Jiang Lu helped Catherine downstairs.

For him, exercising in warm water is a little tiring at best, but for Catherine, it's no different from altitude sickness.

Giovanni was already waiting in the reception hall.

When Jiang Lu and Catherine were taking a bath, he had already learned the whole process from Marino.

He thought that when his sister said about saving, he meant that Jiang Lu had dug her out of the pile of dead people.

But he never expected that Jiang Lu would drag Catherine back from the hands of death.

After contracting the disease, in addition to relying on drugs to delay the time of death as much as possible, this has been a recognized fact for this period of time, but at this time, there was a sudden instance of cure, and the impact on Giovanni was not small.

After learning the news, Giovanni, who was originally sad, suddenly cheered up.

Because his wife also unfortunately contracted the disease during the day today and is in isolation.

He thought that he and his wife were about to be separated from each other, and the fact that many people in the family had died these days made him very depressed as the head of the family, and it wasn't until Catherine came home that he cheered up a little.

Now that I heard the good news again, I naturally cheered up.

However, to his surprise, when he asked Marino how Jiang Lu was treated, Marino said that he didn't know, and only vaguely mentioned the Red Cross that Jiang Lu said.

Giovanni had no choice but to wait for Jiang Lu to finish taking a shower.

After seeing Jiang Lu, he immediately expressed his gratitude again.

"Good Mr. Holmes, on behalf of the Medici family, I sincerely thank you for your help, you will always be me, a friend of Giovanni Medici, a distinguished guest of the Medici family, and you will always be welcome in Florence."

Jiang Lu's mind was dizzy and blank now, and he forgot his casual name for a while, and subconsciously asked:

"Who? Sherlock holmes? Where is it? ”

Facing several surprised glances, Jiang Lu reacted and made up for it casually: "Of course it's in front of you!" Ha ha. ”

“.”

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Jiang Lu changed the topic: "I heard Catherine say just now that her sister-in-law is also sick, where is she now?" ”

"I was about to tell you about it."

Speaking of his wife, Giovanni became a little anxious, forgot about Jiang Lu's strange behavior just now, and said, "She's in the bedroom, please save her!"

Aren't you here to preach? I promise you, if you can really heal her, I will stop practicing Catholicism and go to your disciples, and then you will have the help of all of Florence! ”

"Bold!" Jiang Lu scolded: "Could it be that I am saving people for this kind of illusory benefit? ”

The reprimanded Giovanni was obviously a little flustered: "No, I didn't mean that."

Jiang Lu stared at him silently like this, until the heart of this powerful man who was outside began to grow inexplicably, and he continued: "So in order not to make it ethereal, my suggestion is to make a note. ”

"Huh?"

"You are the blessed one, not affected by disease, but we can get sick at any time, so."

"I see." Jiang Lu nodded: "You guys just wait here." ”

With that, he pushed the door open and entered.

The room is very quiet, both the decoration and furnishings are extremely elegant and sophisticated, and the luxury is extreme.

On the four-poster bed, the graceful and luxurious woman was weakly wrapped in the quilt, and her chest rose and fell rapidly.

Her skin was equally white, but unlike Catherine's natural and healthy complexion, her pale was a sickly pale.

The irregular dark spots all over her body made her look a little hideous, and it was no wonder why many people who saw this phenomenon would associate it with demons, because it was so terrifying.

Since the diagnosis, in just one day, the disease has tormented her into such a bad appearance, if Jiang Lu is not here, then she probably won't survive the second half of the night.

Hearing the movement coming from the door, the woman subconsciously thought that it was the servant who delivered the food, and commanded weakly: "No need to deliver any more food, I will probably leave soon, you should not set foot in this room again, lest you be cursed by the same devil, tell the master of the house, I love him."

Jiang Lu was a little moved.

He approached the sickly-looking woman and said softly, "I'm the doctor Giovanni invited to heal you, take it easy, you'll be healthy soon." ”

"Doctor." The woman's eyelids drooped, and she looked sleepy-eyed: "But you don't wear a mask like them, and you don't wear clothes that can protect against the demon's curse. ”

"It's not a curse, it's just a minor illness, as common as a cough and a runny nose."

Jiang Lu soothed.

Maybe it was his gentleness that infected the woman, even if she didn't believe that she could be healed in her heart, she was still full of despair, but she still nodded lightly: "I believe in you, please play as you like, I will cooperate well." ”

At the same time, outside the door.

Giovanni waited anxiously as Catherine and Marino and the old butler were by his side.

The rest of the Medici family were dismissed by Giovanni to prevent the disease from spreading further.

"Just tell me how he cured you."

Giovanni pleaded.

Even though the example of Catherine's recovery was in front of him, he was worried that he had to consider whether this was the only chance he had in his life to reunite with his wife.

"Okay."

Finally, Catherine still gave in, and she also knew that when her sister-in-law recovered, Giovanni would know the truth sooner or later, and since this was the case, there was no need to hide it.

So she leaned into Giovanni's ear and whispered about Jiang Lu's way of healing.

Giovanni's face changed suddenly, and his eyes widened: "You're not kidding me?!" ”

"Of course I didn't lie to you." Catherine affirmed with a complicated look in her eyes: "Don't worry, Mr. Holmes is very gentle, and he also knows how to take care of the girl's emotions and feelings, and my sister-in-law will not be uncomfortable." ”

"Am I talking about this problem?!" Giovanni yelled in a bit of a breakdown.

Without hesitation, he planned to open the door and stop Jiang Lu, but was stopped by Catherine.

"What are you going to do?" Catherine asked solemnly.

"Needless to say?" Giovanni pursed his lips: "Of course it's to stop him." ”

Syllable!

Catherine gave her a slap in the face.

"Then you're just watching your sister-in-law die?!"

The slap calmed Giovanni.

It is hard for outsiders to imagine that Giovanni, who is always extremely majestic, will one day show such a vulnerable side, and he stopped crying: "But."

"But what?" Catherine said undoubtedly, "Is it permissible for you to keep your mistress outside, and not for your sister-in-law to be forced to heal for once?" Are you doubting your sister-in-law, or are you doubting yourself? ”

"I'm not," Giovanni shook his head with some weakness.

"This is a critical moment, if your impulsiveness causes your sister-in-law to die, then you should be responsible for her death, do you understand?!"

Watching the brother and sister quarrel, or Catherine unilaterally reprimanding Giovanni, Marino and the old butler retreated from a distance.

What they talk about, it doesn't do them any good to listen to it.

But just when Giovanni finally made up his mind to turtle once, Jiang Lu suddenly pushed the door open.

Giovanni was stunned: "So fast? ”

Catherine was also stunned: "How is it possible?" ”

"Say what?" Jiang Lu touched his head: "I haven't started yet." ”

Giovanni's Adam's apple rolled nervously: "Then how do you"

"Oh, that's the case, I told Madame how I would heal her, and Madame said she had to give her consent, and she had to keep you with her, or she would rather die."

Jiang Lu also heard the dispute between the two inside, and knew that Giovanni already knew, so he shrugged his shoulders directly: "It's up to you now." ”

As soon as these words came out, several people outside the door were silent for a while.

Catherine didn't say anything, just looked at Giovanni with a sense of scrutiny, as if to say, you choose.

An indescribable emotion suddenly flooded Giovanni's heart.

Sourness, remorse, guilt

Even at this point, her first consideration was me.

At this moment, all worries and dissatisfaction vanished.

"Good! I'll go! ”

Giovanni followed Jiang Lu into the bedroom under Catherine's satisfied gaze, the old butler's relieved gaze, and Marino's awe-struck gaze.

Kneeling beside the bed, Giovanni tightly held the hand of his wife, who was shaking on his stomach, and kept talking to soothe.

The two looked at each other affectionately.

"Don't worry, Catherine is sick too, but Mr. Holmes has made her look healthier than ever, and so will you, don't be afraid."

"Well, I'm not afraid, I'll cooperate well."

"Mr. Holmes said that when the time comes, he will cure all the Florentine patients, and then I will take you to the countryside to see your favorite scenery."

"Okay."

"You hold on a little longer, and I'll notice that your dark spots are already fading."

"Yes, yes, that's good."

At this time, the treatment had entered a critical time, and Giovanni's wife involuntarily diverted her attention and no longer responded to Giovanni's every word.

But Giovanni kept talking.

"Honey, your face looks much more rosy."

"You're beautiful now, like the first time we met."

"Are you still listening to me?"

His wife forced a mutter, "Hmm"

"That's good, are you feeling bad? Your grip on my hand hurts a little."

Looking at the nails that had been cut into his flesh, Giovanni frowned and said, "Mr. Holmes, does this mean that there is something wrong with the treatment?" ”

Jiang Lu had already been impatient with listening to it, and said perfunctorily: "This is a normal reaction. ”

"Do you hear that? My dear. Giovanni smiled, regardless of whether his wife, who was hanging her head and her eyes closed, could hear it: "You are getting better!" You've never been like this before, and I thought something was wrong. ”

Jiang Lu finally couldn't hold back: "Don't you think this seems to be a bigger problem?!" ”
