At the moment, Chen Zhao and Zola were in the grass behind the hospital, hugging and kissing each other.
"I heard that Asian men are very reserved."
"There's a saying in China that's also American slang. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. It means that wherever you go, you have to adapt to the local customs and habits." Chen Zhao's hand was already in Zola's collar, holding the plump ball of flesh.
Zola was passionate and skilled. Her hand was also playing with Chen Zhao's lower body.
The panting sounds of a man and a woman came from the shadows. The two went on for an hour before stopping.
After tidying up her makeup, she returned to the corridor of the ward.
Zola went in to check on Rasfa. Seeing the steady heartbeat on the heart monitor and Rasfa's snoring, she heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Chen Zhao's medicine had worked.
At least, he'd passed the most dangerous time.
There were still three or four hours until daybreak. Zola had already fallen asleep.
Chen Zhao took off his jacket and covered Zola. He walked around with the dog.
"There's a lot of prey here." Blackie was like a wolf in a flock of sheep. The faceless hood actually shone with a faint light.
"Don't mess around." Chen Zhao was shocked. He felt that bringing Blackie to the hospital was a complete mistake.
"There's a lot of prey, but they don't belong to me," Blackie said dejectedly. Old Black said dejectedly, "I don't feel their deaths, so they don't belong to me. Hey … I feel one."
Blackie suddenly stopped in front of a ward. "It's a pure soul. I'm so lucky. I can refine a lot of demonic crystals from this."
Chen Zhao pushed the door open and saw a pale boy lying on the bed in the dim room. The boy was wearing a respirator and his hair was shaved.
Chen Zhao was silent for a while. "How will he die?"
"There's something in his head, and at fifteen o 'clock sharp this afternoon, that thing will kill him."
"Will demonic crystals work on him?"
"It can be suppressed, but as long as the thing in his head is still there, he can only stall for time," Blackie said. "But if you want me to give up on this prey, you have to give me something in return."
"I owe you a year's worth of demonic crystals."
"Not enough."
"Don't bargain with me. This is the price. If you're not satisfied, then our deal is invalid and you can take his soul."
"Alright, can you not lower the price so much next time?"
Chen Zhao looked inside the room. There were no monitors. He took out some demonic crystal powder, opened the boy's mouth, and poured it in.
"His time of death has passed. He has half a year left," Blackie said.
Just as he left the ward, a female doctor suddenly came up to him.
"Who are you?"
"Uh … I'm the patient's family member."
"No, you're not John's relative. He's been living here for two years, and I've never seen you. Besides, it's impossible for a relative to visit at this time. Who are you?"
"I … I went to the wrong room. My friend is in the intensive care unit. The rooms here all look the same."
Just then, the female doctor picked up the walkie-talkie. "Security, security, come here."
Chen Zhao stood there helplessly. He didn't plan on running. Then he was brought to the security room.
"Who are you? If you don't tell me the truth, I'll call the police. "The female doctor stared at Chen Zhao relentlessly.
"I told you, I went to the wrong room."
"Then why did you lie at the beginning?"
"You're wrong. When have I ever lied?"
"Looks like I can only call the police."
Chen Zhao also picked up his phone. "Zola, can you come to the security room? I think there's some misunderstanding between the doctors here and me."
A while later, Zola walked in. Seeing Chen Zhao, she glanced at the female doctor.
"Can you tell me what happened?"
"This man broke into a boy's room. I suspect that he has an ulterior motive."
Just then, a female nurse ran in excitedly. "Farr, John woke up! He woke up!"
"What? John woke up? How is that possible? "
"It's true. After he woke up, he kept saying that he's hungry. He wants to eat."
"That's impossible … He's been unconscious ever since he came out of the chemotherapy room. He can't have that kind of appetite … Plus … the recent chemotherapy hasn't been good. The thing in his brain hasn't shrunk. It's already pressing down on his central nervous system. He can't wake up."
Farr had been John's main doctor. She knew John's condition very well.
Recently, John had been relying on fluids to replenish his nutrition. The chemotherapy had completely destroyed his taste buds.
This was a very cruel thing to do to a child.
The cruelest thing was that after paying such a huge price, his condition didn't get better at all.
The chemotherapy wasn't very effective for him anymore. Instead, it was destroying his vitality even more.
"But it's true. He looks very energetic."
"Doctor, if my friend is fine, can I take him away?"
"No!"
"I think that's possible. The hospital doesn't have the right to detain my friend. If you want to restrict his freedom, please call the police and have them talk to my lawyer. We'll be outside Room 01. You can call the police anytime."
Chen Zhao followed behind Zola. "Thank you. I owe you one."
"Did you save that boy?"
"What boy? I don't know what you're talking about."
"You barged into that room to save that boy?"
"You should worry about your father's condition first. It's about time. You should wake him up for breakfast."
"He's already awake. He said that he was hungry the moment he woke up. It's the same as that boy."
"It seems that I succeeded. By the way, can you ask Paul to send my consultation fee to where I live? Oh, I need to get into shape. I only take cash. "
"You're not staying to discuss my father's treatment?"
"I really don't want to have anything to do with him anymore. Your father isn't easy to deal with."
"Can't you do it for me?"
Chen Zhao chuckled. We really don't have much to do with each other.
Do you really think there's a story where you can forget everything in one night?
"Name your price."
"Six treatments. I guarantee that your father can live for at least one more year. One hundred thousand dollars per treatment."
"There's no treatment that expensive in the world."
"Are you sure?"
