Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Chapter 70: Boss, You're So Mean

Klee didn't know how to describe his current feelings. After enduring torture both physically and mentally, he was overwhelmed with joy at the moment of relief. The sensation was like a person dying of thirst in the desert suddenly drinking a glass of ice water, bringing immense relief from within.

It had been a month, a whole month of torment.

Finally, at this moment, he found redemption.

Tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.

Klee got out of bed, intending to kneel before Charlotte.

"Don't be too happy yet. The duration of the drug's effect is still unknown, and whether it can cure you has not been verified," Charlotte supported Klee and prevented him from kneeling.

"To experience such significant relief from pain, I am already content. Doctor, thank you very much, and I apologize for my reckless behavior earlier," Klee expressed his remorse.

Taking the drug again would provide relief from the reaction caused by drug addiction, but it would immediately put him in an agitated state, squeezing his mental and physical faculties.

However, the potion provided by Charlotte was different. It gave a sensation of completely clearing away the illness, leaving a refreshing feeling as if he had come back to life.

What shocked Klee even more was that Charlotte had a potion capable of alleviating the reaction caused by drug addiction!

He had inquired at the medical clinic before and knew that there was no potion in this world that could cure drug addiction, let alone alleviate the addiction's reaction.

That's why he had chosen the most painful method to overcome it.

But the potion Charlotte just gave him eliminated the reaction caused by his drug addiction!

Who was this doctor?!

"Remember, there is no potion in this world that can cure addiction to magic drugs. You have endured and overcome it yourself. What you're experiencing now is only temporary relief," Charlotte calmly stated.

Klee froze for a moment but quickly realized Charlotte's intention. His expression suddenly became serious, and he nodded, "I understand."

"It's not easy to live in the Abyss, and we both know that if the Jadeson family finds out about this, not only will you and your son be in danger, but I will also suffer," Charlotte directly pointed out, fearing that he might not fully comprehend.

Klee nodded solemnly.

Charlotte put away her package and said, "If the addiction recurs, have Abbe come to the medical clinic to find me, and I will provide you with a new prescription."

"Okay, thank you so much," Klee expressed his gratitude.

At that moment, Guy returned with Abbe. Seeing Klee lying on the bed without the iron chains, Guy looked at Charlotte with concern and said, "Doctor, Klee..."

"I gave him some medicine, but it can only alleviate his pain slightly. His willpower is crucial," Charlotte interrupted Guy and put away her package. "He is very weak right now, just vomited again, and needs some food and nutrition."

"We have rice and vegetables at home. I'll go cook for my father," Abbe said and ran out to start a fire and cook.

"Guy, I'm feeling much better now. I'm worried about the medical expenses since we don't have any money. I need to borrow some from you," Klee spoke up, his face filled with shame.

"Don't worry about the money. Take good care of yourself and focus on completely overcoming the addiction. That's what matters most," Guy reassured Klee, relieved to see that his expression was no longer contorted in agonizing pain. He then turned to Charlotte and asked, "Doctor, how much is the fee for this visit?"

"I used one bottle of stamina potion, two bottles of hemostatic potion, and cleansing potion for treating the injuries on his hands and feet. That amounts to a total of 300 copper coins," Charlotte replied.

"This..." Guy and Klee exchanged glances, feeling somewhat troubled.

"This is the normal consultation fee. I'll cover the cost," Guy said firmly.

"This is indeed the normal fee," Charlotte looked at Klee. "Live well, Abbe has a master, and he needs a father too."

Klee nodded emphatically, turned his face away, and wiped away his tears.

"In that case, Abbe doesn't need to come to me today. Let him take care of you at home, and I'll come to pick him up tomorrow morning," Guy said to Klee. "I'll escort Doctor Charlotte back."

Emerging from the dark blacksmith shop, Charlotte felt for the first time that the sky in the Abyss wasn't as dark as it seemed. At least the dim light could illuminate everything around.

Pulling up her hood, Charlotte followed behind Gai, her eyes carefully taking in everything on Tova Street.

The drug-addicted people stumbling along the roadside, the orcs trading at the street corner, the Black Mage Guards laughing while smoking drugs in the distance, and the layout of the streets and alleys... She remembered them all.

On this street, drug trading was openly conducted.

But on Baka Street, drug trading was prohibited.

If she wanted to acquire drugs, this was the best choice.

Soon, they returned to Baka Street.

Charlotte stopped at the butcher shop and bought two wild chickens. Guy insisted on paying the money and accompanied her to the front of the clinic before leaving, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.

Standing at the door, Charlotte watched Guy's figure and a smile appeared on her lips.

Who said the Abyss was only chaos and disarray, and that there was no sense of kinship? Wasn't this friendship?

Indeed, Charlotte hadn't made any money from Kerry. A bottle of the rare Potion of Magic Drug Aversion alone would attract many people willing to pay a hundred thousand copper coins for it.

"Blood loss: 9,900." With the two chickens in hand, Charlotte happily entered the clinic.

"Boss, did you find some money? You seem so happy," Vivian closed the door and curiously asked.

"We're having chicken for dinner. How could I not be happy?" Charlotte raised the two chickens in her hand.

Vivian's eyes immediately lit up, and she nodded repeatedly. "Happy!"

Charlotte noticed Anna, who was sprawled on the counter, slowly licking her right paw. It was like a victorious general cleaning her precious blade.

And in front of her, nine small white mice lay neatly in a row, all in the same position, lying on their backs with all four paws in the air.

"I didn't say they had to be alive..." Charlotte walked up to the counter, but before she could finish her sentence, several of the mice trembled fearfully.

Damn, they're all alive!

Neatly arranged.

Are they performing?

This bloodline suppression is simply unparalleled.

It even made Charlotte doubt whether Anna was an ordinary cat.

He had seen cats catch mice, but he had never seen a cat that could discipline mice so obediently.

Looking at the appearance of these mice, they were the same as the Jerry No. 1 locked in the drawer.

Anna could be described as extremely strict.

"Very well, tonight's chicken legs are all yours." Charlotte patted Anna's head, satisfied, and locked all the small white mice in the drawer.

"Boss, why did you have Anna catch so many mice? Are we going to eat them?" Vivian approached, feeling somewhat conflicted. "I don't eat mice..."

"Mice are quite tasty." Charlotte smiled.

"Really?!"

"Just kidding, I've never eaten them either."

"Ah! Boss, you're so mean..."
