Chapter 275 Care from the Head Nurse
After reading the information on the note, the group exchanged bewildered glances, none of them understanding the significance of Qiuhe's actions. Qiuhe knew perfectly well that once Kujavina returned in a few days, the King's Game would most likely begin.
If something goes wrong, and Qiuhe isn't around, how will they cope with the potential unforeseen circumstances? These are things they can't predict. At this moment, Clay, somewhat forlornly, handed the note in his hand to Villette.
After receiving the note, Navelette began to condense water elemental energy in her hand. As the water elemental energy covered the note, the writing on it was gradually washed away completely, and the paper was broken down into countless tiny fragments by the water elemental energy.
“Since everything is clear now, I think you have no further questions. Please leave.” Hearing Vilette begin to see them off, the group remained utterly bewildered, completely unable to understand what Qiuhe was hiding from them.
The group didn't understand, but remembering it was a note left by Qiuhe, they had no choice but to follow his instructions. In the end, they all left Mo Mang Palace looking dejected.
Meanwhile, looking towards Petersburg in Melo, Qiuhe gradually awoke from his deep sleep. A faint light shone through the slits of his eyes, and he slowly opened them.
The desk lamp on the side table emitted a soft, not glaring, light, just enough to illuminate the room. "Good morning, little one. How was your sleep? Did you have any nightmares?"
A sweet and gentle voice sounded from the side. Qiuhe turned his head and saw Xigewen sitting on a chair by the bed. As Qiuhe regained consciousness, he held onto the bed and slowly sat up.
Seeing this, Siegwen helped Qiuhe up. After sitting up, Qiuhe gently squeezed his hands together. The stinging pain from yesterday had dissipated, and the discomfort in his body had also subsided. It seemed that Siegwen's milkshake from yesterday had really worked; this was probably a case of bitter medicine being a good thing.
"Yes, thank you, nurse. I feel much better now, and the pain isn't as bad." After checking Qiuhe's physical condition, heart rate, and temperature, Xigewen nodded.
"Hmm... Indeed, the external injuries have almost healed, and some of the internal organs have recovered." A happy and gentle smile appeared on Siegwen's face.
"Well, congratulations, little one, you've fully recovered. When I saw you brought in yesterday, you had not only many external injuries, but your internal injuries were also quite serious. I was thinking you might need to rest for a few more days to recover, but it seems your body has a very strong self-healing ability."
However, although you have recovered, it takes two injections to boost your resistance. I gave you one yesterday while you were sleeping, so you need another one today.”
As she spoke, Siegwen took out a pre-prepared vaccine syringe from her small medical kit. "Here, hold out your hand. Don't be afraid, it won't hurt much." While reassuring Qiuhe, Siegwen injected the syringe into his arm. She then noticed that Qiuhe didn't scream, cry, or make a fuss at all.
"Hmm... little one, you're really brave! You weren't scared at all. What a little warrior!" After a sweet compliment, Siegwen picked up a bento box from the side. "Well, as a reward for being a good child, this is a nutritious meal I prepared for you, and your favorite milkshake from yesterday." Siegwen then opened the bento box lid.
The moment the set meal was revealed in the bento box, Qiuhe felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The few mushrooms and biscuits that served as garnish were alright, but what was that purple meat? Not to mention the very familiar milkshake next to it. Qiuhe felt his vision go black and almost fainted.
"Good heavens, this isn't a reward, it's torture!" At that moment, Siegwen used her knife and fork to cut off a piece of the strange meat and, along with a mushroom, offered it to Qiuhe's mouth. Qiuhe quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth.
"Wait, wait a minute, nurse, I'm much better now. I can eat by myself. You must have a lot to do, nurse. Why don't you put these things down and go do other things? I can eat by myself." Hearing this, Siegwen smiled sweetly, like a gentle little angel.
"It's alright. Everyone in Mello Petersburg has been very healthy these past few days, and I have plenty of time. Besides, your hand is still bandaged, so it's not convenient for you to hold utensils. When it's inconvenient, you should rest more. You're so cute, so you have to be responsible for your cuteness."
Hearing this tone, so gentle it defied description, Qiuhe remained completely unmoved. Why? Because it felt like a beautiful princess from a fairy tale was forcing you to eat a bizarre, unidentifiable object...
"She still has to eat! She's not a princess! She's Siegfried!!! We can't let our kind and lovely head nurse be sad!!!"
Qiuhe screamed inwardly, his face trembling with a fierce determination, and slowly opened his mouth to eat the mosaic that emitted a strange smell. As he chewed it for a while, his tense expression began to relax.
"This...is it not bad?" Qiuhe was somewhat surprised after eating the piece of meat. Although the meat looked and looked strange, it tasted pretty good.
However, Akikawa did wonder if there was something wrong with his appetite, but after drinking the milkshake that Siegwen handed him, he dismissed the thought.
Finally, after another long meal, Qiuhe managed to finish the milkshake along with the nutritional meals. Watching Qiuhe finish all the nutritional meals...
Hise Wen was also very happy and satisfied, gently patting Qiuhe's head. "Yes, you ate all your nutritious meals, without wasting any food. You're doing great, little one."
As Siegwen was praising them, footsteps sounded outside the room, drawing their attention to the doorway. They saw that the person standing there was a guard from Mero Petersburg.
"Hello, Head Nurse. Excuse me, is this prisoner number 517?" Qiuhe was still somewhat puzzled when the administrator mentioned prisoner number 517.
But Siegwen nodded. "Yes, this little boy is the one who just came in yesterday, his name is Qiuhe." After confirming she hadn't made a mistake...
The administrator then looked at Qiuhe. Finding him sitting unresponsive on the bed, the administrator raised his voice and angrily berated him, "Hey, number 517, are you blind or deaf? What are you sitting there for? It's 7 a.m.! Let me tell you, if you want to survive in this place, get to work! Don't make me teach you a lesson with the whip!"
Hearing the angry shout and the tone, Qiuhe was even more bewildered. "Is Melo Petersburg really this cruel to underage prisoners? No, I don't remember this place treating prisoners this harshly, regardless of whether they're minors or not?"
“Mr. Podak, please calm down. He’s just a child, and he’s only just arrived in Mello Petersburg. He doesn’t know the rules here yet. You’ll scare him. You have to be patient with children.”
Hearing what Hisewen said, the administrator calmed down a bit and said, "Head Nurse, you should understand that this isn't something I can decide. Even if it's just a child, those locked up here aren't good people, and besides..."
I heard from the guards who brought him in that he was a serious criminal. There can be no leniency towards such criminals; this is not only the rule of Mero Petersburg, but also the warden's rule. I was simply acting impartially.”
After hearing this, Xigewen remained silent. "Head Nurse," Xigewen turned around upon hearing Qiuhe's voice. "Thank you for your concern, Head Nurse, but it's alright, sir."
I understand what you're saying. After all, a criminal is a criminal. Hard work is a form of atonement. Thank you for your kind care, head nurse. Don't worry about me.
Hearing these sensible and obedient words, coupled with Melusin's unique insight, Siegwen could clearly see that Qiuhe's expression was very sincere.
But the administrator standing nearby, upon hearing the word "uncle," instantly felt a surge of anger. "Hey, brat! I don't look like an old man at all!"
As he spoke, he pulled out a short iron rod from his waist. "If your eyes are just for show, then you don't need to leave them in the way!"
“Mr. Podak, my job here is to take care of every injured person. His injuries have just healed. If you re-injure him, I might have to take care of him for a long time, and he might not be able to work for a long time.”
Upon hearing this, the warden stopped what he was doing. Despite his immense resentment and anger, a long-standing unspoken rule existed in Mello Petersburg: Siegwen was absolutely inviolable. Anyone who disrespected Siegwen would face the collective condemnation of all the prisoners.
The guard then closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and produced a set of prison clothes. "I'll wait for you outside. Change into these and come out quickly."
After the administrator finished speaking, Siegwen stepped forward and took the prison uniform. "Alright, Mr. Podak, I'll tell Qiuhe what to do. Just wait patiently."
After hearing this, the administrator left the room, and Siegwen handed the prison uniform to Qiuhe. "I'm sorry, little friend, but everyone is good at heart. That gentleman just now only did it unintentionally. Don't take it to heart."
