Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Chapter 48: It Seems Like I've Lost My Memory



Chapter 48: It Seems Like I've Lost My Memory

The arrowhead was exposed in the incision, and after confirming that there was no tissue adhesion, Charlotte carefully pulled it out.

This pig's luck was indeed good. Although the arrowhead was deeply embedded, it narrowly missed the artery.

With the arrow removed, the cleaning and suturing became much simpler.

With solid basic skills, Charlotte sewed an unsightly centipede pattern on the pig's buttocks.

"Is that it?" The onlookers looked at the arrow placed in a dish and then at the pig's buttocks that had been cut open and stitched back together. Apart from the unsightly stitching, there was no more bleeding.

The gazes directed at Charlotte had already changed.

Doctors were extremely rare in the abyss, and no one wanted to offend them because nobody could guarantee that they wouldn't get injured someday. One might even have to beg them for help in critical moments.

The pig-headed orc, whose face had turned pale from the pain, was still lying on the operating table groaning. Charlotte had already helped him remove the iron chains and calmly said, "Next."

"Are you butchering pigs or treating injuries?" The pig-headed orc struggled to climb off the operating table. He made an effort to turn his head and glanced at the wound on his buttocks. After blinking his eyes and confirming that there was no bleeding or major hole, he finally closed his mouth.

He had just thought that he was going to die. It felt like all the blood in his body was about to drain away. Although this doctor didn't look very reliable, he did save his life.

"This surgery, combined with magical potions, does have some miraculous effects." Buddy looked at Charlotte. The fact that he could properly treat such complex injuries showed that his medical skills were indeed good, at least better than some doctors who only knew low-level healing spells.

In a chaotic and lawless place like the abyss, various external injuries were the most common.

As long as a medical clinic could treat external injuries and ensure a high enough survival rate, it would be enough to thrive in the abyss.

It seemed that this guy was not only good at pleasing women. Buddy would have to report back to the lady about him.

"Are you really fine?" The two-headed dog-like orc frowned as he scrutinized the pig-headed orc from top to bottom, trying to find fault.

"The wound is stitched up, and the arrow is removed..." The pig-headed orc answered cautiously. Although he felt somewhat weak, he was currently feeling fine. With a few days of rest, he should be back to his normal self.

The two-headed dog-like orc rolled his eyes. With Buddy present, it wasn't a good time to start trouble. He could only signal the other orcs to come forward and attend to their wounds.

The other orcs lined up obediently, allowing Charlotte to treat their wounds one by one.

The injuries of the others were relatively minor, and Charlotte handled them quickly. It took less than half an hour to finish.

"Let's forget about today's incident, but don't get too cocky. You injured my brother, and Carol will demand an explanation from you!" The two-headed dog-like orc said a harsh remark to Buddy and led the group of orcs to prepare to leave.

"Hold on!" Charlotte washed his hands and looked at the two-headed dog-like orc who had already reached the doorway. "Have you forgotten something?"

"What do you want?" The two-headed dog-like orc turned around, staring at Charlotte fiercely.

"Settle the bill before you leave," Charlotte said calmly.

Buddy took a step forward, positioning himself right beside Charlotte. His hand lightly touched the hilt of his sword, and his gaze turned icy.

"Boss?"

"I'm not dead yet." Charlotte supported himself on the door and stood up, looking at Vivian with a wry smile. "I just got tired from the surgery and sat on the ground to rest for a while."

"Then... those terrifying orcs just now?"

"They were scared off by the landlady's fox guards. We should be safe for the time being..." Charlotte's words were interrupted as Vivian suddenly threw herself into his arms, holding him tightly and sobbing.

"Sniff... I thought I would never see you again..." Vivian cried.

When she was hiding in the attic, she felt abandoned by the whole world, even her last support was about to leave her.

Without Charlotte, how could she survive in the Abyss?!

So when she saw Charlotte again, her emotions instantly collapsed.

Vivian held on too tightly, and her two little rabbit ears bumped into each other, making Charlotte slightly uncomfortable.

Fortunately, she likes the cool and composed type!

She is immune to this kind of big cute girl.

"It's all right, don't worry. I'm fine." Charlotte gently patted her back and looked down at the girl in his arms, only reaching his chest. He inexplicably felt a sense of empathy.

Both of them had been abandoned by the world and suffered hardships. They were both pitiful souls.

Anna jumped onto the counter at some point, folding her little paws and assuming the appearance of a bystander.

Vivian sniffed, her emotions slightly stabilizing, and then realized that her cheek was pressed tightly against a broad and warm chest. Her eyes widened suddenly, and she quickly let go of Charlotte's hand, stepping back several steps, her face blushing to her ears.

"Oh my goodness! I hugged the boss!" Vivian breathed heavily, feeling flustered and at a loss, looking for a way to quickly escape.

"How does it feel? A broad and warm chest," Charlotte straightened his chest, indeed, he did have some chest muscles now.

"I... who am I? Where am I? It seems like I've lost my memory..." Vivian's gaze evaded, confused and fidgety, even her toes were scratching the floor.

Charlotte didn't continue teasing her, walked to the counter, poured himself a glass of water, and said, "The good news is that we have the landlady protecting us, so Carol shouldn't be able to do anything to us for the time being. But we still need to be cautious, after all, this is the Abyss, anyone could be an assassin."

"Okay," Vivian replied with her head lowered.

If it weren't for the dangerous world outside, she would have fled from here long ago!

"Then, I'll leave the cleaning work to you. I'm going to take a shower and change clothes." Charlotte picked up the money bag and went straight upstairs.

As he reached the corner of the stairs, he couldn't wait any longer and opened his attribute panel:

Charlotte looked at the wealth value of 34,350 and smiled with joy. Later, he would exchange it for three bottles of Powerful Strength Potion.

Moreover, his wound cleaning and dressing skill was about to be upgraded to intermediate. He wondered what changes would occur.

Most importantly, the progress of the main quest was already more than half completed. A collective minor injury like today was perfect for grinding this quest.

If it weren't for the danger outside, he would have wanted to go out and provide free medical consultations. He could complete the quest in just one day.

Wealth value is virtual wealth, the silver and copper coins in the money bag are the actual currency.

Today, he made two windfalls, which filled his money bag like never before.

He sold the eight-legged red spider demon core for 21,000 copper coins and received 32,000 copper coins as medical fees tonight. He also obtained 531 copper coins from the one-eyed wolf-man. Combined with the 1,120 copper coins he had left, he now had 54,651 copper coins!

This was truly a huge sum of money.

Charlotte had never had so much cash in his two lifetimes!

He sorted the silver and copper coins, and then picked up a gold coin and blew on it, listening to the sound in his ear.

Hmm, it didn't make any sound.

"What a good coin, it's a pity it won't be mine tomorrow..." Charlotte reluctantly put the money back into the bag and sighed.
