I opened a clinic in the Abyss World
Chapter 193 Clinging to a powerful figure without showing it off is like wearing fine clothes in the
Fat Tiger suddenly sat up, instantly breaking the tense atmosphere in the room.
"She's awake! The boss's medicine really worked!" Vivian exclaimed with delight. The boss hadn't lied to her; this medicine called insulin really could save diabetic patients.
Charlotte's eyes lit up, and he couldn't hide his joy. Mona's irrational behavior at the hospital annoyed him, but that didn't affect his desire to save Fat Tiger and verify the effects of the insulin injection.
The fact that this insulin injection can save lives from ketoacidosis fully demonstrates its effectiveness.
"Boss... Boss, you're still alive!" the werewolf exclaimed in surprise.
Upon hearing this, the beastmen outside the door all showed joy on their faces.
"Nonsense." Fat Tiger rolled his eyes at him, his voice still a little weak. He looked around, his gaze landing on Charlotte. Just as he was about to greet her, he noticed Diana standing to the side and exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this Miss Diana? Are you here for a medical checkup too?"
"Fat Tiger!" Mona loosened her clenched fist, her gloomy expression instantly vanished, and she quickly walked to the stone bed, pulling Fat Tiger into her arms.
"Hey, hey, hey, so many people are watching, and Miss Diana is still here too." Fat Tiger tried to struggle, but when he heard Mona's sobs, he stopped moving, gently patted her back, and whispered, "I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine, how come you were carried to the doctor after just one nap?"
Diana watched this scene without pressing further, simply smiling as she looked at Mona, waiting to see how she planned to end things.
After a while, Mona finally calmed down, released Fat Tiger, turned to look at Charlotte, and bowed to him solemnly, saying, "I'm sorry, Doctor. I apologize for my and my subordinates' foolish and reckless behavior, and thank you for saving Fat Tiger."
Upon seeing this, the orcs inside and outside the gate all bowed their heads to Charlotte in apology.
The previous doubts and resentment will now be replaced by acceptance.
"Uh..." Fat Tiger looked bewildered, but he had a rough idea of what might have happened. He smiled and tried to ease the tension: "What happened now? Looks like you saved my life, Doctor."
"I do not accept this apology. As a doctor, I have not received the respect and trust I deserve, and I have borne responsibilities that I should not have borne, all of which are based on your foolish assumptions." Charlotte looked at Mona coldly, ignoring Fat Tiger.
Fat Tiger's smile froze.
Mona's expression also changed slightly, showing both shame and a hint of anger.
The mercenaries of the Tiger Head Gang gradually became indignant. Shouldn't Charlotte take the opportunity to back down, accept the apology, and pretend nothing happened? Could it be that Charlotte wanted to use Diana's presence to suppress the Tiger Head Gang?
Diana looked at Charlotte with a smile, a hint of surprise in her eyes. In her memory, he wasn't the type to hold a grudge.
Remember us, 101kanshu.com
Charlotte was indeed determined to press the matter, because he didn't want to suffer the humiliation of having a knife to his throat after saving someone.
Mona made such a big fuss to come to his door today, and she saved his life. He has to get his revenge.
Everyone in the Abyss needs to know that Charlotte... has powerful connections!
The instructor is right: a good punch can prevent a hundred more.
Clinging to a powerful figure without showing it off is like wearing fine clothes in the dark.
Charlotte looked at Mona and continued, "Furthermore, I can tell you definitively that this injection will not cure his illness. Its effects will only last for one day. If he wants to survive, he will need to receive this injection at this time every day thereafter."
Mona's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and the anger that had just risen on her face turned into panic. She had thought that Fat Tiger had woken up because Charlotte's medicine had taken effect, and that everything should be fine after that.
Unexpectedly, this medicine only has a one-day shelf life.
"I know you're probably thinking again, 'Am I deliberately setting a trap so that this medicine only works for one day?'" Charlotte's smile was tinged with sarcasm.
Mona lowered her eyes; yes, that was indeed her first thought.
"Let me tell you, he needs daily insulin injections for this illness, and the dosage can't be too high or too low," Charlotte said calmly, looking at her. "Besides, I can't guarantee how long he'll live after taking this medicine. He might live for hundreds of years like a normal orc, or he might only live for a year or two. Are you going to come back to me for his life then?"
Mona lowered her head. Charlotte had made herself clear enough. Now, not only was Diana protecting him, but Fat Tiger's life was also in her hands.
But she is, after all, the leader of the Tiger Head Gang. How can she gain the respect of the masses if she is suppressed like this by a mere doctor?
"Oh, so that's what happened. Dr. Charlotte, please don't be offended. My wife is just that kind of impatient person. She's always the one who has the final say, both at home and in the mercenary group." Fat Tiger struggled to get off the bed, limped forward a couple of steps, grabbed Charlotte's hand, and said with a big smile, "This is all my fault. You saved my life, you're my savior. You'll have to come for acupuncture every day from now on, right? Okay, I'll come every day from now on. I've come to apologize to you today, on behalf of my wife and my brothers, to sincerely apologize to you."
With that, Fat Tiger bowed to Charlotte.
Charlotte reached out and helped Fat Tiger up, preventing him from bending over.
What he wanted was this submissive attitude. You can't hit a smiling face, let alone a smiling tiger.
As the current leader of the Tiger Head Gang, Mona couldn't afford to lose face in front of her subordinates.
So when Fat Tiger took the initiative to do the job, it showed he was a responsible man.
"Alright, let's just leave it at that. Go into the operating room, I'll take care of your leg injury. Your blood sugar has dropped today, so the wound might heal," Charlotte said.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you." Fat Tiger nodded with a smile, winked at the werewolf beside him, who quickly stepped forward to help him into the operating room.
Mona watched Fat Tiger's retreating figure with a complex expression.
Since their leader had already bowed his head and admitted his mistake, the Tiger Head Gang mercenaries naturally had nothing more to say.
Besides, the doctor really did save the eldest son's life and was even willing to treat his leg. If they continued to cause trouble, it would seem like they weren't very sensible.
However, given the commotion they've caused, news of today's events is bound to spread.
Their Tiger Head Gang was outmaneuvered by the Abyss Medical Center, and that news will surely spread among mercenaries and adventurers tomorrow.
However, with Diana keeping things in check, it wasn't too embarrassing.
The surgery on his leg was completed quickly. Charlotte applied hemostatic medicine to Fat Tiger, and the wound did indeed begin to heal visibly, no longer as stubborn as before.
"This..." Fat Tiger looked at his legs, his excitement overflowing.
Not only were the hemostatic drugs working, but he also felt that his own recovery ability had returned to some extent, and he felt that vitality surging in his blood again.
He had already given up hope, and when he drank the anesthetic last night, he felt even more certain that he would pass away peacefully in his sleep.
Unexpectedly, when I woke up again, I was in the Abyss Medical Clinic.
He was still alive, and Charlotte even gave him hope that he could live in a better state.
"Doctor, thank you." Fat Tiger gripped Charlotte's hand tightly, expressing his heartfelt gratitude.
"Come for the injection at noon tomorrow. If there are no problems with the prognosis, it should last for a while," Charlotte said slowly.
"Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow." Fat Tiger nodded, then asked, "How much will today's treatment cost?"
"One hundred thousand copper coins," Charlotte said.
"Um?"
Everyone in the clinic looked at Charlotte.
Even Diana's eyes showed a hint of surprise. Wasn't the average price per customer at this clinic three to five hundred copper coins? How did it suddenly jump to one hundred thousand copper coins?
Vivian's eyes widened. She knew better than anyone what Charlotte had given Fat Tiger: two free cow pancreas, which she had frozen, crushed, and then purified casually, and now she wanted to charge 100,000 copper coins?
Moreover, there are nine cups of the same substance in the alchemy room that have not been purified.
That's...too ruthless!
Fat Tiger was also stunned. Last time, he not only performed surgery, but also took a bunch of anesthetic drugs back with him, and only received 20,000 to 30,000 copper coins.
I'm having the same surgery today, but I had to give an extra injection, and it costs 100,000 copper coins.
Over the years, they have accumulated considerable wealth.
If they were to spend 100,000 copper coins a day like that, their entire fortune would be gone in no time.
Although Charlotte said that if the prognosis was good, he could live a stable life for a while, Fat Tiger still hesitated, wondering if this way of living was really worth it.
"Here are ten gold coins, please accept them." Mona stepped forward and handed ten gold coins to Charlotte without hesitation.
"Mona..." Fat Tiger hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"We'll be there on time tomorrow," Mona said.
Charlotte took the money and nodded slightly: "I will prepare the medicine in advance."
Mona nodded, signaling the werewolf and the leopard-headed man to carry Fat Tiger away.
"Come tomorrow, just bring a thousand copper coins."
As the group walked to the door, Charlotte's voice rang out softly.
"A thousand copper coins?" Fat Tiger's eyes lit up again; this price was within his means.
Mona stopped, turned to look at Charlotte, and bowed again: "Thank you."
After saying that, he led the Tiger Head Gang members onto the carriage and left.
"Alright, I'm starting to think that charging only 10,000 copper coins a month is a bit too cheap, isn't it?" Diana said with a smile to Charlotte.
"Landlady, you can't have that kind of misconception. I'm just asking for some extra compensation for my wounded heart," Charlotte said innocently, stuffing the money into her pocket.
"Boss, is it okay if we have a big meal tonight?!" Vivian's eyes were already shining, her face full of anticipation.
"Sure, it's on me," Charlotte nodded.
"And what about me?" Diana asked, her red lips slightly pursed as she looked at him.
"You must sit in the first seat," Charlotte said without hesitation.
"Buddy, take the team back first," Diana said towards the door.
"Yes, Miss." Buddy nodded, then left with the fox guards who had come to keep watch, closing the door behind him.
"This Dr. Charlotte is something else. If someone comes to cause trouble, Miss Diana will definitely stand up for him."
"That's right. Even the Tiger Head Gang mercenary group had to suffer a setback here. Their leader is a level six tiger beastman."
"Remember this, from now on, never mess with Abyss Medical Clinic on this street."
"It seems the rumors are true; this pretty boy doctor at the clinic is being kept by Miss Diana."
The neighbors watching the spectacle outside were still somewhat unsatisfied.
No one expected that the Tiger Head Gang, who came with great momentum to cause trouble, would eventually run away like a little kitten with its tail between its legs.
Diana personally led her fox guards to support Charlotte, which sparked much speculation.

I've started to have a fever and my whole body aches. I only wrote 3,000 words today. I'll see how it goes tomorrow. I'll write if I can, otherwise I'll have to stop updating.
Sorry, I'll try to make it up as soon as it's restored.
