I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

Chapter 233 My Husband Died by Chance

Charlotte was momentarily stunned, because this lady was just... absolutely amazing!

Who could resist an elegant and beautiful pink-haired vampire?

Not only is she beautiful, but her voice is also exceptionally gentle and pleasant.

Before this, Charlotte had always believed that Monte must have fallen into a trap set by a wealthy woman seeking a child for a large sum of money, thus paying a hefty processing fee and then disappearing without a trace.

Unexpectedly, he actually brought the person.

After meeting the person, Charlotte became even more convinced of her judgment.

Monte was definitely scammed.

Why would such a beautiful vampire wife need to offer a large sum of money to have a child?

All she had to do was stand in front of the door and shout, and the threshold would be trampled flat that very night.

No matter how outstanding a man is, he is still a man, and it is difficult for any man to resist a woman who is so perfect.

So, what was her motive for issuing that announcement?

The exorbitant registration fee has already exposed everything—it's all about money.

  

"Hello, I'm Charlotte," Charlotte said with a smile.

The fact that he couldn't see through Mrs. Nancy's strength meant that she was stronger than him, even stronger than Monte.

So, even though she could have robbed him, she deliberately set up a scam of offering a large sum of money for a child to swindle his money.

she really...

"Mont has already told me about Dr. Charlotte, but she looks even younger and more handsome in person." Nancy tossed her hair, her voice gentle with a hint of shyness.

Charlotte looked at her and said, "Mrs. Nancy is as beautiful and charming as I imagined."

"Doctor, you're so good with words." Nancy chuckled, covering her mouth, her watery eyes sparkling.

"Aren't you going to invite us in for a bit?" Monte flipped down from the doorframe, winked at Charlotte, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I've brought the person to you. You'd better do your best. Whether we make a fortune depends on you."

"I said I wouldn't get involved. Do you think I can handle this woman?" Charlotte whispered.

Monte said impatiently, "Then at least complete the first stage and help me get my handling fee back. Then we can split the 500,000 copper coin reward."

"Phase one?"

"Yes, the kiss is the first stage. Once I get to that point, I'll receive my first bounty." Monte winked. "The rest is up to you, brother. I've mortgaged the castle; there's no turning back."

"You old rascal!" Charlotte laughed angrily, but Monte had already stepped aside, so she could only swallow her words and, looking at Nancy standing elegantly at the bottom of the steps, had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Please come in."

"You guys chat, I have some things to do, I'll come find you later," Monte said, then turned and slipped away.

"You..." Charlotte was speechless. This guy didn't even introduce him to the basics, but wanted him to win over Nancy and steal her kiss. Wasn't this putting him on the spot?

As a straight man, flirting isn't his forte; he relies entirely on muscle memory.

Nancy lifted her skirt and walked into the clinic, her beautiful eyes curiously looking around.

The clinic wasn't very large, but it was neat and new, probably recently built, and decorated very exquisitely with marble floors.

Instead of animal oil lamps, they were lit by a kind of luminous white crystal, polished into a smooth sphere and hung up, which looked quite stylish while ensuring brightness.

The layout was quite different from that of typical medical clinics. The reception hall was not very spacious, and there was a stone bed and two chairs on the right side, which seemed to be used for receiving patients.

Further ahead was a long counter, and behind the counter was a wall full of cabinets, each shelf filled with all sorts of medicines.

There were several rooms inside with their doors closed; I don't know what they were used for.

The entire clinic gave her the impression of being small and exquisite, and it was very well organized and spotless.

Running such a small clinic, business probably isn't very good, and they likely don't have much money.

"The clinic is rather small and doesn't have a reception room. Please sit here for a while." Charlotte pulled out a chair from the side. It wouldn't be appropriate to invite her upstairs directly on their first meeting.

Nancy didn't hesitate at all, and sat down gracefully, looking at Charlotte with a slight smile, "Dr. Charlotte seems a little nervous."

"To be honest, I was a little nervous being alone with such a beautiful woman as Mrs. Nancy for the first time." Charlotte poured her a glass of warm water.

Nancy glanced at the steaming water in the crystal glass, but didn't reach out to take it. A slight smile played on her lips. "Is there any wine? A little wine will make you less nervous."

"This woman..." Charlotte's eyes twitched. She wanted to drink as soon as they met, but there wasn't even any food.

"Wine? We have some." Charlotte turned around and took out a half-open bottle of red wine from under the cabinet, the leftovers from when Roland came last time.

Nancy was stunned, and the smile on her face froze instantly. How stingy was this man to give her the leftover wine?

Charlotte uncorked the bottle, filled a new crystal glass, and handed it to Nancy.

Nancy took the drink, and seeing that Charlotte hadn't poured any more, she asked in surprise, "Aren't you drinking?"

"I'll just have some warm water. The rest can be used to entertain the next guest." Charlotte put the remaining half-bottle of wine back in the cabinet, holding the glass of water she had poured for Nancy earlier.

"Doctor, you really are..." Nancy tried hard to control her expression; it was the first time she had ever drunk someone else's leftover wine. "So thrifty and family-oriented."

"Living in the Abyss isn't easy. If you're not frugal, you might not survive. We're used to it." Charlotte sat down opposite Nancy, looking at her. "By the way, Monte didn't tell me much about your wife, so I'll take the liberty of asking: Where are you from? Do you have a castle? How much money have you saved over the years? If you have children, will you require child support?"

Nancy was just about to speak when Charlotte beat her to the punch, and most of the lines were the same ones she used to ask men. Nancy was momentarily speechless.

The men she had met before were initially after the huge bounty, but after seeing her beautiful face, they would immediately fall at her feet. They believed whatever she said, and she completely controlled everything, manipulating the men at will.

But this man today seems a little different.

His eyes were clear and bright. When he first saw her, he was momentarily lost in thought, a look of admiration, but he quickly regained his composure. Even now, sitting so close to her, there was not a trace of eagerness or ingratiation in his eyes.

For a moment, she even doubted her own charm.

"Um... I come from the Garsen Islands overseas. I own an island, and there is indeed a castle on the island. As for savings..." Nancy was speechless. Even she wouldn't ask someone's savings so directly.

Are you polite?

There's also the issue of child custody.

Does this man really think they'll have a child together?

"I haven't kept track of my savings, but it's more than enough to pay the fee." Nancy smiled slightly and leaned forward. "However, Doctor, are you really that confident I'll choose you? I want a child who can inherit the earldom. Even if you're truly outstanding, you'll still need to pass my evaluation."

"To be honest, the moment I saw you at the door, I already knew what our child's name would be." Charlotte leaned forward slightly, staring into Nancy's bright, ruby-like eyes.

The man's warm breath almost touched her face. His eyes suddenly became intense, and his voice, though gentle, carried a hint of domineering. His words caused Nancy's face to flush.

Her eyes gradually brightened, as if she had spotted some long-awaited prey, and she began to get excited.

Yes, it's different. This prey is completely different from the ones we've had before.

He was young and handsome, tall and outstanding, with clear and bright black eyes, like a simple and easy-to-deceive little lamb. But sometimes his words and aura were like a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"What are you laughing at?" Charlotte asked suddenly, looking at Nancy's wildly upturned smile.

"I..." Nancy's expression faltered for a moment, but she quickly regained her elegance, took a sip of red wine, and exclaimed in surprise, "Hmm? This wine is quite delicious."

This red wine should be from a Bordeaux winery and aged for over thirty years. In addition to its strong aroma, it also has a subtle blend of floral and oak notes. It should cost over 100,000 copper coins per bottle.

She enjoys drinking, and the castle's cellar is stocked with fine wines; she has already freed herself from the base desires and dependence on blood.

She has plenty of wines of this caliber in her cellar; it's not unusual.

But the man in front of me, who said it was not easy to live in the abyss, was drinking red wine that cost 100,000 copper coins a bottle, which seemed a bit dishonest.

In her spare time, she read many books written by humans, including some about psychological games.

It must be said that humans, who are inherently weak, are indeed the most cunning race on the continent of Aesop.

The man in front of me probably has hundreds of schemes up his sleeve.

"Oh, a friend gave it to me, and I haven't been able to bring myself to drink it," Charlotte explained.

"A gift?" Nancy frowned. Judging from how reluctant he was to drink it, the wine probably wasn't bought by him, which meant he wasn't as wealthy as people thought.

Monte had already given Charlotte a general overview of her situation.

Three years ago, he was a renowned genius doctor in Kalva, but his magical origins were destroyed, and he was expelled from Kalva, ending up in the abyss.

However, it seems that his life is not too difficult. He runs a clinic, but how does he treat patients after his magical abilities have been destroyed? Is he a fraud?

"Mrs. Nancy, when shall we begin? And what is this 'investigation' you mentioned?" Charlotte put down her crystal glass and looked at Nancy with a half-smile.

He wanted to see what this woman was really up to.

He didn't believe she was being pursued by men, since a woman like her could be pursued by high-quality men at any time, if she wanted to.

Then all that's left is to seek wealth; it's highly likely that Monte's 100,000 copper coins will never be recovered.

As for the 500,000 copper coin reward that Monte imagined in the first stage, it was nothing but a mirage. How could that guy, who wasn't very smart, possibly outsmart this woman?

He was just curious about how she planned to empty his pockets.

But judging from her strength, luxurious carriage, gorgeous clothes, and priceless jewelry, he couldn't understand why this woman would travel thousands of miles to the Abyss just for a few hundred.

"Don't be impatient. I'm not looking for fleeting pleasure, but a perfect child. We've only just arrived in the Abyss and met for the first time, so I need to examine you further, such as your family history, your physical condition, and whether you have any bad habits. I need to make sure everything is in order before we talk about the next step." Nancy put down her wine glass, which she had only taken a sip from, straightened her skirt, and stood up, looking down at Charlotte. "Also, my husband died at a convenient time, on our wedding night, without even entering the bridal chamber. I'm not a casual woman, and I hope you won't disappoint me."

See? He's already starting to hint at it, even addressing the classic virginity complex. Lott exclaimed, "Then, Madam, you're quite resilient!"
