Chapter 167 Reunion with Mary

Chapter 168: Reunion with Mary

Because it was an ambulance, I was able to get from the Mika Building to the Mika Hospital very quickly. Lying on the emergency bed, I was carried into the hospital by doctors and nurses. At this time, the emergency department had already received many injured people brought from the skyscraper. However, the situation was relatively stable, at least there was no panic. The doctor who had been chatting with me all the way was also very dedicated to helping me arrange a consultation with Mary.

"Little brother, Director Marissa is still in the operating room. It may take a while for her to come. Your injury..."

"Well~ It's okay, doctor. I can wait." I smiled at the doctor. Anyway, I was lying down now, and as long as I didn't move my arm, it wouldn't hurt.

"Well, okay, but let me take care of the wound on your leg first. Then I can take some X-rays for you."

"Okay, thank you uncle~" I didn't refute the doctor's words, and let him treat the wound on my leg. After all, if even such a bloody wound had to be handed over to Mary, then these doctors would be derelict in their duty.

Soon, the doctor disinfected the scratch on my leg and bandaged it to stop bleeding. Then I was pushed to the X-ray department for an X-ray, and then returned to an empty emergency room, waiting for Mary's arrival. About fifteen minutes later. There was a knock on the door of my room, and a beautiful woman in a white coat walked in. Her long golden hair was tied up behind her head, and her contact lenses were replaced with red framed glasses. Although the two unique lavender hairpins were not pinned on the ponytails, they were pinned on the left and right of her head, which did not look abrupt at all. Although Mary has become a director-level doctor in the hospital, in her golden eyes, you can still see a trace of the once soft and gentle breath, and even in the depths of her eyes, there is still a hint of sadness and longing.

"Little boy, are you the child that Doctor Asakusa just mentioned and asked me to treat you?" Mary asked subconsciously when she saw me lying on the hospital bed, but her eyes did not leave the medical records and X-rays in her hands.

"Well, yes." I said softly.

"Eh?" Mary was slightly startled when she heard my voice. She raised her head, pushed up her glasses, and looked at me intently. And the more she looked, the more her pupils shrank. "Little friend... have we met somewhere before?"

"Huh? No." I said calmly.

"...Is that so?" Mary looked at me in confusion, "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person." Looking at the pale golden color, Mary's eyes dimmed a little, and she quickly drove the sadness out of her mind. Mary whispered to me, "Well, although I don't know why you asked me to treat you, after listening to Dr. Asakusa's description of your situation, it is indeed the most appropriate for me to take over your current situation." Mary put the X-ray film under the light. "From the film, your right shoulder bone is not broken, but dislocated. Now I will help you reconnect it. The process may be a little painful, little friend, you have to bear it."

"Yes." After a simple response, Mary gently pressed my shoulder, dragged my arm and began to move the joints. After finding the right shoulder position, she pushed upward with force, and heard a crisp sound of bones. The right shoulder and arm were connected together.

"It's ok, kid." After reattaching my right arm, Mary looked at me in confusion. "Why don't you feel any pain?"

"It hurts." I responded by trying to move my right shoulder. "But it doesn't hurt now. Thank you, Dr. Marissa."

"Eh? Um..." Mary was puzzled. Even an adult would scream out in pain when setting a dislocated bone, so why could this child be so calm? But she soon gave up her doubts. Not to mention this child, there were many people she knew who could do it. Of course, the most important one among them was the person she had always followed, IceWine. He was the only one who would not scream whether he was setting a bone or getting injured. Even if it was an operation without anesthesia, he could hold on to the bed board tightly, and even if he was sweating profusely, he could still stick to the entire operation without making a sound. What a pity...

Recalling this, Mary's eyes could not help but be misty, but she quickly shook off the memory, turned her back to me, rubbed her eyes, and then continued to treat me.

"Little boy, although your right shoulder has been reattached, I still suggest that you wear a sling. After all, you are young and your bones are soft." As she spoke, Mary applied a layer of medicine on the swollen part of my left ankle and tied a bandage on it. "And the sprained left foot has damaged the soft tissue. It looks like you will have to stay in the hospital for a week. I will ask someone to get you a pair of crutches and, of course, a wheelchair."

"Yeah, OK." Lying back on the bed, I couldn't help but smile at Mary walking out of the room. This girl didn't recognize me. But when I think about it, I have changed too much now. Even if my behavior and voice are the same as before, no one can imagine that a 17 or 18-year-old boy will return to childhood.

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

After Mary left, I was the only one left in the ward. Soon, a nurse came to my ward with a cane and a wheelchair, but Mary didn't come back with them. After all, there were still many injured patients in the hospital, and Mary couldn't stay here forever. I'll wait until the night is quiet, and then I'll go find her alone.

The nurse left the ward, leaving me alone to rest. In fact, in a situation like today, single rooms like mine should be very scarce. Theoretically, I should have been carried to the hall to rest after the treatment, but perhaps considering my hospitalization and my age, I was left here, but this also made me happy to be free.

Taking out my phone, I called Jingliu first.

"Moshimoshi, ice~" Jingliu's sweet voice came into my ears. "Why are you still not asleep so late?"

"Hehe, I missed you, Sister Jingliu. So I called to say hello."

"Tsk~ You're so smooth-talking~" Jingliu said mischievously. "What's wrong? What happened again that makes you unhappy and want your sister to accompany you?
"Hey, hey... you are such a fool." I narrowed my eyes. "Nothing, I just encountered an explosion and I am now in the hospital."

"Eh?! Are you okay?" Jingliu became worried instantly.

"Of course it's okay. I'll call you right away." I said with a joking smile. "Huh... I just watched a live broadcast on TV. It said that a skyscraper in Mihua City was planted with a bomb. I was just thinking about whether I should send you a message to ask." Jingliu breathed a sigh of relief. "Wait a minute... Is it a coincidence that you are in that building?"

"Bingo..." I raised my eyebrows. "But now he's safely in the hospital. He just sprained his ankle. He'll be fine in two days."

"You really are... You were constantly injured in the organization. I thought you would be less injured now that you're back home. But you got injured again in just a few days." Jingliu scolded me angrily.

"Ah... who made me run into a death detective? But it's okay, I'll be careful." I hurriedly comforted him. "By the way, how is the island project going now?"

"Well... the design phase is basically complete. Should I send you the blueprint?"

"Ah, no need. I just need a rough idea of ​​the situation," I responded. "Starting from the southeast base, how many high ground points do we have?"

"There are seven commanding heights from the base to the amusement park in the center. There are two high towers at the inland bridge in the west. The roller coaster in the amusement park is built around the island. It is definitely the largest roller coaster in the world. We have also set up many iron frames on the track structure. They are enough to be used as commanding heights. Houses will also be built in a high-low form. High-rise buildings will be given to our people to build large shopping malls or hotels, and other buildings will be used as residential houses and various public buildings. Don't worry, in terms of construction, we give priority to fully grasping the movements of the entire island. Once chaos occurs, both surveillance and signal transmission and reception will be absolutely beneficial."

"Ha, it turns out that Sister Jingliu understands me best." I said happily. That's right, the construction of this island must have been carried out under the watchful eyes of multiple black forces. The second-in-command of the three black forces that I killed must have been paying close attention to our movements, so such protection measures must be established.

"Of course, after all, this is our home~" Jingliu also smiled sweetly. "In addition to the commanding heights, we plan to set up sub-bases in various areas, and the security system will also be established. However, since the island has just begun to develop, many underground complexes are still being excavated, so this may take a long time."

"It doesn't matter. We still have time. What we need is absolute secrecy and strict information security. Let Skinny Wolf work harder on this."

"Okay, I understand." Jingliu responded. "Well, it's so late, Bing, you should also go to bed early. I will go to Rice Flower City to see you when I finish my work here."

"Oh, okay, but my work is not over yet. Give the phone to Axue. I still have something to tell you."

"Okay~" As he spoke, Jingliu handed the phone to Ningxue.

"Mr. Mingya." Ningxue greeted.

"Ah, Xue, there's something I want you to convey to the government."

"Yes, Mr. Mingya, please go ahead."

"Do you remember the task list we looked at last time, which involved the famous architect Moriya Teiji?"

"Yes."

"Well, that guy called Sengu No. 2 was sent to the police station today, but I don't have much chance to kill him. You should report it to the government directly, and let them handle the matter of life or death. Remember, be quick and contact them immediately after hanging up the phone. Otherwise, it will be too late."

"Yes, I understand."

"Well, there's nothing to do for now, so you should all go to bed early. Come back when Jingliu is done with his work. I need to train you and Yue'er and Shuang'er systematically. Ah, it's not that your abilities are not up to par, but I may need you to cooperate with me in completing tasks in the days ahead."

"Yes!" A voice with a little excitement came into my ears.

"Okay, let's hang up. Good night."

"Yes, good night, Mr. Mingya."

"Hu..." After hanging up the phone, I let out a long breath, and then made another call, this time to Xiaolan. Of course, I have to let Xiaolan know my current situation. After a warm greeting and conversation, we hung up the phone. After all, Xiaolan was also quite frightened by the explosion and needed a good rest. Conan originally called me back, but I didn't answer. Instead, I rejected him with a text message [I don't want to listen to the process of solving the case, I'm going to sleep, good night]. Because I looked at the watch, the time was already three o'clock in the morning. Mary should be almost busy. Just thinking about it, I got out of bed and walked out of my room, heading towards Mary's office.
