Chapter Thirty-Four The Viscountess's Illness
In Dr. Condon's clinic, Lu Yuan and Su Mei were tasting warm black tea with sugar while listening to Dr. Condon's story.
"This is how it is." Dr. Conton took a sip of black tea himself and calmed down. "On September 4th, at noon yesterday, I received an invitation from Butler David to come to Viscountess's residence to see the Viscountess."
"Actually, my medical skills are not very good, I actually know them myself." Dr. Condon sighed and said with some annoyance: "But I am very good at treating common diseases, and because of my connections and identity, I serve those noble nobles most of the time."
"The medical skills of those nobles are second to the level of medical skills. The most important thing is to be honest and trustworthy, be cautious in words and actions."
"After all, many nobles have some hidden secrets, and these hidden secrets must be exposed to doctors. The most important thing for a competent doctor is to be able to keep secrets for their patients."
Dr. Condon said this, then looked at Lu Yuan: "This is why I said that before."
"Because I think keeping the condition and secrets for patients is part of my medical ethics."
Lu Yuan nodded: "I can understand and respect this, but I can't treat it as usual at this time."
"Yes." Dr. Condon nodded and said, "So, let me tell you what I saw yesterday."
"At the invitation of Butler David, I took a carriage to Viscount Draenei's house. The Viscountess did not receive me in the living room as usual. Butler David said that the Viscountess is now in his bedroom and asked me to go to the bedroom to diagnose and examine the Viscountess."
"I thought it might be a bit inconvenient."
"But But Butler David said that this was the Viscountess's meaning, so I could only obey and immediately came to the bedroom."
"At that time, I was the only one who went in, and there was a very strange smell in the bedroom. The Viscountess was wrapped in a thick cloak. She asked me to swear in my reputation that she would not reveal her illness."
"And this is exactly my principle as a doctor, so I swear very decisively to agree to this matter."
Lu Yuan looked at Su Mei and then sighed.
Didn't say anything.
"And after I swore, the Viscountess took off her cloak. At this time, I realized that the Viscountess, who was so beautiful and charming in the past, was now turned into this way, almost every young Beckland nobleman's dream lover."
"What does it look like?" Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"Oh." Dr. Condon sighed: "That is a strange disease that I have never seen before."
"The originally beautiful and charming cheeks of the Viscountess were occupied by lumps of varying sizes. The lump was not a congested red, nor was it a common inflammation similar to abscess blisters, but shone with the brilliance of ore, and even the touch became hard and sharp, not like something that could grow from a human body." Dr. Condon described this, and Lu Yuan and Su Mei had a real chilling feeling.
Because they have really become gemstones, but at that time they were already the complete body of gemstones, and the Viscountess at this time sounded like she was in her growth period.
If you want to say this, can the Gem Man really be divided into different levels?
For example, in the growth stage, the maturity stage, the complete body, and even the ultimate body, if this is true, the brain will seem a bit big.
And just listening to these descriptions, I felt a chill coming from my heart.
"As for those where the lumps have not grown, the skin collapses and shrivels, and even shows a slowly melting trend, and the dark red body fluids are permeated. Those strange and unpleasant smells are emitted from those body fluids."
"I never expected that the Viscountess, who was beautiful a few days ago, suddenly became like this. I also understood why the Viscountess was unwilling to leave the bedroom, and why did I promise to let me treat it after swearing."
"It's a pity." Dr. Condon sighed more and more: "My ordinary medical skills are not able to treat this unprecedented strange disease. I can only give the Viscountess some comfort than nothing, and prescribe him some granules and mint plasters to help the Viscountess relieve the pain."
"Even if I know, what I did would not help the Viscountess."
The saddest thing for doctors in this world is probably because they are powerless to face the patient's illness.
"You are a good doctor." Lu Yuanli looked at Dr. Conton and said, "We understand all the situations you mentioned. Thank you for your cooperation. If there is any further news from the Viscountess, we will notify you as soon as possible."
As he said this, Lu Yuan and Su Mei bowed to Dr. Condon and left the clinic with Dr. Condon's help.
After walking out of the clinic and returning to the thick fog in Beckland, Lu Yuan let out a long breath.
"In fact, I'm not happy at all because of our initial speculation." Lu Yuan said.
"Yes." Su Mei replied softly: "Such death is really a sad and desperate way."
"Doctor Condon is also a good person." Lu Yuan shook his head and sighed: "Even if he is a useless good person."
"We seem to have more information now, but it seems we don't have much."
"By the way, what time is it now?" Lu Yuan asked.
Su Mei took out her pocket watch and took a look: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon."
"Is it three o'clock?" Lu Yuanban thought for a while: "I feel that time may be enough."
"What's enough?" Su Mei asked.
"Just go to Mary and ask for the whereabouts of sapphire." Lu Yuan said.
"Is it so urgent?" Su Mei asked.
"Yes, I always feel that our time is racing against time." Lu Yuan said: "There is no good way to deal with Officer Jones. Even if we say that if we take the gem, we will become a gem man, or something like that, he will never believe it, and will only think that we are talking nonsense."
"And when he really becomes a gem man, it will be too late for us to say anything."
"So, I suggest going to Mary right away and let her tell us about the origin of the sapphire."
"Even if that's really a secret."
"Then we have the right to know this secret now."
"Yes." Su Mei nodded.
Then the two of them looked for a public carriage near the clinic. Because Viscount Draenei's house is adjacent to Hyde Park, it is very easy to find, so the price is determined without much description.
