Sean said frankly, "Don't you just want money? I'll give it to you now. But I don't want your service. You can leave now if you want. Or you can stay with me for the night if you have nowhere else to go."Yvonne's eyes watered slightly at Sean's words.She had no idea why she had the impulse to cry. She felt her heart had been hardened and chilled by life.However, she now had the urge to burst into tears."Well... Where shall I sleep?"Yvonne asked hesitantly."You can have the bed. I'll sleep on the sofa."Sean said immediately."I'll sleep on the couch."Yvonne said after a moment.She was embarrassed enough to crash into someone's room. It would have been shameless of her to take the bed and let him sleep on the sofa.Sean said nothing more. There was not much difference between a sofa and a bed anyway. The hotel's sofa was huge and soft. It was no worse than a bed.Sean took a quilt out of the cupboard and gave it to Yvonne. Then he watched Yvonne fall asleep on the so
The next morning.The sun rose, and the golden sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the sofa.Yvonne was sound asleep.Yvonne woke up when she felt a sudden pat on the head and saw Sean standing before her."It's time to get up."Sean said calmly.Yvonne blushed as she realized how soundly she had slept. It was probably the best night's sleep she had since her father's death.She was sharing a room with a stranger. How could she sleep so soundly? It was inappropriate.Yvonne quickly got up from the couch and asked sheepishly, "May... May I use the bathroom? I also want to take a bath.""Okay."Sean nodded.Yvonne was elated. She hurriedly ran to the bathroom, and the sound of running water came from the bathroom.Sean sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and ordered a set of breakfast.He had already washed up, so there was no need to fight Yvonne for the bathroom, which would have made her even more embarrassed.Yvonne came out of the bathroom after about 20 mi
"It's almost 8 a.m."Shania said with a chuckle before looking curiously at Sean and Yvonne.Sean was alone last night, but a woman appeared in his room out of the blue, and Shania could not help feeling curious."Commander Lennon, she's..."Shania asked, looking at Yvonne.Sean did not know how to explain it for a moment, but he quickly said, "She needs help."He managed to brush it off with that vague sentence."Ms. Lewis, would you like to come to the slums with me?"Sean asked."Of... Of course..."Hearing Sean's question, Shania did not hesitate, even though she was confused.Uriah stopped them by saying, "No, the slums in the west are lawless. You might get into danger if you go there."Shania said with a chuckle, "What danger would I get into with you and Commander Lennon around?"Shania had already said so, and Uriah could not stop her because to stop her would be a denial of his skills.Sean paid for the hotel rooms and headed to the slum on the west with Shania
Sean quickened his pace to catch up, and Shania and Uriah could only do the same after glancing at each other.Yvonne's house was in front of him.Yvonne's home looked like it had a lot of history. Due to its age, the cement was starting to fall off, and cracks were everywhere.If it were in the city, such a house would be condemned, and people would not be allowed to live in it.However, such a house seemed to make sense here.Sean set foot in Yvonne's house without hesitation.Yvonne's home was cramped and dark. Although there was a light bulb from a wire hanging from the ceiling, the dim light could not dispel the gloom in the room.Besides that, the room was damp with a strange musty smell that made Uriah frown."Dad, I've brought my friends."Yvonne said excitedly, helping her father out of bed.Sean looked over to see that Yvonne's father had a rugged face and an unshaven chin. He was about 40 years old, but he looked like he was 50 or 60 years old.Besides that, Yvonn
"I... I really don't know..."Yvonne stuck out her tongue.Sean did not waste time as he looked at Yvonne's father's left arm and said, "Hold out your arm to me. I'm a doctor. Maybe I can treat it.""Really?"Yvonne's father was surprised, but he then showed a sad expression.So what if the person in front of him was capable of treating his injury?He did not have money to afford the medical bills!Seemingly sensing Yvonne's father's frustration, Sean smiled and said, "Don't worry. I won't charge you. I treat people as a hobby."'A hobby?'Is such a hobby exists?'With question marks filling his head, Yvonne's father extended his arm and placed it before Sean.Sean pulled up the sleeve of Yvonne's father's shirt and frowned.Yvonne's father's arm was broken by a rock in the coal mine, not by a sword, so his wounds were complicated. It looked like ripped cotton fiber.A wound like that was difficult to treat.On top of that, Yvonne's father's broken arm had begun to fester
Zander was not surprised that Sean had to amputate.When he followed Sean to war, he would often encounter comrades who had their arms or legs ruined by bombs.In the absence of field doctors, it was difficult to preserve the soldiers' lives.Sean had no choice but to treat the soldiers himself to save them. Over time, Sean became skilled at amputation.Although his amputation skills were simple and crude, the results were always surprisingly good. Besides that, the time required was short—about 20% or even 10% of the time required for amputations performed by professional doctors.What seemed strange to Zander was that Sean would come to the slum to perform an amputation on such a poor man who could not afford a doctor.Though he found it strange, Zander said nothing. As soon as he got in front of Sean, he placed the medical kit on the ground, opened it, and quickly lit an alcohol burner for Sean.Sean held a bright dagger in his hand.It was not a scalpel but a military dagge
"Yvonne, what's going on?""What are you doing? Why did you let your father stay in the yard when he's so badly hurt?""Yvonne, who are these people? Are they doctors you hired? Why aren't they wearing white coats?"Such questions from passersby came one after another.Usually, Yvonne would probably have explained everything to them, but she was not in the mood.A man with a sharp jaw sneered suddenly. "I think they're trying to amputate Bob’s arm. Hehe. The conditions here are so dirty, yet they're trying to amputate. They might as well just kill him!"Hearing this, several people who were usually close to Bob instantly looked tense.They quickly shouted to Yvonne and asked Yvonne to stop Sean and the rest."Yvonne, what are you doing? Stop them!""Your father will die instantly if they operate on him here!""Do you want to kill your father?"Hearing the neighbors' dissuasion, Yvonne was frustrated.She was running out of ideas.Bob's mind was also all over the place. He
Therefore, Yvonne's mother thought Sean or Zander was Yvonne's client.They accepted Yvonne's request to come over and treat her father because Yvonne provided them with great service.Zander and Uriah were confused about Yvonne's mother's conversation with Yvonne. Shania vaguely figured out something but was afraid to say it.The atmosphere was awkward for a moment.Yvonne blushed profusely. She shook her head repeatedly. "Mom, it's not what you think. I don't have that kind of relationship with Commander Lennon. Even if I like him, there's no way he'll like me..."Just then, Sean's voice rang suddenly,"Are you guys done? Get out of the way if you are!"Sean's emphasis on his tone exuded an intense impatience.Yvonne's mother was still worried, but she instantly lost the courage to stand before Sean and moved sideways to make room when Sean looked at her.Sean stood in front of Bob with a hot dagger in his hand."The wound where you broke your arm is rotten. To put it blunt
