Chapter 3849 Rum’s needs
Five minutes later, Rum brought a pot of English black tea to the table, followed by the tea room and brought milk, sugar, lemon slices, honey and other ingredients, and placed them one by one on the coffee table.
Chi Feichi took the initiative to invite Rum to sit down and have tea. He let go of the fingers pressing the pinhole of Hiroki Sawada's arm, and uncovered the cotton ball. Seeing that the pinhole of Hiroki Sawada's arm was no longer bleeding, he threw the cotton ball stained with a small amount of blood into the trash can.
Rum poured two cups of tea, put one cup in front of Chi Feichi, and put another cup in front of him. While adding lemon slices to the cup, he chatted with Chi Feichi, "When you drink tea, you rarely add things to the tea..."
"I think even if you don't add anything, the taste of the tea is worth savoring," Chi Feichi poured a cup of milk with an empty cup, handed the milk to Hiroki Sawada, reached out to find the temperature of the tea cup in front of him, confirmed that the temperature was moderate, picked up the cup, and took a sip of tea. "For example, the pot of tea you made has a plant aroma similar to mint, lily of the valley, and the taste is mellow, and it tastes bitterer than most black teas, but the sweetness after the bitterness is also obvious. With the bright orange-red soup color, and the golden aperture on the soup noodles, this should be the top-quality uba tea produced from the Ceylon Highlands..."
"I wouldn't have rushed to add lemon slices, so that I could taste the original taste of the tea." Rum said with emotion, and still picked up the black tea with lemon slices in front of him and took a sip of the tea slowly.
Chi Feichi was not interested in comparing everyone's habits and preferences. When he saw Rum drinking tea, he seemed to be thinking about something. He became more and more convinced that Rum had something to tell him, put down the teacup, and said straight to the point, "We have not been in contact once or twice. You should know that sometimes I speak very directly. If you have something to talk to me, you might as well say it directly."
"Since you said that..." Rum put the teacup back on the tea table, and then continued with a serious expression, "Then I will just say it. Some time ago, I followed the instructions of that person and sent someone to investigate the situation of Young Master Xiaoshu. After the two people sent out for the first time lost contact, I noticed the two people around Young Master Xiaoshu."
"Cecilia and Xia Zuo?" Chi Feichi said.
"That's right," Rum looked at the young child Hiroki Sawada. "If the information I got was not wrong, the man named Xia Zuo was once an employee of a well-known American security employment company. He was in a car accident during his mission, and one leg left an incurable sequelae. Then he retreated to the second line and resigned from the company two years later. The woman named Cecilia, her personal information also matched a retired underground boxer. However, as far as I know, the underground boxer, who was also named Cecilia, had an explosion accident a few years ago, suffered severe burns all over his body, deaf ears, and burned one eye. However, Cecilia, who was following Young Master Xiaoshu, seemed to have not been injured. I thought, would she be twin sisters with that underground boxer, and would be just like the two of them? But combined with Xia Zuo's situation, I felt that things were not that simple..."
On the side, Hiroki Sawada held a cup to drink milk, suddenly connected to the satellite signal, and sighed calmly, "They're so eye-catching, and it's really easy to be investigated."
Seeing that Hiroki Sawada's eyes became less like a child, Rum remembered the scene when he saw Hiroki Chi in Hyde Park, London, and felt a little emotional. He quickly regained his thoughts and asked Hiroki Sawada to verify, "So, are they really the two people I investigated?"
"That's right," Chi Feichi gave a positive answer, "The information you investigated is correct."
"If the information I investigated was correct, the two of them...especially Cecilia, her injuries should not be so easy to heal. Even if she obtained the world's top medical resources, it would not be like she has never been injured." Rum's eyes flashed, and his eyes soon became deeper with thoughts. "This is what I can't understand. Could it be that they pretended to be injured to deceive the outside world in order to achieve a certain purpose?"
Chi Feichi saw that Rum's focus was on "injury" and "treatment". When he saw the prosthetic eye in Rum's eyes that was lifelike and could not have a normal spirit, he could not know why Rum talked about this. "They seemed to have suffered serious injuries before, but they pretended to be injured to achieve the purpose of action... If I were facing outsiders, I would definitely say this, and they explained it to the outside world.
Rum had just felt a little disappointed, and before he could even laugh at himself, "It turns out that I'm thinking too much," he heard Chi Feichi's words turn, and was surprised, and raised his eyes and put his eyes on Chi Feichi.
"But you are not an outsider, and I don't want to deceive you," Chi Feichi looked at Rum directly, his eyes calmed without any slightest wave. "They two have indeed suffered serious injuries and were cured later."
"So that's it..." Rum nodded, it was really difficult to tell the emotions and thoughts from Chi Feichi's eyes. He didn't look at Chi Feichi anymore, picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Did Umbrella provide them with medical help?"
Chi Feichi nodded and confirmed, "Yes."
"It's really incredible," Rum said with a serious expression. "I mean Umbrella's medical technology... I've seen the report of Xia Zuo when he was undergoing rehabilitation treatment in the hospital. It mentioned above that the nerves of his hands and feet were damaged have begun to shrink. The doctor seemed to think that his condition would get worse and worse. He could only try to slow down the speed of nerve atrophy as much as possible. There was no way to cure it. Cecilia's treatment report also mentioned that although her burned skin can be treated with skin graft surgery, there is almost no possibility of recovery in her hearing. Her eyes burned by boiling smoke cannot recover from health. She can only live with a state of visual damage in the future... I didn't expect that the injuries of the two of them could recover as before."
"Umbrella's medical technology is indeed much better than the outside world," Chi Feichi also picked up the cup and drank tea, looked at Rum's prosthetic eyes, and asked directly, "Do you want to treat your eyes?"
Rum didn't expect Chi Feichi to ask so directly. His body was stiff for a moment. After being surprised, he smiled helplessly and reached out to touch his prosthetic eye. "You are really direct in your words... Frankly speaking, my eye has been injured for many years. Now, the nerves in the eye have long been shrinking and necrotic. Even if the eyeball can be transplanted, it can effectively control the rejection reaction after the transplant, my eyes no longer have the conditions for transplantation. So, I didn't have that kind of hope in the early years... Having said that, after discovering that Xia Zuo's nerve damage was cured, Cecilia's eye burns and hearing loss could be cured, I still couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in my heart, which made me unable to help but think that if medical technology continues to develop like this, one day in the future, will my eyes be cured..."
Chi Feichi could see that what Rum was saying was the truth.
Rum's mentality now is indeed like: he doesn't think his eyes can be cured, but he finds that medical technology has developed to a point that surprised me, and he has an uncontrollable illusion.
Just like those who are terminally ill, they know in their heart that the disease they are suffering from is difficult to cure at present, and they feel that they should not wait for the day the disease can be cured. However, when they find that medical technology in other fields has made major breakthroughs, they still can't help but pay attention and understand that if the breakthrough field is related to their condition, they will shake deep in their hearts and start to question their previous thoughts: Is there really no hope for curing my disease? At the speed of development of this medical technology, should I be more optimistic? Should I adjust my opinion? Or should I not expect or fantasize like I am now?
Rum's reaction today is a true portrayal of this contradictory mentality - while confirming the news to him, understanding the situation, and showing a strong interest in these messages, he also felt that his situation was more complicated and difficult to cure. He did not want to have hope, so he let reason hold that little expectation in his heart. Therefore, after learning that Shazo and Cecilia's injury were cured, Rum did not show any special joy and urgency.

Rum has been injured in his eyes for so many years, and he thought Rum had lost the intention of healing.
