Chapter 1866 What can be done to keep this child close to the family?
With neat short black hair and brown eyes, from hair color and eye color to facial contours, they are very similar to the children of the White Wolf family——
Perhaps it is a little softer, a little more refined, and he has inherited some of the characteristics from his mother. But in general, this child does not look too out of place when standing next to his cousins and nephews.
His father's appearance... The appearance of this child's father, the illegitimate son who had never received any care from him... Looking at the young man in front of him, his father's appearance also appeared softly in his long memory...
…
"Old sir, are you listening?"
The memory was suddenly interrupted. [Big Bear] Albery was excited and nodded quickly:
"I'm listening, I'm listening. This treatment is very important to me. Even if there are risks, I will accept the treatment..."
"So, what risks did I just talk about?"
"Well……"
"...I'll say it again." Across the long table, the young man wearing a strange white robe showed helpless eyes, but did not get angry:
"Listen carefully. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me - if you can't guarantee acceptance, then we will wait a little longer and wait until more data is accumulated before discussing the treatment?"
What a gentle child... The old knight lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the admiration in his heart. At a young age, he is already an 18th-level great magician, and he still remains patient with patients——
It's a pity that the more gentle and kind-hearted children are, the less they can rely on their relatives to ask their children to do this or that as a matter of course.
After all, it is the White Wolf family that owes this child, and this child has not owed the family one iota...
"Old sir, did you understand what I just said? Are the risks of surgery acceptable?"
Across the long table, this grandson, whom he had met for the first time, patiently asked again. [Big Bear] Albery recovered from his sigh and quickly answered:
"I understand! I can accept it! - Archmage Nordmark, your caution in treatment has been known to us for a long time. If there is any accident, it will definitely not be your fault..."
In order to show that he really understood, he speeded up his speech and quickly recounted the several risks that Gretel had just stated. Gretel's eyes were solemn, and he listened carefully from beginning to end, nodding lightly:
"Yes, yes, that is indeed the case. - No, your understanding of this place is a bit wrong..."
He is really a very gentle and serious child... If such a child becomes the master of the White Wolf Territory, he will at least work hard to take care of the people in the territory and make their lives much easier...
Shocked to realize that his thoughts were wandering back to the original place, [Big Bear] Albrey shook his head violently. He felt something was wrong halfway through, and quickly fixed his head in place. The force was so strong that his cervical spine almost "crunched"
A sound.
The next moment, he saw Gretel opposite him and raised his eyebrows in disapproval:
"Old sir, for your safety, it's best not to do such violent movements. - You see, there are obvious plaques on your carotid artery. Raising, lowering, or shaking your head too violently can easily cause plaques.
The block ruptured, causing cerebral infarction..."
"Yeah...I know, I will be careful..."
The old knight nodded repeatedly. Then Gretel stretched his eyebrows and showed a smile:
"Okay, if you make sure you understand and accept it, just sign here and take your fingerprints. Then, we can enter the treatment stage... Please lie down on that bed, relax your body, and don't resist..."
There is nothing to say about the entire treatment process. The spell fluctuations are very slight, like a spring breeze blowing leisurely. The only obstacle is Gretel's constant saying:
"Old sir, lie down...Old sir, stay quiet and don't turn your head...Old sir, do you need to keep looking at me? Will this make you feel better? Well, sit up and face
I, keep quiet..."
From the beginning to the end, [Big Bear] Albery did not figure out which part of Gretel's body was being treated every time he cast a spell. He only knew that after the treatment, he felt a lot more relaxed:
"You go for another check-up to confirm the effect of the treatment. If the effect is good, we will start the next treatment after three days."
Grete smiled and made a "please leave" gesture. The old knight stood up slowly, and before retreating to the door, he waved his hand, and a cold long sword appeared on the table.
"Your Excellency, this is for you..."
"Remuneration? Gift of thanks?"
The young man sitting quietly across the long table smiled and shook his head slightly:
"Ah, I don't need this. When you come here, you must have paid enough at the council. As a healer, I will not charge extra thanks..."
Red envelope?
No, just pay the medical expenses in full, and the red envelope is really not necessary...
"This is not a thank you gift, this is..." It is a little thought given by the White Wolf family to the child they have not seen for many years.
After all, there was no chance to say these words. [Big Bear] Albrey stared at the grandson he saw for the first time, put away his sword helplessly, and stepped back step by step.
He retreated from the edge of the treatment bed, retreated to the door, and exited the door frame. The dark brown oak door closed silently in front of him, leaving only Grete's earnest instructions:
"In these three days, be sure to keep a calm mood, eat light meals, rest on time, do not exercise excessively, and do not forcefully try to advance. After the results of the new round of examinations come out, come back to me on the fourth day..."
Will you see the child again in three days?
Then return to the White Wolf Territory and never come back unless the family encounters a catastrophic overthrow?
The old knight stared closely at the door of the treatment room. Seeing the hurried footsteps next to him, a new patient had been brought over. An idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly strode forward and knocked hard:
"Master Nordmark! After all the treatments are completed, I hope to try to advance here. Can you please take care of me?"
There was silence in the treatment room for a moment. After a moment, the door opened with a creak:
"As for the advanced care, we will discuss it after the treatment is completed. It depends on whether I am available by then. Even if I am not available, the council will arrange for experienced therapists to take care of you - don't worry.
Next!"
He raised his voice and shouted. Immediately, a hurried response came from the corridor:
"I'm coming!"
A young therapist in white robes hurriedly led the patient into the room. [Big Bear] Albery stood in a daze at the closed door of the room for a while, sighed, and slowly walked away:
How can I get closer to this child?
Up to now, the family has tried its best to give everything it can, but this child no longer cares...
