"water……"
Gulu gulu——
Taking a sip of water subconsciously, Duke slowly woke up, his vision still a little blurry.
"Where is this..."
"Master, we are at Liming Hospital."
Alyssa, who was dressed in a black and white maid uniform, took the water glass with one hand and a hot towel with the other hand to gently wipe the sweat from Duke's forehead.
"I'm alive……"
Duke still didn't react.
He remembered that after he came out of the Deathclaw and jumped out of the truck, his head was so dizzy that he knew he couldn't close his eyes, but he couldn't hold on and finally fell asleep.
Duke thought he would eventually die, but now it seems that he is still alive?
"Of course, Master, you are fine."
Alyssa said softly.
"I'm really alive! Was it Alyssa who brought me back yesterday?"
Duke was a little excited.
"Officer Richard and I brought you back, but that was already three days ago."
"Officer Richard? Three days ago?"
Duke was stunned. He thought it was yesterday. He was in a coma for three days?
"The thing is like this..."
After Alyssa's explanation, Duke suddenly understood.
Three nights ago, after he and Matthew went out, he didn't come back until very late. Moreover, before leaving, he told Alyssa that he would be back soon.
Alyssa was a little worried that something had happened to Duke when she couldn't see anyone. While waiting, she heard a dull explosion, and many police patrol cars appeared downstairs.
The direction the police patrol car drove was exactly the direction Matthew left with Duke, and it was also the direction where the explosion sounded.
Alyssa didn't know if the two things were related, but she stopped a police car with the mentality that she would rather kill by mistake than let it go.
When she explained to the officer in the police car that a Viscount might be in danger, the stopped officer Richard immediately calmed down and took Alyssa to the scene of the incident himself.
By the time they arrived at the Bloody Hand Club, the fighting had long ended, and the police officers were understanding the case and dealing with the wounded.
Alyssa and Officer Richard began to look for Duke, but they searched around and found nothing.
So Officer Richard began to take Alyssa to search in the city. Not only them, but other police cars were searching. It was lucky that Officer Richard's car happened to be the one transporting the Death Claw.
The road traveled by the truck.
Far away, Alyssa discovered Duke huddled in the corner. Officer Richard and Alyssa carried Duke into a police car and sent him to Dawn Hospital, the largest hospital in the City of Dawn.
Although Duke has been in a coma, his life is not in danger. He slept like this for three days and only woke up today.
"So that's it... By the way, you said the doctor checked that my life was not in danger?"
Duke is incredible.
At that time, he felt like he was going to die, as if he would never wake up again if he closed his eyes. How could his life not be in danger?
"Yes, this...it does sound a bit strange..."
Alyssa also had doubts in her eyes.
"When I sent you back, the amount of radiation in your body had exceeded the warning level. The doctors thought that you might be in danger, so they could only try their best. Even though Officer Richard and I had carried out certain isolation and treatment,
But I didn’t expect that just one day later, the amount of radiation on your body was halved, and another day later, it disappeared! The doctor is currently sure that the treatment is effective, or there are other reasons..."
"ah?"
After listening to Alyssa's explanation, Duke was a little confused. Such an experience was something he had never expected.
He thought he was healed.
But no matter what the reason is, it’s okay to be alive now.
"By the way, do I have any physical sequelae..."
Duke asked quickly.
"No, the doctor just said that you have exhausted too much energy and are very weak now. You need to supplement your nutrition. Apart from that, there are no other problems. Of course, they can't guarantee it. They said that you need to observe it for a period of time."
Alyssa explained.
"Huh - that's good, that's good!"
If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later!
Duke couldn't help but think.
"Alyssa, thank you very much. If it weren't for you and Officer Charlie, maybe I would be dead..."
Duke looked at Alyssa and expressed his gratitude seriously.
Alyssa lowered her eyes slightly.
"Master, this is what I should do. Are you hungry? I'll get you dinner."
Seeing Alyssa retreat, Duke shook his head helplessly.
This little maid made him feel like a cat.
He walks silently and has no expression on his face. He seems aloof, but he is actually very considerate.
Soon, Alyssa walked in carrying a dinner plate.
It's bacon, vegetables, rice, and a bowl of clear soup.
Duke was still a little weak and wanted to get up, but was unable to do so. Alyssa saw this and said warmly:
"Master, let me feed you."
"Uh...okay."
Duke didn't refuse. He was now weak and had no strength.
Maybe this is a sequelae.
"Hmm...huh? Where did you buy this rice? It's much better than the one in the family."
Duke asked curiously after taking a bite.
"I did it."
Alyssa whispered.
"Ah? So powerful!"
Duke was a little surprised, and then said quickly:
"Then the cooking task will be left to you from now on. Don't worry, I'll give you a salary increase!"
What he said was not a compliment. After all, after staying in the Elvis family for a few days, Alyssa cooked the same food better than the so-called chef in the family, which was definitely amazing.
"Um."
Alyssa hummed and agreed.
"By the way, where is my backpack?"
Duke suddenly remembered that when he was escaping, he seemed to have taken away someone else's backpack. Could it have been left among the Death Claw corpses...
"Is this it?"
Alyssa put down the bowl and took out a backpack from the foot of the bed.
"Yes, that's it. What's in this backpack?"
Duke was walking in a hurry and didn't have time to look at the contents of his backpack.
But since it was used to trade Death Claws, it must be something valuable. For Duke, it would be best if it was in cash. What he lacks most now is money.
"I don't know, I haven't opened it yet."
Alyssa handed the bag over.
"Then open it for me."
Duke was a little surprised, but he quickly said.
Alyssa didn't hesitate, and after opening a few locks, revealed the contents inside.
"What's this?"
Looking at the cylindrical object in the bag that looked like a water glass, both Duke and Alyssa were a little confused.
Chapter completed!
