Doflamingo, who was sitting in front of Gawain and listening to Gawain talk about his parents' past, lay down on his sofa with a sullen face.
He raised his eyes and looked up at the sky. Through his sunglasses, he looked at the sun on the horizon that was becoming more dazzling as the clouds dispersed.
While watching, Brother Ming felt tightness in his chest.
It seemed that...the right arm that I had just reattached was still aching.
In a daze, Brother Ming felt vaguely that the pain was not limited to his right arm.
Left hand, chest, lower back, neck...
Especially...the head!!!
Once upon a time, I was also a person surrounded by pain...
…
…
…
"Rubbish!"
"Looking at how careless he is, he must be a damn second-rate even if he hasn't been kicked out by Marigio!"
"Hell, get away!"
"Get away!"
"Hey, what about you, trash, get away!"
"Don't bring your bad luck to my store!"
"Take your brother and get as far away as you can!"
"Why don't you die!!!"
Accompanied by countless scoldings and curses, Brother Ming and his younger brother fled from the nearby commercial street in embarrassment.
Holding his brother's hand, Brother Ming lowered his head, covering up the corners of his mouth that he clenched tightly, while squinting at the garbage in the distance who looked at them like evil ghosts!
As if noticing his brother's eyes, Rosinandi worriedly grabbed Brother Ming's hand and squeezed it gently. Rosinandi sighed and said.
"Brother, don't look at it. They don't like our identity, and it's not like we don't know it.
Let’s… let’s try to change some places to continue buying medicine!”
"Change place?!!"
Hearing his brother's words, Brother Ming gritted his teeth and threw Rosinandi's hand away.
He took his left hand and dug into his trouser pocket. After taking out half of the cigarette butt he had picked up, he bit the cigarette butt hard in his mouth.
Angrily lighting the cigarette butt, Brother Ming reluctantly took it out with his right hand in his right pocket.
It wasn't until he took out all the change that Brother Ming said through gritted teeth.
"Those pieces of rubbish, didn't I already bring money with me? Why don't you even want to sell me the damn medicine even though you have money?
We have been to three pharmacies and the guys refused to accept us as soon as they saw our faces!
The three are all like this, so what difference can there be in the rest? Where do you think we should buy medicine, where should we go!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Ming quickly took off his dirty sunglasses and wiped his eyes hard.
After putting on his sunglasses again, Brother Ming put on his fierce look again and grabbed his younger brother's hand.
"Don't think so much. Even if those rubbish guys still refuse to sell us things, we have to try one by one. Mom is still lying in bed. She is very ill. She is waiting for us to come back!!!
The money in my pocket is already my last hope!!!"
After saying that, Ming Ge pulled up Rosinandi, who was so sad that he was weak, and continued to rush towards the other remaining medical clinics.
One family after another...
I don’t know how many pharmacies I searched for, and I don’t know how many people cursed me fiercely.
Brother Ming and Rosinandi were finally received by a good man.
The door of that man's medical clinic was originally closed, but after Brother Ming and his brothers forcibly opened the door, he looked at Brother Ming with an expression that he didn't quite understand.
Facing the last hope, even with Brother Ming's fierce character, it was inevitable that he would have a slightly better attitude toward the doctor.
"Hey, you are a doctor, right?
I need painkillers, my mom is very sick, but we only have enough money to buy painkillers!
No matter what, sell the medicine to us quickly, or believe it or not, I will kill you!
All I need is pain relief, even if it can make my mother relax for just one night!
She hasn’t been able to sleep for a long time, bastard!!!”
After yelling to this point, Brother Ming lowered his head stubbornly and refused to look at the doctor's eyes again.
But his hand was holding a handful of change at this time, raised high in front of him.
After a brief silence, the doctor opposite seemed to know the identities of Brother Ming and the two of them. He thought for a moment, then raised his chin and said.
"So that's it. Well, since I have children your age, I will reluctantly sell you a little!
But we told you in advance that you have too little money to buy anything.
Anyway, I'm going to give you the medicine right now. I can't say whether it's good or not, and I haven't seen the patient.
By the way, you can't say outside that I gave you medicine, otherwise you will be scolded by your peers, you little brat!"
After saying that, the doctor turned around to get painkillers.
On the opposite side, after hearing the doctor's words, Brother Ming raised his head in disbelief.
Beside him, Rocinante's eyes were filled with tears for a moment.
They really didn’t expect that after being rejected by more than 20 pharmacies in a row, they could actually buy medicines!
This sense of unreality lingered in their hearts until the two of them walked onto the street holding a small bag of medicines!
In short, at this moment, Rosinandi deeply remembered the pharmacy in front of him and the doctor in it.
And Brother Ming…….
He didn't know anything else, he only knew that he finally brought back medicine for his mother that could at least last one more night!
That's all he knows!
…
…
…
Don Quixote·Huo Minggujia.
Ming Ge's mother was lying on the bed, using the strength she had just taken from the medicine to barely look at her two sons.
Noticing the look in his mother's eyes, Brother Ming flicked the butt of his cigarette disdainfully and snorted with a grin.
"Hey, where's dad? While you were lying at home, where were the others?
Have you not found a place to work, or are you still unable to make money to support your family?
If he is always so incompetent, then mom, you have no reason to stop me from stealing!!!"
After the words fell, Brother Ming threw the cigarette butt aside.
Then, he rubbed his clothes unhappily.
After trying his best to straighten the wrinkled dirty clothes, Brother Ming continued to speak to his mother.
"Obviously everyone here doesn't regard us as one of them!
Even though my cowardly dad tried his best to plead with them, they still didn't accept our family!
In this case, huh, don't say they are all a group of untouchables, just talk about their attitude towards our family, they are already our enemies!
Facing the enemy, can't I just steal some money from them to make our life better?
That’s the enemy’s money, they are all enemies of our family!!!”
"Dover!"
At this moment, the mother tried her best to sit up from the bed. She raised her hand and pressed her right hand, which should have been as beautiful as the bright moon, but was now as thin as a withered bone, on Dover's head.
While gently rubbing Dover's blond hair, her mother tried her best to show a bright smile, and then she said to Dover seriously.
"Don't hurt anyone, Dover, even if they don't accept us, they just don't want to be our friends.
That doesn’t mean they are our enemies…cough…enemy…enemy…cough cough cough cough cough!!!”
Before she finished speaking, her mother couldn't stop coughing. She covered her chest sadly and quietly covered her mouth with her other hand.
She lowered her head and carefully glanced at the palm of her hand. After seeing the blood red, her mother quietly hid her hand between the quilts.
Then, the mother smiled tenderly and continued to speak to Dover.
"I'm sorry, I'm...somewhat unwell, and I've become a burden to you."
"No, mother!!!"
Dover quickly stopped his mother's words. He threw himself on his mother's lap worriedly, biting his lips and asked his mother.
"Why are you still coughing so badly? Haven't you already taken medicine?
Is it because the medicine is not easy to use? Is it because the doctor lied to me!!!
Damn, he really deserves to die, he..."
"Dover!!!"
At this moment, my mother rarely showed a little bit of anger. She put on a serious face and said to Dover.
"Mom...Mom's disease...can no longer be cured by simple medicine.
The medicine you brought back... is very effective, but my mother's body... is not up to par.
In short, we should not complain to our benefactors. No matter any kindness, we must cherish it and repay it.
If you want to make your mother happy, then...then stop saying anything about enemies, okay?
Even if my mother dies, she won’t have any enemies. Don’t you always say that your mother is so kind?
But a mother who has enemies is not kind. Could it be that you have been lying to your mother all this time?"
Having said this, the mother reached out her hands and hugged Dover gently, but at this moment, Dover could clearly see the blood hidden in the palm of his mother's right hand!
For a moment, Dover's eyes hidden under his sunglasses turned completely red!
He knew why in a city where no one would accept them, any damn doctor would show sympathy to them!
That damn doctor didn't sell him the medicine at all, he just defrauded him of his money, that must be it!
Otherwise, why would my mother not feel any sign of comfort even after buying the medicine?
Why!!!
For a time, hatred filled Dover's heart, but Dover didn't know it.
When a person has hatred, even the space left for sadness in his heart will become narrow.
…
Click!
While Dover was immersed in his hatred for the doctor, their door was suddenly pushed open!
Dover turned his head in a daze and hatred, and saw his father at a glance!
Seeing his two sons surrounding his lover's bedside, Huo Minggu, who was full of pressure, managed to show a helpless smile.
While smiling bitterly, he took out a paper bag from his tattered coat that was slightly wrinkled but generally well-preserved.
Putting the bag on the bed, Huo Minggu sighed instinctively, and then insisted on smiling at his family.
"I'm really sorry. I still haven't been able to find a job. I didn't learn any skills when I was in Mariegio. It's really useless when I think about it..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Minggu opened the paper bag and handed the two pieces of bread that were still warm inside into the hands of his lover and child.
Mother and Rosinand took the bread seriously, but Dover...he threw the bread onto mother's bed!
"It's just such a small amount of food. It's not as much as what I "borrowed" from a nearby store. My mother's throat is very sore. She can't eat such hard food, Dad!
Why don't you understand? If you are tougher, you can cure your mother's illness and make us live a better life!
It's better to be a little tougher!
you you……!"
"Stop it, Dover!!!"
Listening to the eldest son's resentful words, Huo Minggu finally couldn't hold it any longer!
It has been two full years since I left Mariejoia. In these two years, the freedom and ordinary life I dreamed of has not come to me!
Once upon a time, when I passed by those civilians, those civilians would always kneel down to me!
I enthusiastically exempted them from kneeling down, and I gave them dignity and personality. I clearly gave them so much.
And they all surrounded him two years ago, thanking him for his kindness and praising his love!
In order to be worthy of their praise, he even gave up his past life and chose to live like the citizens!
But after he took the initiative to give up his identity as a Tianlong.
Those who have been around me and said good things to me...
They will never come close to you again!!!
In order to get away from Marie Joa, he donated all his property to the family!
As a result, after leaving Marie Joa, those who once talked about the great Huo Ming Ancient Saint did not even give themselves a decent job!
I... I persisted for two full years, and all I got in exchange was a thin son and my lover lying on the hospital bed...
I... can't seem to hold on anymore!
Thinking of this, Ancient Sage Huo Ming raised his head with difficulty and looked at his eldest son's ferocious eyes hidden under his sunglasses.
Facing Dover's gaze, Huo Minggu gritted his teeth and spoke word by word!
"Don't always use hateful and tough words in your mouth!
That's not something you, a child, should chase!
Everyone is not wrong, it’s just me who is wrong!
After all, no matter how hard I try, I have hurt many people with my identity as a Celestial Dragon!
Everyone around us has been hurt by us. Is there no reason for them to hate us?
All their money is dedicated to the country and used to hand over heavenly gold!
Their sons are recruited at every turn and forced to become navy and CP!
If they are not careful, their lover and daughter will be snatched away by the Celestial Dragons!
They lived that kind of life, so they hate and hate us for having that kind of past, and they are not wrong!
It was always wrong, it was just me!!!"
After the words fell, Huo Minggu stood up, and then he buttoned up his buttons with great seriousness.
After adjusting the hem of his coat, Huo Minggu took a deep breath and spoke seriously to his family.
"Everything is my fault. I naively thought that my giving up would be enough to repay my debt to the common people.
But it turns out that my naivety... got us into the predicament we are in today!
No matter what, I already know I was wrong, for you, for... madam's illness...
I will bow to the compatriots of Marie Joa!!!
I have decided that I want to go back to Mariejoia, and I want to take back my past identity!
Only in that way can Madam's disease receive better treatment conditions!!!
So, let’s do it now, before it’s too late!
Now I will take you back to Mariejoia!!!"
After saying that, Huo Minggu looked at his wife seriously, while Ming Ge's mother asked Huo Minggu worriedly after a brief surprise.
"Master, can we...really be able to return to Marigioa?
Or...they can really still accept us..."
"etc!"
Suddenly, Dover interrupted his mother's words.
Facing the father who considered returning to Mary Jojo as his last hope, Dover yelled in shock and unwillingness!
"Can a mother's body really keep walking such a long way?
There are no cars or slaves to carry us now. If we want to go to Mariegio, we have to at least walk through Shampoo. But can mother's body really go that far?
And...Father!!!
Now that you have made your choice, why are you so cowardly?
Why don’t you, who have placed your hopes on MaryJoy, work harder in today’s world!!!
Why should we admit our mistake to Mary Gioia? Why should we admit defeat to them!
I have long said that we can steal and rob, as long as we are more ferocious than we are now, we will have 10,000 ways to support ourselves!!!
They will never be afraid of us who are cowardly, why don’t you understand!
If we become fierce, then even if we are no longer Celestial Dragons, we can still find someone to treat our mother's illness!
As long as we are fierce enough, as long as we are worthy of their fear!
Even if we are not Tianlong people, they will still kneel in front of us!!!
