Chapter 129: The Abyss Medical Hall

Although he didn't understand why this woman insisted on having her room, he didn't believe she would give up her comfortable villa to come to live with him.

That would be inviting trouble, wouldn't it?

After all, he didn't have a kitchen staff on standby round the clock, nor did he have a gentle and considerate fox maid.

He didn't even have hot water.

The shower drew cold water from an ancient well, and the bathroom wasn't equipped with a bathtub.

Since the room was empty anyway, it was quite a bargain to use it to offset ten thousand coins of rent.

"Which room is yours?" Diana asked.

"The one by the street," Charlotte pointed to the first room.

"Then I'll take that one."

Diana pointed to the room next door and said, "You don't need to buy XX stuff for this room. I'll have Agatha come and decorate it in the afternoon."

"You...aren't planning to move in, are you?"

Charlotte felt that her attitude was somewhat worrisome.

"Who knows? If I'm in a bad mood one day, I'll come and stay for a few days. This room is mine. I'll come and go as I please, right?"

Diana's smile grew wider as she noticed Charlotte's nervousness.

"You're right."

Charlotte sighed inwardly, feeling a sense of being deceived.

Vivian followed them upstairs and heard that Diana had reserved a room. She was equally surprised but more delighted.

"Landlady, if you move in and live with us, will you bring chefs with you?" Vivian asked eagerly.

You are a foodie!

Charlotte's expression couldn't hide his exasperation.

"Not for now," Diana shook her head with a smile.

"Oh," Vivian felt a little disappointed, but her expression quickly brightened again. "It's okay. The boss is a superb cook. It's just...it would be even better if you could buy some meat."

The boss is good at everything, just excessively frugal.

"You can cook too?" Diana was genuinely surprised by the remark.

"Poverty forces one to master useful skills," Charlotte replied calmly.

Before he learned how to make "Gadeggs" for cats and dogs, he used to work in the kitchens of various restaurants, doing prep work, garnishing, and occasionally filling in for the head chef on leave.

His culinary skills weren't exceptional, but he could handle everyday home-cooked dishes.

"I want to taste your cooking next time I come," Diana looked at Charlotte, feeling that she still had a lot to learn about him.

Charlotte took the Shadowless Lamp back to the clinic and installed it in the center of the first operating room.

The mechanical arm was designed by Charlotte, with three sections that could be adjusted in height and moved back and forth. The lens could also be adjusted for angles, meeting most surgical needs.

After playing with the mechanical arm for a while, Charlotte couldn't help but praise Guy's craftsmanship.

The movements of the mechanical arm were smooth enough, and once fixed, it was secure.

Crafted entirely by hand, it had reached an impressive level of skill.

"Boss, what is this?" Vivian stood at the door of the operating room, curious.

"This is the Shadowless Lamp, used for surgical illumination," Charlotte explained as she pressed the mechanical button on the side of the disk.

Ten white crystals lit up simultaneously, illuminating the floor.

Charlotte extended her hand into the light, and there was only a very faint shadow on the ground.

"There is no shadow!" Vivian exclaimed in surprise.

"With sufficient illumination during surgery, it becomes more convenient.

Surgeries require precision, and adequate lighting can prevent mistakes caused by insufficient light," Charlotte explained with a smile, also very satisfied with the performance of the Shadowless Lamp.

"But why doesn't my operating room have one?" Vivian asked in confusion.

The smile disappeared from Charlotte's face, and with a serious tone, she said, "You know that your salary for next month is about to be paid, right?

If you think it's necessary, you can go and add one yourself."

"I see," Vivian pondered, "How much does it cost?"

"It's not expensive, only 6,000 copper coins. If your salary isn't enough, you can even request an advance from me for next month."

"Boss, you're kind. I... I'm touched," Vivian threw herself into his arms, filled with gratitude.

"It's okay, it's what I should do," Charlotte gently patted her back, feeling a twinge of guilt.

Harry was highly efficient. He arranged for all the furniture to be delivered and placed according to Charlotte's requirements within the morning.

With each piece of equipment being brought in, the new clinic took shape.

"Boss, we're still missing a sign in front of our clinic. Can't you give it a fancy name?"

Vivian looked at Charlotte, blinking her big eyes.

"Or maybe we should call it a medical hall?"

"A name, huh?"

Charlotte pondered. He had rejected Diana's proposal for funding, and the clinic didn't even have a name before.

Now that the clinic was reopening, it had been upgraded, and turning it into a medical hall wouldn't be a problem.

"Then let's call it the Abyss Medical Hall," Charlotte smiled.

The Abyss Medical Hall, for everyone in the depths.
