Chapter 137: Doctor! Save me!

Chapter 137: Doctor! Save me!

After sending Vivian away and declining Agatha's offer to help him bathe, Charlotte filled the bathtub with hot water and soaked himself in it.

His injuries had already healed, leaving only shallow red marks on his skin that would completely disappear in a few days.

In terms of perfect healing, healing magic was incomparable to surgery.

He slowly submerged his head in the water, feeling a sense of tranquility as his senses were sealed.

On the night of the Red Moon, the insane wave of beasts attacking the city made him feel a sense of urgency and danger.

Improving his strength had become even more urgent.

He couldn't always rely on fireball spells to blow himself up, could he?

But the freezing spells were indeed useful.

Three seconds of immobilization was enough for him to thrust his sword into the enemy's head three times.

Tomorrow, he would sell the demon cores and buy some more magic spells for self-defense.

Three minutes later, unable to hold his breath any longer, Charlotte lifted his head out of the bathtub, took a deep breath, and with a thought, he opened up his attribute panel:

"No problem, I'll take you there." Buddy looked at him gratefully and said, "Thank you for saving Menier last night. As his captain, I'm grateful that you risked your life to save him."

"No need to thank me, the Fox Guards have saved me multiple times as well. Unfortunately, that Fox Guard swordsman..." Charlotte sighed softly.

"Ian..." Buddy paused, restraining his emotions, before continuing, "He was the big brother of the Fox Guards. He fought to protect Baka Street and died in battle. It was his choice. He has a daughter who will receive the appropriate compensation."

Charlotte nodded slightly but still insisted on not letting Buddy accompany them. In the end, they were driven to the infirmary by an ordinary coachman from the manor.

"Boss, everyone looked serious during breakfast today. I heard that many monsters from the Abyss came in last night, and they ate a lot of people." Vivian, carrying Anna, whispered, her face filled with fear.

Charlotte lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, and soon after leaving Harriman Manor, they could frequently see severely damaged houses and people despairingly crying amidst the ruins along the streets.

He suddenly understood what Diana meant earlier. He would be busy today because so many people were injured last night.

Given the medical conditions in the Abyss, the four medical clinics couldn't possibly accommodate so many patients.

So many patients would inevitably flock to his infirmary.

And this was still the core territory of the Harriman family. The situation in other peripheral areas would probably be even worse.

"There are so many injured people. These monsters are annoying. If only the Abyss could install a large-scale magic barrier." Vivian looked at the scenes outside the carriage with pity and sighed softly.

When she was in the imperial capital, she had never felt monsters being so close to her.

On the Night of the Crimson Moon, the core urban area was not even restricted, and the street shops continued to operate as usual.

With a heavy heart, Charlotte remained silent until the carriage stopped in front of the infirmary.

As expected, there was already a long queue in front of the infirmary, with hundreds of patients, most of whom had suffered external injuries.

Some had their limbs bitten off, some had their heads crushed by collapsing buildings, and some had been stabbed during robberies on this desperate night.

The sounds of pain, screams, and desperate cries filled the air, making it seem like a purgatory on earth.

Two Fox Guards stood in front of the infirmary, trying to maintain order.

"The doctor is here! The doctor is here!"

Someone saw Charlotte getting off the carriage and shouted.

The eyes of the patients in the queue lit up with hope, and they called out to Charlotte:

"Doctor! Save me!"

"Doctor, I'm dying, please save me..."

The scene immediately became chaotic, with patients pulling at their wounds, grimacing in pain. But fearing falling behind and not receiving timely treatment, they attempted to push forward.

"I am Charlotte, everyone, please calm down and listen to me!" Charlotte stood on the carriage and shouted.

Gradually, the crowd quieted down, and all the patients' eyes were on him.

"I understand the pain and danger everyone is experiencing, but not every person's injuries are critical. I need to prioritize treating those in critical condition.

For those who only need basic wound cleaning and bandaging, I will provide cleanant solutions and hemostatic kits for self-treatment."

Charlotte looked at everyone earnestly and said, "Now, my assistants and the Fox Guards will screen all the patients to determine the treatment order based on the severity of their injuries! I hope that every one of you will survive."

The patients no longer pushed forward; instead, they took a few steps back, exposing the more critical cases.

"Eileen, take the critically ill patients into the operating room first. I'll prepare for surgery."

Charlotte instructed Vivian, then jumped down from the carriage and quickly walked towards the entrance of the infirmary.

He also nodded at the two Fox Guards and said, "Thank you for your help. Please assist in carrying some patients who have difficulty moving into the operating room."
