Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

After tidying up her makeup a little, she returned to the corridor of the ward.

Zola went in and took a look at Rasfa. After seeing the steady heartbeat on the heart rate monitor and Rasfa's snoring, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Chen Zhao's medicine has had an effect.

At least, he has passed the most dangerous time.

At this time, there were still three or four hours before dawn, and Zola had already fallen asleep in a daze.

Chen Zhao took off his coat and covered Zola's body, while he walked around with the dog.

"There are a lot of prey here." Lao Hei was like a wolf entering the flock of sheep, with a faint light shining under his faceless hood.

"Don't mess around." Chen Zhao was startled. He felt that bringing Lao Hei to the hospital was a mistake.

"Although there are many prey, none of them belong to me." Lao Hei said in frustration: "I didn't feel their death, so they don't belong to me. Hey... I felt one."

Lao Hei suddenly stopped in front of a ward: "This is a pure soul. I am so lucky. This can extract a lot of demon crystals."

Chen Zhao pushed open the ward and saw a pale boy lying on the bed in the dim ward. The boy was wearing a respirator and his hair was shaved.

Chen Zhao was silent for a long time: "How will he die?"

"There's something in his head, and at fifteen o'clock this afternoon, that something is going to kill him."

"Will the demon crystal be useful to him?"

"It can be suppressed, but as long as the things in his head are still there, he can only delay the time temporarily." Lao Hei said: "However, if you want me to give up this prey, you have to give me some benefits."

"I owe you a year's worth of demon crystal."

"not enough."

"Don't bargain with me. It's just this price. If you're not satisfied, then our deal will be void and you can deprive him of his soul."

"Okay, could you please not lower the price so hard next time?"

Chen Zhao looked inside the ward. There was no monitor. He took out some demon crystal powder, then opened the boy's mouth and poured it in.

"His death has passed, and he has lived for half a year." Lao Hei said.

As soon as I left the ward, a female doctor suddenly came over.

"who are you?"

"Uh... I'm a family member of the patient."

"No, you are not John's family member. He has lived here for two years and I have never seen you. Besides, it is impossible for family members to come to visit at this time. Who are you?"

"I...I went to the wrong ward. My friend lives in the intensive care unit. The rooms here all look the same."

At this time, the female doctor picked up the walkie-talkie: "Security, security, come here."

Chen Zhao stood there helplessly, with no intention of running, and then Chen Zhao was taken to the security room.

"Who are you? If you don't tell the truth, I will call the police." The female doctor looked at Chen Zhao reluctantly.

"I told you, I admitted to the wrong ward."

"Then why did you lie in the first place?"

"You remember wrongly, when did I lie?"

"It seems I can only call the police."

Chen Zhao also picked up his mobile phone: "Zola, can you come to the security room of the hospital? There seems to be a misunderstanding between the doctor here and me."

Not long after, Zola walked in, saw Chen Zhao, and then looked at the female doctor.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"This man broke into a boy's ward. I suspect his motives are not pure."

At this moment, a female nurse ran in excitedly: "Farr, John is awake, he is awake."

"What? John woke up? How is that possible?"

"It's true. After he woke up, he kept shouting that he was hungry and wanted to eat."

"This is impossible... He has been in a coma since he came out of the chemotherapy room. He can't have that appetite... and... the results of the last few chemotherapy treatments have been very poor, and the things in his brain have not shrunk. , that thing has pressed on his central nervous system, and it’s impossible for him to wake up.”

Farr had been John's primary physician and she was well aware of John's condition.

John has been relying on infusions for nutrition recently. Chemotherapy has completely destroyed John's taste buds.

This is a very cruel thing for a child.

The cruelest thing is that despite paying such a high price, his condition has not improved in any way.

Chemotherapy has little effect on him, but is further destroying his vitality.

"But it's true, he looks very energetic."

"Doctor, if my friend is okay, can I take him away?"

"Can't!"

"I think this is okay. The hospital has no right to detain my friend. If you want to restrict his freedom, please call the police and let the police talk to my lawyer. We are just outside the Special Care Ward No. 01. You can come at any time You can call the police over.”

Chen Zhao followed Zola: "Thank you, I owe you a favor."

"Did you save that boy?"

"What boy, I don't know what you are talking about."

"You broke into that ward to save that boy?"

"You'd better be concerned about your father's condition first. It's almost time now. You should wake him up for breakfast."

"He has already woken up and started complaining that he was hungry, just like that boy."

"It seems I succeeded. By the way, can you let Paul send my consultation fee to where I live? By the way, I need to get in special shape. I only accept cash."

"Aren't you going to stay and discuss my father's next course of treatment?"

"I really don't want to have anything to do with him anymore. Your father is not an easy person to deal with."

"For me, can't you?"

Chen Zhao smiled, we really have nothing to do with each other.

Do you really think there is any story in this world about letting go of grudges in one sleep?

"Make a price."

"For six courses of treatment, I guarantee that your father will live for at least one more year. Each course of treatment costs one hundred thousand dollars."

"There is no medical treatment in the world that charges such a high price."

"Are you sure you haven't?"

"Okay, it's a deal."
