Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Portia hurriedly helped Jevola into the house.

"Just be patient for now, I'll call an ambulance."

"Don't call an ambulance, it doesn't matter to me." Jefla said with difficulty.

"Why? You are so injured."

Portia looked at Jevora anxiously.

"I said it's okay, help me into my room."

Portia helped Gevra back into the room.

Jevola said in a weak tone: "There is a bottle in the drawer of my desk. Get it for me."

Portia opened the drawer and there was a bottle of white liquid inside.

But there is no trademark on it, and I don’t know what kind of potion it is.

Portia held the bottle in front of Gevula, hesitating whether to give it to her.

"Refla, are you sure the liquid in this bottle is really drinkable? I think it's best to find a professional doctor."

"I know what I'm doing."

Even when she was at her weakest, Revla's consciousness was still very clear.

"Okay then." Portia handed the bottle to Gevula.

Refula opened the bottle and drank the white liquid in one gulp.

The liquid in this bottle only temporarily relieved her injuries.

It's not that she doesn't have other potions, but most of them are only used when there is real danger and cannot be used at this time.

Portia was still worried. After hesitating for a long time, Portia said: "Revla, our boss is a doctor. Can I ask him to come over and check your injury? Don't worry, our boss will not spread your injury to others." Out."

Jefla also hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay."

Portia immediately called Chen Zhao.

"Portia, give me a reason not to kill you." On the other end of the phone, Chen Zhao's tone was quite harsh: "Do you know what time it is?"

"Boss... um... I have a problem at home, and my roommate is injured."

"If you're injured, go to the hospital. Why are you calling me?"

"Aren't you an illegal doctor?"

"Then what?"

"I'm going to hire you now."

"Haha...Portia, do you know how much my single payment is?"

"How many?"

"Including the price you paid for disturbing my sleep, I'll give you a discount of two million dollars."

Portia's voice immediately became sharp and high-pitched: "Are you crazy? How could anyone pay such a high fee?"

"You know that two million dollars may not be able to hire me. If you and I don't know each other, you need to pay more."

"I don't have that much money."

"You can take it on credit. Write me an IOU."

"No money," Portia said angrily.

"Okay then, I'm going to bed, good night."

"Boss, I'm really in a hurry here."

"Let's talk tomorrow."

After saying that, Chen Zhao hung up the phone.

Portia dropped the phone on the ground angrily.

"Bastard bastard bastard... this bastard."

After venting her anger, Portia picked up her phone again.

"Okay, okay, I didn't break the phone."

Portia looked at Gevula with a hint of apology: "Revula, I'm sorry, that bastard refused to come."

"It doesn't matter."

"You take a rest first, and I'll call the boss in the morning." Portia said.

"good."

Portia looked at Revula, who didn't close her eyes at all, just lying there weakly.

"Portia, please take a nap."

"I'm not used to sleeping at a time like this."

As a dragon slayer, Refla has a record of being injured many times.

Every time she gets hurt, she stays awake the entire time.

She would never let herself fall asleep.

Portia couldn't understand even more. Why didn't she just sleep for such a serious injury?

Why not call the doctor?

"Refla, who hurt you? Are you sure you don't need to call the police?"

"I said it doesn't matter. I injured myself by falling." Jefla said calmly.

Injured by a fall? Portia looked at Gevula: "Revla, can you please give me some relief from your lies?"

Portia couldn't feel the sincerity in Gevra's lies at all.

Revla just lay there, remaining silent.

Portia stayed up like that until dawn, helping to take care of Jevola.

"Refla, I think I should raise the rent. Have you ever seen such a conscientious roommate like me?"

"You can go to sleep, I don't need your care."

"I really don't understand why you don't take a nap, at least it will make you feel better." Portia looked at Gevula, feeling uncomfortable herself.

If it were her, she would have been unable to bear sleeping.

But Jefla was so seriously injured that she didn't want to sleep.

Portia dialed Chen Zhao's phone number again.

"Boss, if you don't come over to see my friend, I won't be able to go to work, and I won't be able to go there next week."

"You are threatening me."

"I'm not threatening you..." Portia's tone suddenly became weaker: "I'm just telling you a fact."

"Just wait for me." Chen Zhao was furious.

It was already an hour later when Chen Zhao arrived at Portia's house.

Knocking on Portia's door, Portia complained first.

"Boss, you came too late."

"Who asked you to live so far away?"

"Who told you to give me such a low salary? I can only live so far away."

"Who said you were not capable enough? If you were capable enough, I would pay you more."

"Who told you to only give me such a small amount of work? I won't even have a chance to show my abilities."

"If you think the workload is small, I will be happy to arrange more work for you." Chen Zhao looked at Portia with a sneer.

After entering Portia's house, Chen Zhao looked at it: "Is this the place you rented? It looks pretty good."

If she hadn't seen Chen Zhao's home, Portia would still think that the house she rented was pretty good.

But after seeing Mingyue Villa and Mirror Lake Villa, Portia felt that her home was shabby no matter how she looked at it.

Regarding Chen Zhao's words, I felt even more hypocritical.

Chen Zhao sniffed: "The smell of blood is so strong. Is it the blood your friend vomited?"

"Well, yes, she vomited several mouthfuls of blood last night."

Portia glanced at Chen Zhao complainingly: "She didn't sleep last night. She kept her eyes open. It made me feel uncomfortable just looking at her. She was so seriously injured and she still refused to sleep. I really don't understand what she was thinking. .”

"Why didn't you call an ambulance? Did you call the police?" Chen Zhao asked.

"She wouldn't let me."

"No? Why?"

"I don't know either."

Portia took Chen Zhao into Jefla's room.

But the room was empty, and there was no one on the bed.

Suddenly, Chen Zhao found Refla hiding behind the door.

Revula attacked from behind. Chen Zhao did not hesitate and threw Revula directly over his shoulder, throwing Revula heavily forward.
