[One Piece] Uncrowned King

Originally, Garp and the others were only slightly injured. After the general gave the recall order, Garp left the ward with a wretched smile while smirking at Roger and smirking at his son. After Roger and Newgate, the eerie maternity ward became quiet.Newgate's temperament is different from Garp's lively and jumpy, no matter what Roger said, as long as it is not a business matter, he basically ignores it. In the end, Roger also felt too boring, so he pulled the quilt and fell asleep.

In the dead of night, when Roger fell asleep, Newgate lifted the quilt and stood up, put on his outer clothes, unscrewed the staff in the ward and walked outside.Making a quiet gesture to the sons who stayed outside to take care of them, Newgate walked lightly and tried not to make a sound as he walked towards Teresa's office. Sure enough, he saw that the small room was still brightly lit. Through the glass windows, you can still see her writing and writing hard.Seeing this picture, Newgate's originally stretched brows were slightly knotted... During the years when he was not with Teresa, her habit of forgetting to eat and sleep when she became obsessed with medicine became more and more serious. Seriously, if this continues, there may be a day when Teresa, who is younger than herself, will leave first.

Back then, he and she were just underage teenagers and girls, but in the blink of an eye, they were already parents.Teresa is no longer as young as she was back then. Although she can't tell from the outside, she has indeed entered middle age, and all aspects of her body are not as healthy as before.Although she didn't say anything, he, who knew her very well, could also see that there were many discomforts in her body.Just like her arm, from the beginning of the meeting, when it was raised up, it was a little stiff. When she was applying medicine for him before, her brows were painful and wrinkled when she was exerting force.But even so, she was still working hard and didn't relax at all because of her physical discomfort.She is most concerned with the health of others and cherishes life the most, but she does not cherish herself.

Walking to her door softly, Newgate pushed the door open and walked in, pulled out the chair straight away, and sat quietly beside Teresa.And Teresa just raised her eyes, and then continued to write something on the paper.Years of married life made them familiar with each other's existence as if they were familiar with themselves. It might be uncomfortable for others, but Teresa liked the feeling of having her husband sitting next to her.

Newgate sat on the side and poured himself a glass of water. He didn't speak in a hurry, but after putting the clothes on her, he quietly closed his eyes and waited for Teresa's work to come to an end.Such a way of getting along has been going on for many years, and he naturally knows that she cannot interrupt her train of thought at this time.

I don't know how long it took before the rustling sound of the pen on the paper disappeared, and Newgate opened his eyes, put the cold water glass on the table, and said, "Teresa."

"Are you looking for me about Roger?" Teresa asked directly.

Newgate nodded without the slightest hesitation, and said, "I knew it, and you will definitely see it."

"Hmm..." Teresa organized the documents she had just written, put them in a folder, and said, "The little Roger I know is not the kind of man who will obediently be bored after suffering from a disease that men are too shy to speak out." Silent fellow."

"..." Newgate twitched the corners of his mouth, acquiescing to Teresa's statement.

Teresa hugged the organized folders in her arms, walked to the bookshelf behind her, inserted two of the folders into the holes in the lower row according to categories, then raised her hand, and held up the remaining one to work hard. want to be inserted into the top layer.It was just the raised arms that caused severe pain in the shoulders. Teresa frowned and tried her best to ignore the pain.At this moment, a big hand suddenly took the folder from her hand, and easily inserted it into the vacant place.Teresa looked up and saw only Newgate's chin.

After putting the folder away, Teresa breathed a sigh of relief, turned her shoulders and said, "It's just a little sore, just apply some medicine." She opened the drawer and found a pack of ointment from inside.But this time Newgate took out the medicine one step faster than her, raised his hand and pressed her on the swivel chair and said: "There are medicines in this kind of place, it seems that this is not the first time. "

Teresa smiled awkwardly, and said, "Ah... I forget the time when I get busy." She raised her hand up, and felt a sharp pain in her shoulder.

Newgate looked at the usage written on the eye ointment, took out the washbasin and poured hot water into it, sprinkled the ointment into it, and evenly mixed it with his hands without fear of burning it, and after lowering the water temperature, put a special towel I soaked up some water in it, and applied it to Teresa's shoulder.The latter was suddenly scalded by the hot towel, his whole body trembled, and he said, "It's hot..."

"This temperature is just right." Newgate pressed his hand on her shoulder, not letting go at all because of Teresa's cry of pain.

"Hmm...Although it's fine if you get used to it, but you are too sudden, tell me before you apply it next time." Teresa complained, if she did it herself, she would wait for the water temperature to be lower before applying it. , although the effect of the medicine will lose a little, but it will not be too hot.

"If you don't want a next time, don't give me a chance." Newgate glanced at her and said calmly.This means, if you don't want to be burned again, then you should take care of your body. If she is not sick, he naturally has no chance to give her medicine.

"Hahaha..." Teresa smiled forcedly. To be honest, she couldn't guarantee such a thing herself.She raised her hand to touch her nose, and said, "Do you know what happened to Roger? That kid seems to have a lot of problems with his body, otherwise he wouldn't have colluded to hide it from me."

"I don't know the details." When talking about the business, Newgate said deeply: "When we fought him, his movements were a bit weird, but I can't tell you the specifics."

"Hmm..." Teresa rubbed her temples with a headache, and suddenly thought of something, and said to the people around her: "Speaking of which, Newgate, you and little Roger, aren't you enemies?" You care so much about him.

Newgate put the towel away and still kept it on one side, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "If Roger is missing in this sea area, we will lose a lot of fun."

"It's really a strange friendship." Teresa smiled, stretched out her hand to fasten the button, turned her shoulders and said, "Okay, it doesn't hurt anymore." She raised her hand through Newgate's arm, and walked away with him out of the office.
