Chapter 282 Other people's miracles are your hell! (Happy National Day to everyone!)
In fact, Strange became Jessica's attending physician.
It was also one of the coincidences that Rorschach had not expected.
Iron Man David arranged for the seriously injured Jessica to be admitted to the best private hospital in New York.
And he is one of the best neurosurgeons in the country.
Strange is naturally also a valuable resource and guest of honor in major private hospitals.
At this moment, Rorschach, who had gotten to know each other, exchanged a few simple greetings with Strange, who had not yet stepped into that unknown world.
The topics of conversation between the two sides were nothing more than discussions about Jessica's illness, as well as complaints and lamentations about the heavy snow in New York.
However, perhaps he vaguely sensed the perfunctory and weird tone in Rorschach's words.
With a polite smile on his face, Strange turned and walked out of the ward door, saying that he did not want to disturb Rorschach's visit to the patient.
Wait until Strange closes the door and leaves.
In the brightly lit ward, the only person left was Rorschach, who had a calm expression.
And Jessica, who was lying quietly in the luxurious hospital bed, as well-behaved as a quail.
"Boss, you..."
However, before her eyes could move subconsciously, Jessica spoke first.
Rorschach raised one hand and suddenly took out a crystal clear ice-blue gem from the pocket of his black windbreaker and threw it over Jessica's bed.
Bang!
Jessica opened her eyes wide and didn't care about aggravating her injuries.
With her teeth bared, she almost instantly raised an arm wrapped in white bandages.
He successfully caught the small object which had sharp edges on the outside and felt cold and hard.
The next second, Jessica narrowed one eye slightly and quickly brought the ice-blue gem close to her open eyes to examine it repeatedly.
At the same time, she leaned over like Grandet and asked Rorschach with a smile.
"Boss, what is this? Is it a precious gem that David got to comfort my broken heart?"
"Oh, Jessica, you have a nice thought, but it's a pity that David has no time to take care of you recently. This is a panacea that can repair injuries and diseases at the genetic level. You have been lying here for so long, you should get up and move around!"
Rorschach, with a gentle expression, stood there and spoke in a calm tone.
"Uh, okay, so how do you use this thing?"
Jessica, with a hint of embarrassment on her face, quickly grinned.
Then, she stared suspiciously at the ice-blue gem between her fingers and continued to ask.
"According to common sense, it should be melted and injected, but the current conditions do not allow it. You can just swallow it directly. Don't glare at me. This is the suggestion made by Mr. Connors."
Rorschach stared at Jessica, whose eyes widened again.
A teasing smile subconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, Jessica's expression was as determined as if she were back on the battlefield.
Without hesitation, he stuffed the ice-blue panacea into his mouth and began chewing it repeatedly.
"Hiss, it feels icy and cool, and the taste is pretty good, even a little sweet."
The next second, Jessica, who was describing the taste of the panacea to Rorschach, began to shake violently.
Then, the bandages and plasters covering most of her body suddenly broke apart due to the constant strain and twitching of her muscles.
There were bursts of extremely fine crackling sounds.
Not long after, Jessica, with a dazed look on her face, sat up from the luxurious bed.
Rorschach smiled and said to the other party seriously:
"Battle Sister Jessica, welcome back to the team!"
-
The gloomy sky gradually darkened.
The cold temperatures dropped a lot again.
Strange, wearing a heavy coat, was warming up his black sports car which was parked in the parking lot behind the hospital.
This private medical center is just one of the hospitals where he earns extra money.
It was not the public hospital where he had worked for a long time.
At this moment, he is about to go to another nursing home on the outskirts of the city for his last operation.
"After this surgery, you won't have to earn extra money before Christmas. Oh, and remember to bring a gift for Christine when you return to the hospital."
Strange, with a burning cigarette between his fingers, slowly exhaled wisps of green smoke from his nostrils.
Even he muttered to himself.
Then, it was getting dark.
The sports car is almost warmed up.
The cigarette between his fingers burned to the end, and Strange threw the butt away.
He turned around, opened the car door, and was about to get in and leave.
However, at this moment, out of the corner of his eye he inadvertently saw two familiar figures that looked sneaky quietly walking out of the back door of the hospital.
A black-haired girl wearing a black windbreaker and hospital gown, and her young boss who is unidentified and looks mysterious.
"Jessica? And what's her friend's name? Oh, Rorschach!"
Strange didn't seem to mind.
He was recalling the information about the two people.
While slowly sitting in the driver's seat of the black sports car.
After the car door closed, both hands subconsciously placed on the steering wheel.
Strange, who vaguely sensed that something was wrong, suddenly remembered.
The black-haired girl named Jessica didn't want to be discharged from the hospital just because her injuries had not yet healed.
Was he repeatedly stopped by him and the hospital?
Now he ran away secretly again, and it didn't seem like he was trying to avoid paying the medical bills. Why did he do that?
Moreover, how did the black-haired girl, whose injuries had not yet healed, get down from the hospital bed?
Unfortunately, by the time Strange reacted, he turned his head again to look at the scene outside the car.
The black-haired girl and the mysterious man had disappeared long ago.
At this moment, Strange, whose thoughts were a little confused, subconsciously took out his mobile phone.
He wants to communicate with the hospital here.
Tell the truth about the black-haired girl leaving the hospital without permission.
But the next second, Strange, with a frown on his face, suddenly threw the phone in his hand onto the passenger seat.
A sigh faintly escaped from his mouth.
"Strange, you are just a surgeon who comes here to earn some extra money. Besides, that black-haired girl is not an ordinary person. She must be a person with super powers. You'd better not meddle in other people's business, or you will get into trouble."
Strange made a quick decision and stepped hard on the accelerator of the black sports car.
He drove his beloved car, which was making a loud roar, and started heading towards the outskirts of the city.
Along the way, the snow on the main roads in the city was cleared relatively cleanly.
However, when the sports car driven by Strange officially entered the suburban area.
The complex snowy road with no signs of clearing forced Strange to drive the vehicle carefully.
This also made him subconsciously complain in his heart about the employer of this operation.
Soon after, the sky outside the car fell into complete darkness.
With a frown on his face, Strange turned on the bright headlights of the black sports car.
Two shining beams of light shone on the snow-white road ahead.
Occasionally, more blurry spots of light were reflected around.
And as time slowly passes.
The houses around the desolate road are becoming increasingly scarce.
It also makes the journey to the sanatorium look even more weird.
"Let's forget about this operation. I'll call my employer as soon as possible to explain the situation... After all, driving on the road in this kind of weather is simply risking your life!"
Strange, whose brows suddenly relaxed, took a deep breath.
He first glanced at the snow-white road ahead that seemed to remain unchanged.
As the accelerator was relaxed, the speed of the sports car slowed down slightly.
He leaned sideways and reached out a hand, touching the phone thrown on the passenger seat.
Boom boom boom—
At this moment, accompanied by a roar from the engine of a heavy motorcycle.
Ahead is the road with the snow-white ground slightly reflecting.
A terrifying figure that seemed to be completely wrapped in a blazing flame appeared in Strange's field of vision without any warning!
Then, the terrifying figure that seemed like an evil spirit also drove the blazing heavy motorcycle without hesitation.
He rushed towards the black sports car head-on!
"What the hell is this!"
At this moment, Strange couldn't help but open his eyes wide and subconsciously let out a scream of fear.
He slammed the steering wheel with both hands and stepped hard on the brakes.
And accompanied by extremely sharp tire friction and collision sounds.
The entire sports car almost rolled over and fell heavily to the desolate ground on the side of the road!
Thank you for your support!
Why do some people think this is some kind of face-slapping routine?
How can other characters and events be introduced without laying the groundwork?
