Chapter 16 The first day I can't hold on
Chapter 16 The first day I can't hold on
"Next." Nemo was sitting in his consulting room receiving patients.This is what he has repeated every day since he became a doctor.Before, he did it alone, but now he has a little assistant, Jason Todd.
Jason's mother was very ill, and Nemo knew that the woman was dying.
When Jason came to the clinic for the third time to steal painkillers, Nemo caught him, and the child struggled symbolically with guilt and stopped resisting.He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and his face was pale, as if a beating was the only reward he could give.
Years of illness and drug torture had already destroyed the supposedly healthy body of Jason's mother, and what Nemo could do was to make her less painful before death came.
Nemo gave him painkillers and told the overly small kid to come to the clinic the next day to do chores like checking in on patients, cleaning up, and ordering him takeout.and so on.
As a reward, Nemo will provide him with three meals a day and a certain amount of painkillers to help his mother relieve her pain.
"Bruce Wayne?"
Jason looked suspiciously at the man who came in following the sound, as if he had gone to the wrong set.At first he thought it was the same name.
Bruce was wearing a silver-gray suit today, with his hair combed back meticulously. Nemo couldn't see his face clearly, because most of his face was covered by a huge bouquet of bright golden-red roses.
Bruce handed Nemo the flowers, and Nemo asked, "What are you doing?"
"Doctor, take it first? Otherwise, it will affect my performance."
Nemo took the flower and handed it to Jason.Little Jason was very discerning. Holding a rose that was wider than him, he said, "I'll help you find a vase!"
After finishing speaking, with a whoosh, even the people and flowers disappeared.
Bruce raised his eyebrows: "I like your little nurse."
Nemo rolled his eyes: "Mr. Wayne, is there anything else you can do with me?"
Bruce Wayne pretended to be sad: "Isn't it obvious enough for me, doctor, I want to pursue you."
Nemo looked down at the patient registration form that Jason put on his hand when he left, and said regretfully: "I still have 5, oh no, 62 patients who need to be consulted today, and there may not be time to arrange one before the sun goes down." Dating."
Bruce finally glanced at his registration form, and then asked, "What was the name of that little nurse just now?"
"Jason Todd."
"Jie, Xiaojie, are you still there?" Bruce was very familiar.
"Sir, what's the matter?" Jason raised his wet hands and swished in front of the two of them again.
"Can you write?" Bruce asked suspiciously, looking at the thin boy.
"Yes, I often help Dr. Carlos sort out the cases in the clinic!" The 10-year-old child is very eager to be affirmed by adults, and Jason can't wait to answer.
"Then you are awesome!" Bruce led Jason to the door of the clinic: "Ladies and gentlemen, I want to borrow your Dr. Nemo for a day..."
He didn't finish his sentence, and the people waiting in line at the door for consultation immediately started to quarrel with dissatisfaction.
"Hey, the doctor is the only person here who can help us with our pain, you can't take him away!"
"Yes! Even if you are Wayne."
People chirped in protest.
"No, I can." Bruce smiled.
He took out a stamp and handed it to Jason, and said to the person at the door: "Patients who have registered at Dr. Nemo's clinic today can come to this little Mr. Jason to register again. Mr. Xiao’s note and the Wayne seal on the note can go to the Thomas Wayne Memorial Clinic for free consultation. If you think you can persist until another day, you can also register with Jason and leave your bank card account .When I return from my appointment today, I will deposit $100 into each of the remaining accounts as a thank you for your support in my pursuit of Dr. Nemo today."
The crowd burst into applause.
"Doctor, go on a date with Mr. Wayne!"
"I wish you happiness!"
"Praise be to the generous Mr. Wayne!"
Jason was shocked by this wealthy Mr. Wayne, and he didn't react for a long time.
Nemo was also stunned by Bruce's ability to circulate money and was speechless for a long time.
Bruce took Nemo's shoulders and walked out, and the crowd automatically made way for them.
"Be happy, Dr. Nemo, Mr. Wayne really loves you!"
"Come on, Mr. Wayne! Don't worry about making an appointment with the doctor! The order of the clinic is guarded by us!"
……
Until sitting in Bruce's sports car, Nemo seemed to be able to hear everyone expressing their blessings to Bruce's relationship loudly.
Bruce started the engine and drove the car away from the East End.
"I woke up early this morning and wanted to go to the hotel to have breakfast with you, but the front desk told me that you had already checked out."
Bruce complained a little aggrieved while driving.
"Uh, you saw it too, I want to see a doctor." Nemo replied.
"So that's why I'm here." Bruce blinked triumphantly.
"Is there any place the doctor wants to go? Tour guide Wayne will provide you with VIP service throughout the whole process today." Bruce said playfully.
Nemo thought for a while and said honestly: "Actually, since I came to Gotham, I seldom leave the East Side. In the past, because I was young, my mother had to attend clinics and had no time to take me out to play. Later, I ran the clinic by myself, except for consultations. It will take a lot of time to research cheaper medicinal materials to help those who can't see the disease."
Bruce was silent for a while before saying, "You're amazing."
But I still have to monitor you until I find your weakness.
Nemo smiled: "It's nothing, anyway, I don't think Gotham is much fun."
Maybe in the eyes of Bruce or someone else, his life is boring, but Nemo really doesn't care.
In addition to consulting clinics and researching potions in his daily life, he continued to study magic without a clue.This is why he is willing to continue to contact Bruce Wayne.
Bruce seemed extremely dissatisfied with this answer, and he hooked his lips into a smile: "Then let the playboy Bruce Wayne take you to see Gotham's rich and luxurious fans."
As he spoke, he accelerated and drove towards Burnley, the central city.
It has to be said that Bruce Wayne is worthy of his reputation and knows the eating, drinking and fun of Gotham like the back of his hand.
Nemo's whole day was clearly arranged by Bruce. He almost took Nemo to the most luxurious places in Gotham.As the evening approached, Bruce took Nemo to the last attraction of the Gotham day trip, the observation deck at the highest point of Wayne Tower.
The two were lying on the guardrail of the viewing platform, facing the position where the sun was about to set.
"Here, you can see the most beautiful Gotham." The evening breeze brushed against Bruce's face, he squinted slightly, raised his head and said softly.
"Wait and see, Gotham in the sunset."
Nemo also leaned on the railing, looking out through the huge and bright floor-to-ceiling windows of the observation deck.
In fact, he doesn't care whether Gotham is beautiful or not.
In the previous world, there were his mentors and friends, as well as the family elders who sent his soul here. In the past seven years, he never gave up going home.Therefore, he understood what kind of sinful city Gotham is through TV, newspapers and life in the East Side, but he didn't care, and he didn't want to empathize with any party in this city.
But the other party is Bruce, the person he can actually get magical feedback so far, so he doesn't want to disappoint the other party.
The two of them didn't speak any more, they waited quietly for the sunset to set.
The two were quiet for a while, and Bruce thought Nemo would be bored, so he said, "My grandfather built the Wayne Tower, and the twelve gargoyles on the top of the tower have become symbols of Gotham. There are five gargoyles on the bottom floor. One, they protect Gotham's three bridges and two intercity tunnels, and the seven gargoyles on the top floor symbolize the seven lines of Gotham's intercity traffic, and they gather at Gotham Union Station under the Wayne Tower."
"She is the tallest building in Gotham, and my grandfather wants to turn Wayne Tower into a beacon of Gotham, pointing the way for Gotham people so that they will never get lost."
Then he laughed at himself and didn't continue talking.
Nemo looked at Bruce and found that the man who had been laughing all day looked a little sad and melancholy when he said these words.
So far, he has seen a lot of Bruce, the Bruce who is frivolous in the media, the Bruce who is reckless in the face of terrorist attacks, the Bruce who is sarcastic when facing the police, the Bruce who is trying to exude charm all day today, And this moment, a brooding Bruce.
Maybe Gotham never got to know Bruce Wayne, Nemo thought
But no matter what, this mysterious Bruce is very attractive to Nemo at this time.
Maybe mystery does attract mystery.
How, Nemo thought, would he return Bruce's gift of magic?It might be good to be this one-month lover as he wished.Besides, he still has a very bold guess that needs to be confirmed on Bruce Wayne.
It occurred to him that Bruce had initiated every kiss they'd had so far, and he poked Bruce's arm.
Bruce looked over at him.
"Does your shoulder still hurt?" Nemo asked him.
Bruce smiled and shook his head: "You know I like extreme sports, this injury is nothing to me, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Nemo put a hand on his shoulder, tiptoed slightly, and kissed Bruce.
Bruce's charming eyes widened in surprise at first, and then he turned his back on the guest. He gently covered Nemo's open eyes with one hand, wrapped his arms around his waist, and lifted him onto the railing of the observation deck .
The setting sun began to fall without warning, like a huge red velvet ice cream cake, melting on the river of Gotham Bay unexpectedly.
The orange-red twilight casts a golden outline on the two people who are kissing. The gargoyle on Wayne Tower and the mote in the sunset together witness this beautiful and false love.
"Do you know what it means to kiss me?"
After the kiss was over, Bruce brushed away the hair on Nemo's forehead with one hand, and confirmed with his forehead in a low voice.
Nemo's answer was to peck his lips lightly again: "Yes, Mr. Wayne, you have caught up with me."
Bruce smiled heavily, took Nemo's hand and pulled him down the railing, and the two walked towards the elevator together.
"I thought it would take more time and effort to impress someone like a doctor."
"Are you saying that I am too easy to chase? Then let's go back to the position just now, and I will answer your question again."
"Oh no, that's not what it means, it's good like this, I like it like this."
"Well, you can always trust Bruce's charm."
"Ha, I take it as a compliment."
"Be confident, I'm just praising you."
