Consulting room The door finally opened slowly in silence, and a seemingly exhausted Douglas stepped out. Sweat mixed with traces of fatigue on his face, and he still held some medical tools in his hand, indicating that he had just gone through a long and arduous treatment. He took off his hat, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and then leaned against the door frame, panting.
Emily immediately jumped up from her chair and hurried towards Douglas, asking with concern, "Is he okay? How is Leo doing?" Her eyes were filled with worry and anticipation, clearly showing her deep concern for Leo's well-being.
Douglas shook his head, as if to dispel the weariness from his mind, then nodded slightly, giving the answer everyone had been waiting for: "Leo is okay now." His voice was a bit hoarse, but there was a sense of relief in it.
This news was like a warm current, quickly spreading through the waiting area, instantly easing the tense atmosphere. Sarah and Jim also lifted their heads from their respective contemplation, looking at Douglas with a hint of relaxed smiles on their faces.
Douglas wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and continued, "Although he's okay for now, he still needs to rest well. The burned areas need special attention to avoid infection." His voice carried a sense of responsibility as a doctor.
Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After a thrilling and heart-stopping night, they could finally confirm that their teammate Leo had escaped from the danger of death. Emily couldn't help but ask, "Can we go in and see him?"
Douglas nodded in agreement, then turned to lead them into the consulting room to witness their teammate's recent life-and-death ordeal. As the three followed Douglas into the consulting room, their attention was immediately drawn to Leo lying on the hospital bed. His breathing seemed steady, and some color had returned to his face. Most astonishingly, the severe burns on Leo's body from before now appeared almost completely healed, without the previous shocking scars.
Jim, watching this scene, asked in amazement, "Wow, what kind of trick is this, Douglas?" His eyes were filled with curiosity and disbelief.
Douglas showed a hint of smug smile on his face and explained, "That's artificial synthesized skin. I just removed all the burned tissues and replaced them with this new artificial skin. This material can accelerate skin regeneration and eventually integrate with the skin generated by the body." His voice carried a hint of professional pride, seemingly quite confident in his medical skills.
Upon hearing this explanation, Jim couldn't help but express admiration, while Emily and Sarah were also amazed by this advanced medical technology. Although Leo was still in a coma at the moment, a hint of tranquility could be seen on his face, as if he was also sensing the changes in his body in an intangible way.
This scene brought a sense of relief to everyone present, knowing that after Leo received treatment from Douglas, he not only escaped from life-threatening danger, but also will have a smoother recovery process in the future. Douglas's technique undoubtedly provides Leo with stronger vitality and recovery ability for future battles.
As Leo lay calmly on the hospital bed, Douglas carefully examined his physical condition, then turned to the three waiting people and provided a detailed diagnosis report. With a tone of professionalism and satisfaction, he said, "This guy's physical condition is really good, coupled with the advantage of youth, apart from the burns, there really aren't too many serious issues."
He continued, "There's a slight concussion and some burns in the chest area, but these are not major issues. His current state of unconsciousness is mainly due to lack of sufficient rest, compounded by the intense physical activity prior. Medically speaking, with proper rest and care, he should be able to get out of bed in a few days."
Douglas's words brought a sense of comfort to everyone present, knowing that Leo's condition had improved significantly after professional treatment. They had increased trust in Douglas's medical skills and were also filled with hope for Leo's future recovery.
Jim, Sarah, and Emily exchanged a smile, filled with anticipation for Leo's recovery and their future battles together. Douglas's report not only provided assurance of Leo's health, but also brought a glimmer of hope and comfort to the Valkyrie mercenary group. In this uncertain and dangerous world, having such resilience undoubtedly became their greatest asset.
As Douglas, clad in a tattered white coat, led the three mercenaries from the dim and damp medical room into an even darker corridor, he suddenly slowed his pace, took a deep breath of the humid air, and turned to face them. His eyes shimmered with a knowing glint, as if he had already foreseen what was to come.
"Cough, cough. Now, let's talk about the unparalleled medical service fees for this time, shall we?" Douglas began his speech with a self-proclaimed professional tone, his voice echoing in the narrow corridor with a unique rhythm.
Jim, with a displeased expression, muttered under his breath, "Oh... this old vampire is at it again." His voice, though low, sounded unusually abrupt in the silent corridor.
Upon hearing Jim's complaint, Douglas immediately turned around and responded with a somewhat mocking tone, "My ears are not deaf, I can hear very clearly, okay?" He seemed to be enjoying this little dispute, and then continued walking forward, beginning his grandiose speech.
"Everyone, we must recognize that high-quality medical services come with a corresponding cost. Just like on the battlefield, the continuation and salvation of life is essentially a trade. My skills, my time, and the rare medicinal herbs I have preserved in this dark corner are all priceless treasures. So, when we talk about costs, we are not just trading money, in fact, we are trading the hope of life, aren't we?" Douglas's voice was full of philosophy, seemingly elevating this fee increase to a moral and philosophical level.
They eventually arrived at a slightly spacious lounge at the end of the hallway. Douglas took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, detailing all the expenses for this treatment. Jim, Sarah, and Emily reluctantly sat down and began to carefully examine the paper. Although they were full of complaints in their hearts, they also deeply understood that this was a responsibility they had to bear for Leo's future.
Douglas explained each expense in a manner reminiscent of a seller's market, occasionally interspersing medical terms and explanations of his unique treatment methods, leaving the three feeling both helpless and admiring. Despite their displeasure with the astronomical charges, they knew that this was the reality they had to accept in order to survive in this dark world.
