Zach really did some housework for Derek, it was free.
Derek shouldn't have taken time off to give Zach a little challenge. Imagine that Zach goes to the hospital to play Dr. Grande. This scene is also quite 'beautiful'~
It's really not difficult to operate, it only takes one day. In a place like a hospital, vampire supplies are everywhere. If the Charming Eyes are on for a day, no one will notice that their Doctor Grande has changed.
This day will become a 'miracle day' in Dr. Derek Grande's career!
Oh, thinking about it this way, Derek probably asked for leave just because he didn't want to live in the shadow of this 'miracle day' from now on~ The result is that Zach really has nothing to do.
There was a soap opera with Republican subtitles on the TV, and Zach started wandering around cleaning.
The atmosphere at Derek's house is actually quite... pitiful. The general tone is that this is the home of a man who has reached middle age, whose family has broken up, and is starting over.
Although Amanda sleeping upstairs confirms that the man's new life has improved a bit, the influence of Amanda, the possible future hostess, has not yet been reflected in all parts of the home.
The photos hanging on the wall are still of Derek's previous family. The photos were cropped to show only men and children. The woman who was once in Derek's life made it very clear that she didn't want to be in the same frame as Derek in any way. Zach found only one photo of Derek and Amanda on the refrigerator.
The schedules on the calendar are all planned by Derek. It is sad that every three days, one night will be marked as 'children's phone time'. Zach looked through it all out of boredom, but he didn't find any traces left by Amanda on it.
Food always embodies the details of life the most. While cleaning, Zach found a pile of takeout orders. Alas, on the same date, Derek and Amanda would order single-serve takeout at different times. Everyone can figure out what it means.
There are also many details that illustrate that the life state the owner of this home is experiencing is neither typically good nor typically bad. Stuck at a certain stage in the middle, it seems promising, but also feels pitiful...
If Zach can really learn something from this absurd life-changing game, it might be Derek's life situation, which is not bad.
Pretty good too.
Zach found something interesting when he was cleaning the study.
What’s interesting is that unlike the details of Derek’s life that were revealed, they are related to Derek’s work profession.
Zach discovered that Derek had a quilt cabinet that was not locked, but deliberately placed a sign outside saying "Clinical Waste."
Based on Zach's original intention of cleaning the room, since it is trash, of course it must be thrown away. Zach opened the cabinet and our vampire was frightened.
The bottles and jars in the cabinet are organs, all kinds of organs... dead organs.
Under each jar there is a time, place and event.
After calming down after the initial fright, Zach realized that his younger brother was not some horrific serial killer. These things were just... souvenirs from the medical incidents that Derek had participated in during his medical career.
From Derek's first appendix to replacing the broken valve from the patient's heart...
If Zach loses the contents of this cabinet, Derek may fight Zach desperately. Zach closed the cabinet religiously with awe of human medical progress.
A trace of curiosity about the work of real doctors was aroused.
Note, only a real doctor, not Zach's pretender.
From the appendix, which is insignificant to life, to the heart, which is the ultimate key to a person's life. Human medical treatment seems to have taken a path that other creatures cannot imagine, and this path obviously has no intention of stopping~
Zach knew that his younger brother's specialty was cardiac surgery, and that the military doctor he once served in the war was considered a comprehensive trauma department. In addition, there are many branches of human medical specialties. Where have humans gone in this field created by themselves? Zach wondered.
Throwing away the cleaning supplies, Zach sat down in Derek's study. Vampires want to go into areas that they have never considered before.
Reality is... realistic. Zach did five minutes at Derek's desk and didn't know where to start
Zach couldn't even pronounce the title of the professional book that Derek placed on the table correctly!
forget it. Zach comforted himself that after all, it was a useless field for vampires. Get up, prepare to pick up the cleaning supplies, and continue cleaning...
Zach bent down and took out a document from the trash can next to his desk.
What caught Zach's attention was the word 'Vega City Hospital' on the cover of the document.
Zach knows that doctors, as extremely professional resources, are shared by the country and region. Derek has also said before that if there are doctors in a certain place who need special expertise, when the patient cannot move easily, it is the doctor who moves.
As a pretty good professional, it is not surprising that Derek would receive requests from patients from other places. But the city of Vega really intrigued Zach's curiosity.
Zach opened the document that Derek had thrown away as trash. The photo on the first page made Zach squint because he wasn't sure what he was seeing.
In the photo, there is a baby tied together with a ball of red food and placed in a container similar to an incubator.
Zach squinted, tilted his head, and stared for a long time...his heart twitched. When the sudden rush of blood rushed to Zach's brain, Zach realized what he was looking at: a baby with a heart outside the body! !
Zach quickly flipped through the document, skipping all the professional words he didn't recognize. Zach roughly understood the meaning of this case: for some reason, the baby's heart completed development outside the chest cavity. Vega's doctors are consulting with professionals from all over the country to find a way to put the heart back into the baby's body.
Zach closed the file and began to think.
In this story, there is one thing that has never been stated explicitly, but various signs are telling everyone about a certain phenomenon. Among the thirteen clans, there is one clan in which all of them have crooked melons and cracked dates. They may have weird limbs, distasteful faces, voices that don't match their appearance, or...
This clan is the Novel who has stayed in the hood for a long time and operates in the shadow of the civilization established by normal humans, literally!
This document in Zach's hand, this baby, if he becomes an adult, if he becomes a vampire, he will be a standard Novel! Gain the power to manipulate all the shadows in this world!
Please bear with me, Zach’s current thinking may not be very ethical.
Human medical development is killing Novel's future!
Very simple logic: The standard of Novel's expanded descendants will be obliterated by the level of human medical care in this era and will definitely continue to advance!
Zach pinched the document in his hand and frowned. Toledo is a far-sighted clan, right? A century ago, Toledo saw that slavery was being abandoned by the times, so he took advantage of the situation and wiped out his own clan. Now, as Toledo, Zach sees the end of the Nofele clan in the era!
Dora and Bumi must be warned!
Zach took the document and left the study. In Paisiying, Zach decided to go to Nofeile in person and explain Toledo's prediction of the future to them seriously! Nofele cannot let the old path of the secret alliance decline under Zach's eyes!
As soon as I reached the door, the phone rang.
Zach frowned and glanced back. Thanks to technology, the words 'Vega City Hospital' were displayed on the phone's display.
Zach pursed his lips. Complaining about coincidence? no point! This information was found in the trash can in the study room, just within the past two days! It's better to complain about coincidence than to complain about Zach's good luck! Another weird incident happened!
Zach adjusted his mood slightly, walked to the phone, and answered, "Grand." When Zach's voice came out, he was already calm.
"Doctor Grande? That's great!" There was an excited voice on the other side of the receiver, "This is from Vega City Hospital. We called the hospital and they said you took a leave of absence and gave us your family's Telephone!"
Regardless of whether Zach intended to clarify, his Grande and the excited Grande of the other party were not the same. The voice in the receiver pushed forward very actively, "Have you read the information we sent you? The patient's condition is now There have been some changes…”
Regardless of whether Zack here wanted to hear it or not, a bunch of professional vocabulary came out of the receiver. Zach couldn't understand it, but Zach could hear the tone, which seemed to be positive. After a bunch of content that Zach couldn't get in touch with, the receiver said, "This will be innovation! It's revolution! It's a milestone in medical progress towards the future! We are very honored to invite Dr. Grande to participate in this..."
Zach heard something and interrupted, "It sounds like you don't need my professional advice. You already have a treatment plan." As I said, Zach is not good at the medical profession, but dealing with people, haha, Zach Gram is the master.
"Ah..." The other party seemed a little surprised by the calmness here, "Yes. We have invited Dr. xx, Dr. xx, xx..." A bunch of names that Zach didn't care about, "Doctor Grande, you are also a leader in the field, We felt Mr. Grande would be willing to participate in such a..."
Zach interrupted again, "Why invite an outsider to share your milestones? Is it because of the last name Grande?"
There’s nothing to be ashamed of, the doctor from Vega City called! Vega City! The city that was once directly led by Lutrecenbra!
"Uh..." Sure enough, the other party was choked for a moment.
Zach continued, "It's because tomorrow, the vampire Toledo will set off from Barton to the west to receive part of the rights of the Sabbat society."
Now, I take back my previous comment about Derek’s life being boring. The life of Grande’s human brother is not boring at all!
On the other side of the receiver, he hesitated and finally said, "Yes... yes. Doctor Grande, we..."
"I'm not Dr. Grande." Zach wanted to correct the other party's misunderstanding, "I'm Zachary Toledo."
"You are... To, Toledo..." There was no sound on the other side of the receiver, except for a bunch of rapid but suppressed breathing.
Zach doesn't have time to waste time here with these doctors. Zach has more important things to do. Well, these doctors also have more important things to do.
"I must disappoint you. My brother is unwilling to participate in your milestone." Trashcan, no need to explain more, "Do you have anything else to say to me? Doctor."
Still no sound from the receiver.
"Then, see you when you have the chance." Zach was about to hang up the phone.
"Wait, wait a minute! Mr. Toledo, we..."
Zach is waiting, upbringing. But the other party and we were silent again. Zach frowned and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"T-Toledo, do you hate our doctors, or even the entire medical system?!"
Unexplainable question.
Zach curled his lips and said, "Why do you ask that?"
"Because!" The over-excited one pauses poorly, "About the organ sharing system! There are rumors in the West that Toledo didn't like the organ system being abused, so he forced General Lance to take the lead in interrupting the vampire blood trade!"
Zach's mouth twisted. What the other party said was actually wrong. Zach didn't dislike the upper class people in the West abusing the organ sharing in the medical system. What he didn't like was the people who were abused and plundered. Zach had never expressed his preference. What Zac did was just go to the funeral home and try his best to regain the last dignity for those bodies that had been robbed until nothing was left.
The person who forced General Lance to end the blood deal with vampires was the general's son James, not Zach. The two things are indeed related, because General Lance also abused the organ sharing system and obtained a younger heart. Being able to be successfully threatened by James to cut off and trade vampire blood in order to prevent the leakage of vampire blood was the reason why the general was caught by James' reporter wife.
But to an outside observer, this is correct. Zach has an indelible mark on both.
Zach didn't want to explain to an outsider, "I don't hate you." Zach also felt it, and the other person was afraid, "My brother Derek is a doctor, and I also worked as a doctor for a period of time (pretending). I don't Hate the medical system." There is no need to make unrelated people fear you. This is not Toledo's habit of 'using' power. "But Derek and I both believe that the human medical system can be better." This is what Zach said for Derek said. Do you still remember how uncomfortable Derek was when he encountered institutional abuse because of his own patients? These doctors in the West are the source of the abuse of the system. Hmm, who would believe it if they were said to be completely innocent and just poor people being exploited by the powerful.
The breathing on the other side of the receiver was a little chaotic, some were more relaxed, and some were more rapid.
From the person on the receiver calling themselves 'we', we know that no one is paying attention to this call. No matter what these Vega doctors try to use this case to get from Derek, Derek has already expressed his opinion. After getting out of the trash can, Zach finally said what he wanted to say for Derek. Next, since Zach picked up this case by 'coincidence' and answered the phone call, it would be a dispute between these doctors and Toledo. thing.
"Is there anything else you want to talk to me about?" Zach's choice of words was already very considerate.
"No, no more." This time, the other party said goodbye, "Yes, I will have the opportunity to meet Mr. Toledo in Vega."
"Yeah." Zach hung up.
The idea of using Toledo's power to ask these doctors to give up this milestone in medical progress did not even occur in Zach's mind. Because, what is the use of lifting something that is unstoppable? It is a waste of energy.
