“You are in a special ward temporarily remodeled by the embassy. The medical team from Somerland has just operated on you so you still need to rest well now,” the beautiful nurse said softly.
Jasper snorted, remembering the vulgar plots from melodramatic television shows, and could not help asking, “I didn’t lose any limbs, right?”
The nurse chuckled and said, “Your injury is the lightest among your group, but you do have some bruises and concussions. The most serious one is the gunshot wound to your chest. But because someone helped you block the bullet, the impact was not too great and struck a relatively good location, so it didn’t even hurt your lungs. It just penetrated the flesh around your chest and back.”
Jasper frowned and asked hurriedly, “How are Gary and Seamus?”
The nurse said, “Are you talking about the two people who protected you?”
“One is okay and has regained consciousness while the other is the person who helped you block the bullet. He was in very critical condition. His surgery lasted for 19 hours and he almost didn’t make it several times. A large bucket of blood has been transfused. Although his life is not in any danger now, experts say that he will definitely not be able to do heavy physical work in the future.”
Jasper exhaled and said, “It’s good enough as long as they’re still alive.”
Those two were his saviors. As long as they were alive, even if they needed someone to take care of them for the rest of their lives in bed, Jasper would give them glory and wealth that they can enjoy whilst lying down. This might be superficial, but it was the simplest and most direct reward Jasper could offer them.
At this time, news of Jasper regaining consciousness had spread.
First, the team of experts came over. After they conducted a comprehensive assessment and inspection of Jasper’s body, they made sure that there were no major problems before they left with peace of mind and Jasper’s gratitude.
Then came a middle-aged man with a calm temperament. His mannerisms were stylish and charming.
Jasper recognized him without any introductions.
In his previous life, this man would go to the United States as a diplomatic ambassador two years later, and then he was promoted to the deputy head of the diplomatic department when he came back. Eventually, right before Jasper was reincarnated, he was already at the top of Somerland diplomacy.
