Soon after, a large white iron house came into view, which was four or five times larger than theirs. Looking all the way, it was the largest building that stood out the most, with a clear red cross on the front.
One could tell it was a hospital just by a glance.
"This is Doctor Maniac's hospital, a freak who is wholly devoted to his job. Don't be afraid when you see him later, Gabrielle, because he is crazy only when it comes to his patients. He has no interest in normal people." Rose briefly explained the situation to Gabrielle as she pushed the hospital door open.
Immediately after, a strong disinfectant smell rushed out of the open air and pierced into Gabrielle's nose.
This place was indeed a hospital, but the smell of disinfectant was stronger than any other ordinary hospital she had been to. 'Is this how a doctor wants his hospital to be?' Gabrielle couldn't help but ponder.
"Rose, the doctor you are talking about, is he also a freak in science?" Gabrielle asked as she thought of some doctor characters in science fiction movies. All of those characters share common personality traits, such as being highly intelligent, yet they were also unsociable and independent. They had a mindset that no one could possibly understand, and they preferred to be locked up in a room to do some scientific research alone.
"Haha, a freak in science? Almost. You'll know when you see him..." Rose answered with a chuckle after hearing her comment.
"Who is a freak in science? Rose, you vicious-mouthed woman! You are speaking ill of me in my hospital!" The loud voice filled the air, and a tall white figure appeared in front of them.
Gabrielle saw a clean and handsome face as she raised her eyes and looked over. But his complexion was obviously very white, like that of a vampire who lacked the color of blood for long-time restraint from sunshine.
If it weren't for his white doctor's robe, Gabrielle would not really think he was a doctor. After all, he looked like a patient who had been in the hospital for a long time.
"I didn't say that. Lance and his cousin came to see Bryce. My duty is done here, and next is all your hospital's business. You should be responsible for their affairs here." Rose didn't show any politeness and directly handed Lance and Gabrielle over to Doctor Maniac.
"Alright, you can get out now. I'll take care of them," Doctor Maniac answered in the same indifferent and unfriendly manner.
Gabrielle observed the interactions between the two, free of formality and honey-coated behavior. She felt that the two of them were very good friends to some extent.
"Lance, Gabrielle, Doctor Maniac will take care of you here. I'm leaving. Can you find the way back to your dwelling places?" Rose looked at the two of them and asked.
"Yes, we can. Thank you, Rose." Gabrielle expressed her gratitude.
"Okay then, see you tomorrow. I hope you can have a good memory here." Rose left after saying that.
"Doctor Maniac?" Gabrielle questioned, shifting her gaze from the departing figure of Rose to the young man. The man in front of her looked so young that she couldn't process the fact that he was the medical freak everyone was glorifying. Although Doctor Manic was not necessarily a grey-haired geezer in her estimation, she assumed he would be at least in his forties. In contrast to her assumption, the young Doctor Maniac in front of her amazed her.
"You don't think I'm a doctor?" seeing the look of disbelief in Gabrielle's eyes, Doctor Maniac asked.
His face was pale and had an indifferent expression, which prevented people from probing into his true emotions.
"No, of course not. I'm just a little surprised. You are so young," Gabrielle didn't hesitate and responded directly.
"You think I should be a weird old man in his late years? How ill did Rose speak of me in front of you?" The young doctor spoke out his curiosity.
"Rose didn't say ill about you. Can you take us to see Bryce now?" Gabrielle went straight to the point
since she wanted to meet Bryce as soon as possible, which was her sole reason for coming to Bangkok.
"Let's go. He's on the second floor. Please come with me."
The doctor led the way, followed by Gabrielle and Lance.
