Chapter 1693 Negotiation
After getting up the mountain, they quietly went back to Southridge.
Zachary began his treatment while Bruce, Marino, and others accompanied him. They were anxious when Francesco pierced his body with needles and released some blood.
Everyone only saw Zachary when he returned with his recovered body, but none of them knew the amount of suffering he had endured.
The torture was inhumane. It wasn’t something anyone could endure. It was as if he walked through into gates of hell and dragged his scarred and bloodstained body out, one step at a time.
The treatment lasted for an hour and a half. Although Zachary was sweating from the pain, he didn’t make a sound. He remained calm and courageous.
Francesco treated him casually with ease, as though her patient wasn’t a living being but a lifeless object.
Her hand movements were skilled and a little aggressive, not knowing how to be gentle.
Bruce got anxious as he watched. He couldn’t hold it in any longer and said, “Dr. Felch, please be gentle. Please be gentler!”
When he said it the first time, Francesco frowned. After hearing it for the second time, she got angry and said, “You’re so noisy. Get out!”
Bruce was startled. He didn’t dare to let out another sound.
Marino hurriedly limped out and hid behind the door to peek.
At half past seven, the treatment finally ended.
Francesco dragged the unconscious Zachary to immerse him in a tub of medicine. Then, she dusted her hands and went out. Before leaving, she told Bruce, “After half an hour, get him out of the tub and wipe him dry. Then he may leave.”
“Okay. Understood.”
Bruce hurriedly nodded. He was terrified of Francesco, afraid that he might get on her nerves again.
Francesco leaped out the window and ate an apple on the hammock.
She never played with electronics, nor did she watch TV. Her only hobbies were sleeping, eating, and talking to small animals.
At this moment, many birds flew over to her side to eat the apple core she had discarded.
At the same time, she had a great time chatting with the birds.
Soon, an hour passed.
