Chapter 750: Late Night Medical Check-up

After saying this, Shelbert put his hand to his mouth and exhaled.

“It’s nothing. I usually can’t feel it at all. It just looks a little ugly.” Shelbert said indifferently.

“Why don’t you go to the military camp’s medical center to get some medicine?” Bunduk asked.

“Hehe.” Shelbert covered up his smile and said, “I don’t have much money.”

“The salary of the logistics soldiers in the army is quite a lot. Also, I heard from you that your sister is a famous singer in the city. Why would she be worried about such a small amount of money?” Bunduk said with a frown.

“My sister was sent to the restaurant by my father. The money that my sister and I earn now is only to pay off the debt of the family. In order to let my sister get away from there as soon as possible, I have to be more frugal. She will be twenty-one next year. A girl has to get married as soon as possible.” Shelbert looked at the fire in the furnace, his eyes were calm.

“I see.” After hearing this surprising fact, Bunduk could not bear to look at Shelbert and said, “Come to me tomorrow and take some medicine to apply it. I will stay in the military conference hall at noon.”

At this moment, Shelbert was bending over to pat the dust off his pants. After hearing Bunduk’s suggestion, he smiled and replied, “I will go. Thank you, General.”

As he spoke, he walked out of the carriage and took the reins of the horse from Adonis’ hands.

Adonis shook off the fine snow on his shoulders outside the carriage door. He walked into the carriage that was illuminated by the flames and said to Bunduk, “I heard you making a racket outside the door. What did you and the soldier talk about?”

“Nothing much.” Bunduk intended to keep this secret for Shelbert.

“Forget it if you don’t want to talk about it.” Adonis also asked casually, but he didn’t have the intention to probe any further. “When we return to the military camp, you have to obediently go to the clinic to have your body examined to see if your body has been injured.”

“Got it,” Bunduk agreed.

“On the day you returned to the city, I happened to be away from the military camp. I couldn’t pick you up,” Adonis explained. “By the way, I didn’t have the time to ask you. How was your discussion with Commander Derrick?”

Bunduk shook his head and said, “Derrick wanted to stay there all the time. He didn’t have any intention of fighting for the position of commander.”

“I see.” Adonis, who had known Derrick for a short time, was unable to say anything. He could only silently support his decision. “Then, the position of commander will be left to Claremont?”

“Not necessarily. We can’t figure out His Highness’s thoughts. Perhaps Claremont is only one of the preparatory members.” Bunduk analyzed.

“No matter who the new commander is, I will support him.” Adonis suddenly said.

“Hehe.” Bunduk laughed in a relaxed manner and did not say anything.

The carriage slowly drove back to the military camp and stopped in front of the clinic near the training ground.

“Hand the carriage back and go back to rest.” Adonis instructed Shelbert.

“Okay.” Shelbert nodded, then turned to Bunduk and encouraged him, “Commander Bunduk, I wish you good health.”

“Yes.” Bunduk answered with a smile. He waved at Shelbert.

Shelbert got on his horse and left with the carriage.

“It feels like you’ve known each other for a long time.” Adonis complained as he walked towards the door of the clinic.

“It’s interesting to have such a person in the army.” Bunduk said.

Adonis did not bother to reply. He lifted the curtain and shouted into the room, “Mr. Corradi!”

“Here.” an old man in his sixties walked out of the small house.

This doctor had been in the military camp for a long time. It was said that his disciples had almost contracted all the private clinics in Drondheim.

In short, he was a very powerful person. The old man was very respectable, he insisted to come to the medical clinic in the military camp even at his age. In case there were any problems that the younger generation could not solve.

Tonight, it was Adonis who invited him to wait until this time to do a physical examination for Bunduk.

“You haven’t gone back to rest yet?” Bunduk walked into the medical clinic and took a sip of hot tea. He asked Corradi.

“Well, I haven’t been able to sleep recently. I feel more at ease staying in this clinic.” While taking out a pulse belt, Corradi said to Bunduk, who was sitting down.

“I see. You don’t sleep well. Have you thought of a way to treat it?” Bunduk asked with concern.

“It can’t be treated. You’ll know when you’re my age, your body will become like this. However, if you take care of yourself daily, you’ll drag out the time.” Corradi shook his head.

“You’re still young.” Adonis interrupted from the side. “I heard that there’s a medicine from other places called melatonin. It can treat insomnia. Should I ask someone to send some over?”

“No need.” Corradi waved his hand and said, “I’m really worried about the medicine made by others. I can only take the medicine that I made myself.”

“How about this…” Adonis scratched his head and responded.

Corradi tied the pulse belt on Bunduk’s arm and began to measure his pulse.

The physical examination did not end until late at night. Adonis, who was waiting by the side, was also extremely sleepy.

While waiting for the result, Bunduk could not bear to say to Adonis, who was drooling on the sofa, “You should go back earlier. I can wait here alone.”

“What? It’s over?” Adonis heard the sound of others talking. He wiped his face and stood up.

In the end, he saw Bunduk staring at him with a complicated expression.

“Hey, I thought the physical examination was over?” Adonis shook his head and sat down again. “How did you feel when you had the examination?”

“It was alright,” Bunduk replied. “And, actually, you can go back.”

“No, I have to send you back to the barracks,” Adonis refused.

“That’s fine too, but don’t fall asleep again. This old man’s sofa has been dirtied by your saliva,” Bunduk said helplessly.

“Alright.” Adonis wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said confidently.

Not long after, the old man came out with a piece of paper, he said to Bunduk, “There isn’t much problem with your body. However, you still have to pay attention to protect your knees from the cold. I feel that there is a wound on your leg bone. It should be an old wound. You have to pay attention to protect that area.”

After listening to the old man’s advice, Bunduk took the piece of paper and thanked him, “Thank you, old man. You have worked hard. Please rest early.”

“It’s fine,” Corradi replied with a smile. “I still have to wash up, so I won’t send you off.”

“Okay.” Bunduk and Adonis bent over their luggage and replied.

Corradi glanced at them, then turned around and walked into the room.
