"Sorry, did I disturb you?"
The door to the training classroom for interns was slightly opened, and a head was poked in.
Virgil looked over and saw that it was Alluka.
The time when she was arranged to enter the hospital for internship was not much different from her own.
Compared with himself, Alluka's status in the hospital was much more embarrassing. Although she is from the Faust family, everyone knows that she is an illegitimate daughter. This identity is destined not to be favored by the Faust family, otherwise they would not arrange a marriage with the Delon family. In other words, the Faust family has long been prepared to sacrifice her. She is just the relationship between Daeron and Faust. It's just a pretense for the two major families of Shide to maintain false peace.
Therefore, Virgil discovered that his future husband, the legitimate daughter of the Faustus family, actually received more attention and favor from doctors than Lucia, the concubine.
"Well, Miss Alluka, what's the matter?" Obviously, facing Alluka, William was not as enthusiastic as before.
"I, I was listening to your explanation just now. I have some questions. I can ask...Doctor William? Please."
After all, she is a Faustian lady, so she still has to give her face. William then asked: "What do you want to ask?"
"I don't quite understand something about abyssal invasion. In fact, a few days ago I visited the autopsy process of a patient with secondary abyssal invasion. I..."
"I'm sorry." William shook his head and said, "The vice-dean told me. There is no need to teach you the knowledge about abyss invasion for the time being."
"Doctor William, I, I want to study hard. In the future, my ambition is to become a chief physician like my brothers and sisters..."
"I dare not disobey the vice-president's order. Miss Alluka, please leave."
Alluka's face looked a little ugly. In the end, he could only sigh and close the door.
William then looked at Virgil and said, "Oh, she didn't understand it at all. After she married into the Daeron family, the Faust family no longer expected her to come back alive."
"This..." Virgil was very surprised when he heard this: "There is no way to come back alive?"
"She is just a fool." William shook his head and said, "She actually thinks that the Faust family treats her sincerely and can make her truly a member of the family. Everyone knows that Darren and Faust Only one family can survive, and all the blood of the loser will be killed, leaving no one alive."
"Is it really that cruel..."
"Yes." William said very seriously: "We, the Dark Magic Surgery Department, are the faction of the Faust family. That's why I say these things to you. Since you will enter the Faust family in the future, you must keep it in mind Come on, you now have a life-and-death relationship with the Dai Lun family."
Virgil looked towards the door. At this time, he felt a little sympathy for Alluka.
At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Klein has given him a mobile phone that can communicate within the hospital. This mobile phone can also communicate across space, as well as across the real world and within the hospital.
Virgil answered Klein's cell phone and said, "Hello..."
"Listen. Tonight, I will arrange for Alluka to patrol the corridors of the hospital with you."
"Um?"
"Then, take Alluka to the place where you met... last time. You know what I mean, right?"
Of course Virgil understood the meaning of what he omitted, but he still said: "But, after all, I am just an intern doctor..."
"I will arrange for Alluka to bring a charm to assist you. With this charm, I can ensure your survival."
"Spell? Why don't you just give it to me?"
"The use of this cursed object must meet two conditions. First, it must have the blood of my Faust family, and secondly, using this cursed object will be life-threatening. Therefore, Alluka is the most suitable. "
Hearing this, Virgil could hardly believe his ears.
"Klein, did I hear you correctly? The second point you just said is... using this curse will be life-threatening?"
"Yes, it's a side effect of the curse's backlash. Of course, it's just a possibility, not an absolute."
"So let Aluka...she, she is your sister..."
"Half-sister. Her mother is just the lowest woman in the slums. She was just lucky enough to be favored by her father and become his mistress."
Virgil took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "No, no matter what, I..."
"Your life is much more precious than Aluja. I have already explained this matter to Aluja, including of course the risks and side effects of using spells."
"Did you really explain the risks to her?"
"Virgil." Klein's voice gradually became colder: "I have always been so polite to you. Did it give you some misunderstanding? I am the eldest son of the Faust family and the deputy dean. The son of Mephis Faust. What I mean is what my father means. In this hospital, Mephis Faust’s will will be absolutely implemented. What I just said is not It’s a discussion with you, but an order.”
Virgil clutched the phone tightly and asked that sentence again.
"Lelia, does she also...mean this?"
He absolutely didn't believe it, and Lelia thought so too.
"That's what I meant."
But at this moment, Lelia's voice came from the phone: "Virgil, for me, family interests are above all else. What's more, this is also related to the whereabouts of my sister Mary."
"Aluka is also your sister..."
"Half-sister." Lelia said the exact same words as Klein without thinking: "Tonight, we hope to get further clues. Klein and I will be responsible for the coordination. Yalu Jia herself also agreed, and she promised to devote herself to the interests of our Faust family."
Family interests are above all else...
yes.
Virgil knew that the real reason why Lelia was willing to marry him was for the benefit of the family.
"Is Aluka doing it for the family's benefit? She is doing it for..."
"Family? Family? It doesn't matter, it's all the same concept. If the Faust family fails, the Daeron family will kill every member of our family, including her. Sacrifice for the interests of the family is what she should do. "
Virgil recalled that on the university campus, he was comforted by Lelia because he was unwilling to join in the same trap with the students. At that time, he had no relatives or friends. Lelia was the only white moonlight to him.
"I ask you again, Lelia, do you really think so?"
On the other end of the phone was Lelia, her decisive tone: "Yes. That's what I think."
Later, when Virgil held the wedding ceremony with Lelia, when the priest asked "Are you willing?", Lelia's "yes" tone was the same as now.
For Lelia, she has no personal likes, dislikes, loves and hates, everything is just for the Faust family.
And she has no sisterly feelings towards Alluka Faust. Perhaps the same is true for her half-sister Mary. Or, in her opinion, her sister, who has always advocated the peaceful coexistence of the two families, is someone who goes against the interests of the family.
"I understand. Since this is your idea, then...I accept it."
His hand lowered slowly.
Everything is for the benefit of the family...but the person who said this chose his sister to sacrifice for the family.
Lelia has always been like this, so calm, so elegant, so noble, but now it seems that there is... a trace of cruelty behind it.
But even after Virgil knew this, he found... that he still loved her.
Loving someone sometimes has nothing to do with that person's goodness or evil.
