A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 153 Hosea is old
As soon as the group of people who took Hosea to the doctor arrived outside the town of Rhodes, Hosea woke up leisurely. He opened his eyes, looked at the moving clouds above his head, and then looked at Tilly beside him. He asked weakly:
"what happened?……"

When Tilly heard that Hosea had woken up, she excitedly shouted to Lenny and John who were driving the carriage:

"He's awake!"

"Hosea, are you okay?"

"We're going to town. Is there something wrong with you?"

Facing Lenny and John's questions, Hosea frowned. He clearly remembered that he was arguing excitedly with Dutch one moment, and the next second the world was spinning and his vision went dark. It seemed that he had fainted. He struggled and tried to I sat up, but felt weak all over, as if I couldn't control my body.

Hosea tried again anxiously, but it still didn't work. He had to turn his head and asked Tilly blankly:
"What's wrong with me? Help me..."

Tilly quickly helped Hosea and asked him to sit up. She said in a comforting tone:
"It's okay. You just fainted suddenly. How do you feel now?"

"I don't have the strength..." Hosea said blankly.

He dare not say that he is now accustomed to this old body. To be honest, every time he sees the old man in the mirror, he still asks himself, who is this old guy?
However, now he can't control his body, which makes him even more scared. Will he always be like this in the future?

Tilly looked at Hosea, who looked panicked and was still trying to sit up on his own, and she kept comforting him:

"It's okay, calm down, don't worry, Hosea, we will take you to the doctor right away."

……

Outside the hospital in Rhodes Town.

Tilly was accompanying Hosea to be examined by the doctor inside, while Lenny and John were standing outside the house smoking cigarettes with unhappy expressions.

Lenny looked at John who was pacing back and forth and said:
"John, calm down."

"How can you tell me to calm down? Hosea has almost watched me grow up, he is like my father!" John replied irritably.

In his heart, John kept blaming himself. He really shouldn't have listened to Abigail and told Hosea what he had done with Dutch before. If it weren't for this, Hosea wouldn't have gone to find him. Dutch, let alone become what he is now.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" John kept complaining to himself.

Lenny stepped forward and grabbed John and said:

"Hey? I'm as anxious and worried as you are, but it's no use being like this right now, right?!"

"What do you know? How long have you been with us?" John said harshly, and then he shook off Lenny's hand and continued:
"You don't understand anything at all, don't try to persuade me here hypocritically!"

Lenny realized that he seemed to be angered by John, and he did not tolerate John. He directly grabbed John's collar, and then pressed John against the doorpost. He said:

"Listen! Hey! Calm down! Hosea takes care of me like a father to me. I understand how you feel. This is not your fault, okay?"

After saying this, Lenny looked directly into John's eyes. After making sure that he had indeed listened, he let go of John in a sultry voice.

John straightened his collar, and the two of them were silent for a moment, both of them thinking about Dutch's intriguing attitude.

Finally Lenny spoke first and said:
"I don't think Hosea is fit to stay in the camp any longer."

"What do you mean?" John asked in a bad tone.

Lenny looked at John as if he had misunderstood, and continued to explain:
"You may not have paid attention to his health. After all, you have been away from the camp recently. Hosea's health is getting worse. My tent is not far from his. It is difficult for him to fall asleep every night, and he cannot sleep for long. He would get up and cough... I think it's time for Hosea to take a rest, and I hope he can go find Arthur." John wanted to refute Lenny's words. After all, in John's memory, Hosea had always been tall. Yes, but just now when I was watching the doctor unbuttoning Hosea's shirt for examination, his thin body and clear ribs...

It seems that not only is Hosea getting old, but his health is indeed not as good as before.

Thinking about this, John finally said:
"...Hosea, he won't agree to it."

"So, will you help me persuade him?" Lanny asked. He knew what John said, but he still believed that his own idea was right, so he would definitely persuade Hosea.

Although it may not be easy to convince Hosea, it depends on people.

Moreover, Dutch's attitude towards Hosea made Lenny feel chilled.

If necessary, Lenny would leave with Hosea and join Arthur.

John looked at Lenny who looked serious, and thought about the scene he just saw inside, and Dutch... He finally agreed:

"I'll help you."

……

Arthur and Charlie did not stay in the office for long, as he and Vera said, he had a lot to do when he came to Rhodes Town this time.

The first thing is to capture Anders Anderson, and then destroy the Anderson Gang to avenge Black.

"Huh? The Anderson Gang? Mr. Callahan, why are you asking?" Archibald asked in confusion.

Although Archibald didn't know why Arthur asked, he still told him the news he knew.

After all, this is not important news. Archibald thought for a while and then said:
"Not long ago, Chief Gray and I caught them, but they accidentally ran away on the way back to the police station. Their previous stronghold was hidden in the old Greenbank Mill. Now, is it still possible? I don’t know where it is, but you can still bring more people to try your luck?”

"Thank you, please tell me the location of the old Greenbank Mill." Arthur asked politely.

Seeing Arthur looking like he was going alone, Archibald frowned and said:

"You don't want to go alone, do you?"

"No."

"That's good, let me tell you..."

"There's another one."

"? Are you serious? I don't think you know how troublesome these people are. We were able to catch them just because of good luck. When they were alone, I don't think you were ready to go. They seem to be discussing business with them. In this case, I strongly recommend that you bring more people with you when you go to find trouble with them." Archibald said seriously.

"Ah, by the way, if you don't have enough manpower, I can lend you some. There happens to be a wanted notice for Anders Anders here. How about it? Do you need it?"

Arthur rejected Archibald's suggestion and simply asked:
"Is Patriarch Gray free recently? If it's convenient, say hello for me. I want to visit him."

"Okay, I'll ask for you. Come on, here's the map. I've circled the location for you."

After receiving the map from Archibald and rejecting his offer to lend him again, Arthur took only Charlie, and the two rode on their horses and set off towards Old Greenbank Fort.
