A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 155 Diagnostic Results
Arthur is in Rhodes' office.

Lenny, John, and Sean were smoking on the sofa, and Tilly stayed in the clinic.

When Arthur came back with Charlie, several people in the office were keenly aware of the blood stains on Arthur's body. Although it didn't appear to be his blood, the amount still made everyone think.

"Arthur? What are you..."

"Vera, why are you still here? Didn't you agree to go back to Valentine?" Arthur frowned and interrupted Vera's question. He saw other people in the office, and he didn't even need to ask. He could already guess that something must have happened again. It just so happened that Arthur also wanted to ask what happened in the tavern in Rhodes Town.

Arthur said:

"Lanny, John, Sean, tell me, what made you three come here to wait for me."

Lenny glanced at John and Sean and spoke first:

"Arthur, it's Hosea, he's in the town's clinic now..."

"?, he said as he walked, I'll go take a look." Arthur didn't hesitate. After speaking, he turned around and headed towards the clinic in the town, and the few people in the room had no choice but to follow.

In the clinic, Hosea was lying on the bed, and Tilly was sitting beside his bed. Seeing Arthur coming with people, Tilly stood up and said:
"Don't worry, Arthur, Hosea is fine."

Arthur's current look almost had the word "anxiety" written on his face, and it's no wonder that Tilly said so when she opened her mouth.

After greeting Tilly again, Arthur came to the bedside. Hosea was looking at him with a smile. Arthur said:

"So, what is going on? You are still laughing. They say you are old and an old guy. Why don't you listen? There are so many young people in the camp. What are you doing? Did you do this yourself?"

Hosea smiled a lot more when he heard Arthur's seemingly accusatory but actually caring words, and then he said:
"You brat, you're rude, you old guy? I don't remember how I taught you this. Okay, it's not a big deal, it's just them making a fuss, I just got excited and fainted."

In the heat of the moment?Arthur did not ask Hosea what he was excited about. Instead, after complaining a few words and making him worry in vain, he let him rest here and told him not to rush back to the camp. .

After finishing speaking, Arthur immediately went to find the doctor at the clinic. After pulling the doctor outside the house, he asked:
"Doctor, tell me the truth, what is his physical condition?"

The doctor hesitated because Hosea had specifically told him not to tell anyone else.

Arthur looked at the doctor's hesitation and said angrily:

"Doctor, do you think I look like a good person?"

"Huh?" The doctor looked puzzled. Arthur continued to point to the blood stains on the clothes he had not yet changed out of and said:
"Do you see clearly? I just cut off a man's hands and listened to him scream miserably, eventually bleeding to death. So when I ask you a question, I hope you can tell me honestly and happily. , instead of asking me to ask you a second time, do you understand?"

Facing Arthur's threat, the fat doctor nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He hurriedly returned:

"Ming, I understand. This patient said he had asthma. I asked him about his symptoms in detail, including coughing, occasionally blood in the cough, and chest pain... I observed him for a while and found that he also had stridor. Let me judge... Of course, this is not accurate. If conditions permit, I suggest you go to large hospitals in other states to have another look. I can only make a preliminary judgment, this is probably tuberculosis..." Listen After the doctor finished speaking, the word tuberculosis hit Arthur's head like a big pendulum.

how could be?

Seeing that Arthur was now lost and without the ferocious look before, the doctor still spoke to persuade:
"Don't... Well, I know a patient who was also suspected of tuberculosis. Why do I say suspected? Because the external symptoms are indeed very similar, but they are different. In the end, he lived well for more than ten years. , if he hadn’t been beaten to death for burglary, I think he might have lived longer than me? So, my suggestion is, if you have the conditions, you can go find a better doctor."

"Thank you for your comfort." I have to say that the doctor's words comforted Arthur anyway.

The doctor continued:

"I have already given him an injection, and then I will prescribe you some medicine to relieve the cough. The most important thing is that I also told him, and I would like to emphasize to you that you are his son, right? You must Let the patient rest well and don't overwork himself."

Arthur did not deny what the doctor said. He nodded to show that he understood.

The doctor seemed to have opened a conversation box and continued:
"Also, don't let your two servants run around. Most people in the town don't have the same opinions on their skin color as I do."

Arthur understood that he had mistaken Tilly and Lenny for servants. Arthur did not explain much. After thanking the doctor again, Arthur did not rush into the house. Instead, he asked the doctor to help him put Lenny and John into the house. Called out.

"How's it going, Arthur? What's going on with Hosea?"

Arthur did not return to Lenny's question, but asked seriously:

"Tell me what happened."

Lenny looked at John and saw that he turned his head to one side, so Lenny told Arthur the whole thing, but Lenny didn't know why Hosea and Dutch had a quarrel.

Because John only told Hosea about this, and Hosea went directly to Dutch after hearing it, so others still didn’t know the good things that Dutch and John had done.

After listening, Arthur nodded, then turned to look at John and said:

"Marston, tell me, I can tell you must know something from the way you look."

John heard Arthur calling him Marston, but he didn't understand that Arthur was already angry. Just like Arthur knew John very well, John also knew Arthur's habits very well. Under Arthur's continuous questioning , John finally failed to resist and confessed honestly.

After listening to this, Arthur really felt that sooner or later he would be pissed to death by John, an idiot. From what he recounted, John had vaguely sensed that something might not be right, but he still followed Da. Qi continued.

"What do you want me to say about you? Marston, sooner or later you will be killed by your own stupidity!" Arthur poked John's head and said.
