Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Is it reliable?" Although Kohler is Ruby's good friend.

However, because he knew Ruby, Kohler expressed doubts about Ruby's so-called ointment.

Ruby has always had an unreliable image in the public mind.

That's because I don't know Ruby well.

Anyone who really knows Ruby will never think that Ruby is unreliable.

He is more than just unreliable.

Just a nonsensical idiot.

He once went so far as to beg a wizard in order to win an important game the next day.

I spent a full 100,000 US dollars, but still lost the game the next day.

As a result, he went straight to smash up the wizard's place. (This is a real case, but the name is different.)

In the end, we went to the police station. Although this matter was not exposed to a large extent.

But many players in the circle know this.

So Kohler's feeling about Ruby is that he can be a friend, but not trustworthy.

Because most of the time Ruby helped her friends with a very sincere attitude, but in the end she always cheated her friends.

"You know the last time I fought Duke."

Kohler nodded: "I know."

"A Chinese doctor came here at that time, and it was he who cured Duke and I's injuries, and also sold me this bottle of ointment." Ruby said: "He said that no matter what kind of injury, as long as you use this ointment, it will definitely be cured. "

"real?"

"Really." Ruby boasted seriously.

"Let's give it a try." Kohler thought Ruby was unreliable, but most of the time he himself had a similar personality.

Ruby opened the bottle and wiped it on Khloe's shoulders.

"Hiss...it feels so comfortable, phew..." Kohler's whole body trembled.

It was so comfortable, especially after the injury, the feeling it brought about made Kohler obsessed with this feeling.

The cool touch penetrates into the skin, but it is not as irritating as some drugs.

There seemed to be something slowly intertwining at his injured location.

Fills the injured area and moisturizes the skin.

"Huh... so comfortable... so comfortable." Kohler felt so comfortable that he almost fell asleep.

However, the whistle at the end of the game brought him back to reality.

Kohler showed a hint of disappointment when he saw the final score.

Although the result has been known for a long time.

But seeing such a score, he still couldn't accept it.

The final score difference reached 22 points.

Simpson came over and said, "Kohler, let's go, I'll take you to the hospital."

Kohler walked out of the arena with the help of staff.

Thirty minutes later, Kohler and Simpson arrived at the hospital.

Under Simpson's arrangement, Kohler quickly checked.

Then I went to see an orthopedic surgeon.

"Mr. Kohler, your situation is not optimistic." The orthopedic surgeon said, "Your shoulder blade has a severe contusion, soft tissue has fallen off, and there is a blood mass. By the way, did you take an anesthetic before?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"It's strange. The pain index for such an injury should be very high. Why don't you feel any pain at all?"

"Well, my brother put some pain-relieving ointment on me before."

"Really, what brand of ointment is it? Generally speaking, only anesthetics can temporarily relieve your pain, but your injury doesn't seem to cause you any pain at all."

"Doctor, can you first tell us about Kohler's current condition, treatment process, and recovery period." Simpson couldn't help but interrupt the doctor's question.

"Okay." The doctor looked at Kohler: "Lift your left arm now and see how high you can lift it."

Kohler straightened his arm, and the doctor was a little surprised: "You are so seriously injured, but you don't feel any pain at all?"

"It's going to hurt a little bit," Kohler said.

"Just a little pain?" The orthopedic doctor was still confused: "If the nerve is injured and regional paralysis occurs, it should be a soreness and numbness. But you feel pain, but it doesn't hurt very much. It's so strange. , Mr. Kohler, do you want a neurological examination?"

"Yes," Simpson replied on behalf of Khloe.

Half an hour later, the neurological examination report came out.

The orthopedic surgeon took the examination report and read it carefully.

There's nothing wrong with it, it all looks normal.

"Doctor, my injury seems to be starting to hurt...it's getting more and more intense." Kohler started to feel pain again.

"What pain does it feel like?"

"A tingling, tingling sensation."

"That's right. It seems that my analysis is correct. It may be that your nerves were temporarily paralyzed before, so you didn't feel much pain. Now the pain nerves are reacting."

"Doctor, I'm in pain now, what are you happy about?"

"Forehead……"

"Doctor, please give me medicine and treatment as soon as possible."

"Your injury is difficult to treat." The doctor looked embarrassed again.

"Why is it difficult to treat?"

"We need to have surgery to drain the blood from your shoulder and repair your shoulder blade."

"How long is the recovery period?"

"Three months."

"Is there no way to speed it up?" Simpson's face looked more painful than Kohler's.

The HR team he leads has performed quite well this season. It is already halfway through the preseason and now ranks second in the league.

We are only four points away from first place, and if we are lucky, we can catch up with first place in two games.

But if Kohler is missing, let alone catching up to the first place, the second place may not be guaranteed.

"No matter what, give me pain relief first, I'm in so much pain."

"Mr. Kohler, this is the most troublesome part. You need to bleed now, and you can't use anesthesia."

"But I'm in great pain now." Kohler's face became increasingly painful.

"Mr. Kohler, if you want to recover quickly, you can only endure it."

"Okay, when can I have surgery?"

"Tomorrow night at the earliest?"

"What? Are you saying that I have to endure this pain all day and night?"

"In fact, not only during the day and night, but also during the operation and after the operation, there is no anesthesia, only painkillers." said the orthopedic surgeon.

"Prescribe some painkillers now. I really can't stand it anymore. I feel like I'm going crazy."

Khloe was quickly admitted to the hospital, but because the injury was on his shoulder, he couldn't lie down and could only lie on the bed.

It was impossible to sleep in this position, and the hospital bed was too small. He was almost two meters tall and couldn't put his ankles down.

Coupled with the pain in his shoulder, it was almost driving him crazy.

In the midst of this painful torture, Kohler suddenly remembered the ointment Ruby applied to him in the gym.

Kohler struggled to pick up the phone on the table next to him.

"Ruby, I'm going to die. Do you still have that ointment of yours? I need that ointment. Come to the hospital quickly, hurry up."
