"Yes, yes, the last time I collapsed on the outskirts of this town, it was you, the doctor, who helped me." The middle-aged man rubbed his hands and said, "The reason was due to some bad entanglements. Even if you look at it from the side,

You can understand it, right?"

"I don't know if it's because of your nature as a doctor... Anyway, thank you very much for saving my life."

"Not to mention this, I left before I could properly thank you. I feel very sorry." The middle-aged man said, "I happened to pass by a nearby city, so I came here today to say thank you."

"Okay, come in and have a cup of tea." Lin Xuan nodded and said.

"No, no, I don't intend to stay here, so you're welcome." The middle-aged man took out an envelope from his windbreaker, handed it to Lin Xuan, and said, "Please accept this first... because I didn't have any money at that time.

, unable to afford medical care.”

Although he knew what was inside, Lin Xuan still opened it and took a look.

There is a lot of money in it compared to the medical expenses.

Lin Xuan glanced at him pretending to be confused.

"The extra money should be considered as apology for delaying paying the medical expenses for so long." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Please don't be polite, just accept it."

Lin Xuan nodded and put the envelope away.

"I also brought some other things." The middle-aged man rubbed his hands again and said, "Please keep the rest of the conversation confidential, okay?"

Lin Xuan nodded.

"As expected of you, you are really considerate." The middle-aged man smiled again, then turned to the side and called, "Hey, come here."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, a thin girl with burn marks on her face, hands, and neck came out from the side of the door. She had silver-gray hair and a pair of black-gray pupils.

She was wearing a shabby brown suspender dress.

After she came over, she just stared at Lin Xuan without saying a word, grabbing her other arm with one hand, showing her nervousness at the moment.

"I'm a businessman. Recently, a property owner passed away. But he didn't have any heirs, so basically anyone with some connections would get a share of the pie. I also had some connections, so I got some of the leftovers.

"

After letting the girl come over, the middle-aged man continued to smile and said to Lin Xuan: "Of course, as a price, I was also assigned some difficult things."

"Uh... this guy is one of them." The middle-aged man rubbed his hands, glanced at the girl next to him, gestured, and then continued to say to Lin Xuan: "I am a poor businessman, because 'it can be used'

I sell everything, and my previous business was quite smooth..."

"Slaves and the like are fine if they are strong laborers, but for a brat like this, I can't find a trustworthy buyer right away. If I sell them rashly, I might suffer a loss."

"But I can't invest because of this, so I didn't act rashly in the end. I also thought about getting rid of it or throwing it away... But even I have some conscience and compassion." The middle-aged man said: "It's just me.

When I was thinking about whether there were any good trading partners, I just remembered that a doctor in the city where I now do business saved my life."

"So you came to me?" Lin Xuan said pretending to be unhappy.

"Because doctor, you look the same as you did then, and you still look like you are living alone. Maybe I am meddling, but I think your life should be more or less lonely...?" The middle-aged man turned around again.

He glanced at the girl standing aside, stretched out his hand to signal, and said to Lin Xuan, "Although it's a bit sudden, do you want to take this guy in?"

"...Okay, I accept." Lin Xuan pretended to hesitate for a moment, then nodded and replied.

"Well, you have really done me and her a big favor." The middle-aged man showed a relieved smile, "This guy is a slave without relatives and has no one to rely on. You can let her do housework, or if you are interested in the doctor,

If so, no one will make things difficult for you if you treat her as a toy."

"For the specific situation of this guy, you can ask her directly. Thank you again for your help that day, thank you very much. Then I will leave first..."

The middle-aged man left the girl where she was, took off his hat, gave Lin Xuan a slight salute, and then left.

"Come in with me."

Lin Xuan waved to the girl, took her into the house and closed the door.

"This is the first time we meet. My name is Sylvie. Thank you for taking me in." The girl looked at Lin Xuan timidly and began to introduce herself, "Although I can't do hard work, if you let me do some simple and light chores, I can still do it.

I can do it, but the previous owner said that 'listening to my screams as a pastime is the most valuable way to use it'... Please be merciful."

"Don't worry, I won't do that."
