Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World - Chapter 197: Wealthy woman pays a fortune for a child
Charlotte nodded and led Montee into the operating room.
Looking at the operating bed that had borne so much of his pain, Montee stood at the entrance of the operating room, his face full of refusal, and tentatively asked, “Today, you won’t file down my teeth again, will you?”
Charlotte put the crown in a metal box, poured a bottle of cleaning solution to sterilize it, and calmly said, “If the base isn’t fitting properly, I’ll have to regrind it.”
Upon hearing this, Montee could already feel his teeth tingling.
“Don’t worry, today we won’t touch the tooth nerve.” Charlotte seemed to sense his concerns.
Upon hearing that, Montee reluctantly walked over and lay down on the operating table.
But when he saw the golden crown in Charlotte’s hand, he couldn’t help but sit up straight, surprised. “How can it be golden? Is it a gold tooth? The difference is too big, isn’t it?”
Looking at the golden pointed teeth in Charlotte’s hand, especially when the light shone on them, they were dazzling and unbelievable.
Even gold coins might not be as shiny.
“It’s not gold, it’s an alloy. It’s much harder than gold and it can easily gnaw on bones,” Charlotte glanced at him, “Most people who want a gold tooth wear fake ones, but your tooth crown is gold-colored and after it’s attached to your teeth, it’s virtually indistinguishable from your original teeth.
And, if you go hunting outside in the future, when you open your mouth, the golden pointed teeth will shine brightly in the darkness.
It won’t be long before there is a golden legend about you on the streets.”
“Golden legend?” Montee frowned and pondered for a moment, feeling somewhat attracted.
“Well, won’t I stand out too much?” he asked.
“I mean, are you vampires some communal species? Do you also eat together? Drink blood together?” Charlotte retorted.
“That’s right! I haven’t seen another vampire in a month,” Montee said with joy, but his smile quickly faded from his face.
“It’s okay, loneliness is something every adult vampire needs to experience,” Charlotte reassured him.
Montee’s expression softened and asked, “Besides patients, how long has it been since you’ve seen a human?”
“Human? It has been quite some time,” Charlotte nodded with a touch of emotion, “The ones I currently live with are just a beast-eared girl and a mermaid girl. You know, beautiful human girls are not common in the abyss.”
“Damn it,” Montee wanted to swear, but he held back.
“Lie down, I’ll start installing your teeth now,” Charlotte said.
Montee obediently lay down, closed his eyes, and opened his mouth.
What else could he do?
His teeth had already been ground into their current state, and no other clinic could take over.
And he had already paid a medical fee of twenty thousand copper coins, which was no small amount for him.
Charlotte first compared the two premolars and Guy’s craftsmanship was indeed commendable. They fit perfectly on the prepared bases.
After disinfecting them again, Charlotte cleaned the bases and used the pre-mixed glue to attach the two premolars.
The glue was a strong adhesive bought from a general store, with excellent adhesion and no toxicity or corrosiveness.
After the glue on the premolars dried, Charlotte began to install the canines for him.
Montee hadn’t fed on blood or eaten anything hard these past two days, so the bases of his teeth were still in good condition.
He spread the glue on the canines, aligned them with the prepared bases, pressed them with his hand for a while, and finally the last canine was installed.
“There we go.” Charlotte turned off the shadowless light, put away the unused glue, and then cleaned his hands.
Montee, who was originally expecting a painful ordeal, blinked in confusion, sat up, and looked at Charlotte.
“Is that it?”
“See for yourself.” Charlotte handed him a small mirror.
Montee opened his mouth in front of the mirror, and the shining brilliance of his gold tooth almost blinded his eyes.
Despite having four sharp teeth visible when he smiled, the spotlight was stolen by that one golden tooth.
However, the size and shape of these sharp teeth were not much different from the other three, appearing natural. The skill involved was truly amazing.
He looked around and saw the iron plate he had bitten into last time. He reached out and grabbed it, and with a snap, he bit into it.
Two rows of clear tooth marks were immediately left on the thick iron plate, including the three newly installed teeth.
Then he picked up a small mirror and took a look. The big gold tooth was still shining brightly, without any signs of wear or scratches.
“Not bad, not bad, the strength is enough,” Montee increasingly liked what he saw. It had already exceeded his expectations.
Although having golden teeth was a bit attention-grabbing, in other words, wasn’t it a kind of fashion?
From now on, whenever he opened his mouth, he would be the most eye-catching vampire in the room.
Especially at some glamorous parties with dazzling lights, his golden tooth would be the center of attention.
As for the two molars, they wouldn’t hinder him from chewing on harder food anymore.
“You did a great job with these teeth,” Montee jumped off the operating table and handed the mirror back to Charlotte, his eyes filled with admiration.
During this time, these sharp teeth had tormented him so much that he couldn’t sleep or eat. When the pain struck, he felt like smashing his head against a wall.
He never expected that he would be cured in such a strange way by Charlotte.
At first glance, this doctor didn’t seem knowledgeable about medical treatment, but her medical skills were much better than those of the medical corps.
“The crowns have been installed, and I offer a one-year warranty for normal usage,” Charlotte wiped her hands clean and looked at Montee.
“Let’s settle the payment. The final amount is 18,000 copper coins.”
The smile on Montee’s face disappeared instantly. He stared at Charlotte in disbelief and exclaimed, “Didn’t I already pay last time?!”
“That was the treatment fee from last time. Now you are paying for this time,” Charlotte calmly explained.
“Isn’t this fraud? How can you charge twice for one tooth?! And a total of 40,000?” Montee said angrily.
“To be precise, it’s 36,000 copper coins for three teeth. Is that price too high?” Charlotte said seriously, “Based on your dental habits and the current condition of your other teeth, they may also experience the same problem in the future. If you think you can find a more suitable doctor to handle it, you can leave now.”
Montee wanted to say something harsh, but hearing this, he held his words back.
Charlotte’s threat was too severe. He asked cautiously, “So, you mean my other teeth will also decay? And they need to be treated in the same way?”
“I just checked for you. The back molar on the left side is slightly darkening and tends to have cavities. Also, your lower left incisor has some cracks and damage. It wouldn’t be surprising if it breaks one day,” Charlotte said, looking at him.
“You should have felt it too, right?”
“I…” Montee took a deep breath and suddenly felt a slight sourness in his left back molar and discomfort in his lower left incisor. His expression instantly became uneasy.
“Should I get them treated now?”
“No need,” Charlotte shook her head.
Montee breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked cautiously, “Is it because the problem is not significant?”
“No, it’s because I don’t want to treat you,” Charlotte said coldly, putting away her instruments.
“You also think my fees are too expensive, so you can leave and find a more suitable doctor.”
“Well…” Montee was confused.
Why did this doctor suddenly become so arrogant?
But when he thought about the painful days he had endured because of that sharp tooth and the fact that another tooth might face the same situation, he immediately became hesitant.
“Why not, Doctor, your medical skills are superb. Your fees are very reasonable. Here is the medical fee for today, consider it an apology for my doubt,” Montee gritted his teeth and took out two gold coins, handing them to Charlotte.
“Alright, I can feel your sincerity,” Charlotte took the two gold coins without hesitation, and her expression eased.
“The current condition of the two teeth doesn’t require surgery yet. Remember to thoroughly clean your teeth every night. This can effectively prevent other teeth from decaying.”
Montee breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, “If there are problems with my other teeth, can I come and see you?”
“No problem,” Charlotte nodded.
Being a dentist seemed quite profitable.
With such high-quality orders, of course, he wouldn’t refuse.
Montee received a satisfactory answer, and a relaxed smile reappeared on his face.
But as he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was a little off.
However, after observing Charlotte up and down for a while, he suddenly stepped closer, lowering his voice, and said, “Doctor, I have a great project. Are you interested in partnering with me?”
“A great project?” Charlotte looked at him with caution.
Montee mysteriously said, “Yes, I have a distant cousin who married a wealthy vampire count.
However, on their wedding night, the vampire count unexpectedly died, leaving behind a huge family business with no heir.
To inherit the family business, she is now offering a large sum of money to find a high-quality male for a child. The child can be either male or female.
You don’t need to go to her; she can come directly to you without any disturbance afterward.
Once the mission is accomplished, you can receive a reward of 1,000 gold coins. Besides, she can also provide financial support for your career development.
I have investigated your background, and your family is of high quality. Your appearance and physique are also excellent, not to mention your outstanding medical skills.
You are the perfect candidate.
If I introduce you, after the mission is accomplished, we can split the commission equally.
What do you think?
And, I can assure you, my distant cousin is an absolute beauty!”
