Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World - Chapter 236: Boss, could you please speak? (1)

Vivian was taken aback when she heard Adolf’s self-introduction, her eyes visibly lighting up.

Adolf, the Grand Elder of the Physician Association, was truly a living legend!

He was widely recognized in the medical community as a genius, mastering numerous healing techniques and having saved the lives of many important figures. His extraordinary medical skills earned him great admiration.

Even Vivian, who was his teacher at the Imperial Medical Academy, held a deep respect for Master Adolf and had expressed her admiration for him in class on more than one occasion.

And now, this legendary figure was standing right in front of her, alive and well, and he even wanted to take her as his disciple?

Vivian wasn’t overwhelmed by happiness; instead, she calmed down like she had been hit on the head. She firmly shook her head and said, “I’m sorry, Master Adolf, but I want to continue working at the clinic. I cannot become your apprentice.”

Adolf’s smile froze instantly, and he looked at Vivian in disbelief, asking, “Why? With your talent and my careful guidance, your future is promising. It wouldn’t be impossible for you to surpass me.”

He never expected to be rejected.

With his status and reputation in the medical field, countless geniuses would yearn to study under him every year.

Charlotte let out a sigh of relief.

This girl might not be very smart most of the time, but at critical moments, she could see things.

“It seems… it’s her,” Jacques became more convinced that his speculation was correct.

The extraordinary talented girl in front of him must be Vivian, who had run away from the Lancelot Empire. That’s why she stubbornly declined the invitation to become her teacher.

Recalling the scene when he heard the news that Adolf was willing to take him as his disciple, Jacques couldn’t contain his excitement and rolled on the ground. He truly couldn’t remain calm.

“Because…” Vivian’s gaze swept around the clinic and finally landed on Charlotte.

Her eyes darted anxiously, and suddenly, a flash of realization crossed her face. She pointed at Charlotte and said, “Because I’m carrying his child. I can’t let the child be born without a father.”

“Ah?!”

This time, it wasn’t just Adolf who was shocked.

Even Louise and Betty, who had already reached the door, couldn’t help but stop in their tracks.

Louise had a face of anticipation, while Betty looked at Charlotte with a condemning gaze.

Charlotte was also stunned. What was this sudden turn of events about becoming a father? Even if this girl couldn’t find an excuse, she shouldn’t joke about his innocence like that!

“Well…” Kasha was also shocked, looking at both Charlotte and Vivian with a complex expression.

Wasn’t she the first one to say something?

“Boss, say something,” Vivian lightly pushed the bewildered Charlotte.

With her petite figure, delicate face, and soft voice, Vivian easily established the image of Charlotte as a lecherous boss.

In their minds, they had already imagined how this petite and cute girl was forced by Charlotte at such a young age to already be carrying a child.

Adolf’s face visibly turned cold.

“Speak? Record a statement?” Charlotte’s face was filled with frustration. He couldn’t believe that Vivian, the sixth member of their group, had put him in such a difficult situation. It felt like she was pushing him into a pit of fire.

“No, listen to me…let me explain. It’s not what you think,” Charlotte tried to salvage his image.

“Boss, are you trying to back out of your responsibilities? Have you forgotten about that night…” Vivian sniffled, blinked her eyes, and put on a tearful expression, resembling an ignorant girl betrayed by a scumbag.

Charlotte: ┓( ´∀` )┏

“Tell us, what about the child?” Adolf looked at Charlotte, resembling a teacher fighting for justice for his precious disciple.

“I’ve told you numerous times, that there can be no child from working late together to refine potions,” Charlotte and Vivian said seriously.

Then, Charlotte looked at Adolf with a hint of helplessness and said, “Master, can’t you investigate whether she is pregnant? I’m not a pervert. How could I do something like that to a child?”

“But… I’m not a child anymore…” Vivian weakly protested.

Upon hearing this, Adolf raised his hand and performed a spell, a faint green light entered Vivian’s Abmen.

Only then did his expression soften, and he awkwardly nodded.

“She is indeed not pregnant. I’ve wrongly accused you.”

“You…” Adolf looked at Vivian with a mix of speechlessness and reluctance to say harsh words, afraid of scaring away this rare talent they had finally found.

The others breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Charlotte had just established a tall image in their eyes, which almost collapsed.

“This child lacks common sense. I will teach her in the future,” Charlotte took over the conversation.

“But as you can see, she doesn’t want to go to Calva with you and become your apprentice. Let’s forget about this matter.”

“But…” Adolf was still unwilling to give up.

“Master, certain things cannot be forced. I see a long line of patients waiting outside, let’s not delay Charlotte’s consultations. We can talk in detail another day when you have time,” Jacques quickly approached and held onto Adolf, subtly signaling to him.

Reluctantly, Adolf had to temporarily give up. With a flash of his spatial ring, he produced a string of pendants and two magic charms, handing them to Vivian. “Just a small gift, consider it a present for our meeting. Think it over, I’ll come back in a few days.”

“This…” Vivian wanted to refuse.

Charlotte, smiling, accepted the gifts on her behalf, and said, “You’re too kind, Master. I’ll keep them for her. Take care on your way.”

“Take good care of her. She’s still a child,” Adolf told Charlotte, his tone carrying a hint of warning.

“Don’t worry, our medical clinic offers good benefits to our employees,” Charlotte replied with a smile.

Betty opened the door, and the group left.

Charlotte closed the door and couldn’t contain his smile.

“Boss, wasn’t my performance impressive just now?” Vivian gloated.

“Impressive? You almost got me into trouble! Remember, you must never use such excuses again. It tarnishes my reputation, and how am I going to find a wife in the future?” Charlotte rolled his eyes.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted; otherwise, he would never be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the River.

“Okay,” Vivian nodded meekly, not fully understanding the gravity of the situation. She then asked curiously, “But since I’m not becoming Master Adolf’s apprentice, why did you accept his present?”

“Because presents from a ninth-level expert are genuinely enticing,” Charlotte handed her the three items one by one.

“This white jade pendant should conceal your magic level. Once you wear it, you won’t have to worry about being identified as a mage, minimizing the risk of being discovered by the Capas. These two are level-five magic charms—one is an Ice Lock spell, and the other is a reusable Protective Shield charm. They are both excellent life-saving items.”

The white jade pendant was also thumb-sized and spherical, similar to the black stone that was given to him. However, the engraved patterns were different, suggesting that it was for concealing the magic level.

Charlotte understood Adolf’s intentions. Even if they failed to take Vivian on as his apprentice today, he wanted to hide this precious gem to prevent anyone else from seizing the opportunity and gaining an upper hand.
