Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Chapter 158：Own a mermaid maid?

"Kasha?"

Charlotte paused, and Vivian moved aside to let a teenage girl in a gray robe, tightly wrapped, enter the door.

She had a head of golden, wavy hair, a small and delicate face, and a pair of clear and bright blue eyes. She timidly looked at Charlotte.

"Miss Kasha, who lives at 64 Caffell Street in the Sewer?" Charlotte asked unconsciously.

"Yes," the girl nodded, her bright eyes looking at Charlotte, showing some surprise. It seemed that the doctor she saw three months ago was somewhat different now, more masculine and handsome.

Charlotte's expression immediately became strange. If he remembered correctly, this mermaid girl's consultation fee was her virginity, and it was still pending settlement.

So, is she here today to repay him with her precious virginity?

The girl, who was in her twenties, had a small and delicate face, with tender skin that seemed as fragile as a blow.

According to the diary, she should have had a disfigured face and underwent skin graft surgery at this clinic. However, no matter from which angle you looked at her, you couldn't see any trace of surgeryher recovery was quite perfect.

Debts must be repaid, and it's only fair to use one's body if one doesn't have money, right?

This thought only flashed through Charlotte's mind, and he remained very calm.

This mermaid girl lived in the sewer, so she might not be a legitimate fish.

"What can I help you with today?" Charlotte asked, looking at her.

"Yes, I have some health problems and I wanted to seek help from you, Doctor." Kasha nodded with a troubled look.

She bit her lip hesitantly for a while and then mustered the courage to say, "I know I still owe you the payment for the last surgery. If you don't mind, I can pay you today."

As she spoke, the girl began to undress.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Charlotte stood up in surprise.

Vivian quickly closed the door, preventing others from seeing inside.

She opened the tightly wrapped gray robe, which slipped smoothly to the ground.

But what caught the eye was not the beautiful mermaid torso, but a body covered in decomposition and horrifying wounds.

The ice-blue fish tail was covered with black, rotten spots, and some places had even rotted through. From the tail, the body was also covered in decay. Even the full breasts couldn't escape.

A completely decayed body contrasted sharply with her delicate face.

At first glance, an intense sense of discomfort arose.

It reminded him of that popular fantasy drama: The Mermaid in the Sewer.

Then came admiration for the girl's tolerance to pain.

The wounds that covered her entire body were merely painful to look at, but her face remained serene. If she hadn't been born without pain sensitivity, she would have become accustomed to the pain that had tormented her.

There was no such thing as a person who was born without pain in this world, let alone a mermaid who was not a stone person.

"Oh my goodness!" Vivian was also startled, her face filled with pity as she looked at Kasha. She helped her pick up the gray robe from the ground and gently covered her with it.

Charlotte collected himself and looked at Kasha, asking, "What happened?"

He could be certain that when Kasha came to the clinic a few months ago for the facial surgery, there were no issues with her body; otherwise, Charlotte wouldn't have performed the skin grafting procedure on her.

But now, her face was fine, yet her body was having problems.

Moreover, her condition was extremely serious. He had never heard of a skin disease that had decayed to this extent.

"I want to go into the sea," Kasha said, her eyes reddened, speaking softly.

"Into the sea? Well..." Charlotte paused. He had never heard of a Miss Mermaid on Amman Street. It could be a way to make a living due to circumstances, but what does it have to do with her skin?

"But as soon as I come into contact with seawater, my body starts to rot, just like my face did before." Kasha's voice carried a hint of sadness, and tears slid down her cheeks like pearls.

"Ah, you're talking about the ocean!" Charlotte suddenly realized, feeling ashamed of his previous dirty thoughts.

However, she, a mermaid, was allergic to seawater.

"So... you can't go back home?" Vivian looked at her with pity in her eyes.

Kasha nodded, her expression growing even sadder, and she whispered, "A year ago, I encountered a black mist in the sea. When I woke up, I found myself washed into the sewer at 64 Caffell Street, where there is a narrow passage that connects to the ocean.

I felt like my powers were sealed, and it took me over a month to clean up the debris in the passage.

When I eagerly jumped into the seawater, I found that the water, which used to perfectly blend with me, turned into countless blades that sliced open my face and skin.

I could only struggle to crawl back into the sewer, roll on the ground, and shake off the seawater to alleviate the pain. But my face was ruined."

"It seems that the black mist you encountered in the depths of the sea was a big problem," Charlotte pondered, realizing that having a mermaid allergic to seawater was like depriving her of her life.

Moreover, her allergic reaction was too severe, as if being corroded by sulfuric acid, with deep wounds that exposed bone, just looking at it was painful.

"Your face has recovered well. Your body probably wasn't as severely affected at the time. After returning, did you try going into the sea again?" Charlotte looked at her.

"I have to go back." Kasha looked at him, her tone unusually resolute.

Charlotte couldn't understand, "Since you survived a year in the abyss, why do you have to go back? Isn't staying alive the most important thing?"

"I'm becoming weaker, even weaker than when I first came ashore. If I don't go back within three months, I will still die here." She lowered her eyes, her gaze filled with sadness. "And even if I manage to survive, am I going to be a sewer mermaid for the rest of my life? That's even more unbearable than death."

Charlotte fell silent. If he were trapped in the sewer and transformed from a beautiful mermaid into a monster like her, would he be able to say the same words?

Within three months, if Kasha couldn't solve her allergy to seawater, she might die.

No, Charlotte glanced at the pale-faced girl. If her wounds weren't treated in time, she probably wouldn't even last three months.

"Come in, let's go to the operating room to examine your wounds and see if we can do some treatment." Charlotte walked towards the operating room.

Kasha followed him into the operating room, following Charlotte's instructions. She took off her gray robe, and laid flat on the operating table, with her hands folded on her chest, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Charlotte didn't pay attention to her expression because his attention had been drawn to the rotten wounds on her body, and his eyebrows unconsciously furrowed.

Treating a fish was indeed a first for him.

Skin diseases were not uncommon, very common in cats and dogs, but such severe and rotten conditions were the first time he had encountered something like this.

This kind of rot looked more like corrosion, one point after another being corroded, then spreading and festering towards the edges.

Due to the lack of timely treatment, some areas even revealed bones, with an unpleasant smell of decay.

"Do you remember how I operated on your face last time?" Charlotte looked at Kasha's face and asked.

Kasha's expression gradually became fearful, her throat rolled, and she nodded slightly.

"Then tell me! I don't know," Charlotte continued to stare at her.

"I'm not afraid of pain. Even if I have to cut off all the rotten flesh again, I can endure it." Kasha had a look of resignation.

"I guess it needs to be completely removed." Charlotte pondered, aligning with his guess.

But she didn't have any anesthesia during the last operation. The pain during the entire face-changing process could be imagined. No wonder she didn't dare to come back to him after she ended up like this.

"This time, did you bring money?" Charlotte took a bottle of anesthesia from the nearby medicine cabinet and looked at her with a smile. "Or do you plan to substitute it with something else?"

"I... " Kasha looked embarrassed, lying naked on the operating table was already quite shy, and thinking that she still owed the doctor her first night made her cheeks even redder.

She had no money on her now, so what could she use to pay for the operation?

The most precious first night had already belonged to him, so... did she have to offer herself?

But, in the end, she had to go back to the open sea.

If she can't go back, she can only live for another three months at most.

Three months...

She looked at Charlotte. Compared to a year ago, the doctor seemed to have become more sunny and handsome, with bright and sharp eyes that were so gentle when looking at her.

Even among the fish people, she couldn't find a male fish person as good-looking as him.

Her mother had told her that fish people should show gratitude and repay the kindness. If the doctor saved her life again, she couldn't hide anymore, no matter what.

"I have no money. If you save me, let me be your maid for three months as compensation," Kasha said, blushing.

She had found a picture book in the sewer. Besides serving the master's daily needs, maids also had to warm the bed and sleep with the master at night, doing some strange things.

She had nothing valuable on her now, only this clean body.

If she wanted to repay Charlotte, this was the only thing she could do.

"A maid for three months?" Charlotte imagined Kasha serving him in a maid uniform, and it sounded wonderful.

He nodded and agreed, "Having a beautiful mermaid maid for three months sounds like a good deal."

"He seems quite excited..." Kasha noticed Charlotte's immediate acceptance without hesitation, and her face became even redder.

"The boss is a good person." Vivian looked at Charlotte, deeply moved.

With Kasha's current condition, she wouldn't be able to survive without timely treatment.

Not only did the boss treat her for free without caring about money, but he also agreed to take her in for three months, so she wouldn't have to stay in the dirty sewer anymore.

He was truly a model of a good man!
