“Doctor, how is my mother?”
About two hours later, the clinic door opened, and David immediately rushed forward.
“Don't worry, the surgery was successful. The patient is out of danger now. She's awake. You can go in and see her.” The voice was slightly low and magnetic. Without even looking, Jiang Heng knew it was Victor.
Hearing this, the stone that had been hanging in David's heart finally dropped. He ran into the clinic immediately.
“Are you the patient's friends as well?” Victor looked at Jiang Heng and the others and asked.
Jiang Heng stepped forward and said, “Sort of. Thanks for your help, Doctor.”
“What's the hassle? You pay, I save lives. That's my job. You don't think I'm doing charity, do you? Haha.”
Victor cracked a small joke.
“Of course, how much is the medical fee? I'll pay you now.” Jiang Heng had ten thousand Euros left over that he hadn't settled with David, so he asked directly.
“Thirty thousand Euros. Some of the patient's internal organs were completely damaged, so I replaced them with cybernetics. Therefore, the price is a bit high. If you can't pay now, you can pay later.” Victor looked at Jiang Heng and said.
As soon as he said this, everyone except Jiang Heng was stunned. The cybernetic doctor had actually replaced the patient's organs with cybernetics without consulting the family.
You know, if it were other doctors, they would have collected the money first before performing the surgery. Also, if any cybernetics needed to be replaced, they would have to consult with the family. Only after the family paid would the surgery continue.
There are countless examples where this delay in the best treatment time led to the patient's condition worsening or even death.
But this doctor, not only did he replace the patient's organs with cybernetics directly to save her life, he even allowed the family to pay later!
Some might think that the doctor is trying to scam money by replacing the patient's organs without their consent, but for the ordinary world, this is completely unheard of in Night City.
Because in the ordinary world, if you don't pay your debts, you will become a blacklisted individual. But who in Night City cares about that? If the doctor doesn't charge for treatment, then the patient can just skip out on paying after they're cured. There's nothing the doctor can do.
Call the police? Don't be silly, NCPD wouldn't bother with such petty matters.
For a moment, Mann and the others felt like crying. Good heavens, there are actually such doctors in Night City. Why didn't they discover this earlier?
Thinking about the money they were scammed by those black doctors, they felt heartbroken. But they dared not speak out. Mercenaries couldn't just offend cybernetic doctors, after all, it's a high-risk profession, and cybernetic doctors are lifesavers!
Jiang Heng, of course, wouldn't owe Victor money, so he immediately said, “No need, Lucy, transfer thirty thousand Euros to Doctor Victor.”
“Okay.” Lucy didn't hesitate and transferred the money directly.
Upon receiving the notification, Victor also smiled.
Actually, not everyone could pay later at Victor's clinic. Usually, he only allowed close friends to do so. However, he had seen Jiang Heng and David just now, and he felt they were good people, so he made an exception.
Now that Jiang Heng paid in full, Victor felt that he had not misjudged them.
…
After paying the money, Jiang Heng and the others didn't plan to stay any longer, so they immediately said goodbye to David.
“David, keep in touch.” Jiang Heng didn't go into the clinic, but shouted at David, who was holding his mother in pain at the entrance.
“Okay, okay!” David, who had just been crying loudly, was a little embarrassed to look at Jiang Heng, so he could only mumble a reply.
In his heart, David was incredibly grateful to Jiang Heng. He wasn't an idiot. He knew the specialness of Victor. It was truly a lifesaver that Jiang Heng insisted on bringing his mother to Victor.
Otherwise, he didn't know how his mother would have been treated by those black doctors.
After saying goodbye, Jiang Heng and the others left.
Gloria, however, asked David, “David, how did you meet those people?”
“Ah? Well, I met them by chance.” David didn't know how to explain. After all, he couldn't tell her about his collaboration with Jiang Heng and the others.
Fortunately, Gloria didn't ask further. She just looked a little heavy-hearted.
The reason for this was that Gloria actually knew Mann.
A large part of Gloria's income came from stealing cybernetics. She often helped NCPD with some body collection work, so she often had access to corpses, allowing her to steal the cybernetics from them and sell them for money.
It was because of this income source that Gloria could afford to send David to Arasaka Academy. Ordinary jobs couldn't possibly afford the expenses of an aristocratic school like Arasaka Academy.
Therefore, it was because of this that Gloria knew Mann, because they had actually collaborated many times before.
In the animation, Mann said with his own mouth that Gloria was a trustworthy partner, proving that they had known each other for a long time.
And if they weren't familiar, Mann wouldn't have paid first. After all, doing that in Night City is basically throwing money away.
It was also because she knew Mann that Gloria was worried about David having contact with them. After all, Mann and his companions were mercenaries.
Gloria, who wanted her son to succeed, didn't want him to have any connection with those threatening figures.
