Chapter 49: Winston
In fact, it looked serious, just a simple bruise, and because Roque's physical fitness was excellent, when the doctor rushed to treat Roque's wound, the wound was no longer bleeding.
This surprised Dr. Jonathan Jackson again.
"No, under normal circumstances, even if this situation is not fatal, it will always take a few days of rest, but, but-" Jonathan Jackson looked at Roque like a monster, from Roque's injury to Jonathan Jackson starting to treat Roque's wounds, it was only five or six minutes before and after, but within these five or six minutes, Roque's wound had stopped bleeding, and there were signs of healing at the edge of the wound, which, this is not scientific!
"I have already used Baiyao just now, do you know Yunnan Baiyao? Healing holy products, ancestral secret recipes, I only have a little bit, and I used it all up just now. Roque attributed the reason to the great Yunnan Baiyao, at this time Melody had already helped Roque bandage his wounds, and Jonathan Jackson wanted to observe it, but Roque sternly refused.
Can't let Jonathan Jackson see that the wound was still hot and painful just now, and now it has begun to itch, which is a sign that the wound is beginning to heal. Roque didn't know why this was happening.
"Oh oh, ancestral secret recipe, so where can I buy it?" Jonathan Jackson turns funny in seconds.
Your sister, this is not a half-step with a smile, Roque ignored Jonathan Jackson, and politely thanked Melody: "Thank you, Melody, we meet again." ”
"You're welcome, Locke, you're going to surprise people every time." Melody smiled.
Roque guessed correctly, the same to stop a serious violent attack, Roque and Henry were treated very differently, even if he was injured, Roque was only given the right to rest in the manor, but Henry could follow August Russell to the hall to brush his face in front of the big guys, this is the difference.
"Locke, although it looks like the wound is no longer serious, you still have to rest for a few days." Jonathan Jackson doesn't drill the horns, the mysterious East is inherently unknown to Westerners, there are many things in this world that can't be explained, and Roque doesn't cooperate, Jonathan Jackson can't force Roque to go to the dissecting table.
"It's okay, minor injuries can't get out of the line of fire." Roque doesn't want to rest, he wants to rest, and he will rest after tonight, now is the time to brush his face, what if he has the opportunity to show his face in front of the big guys later?
The opportunity to show his face was not long in coming.
"I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not a coward, I'm a hero—" Henry came out of the banquet hall half-hugging and half-holding a drunken fellow, who yelled as he walked, but the way others looked at him was like a clown.
"Yes, of course you are, Mr. Winston, and no one blames you, you did everything you could." Henry's words sounded good, but he did not hesitate to send the drunkard named Winston to Dr. Jonathan Jackson.
"What's wrong?" Roque came over to help.
"No, no, you're injured and need to rest now, you'd better go back to Cape Town with this gentleman and get a room for him at the Table Mountain Hotel." Henry was in a good mood at this time, and it seemed that the relationship between Roque and Ida would not have any effect on Henry.
Well, the love of the second goods is really cheap.
"I'm not drunk, I'm not a coward, and I don't want that—" The drunken man named Winston was so drunk that he was firmly pressed into his chair by Henry.
"This guy drank too much, he was a journalist with the army, he was captured by the Boers in Freel, but this guy was lucky, he escaped alone, he doesn't need your pity, he can earn 250 pounds a month." Henry set Winston in place, and then remembered Roque's injury: "How are your injuries?" Otherwise, you should go back and rest early, I will give you a week of paid leave, if it is not enough, half a month. ”
Henry is very generous, let alone half a month, a month is no problem, many people will never have the opportunity to brush their faces in front of so many big people in their lives, but Roque got it, in a sense, Roque and Henry saved everyone in the banquet hall just now.
It may not be as serious as everybody, but if those rebels had mixed in and detonated explosives in the crowd, anyone could theoretically have died, so this is not an exaggeration.
"My injuries don't matter, I'll talk about them later." Roque looked at Winston in his chair and felt that the name was somewhat familiar.
It's a little familiar, Winston - Winston - Winston Churchill!
A name popped through Roque's mind.
Could it be Winston Churchill?
Roque really didn't know if Winston Churchill had fought in the Second Boer War, but judging by his age, it seemed quite appropriate.
"Winston—what's his full name?" Roque couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart.
"Winston Churchill—" Henry's answer simply made Roark ecstatic, what governor, what director, in front of Churchill are all floating clouds, in front of Roark is the greatest Englishman of all time.
But then Henry's words shattered all Roque's impressions of Churchill.
"His father is a lord, a former chancellor of the exchequer, but unfortunately died of syphilis a few years ago, his mother's name is Jenny Jerome, the daughter of Leonard Jerome, the king of Wall Street, this Jennifer is amazing, she has been known as the most beautiful woman in the world since she was a child, and now she should be the most beautiful widow in the world, or the richest widow in the world, she has as much money as her lover." Henry has the potential to become a reporter for The Sun, and Melody listens to it with relish.
"Hey, gentlemen, it's not decent to talk about people behind their backs." Jonathan Jackson was dissatisfied, this is an infirmary, not a bathhouse, is it really good to discuss syphilis and widows here?
"Sorry sir, please take good care of Mr. Winston, the Boers are offering a £25 reward for him, he is a military correspondent for the Morning Post, or a writer of little fame, if you don't take good care of him, he will write you into his book and scold you severely." After Henry finished speaking, he flashed, and was busy going to the banquet hall to rub the scene.
Your sister, the future British Prime Minister is too worthless, it's only 25 pounds, and people's current monthly salary is already 250 pounds, okay, didn't the Transvaal discover the world's largest gold mine?
It's stingy!
And the eyes are not beaded!
He deserved to be pressed to the ground and rubbed by the British.
"Doctor, leave him to me, and I'll send him back to Cape Town." Roque would certainly not pass up the opportunity to deal with Churchill and make sure that Churchill would feel at home in Cape Town.
Like Henry just now, Roque was also half-hugging and half-hugging, getting Churchill out of the manor.
At the gate of the manor, Roque saw Ada's carriage.
Let's go together.
