“Ahaha….” Patty didn’t know what else to say in her own defense and spread her arms out like a bratty child, “If everyone is not in a hurry, can we delay the departure a little longer?”

“What are you going to do?” Dawn asked.

Patty points to a hospital building behind him, “… Mmm, this won’t be easy to explain with a few words, and it will delay everyone if I did. Simply said, I want to visit a patient.”

Dawn nodded after seeing the other two not objecting: “Do you mind if we go together then?”

Patty smiled, “Of course not, let’s go.”

…

Led by Ms. Vampire here, the group went through the main lobby and into the intensive care unit located on the eleventh floor.

Originally, no one was allowed to visit the unit after visitation hours, but the problem naturally got resolved after Patty said a few words to the doctor and nurses on duty. Dawn thought it was due to the magic of money like before, but it turns out to be an entirely different reason.

“It’s because of the patient’s father.” Patty cocks her chin towards a room further in the back to point where they’re going.

With puzzlement on their faces, the group followed Ms. Vampire into the ward with nimble steps as to not disturb anyone. Before long, they were standing beside a hospital bed with an unconscious young girl hooked up to a life support machine.

“She just turned sixteen this year, a child with a good character and excellent school grades. You know, she was still able to talk and make jokes with me without this tube when I came here a month ago.” Making a faint laugh like she’s remembering some happy memory, Patty should be weeping at this moment but didn’t: “To be honest, her jokes weren’t very good at all. I got bored early on during our chats. It’s just that, there’s so much optimism in her voice that I couldn’t look away. I guess you can even call us friends….”

Pausing in her sentence, her voice almost sounded sad there, “Oh right, you’ve met her father already. It’s the blood servant down in the morgue. He needed money to treat his daughter’s illness back then so he took many hard jobs to fund the treatment. As a result, he ended up getting lung cancer from digging coals in the mines. By the time he got diagnosed, it was already too late. In the end, the poor man went ahead of his own daughter when he was supposed to be the adult and care for her.”

Inhaling like she’s trying to suppress some long-forgotten emotion, Patty pats the patient’s hand with her own in a reassuring manner, “That man suffered a lot in his lifetime. First losing his wife during labor, and now his daughter is terminally ill with an elderly mother left at home. Before he died, he pleaded with me to turn him. Guess you can say he believed it’s his only hope of righting a wrong in his life. Sometimes the world is like that. Life is unfair and unjust if no one offers a helping hand.”

Speaking of this, the vampire lady suddenly starts acting all dispirited like she’s uninterested in the business of others: “Uhh, I’m rambling now. Coming here was originally a coincidence, and giving this family a chance is also a momentary whim of mine. I’ve lifted the spell binding her father to my control already, and there’s enough money in his account to pay for any treatment that’s needed…. Whatever happens will happen. My fate with this family ends tonight. Whether the heavens want to smile on them is out of my hands….”

Dawn and his companions didn’t utter a word here and quietly listened to the story. Of course, only a fool would speak now in this mood.

“Well, we should go now. Lingering here won’t do any good for the rest of the patients. It is late into the night after all.” Patty then forms a faint smile as she stands from her leaning position in preparation to leave.

“Do you like humans?” After following to the door, Dawn couldn’t help but ask this question from the rear.

“Can’t say I do. I’ve seen too many humans die and pass away in my times.” Patty replied without hesitation but then added another part after glancing back at the patient room, “But I do like this family.”
