Chapter 259 – 259 – A Barking Rich Dog
Eight am in the morning, Hary woke up exactly on ti by the small ticking sound in the room. He glanced at the side oaring at the huge old-fashioned wall clock that was ticking loudly.
He sat up straight, yawning.
Things were abuzz right after he returned to the barrack. Many things needed his attention.
He then glanced at the huge pile of docunts he needed to go through with a huge scowl.
This was part of his responsibility to keep this place running. To admit he was not that good at the administration part of it, only the protecting the civilian part was useful when defining his role here.
'I really wish soone would take care of the administration part. Mister wen is good at it but… the old man rarely sleeps anymore. Maybe we can ask fan…'
Hary brushed his teeth and spat out the foam and wiped his mouth. The water source was back in flow but he could not bear to waste even a drop knowing how much hard work his team and his friends had put into it.
He used just half a cup of rinse in his mouth and sink.
After which he changed into his new clothes while air drying the old sweaty one.
Every soldier was issued two uniforms, not more not less. They had to make sure they stayed in shape and clean.
Hary touched the small holes in his uniform pants. He was not even sure when he got this miscellaneous rip from.
"hope the girls can sew it for after they get better,'
That was the great benefit of staying with three girls. all of them were super helpful and made yummy food.
The only disadvantage… well, they tended to treat him like a doll. Every ti he woke up in their shared flat one of them would be sitting by his foot painting his nails.
Once he found Lui curling his hair with a bloody piece of ribbon, when asked about it she casually said that she was testing out another thod of curling.
Hary could not even fight them against these minor inconveniences. He let them play with him however they wanted.
The only backlash was when the other team mbers and the soldiers got a glace at their masterpieces.
Hary glanced at the chipped pink paint in his fingertips. "fuck how long does it take for this thing to go away. Juda painted them a long ti ago,"
He scratched at it. It only hurt his nails a bit.
Sighing, he gave up on it. After eating a small protein bar. He was ready for duty.
The first thing he had to do was to check on the kidnapped people from yesterday. The three were saved and admitted into the military ward montarily.
"What do you an I have to leave! What kind of work are you doing! You are supped to help the sick! I am sick! let in!" a girl was shooting right outside the infirmary. Two of the soldiers were trying their best to talk sense into her. but the girl was not listening to them one bit.
One of them gave him a pitiful gaze, asking for help.
Hary ntally took a deep breath, ready to deal with her tantrum. "ma'am, hi, I hope you are okay right now. please don't cause disturbance in front of the infirmary. Many wounded are resting in there."
Once a patient was deed healthy they will be discharged because military barrack could not hold many people. The precious spot can't be wasted on soone healthy.
The girl, without glancing back, shouted. "I am wounded! Aren't you supposed to treat too! I was barely even fed! I'm a patient!" she glanced back. Peering at him, her scrunched-up face relaxed a bit. Her small eyes hidden behind her bangs shimred like a love stuck preteen.
Hary clearly recognized this look. he kept a safe distance from her. "Ma'am please help cooperate with us. We don't have any intentions to bring you harm…."
"You, what is your na? I want you as my bodyguard! Appoint him as my bodyguard. I don't need to stay in this lousy hospital room, ill stay with him instead." She rushed to cling to his arm.
Beware of her move, Hary did not even let her close. "There is a protocol. I can't afford to let anyone stay with not have the ti to protect soone. Please be on your way,"
The girl's eyes wavered over to his shoulder strap where his badges were stitched on. "oh… them make ti for . It's my family's tax money that is financing you. You have to repay it back to ." she smiled at him ludicrously.
Hary sighed loudly. "Sorry I can't waste ti here," he walked into the infirmary.
The girl rushed in after the soldier could not stop her because he was screaming assault.
He glanced back with a slight frown. 'If every girl starts misusing the word assault it will really cause a lot of problems. Didn't this girl know the seriousness of her claim..'
The young girl just blinked at him with a smile still plastered on her face.
Not bothering with her Hary went on rounds, checking in on every patient. Without Juda or tian here, the infirmary was badly short-staffed. The volunteers who decided to work as a nurse here could not handle the sorrow and quit as soon as they started.
The doctors and nurses working here looked so haggard.
'I should find new staff for the infirmary. If this goes on the doctor might collapse.' He glanced at the patient beds. One bed, in particular, caught his attention.
It was the bed with a patient so thin that only his bones were visible. He laid shrunken hugging his knees together.
Hary walked close and looked at his report. The man was just malnourished.
"Che, why is he even alive? Do you know, they fed him but they refused to feed ?! how audacious these people are," the young girl glared at the hospital staff.
Hary just glared at her. "Please leave the premise if you are so repulsed by it. and next ti you decide to accuse soone of sothing make sure to have proof because I won't trust a word that cos out of your mouth,"
He left the girl gaping and stord out of the infirmary.
