Chapter 1634 - : The Number One Person In Chaos City For Hair And Beauty
A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World
The warm sensation on her feet made Lucy feel like crying. She had never worn such comfortable shoes before.
âSister?â Darren tilted his head with wonder.
âIâm fine,â Lucy swiftly answered before she lifted up the drapes, turning to Mr. Christopher, who was waiting outside of the carriage, and said, âSir, we are done.â
Christopher got into the carriage, frowned when he saw the coat that was neatly folded by Lucy at the side, and asked, âWhy are you not wearing the coat?â
âWe are very grateful that you are bringing us to see a doctor and giving us new clothes. However, this coat is too precious, so I cannot accept it.â Lucy shook her head and smiled. âI am already very warm in these clothes. I have never been so warm before.â
Christopher felt his heart ache even more for Lucy who was smiling so innocently. He glanced at that pure white coat, and hesitated for a moment before nodding. âAlright, take a seat then. We should set off now. We might not get to line up if we are late.â
Lucy pulled Darren down onto a seat awkwardly as she curiously asked Christopher, âIs that a very famous doctor?â
âMm-hmm. Very famous.â Christopher nodded. After pondering, he continued, âMaybe he could also be called a doctor.â
âFantastic.â Lucyâs eyes glowed. If that doctor could make the old gentleman trust him so much, he had to be very formidable. Perhaps he could really cure Darrenâs eyes.
The horse-drawn carriage finally stopped after traveling for some time.
âLetâs go, children. Weâve arrived.â Christopher got up and walked out.
âDarren, letâs go.â Lucy held onto Darrenâs hands, and got out too.
Two lines of people appeared in her view. Elves, demons, and humans were lining up together.
âAre they all here to see the doctor?â Lucy was taken aback, filled with disbelief.
âCome on, children. Weâve got to go to the end of the line.â Christopher waved at the both of them before walking toward the end of the line.
âMm-hmm,â Lucy answered. She helped Darren get off the carriage, and then followed Christopher to the end of the line.
However, the line was so long, so when would it be their turn?â
Lucy observed those people in the line carefully. Their eyes were all bright and clear, and there werenât any wounds on their bodies. Apart from their expectant expressions that looked like they were waiting to meet an extraordinary doctor, most of them didnât look like they were sick.
âChristopher, why did you bring your granddaughter here today? Arenât you going to have a few more glasses of rum today?â An old man with white hair chuckled at Christopher. They were drinking buddies, so they knew each other quite well. He knew that Christopher had a granddaughter around that age, but he had never met her before.
âYes. Todayâs weather is rather good, so I decided to bring them out for a meal.â Christopher nodded smilingly. He didnât elaborate on Lucyâs and Darrenâs identity.
Lucy smiled and nodded at that old man in greeting. Since he was Mr. Christopherâs friend, he had to be a good man too.
Wasnât this a doctorâs pharmacy, though? Why did he ask Mr. Christopher to have a few more glasses of rum? Lucy couldnât understand.
That old man nodded at Lucy with a smile, while his gaze landed on Darren. When he saw his white eyes, he couldnât help saying with shock, âWhat happened to this childâs eyes?â
The old manâs words attracted the attention of the surrounding people.
Darren hid before Lucy fearfully. Although his eyes couldnât see, he still felt the gazes on him.
The youth was rather handsome and cute, but his eyes couldnât see. People felt sorry for him that he couldnât see at such a young age.
âDonât be scared. Iâm here.â Lucy grasped Darrenâs hands and consoled him softly. She knew that these people didnât mean any harm.
âThis childâs eyes suddenly lost their vision recently. We have seen many doctors, and they all couldnât help. Thatâs why I brought him to Boss Mag to try it out.â
He still wasnât sure that drinking rum was the reason that his vision became clear. If he was wrong, he could harm this child, and hurt that young maidenâs feelings.
âShouldnât you bring him to the doctor if he couldnât see? Why are you bringing him to Boss Mag? Iâve never heard that Boss Mag knows how to cure ophthalmological diseases?â that old man asked with befuddlement.
âYes. I have heard that Boss Mag can cure hair loss and kidney deficiency, but Iâve never heard that he knows how to cure ophthalmological diseases?â
âIsnât that so? Boss Mag is already the number one person in Chaos City for hair and beauty. But, if we are talking about curing ophthalmological diseases, it should be Dr. Adolphus who is more professional, right?â
The people around them chimed in.
âWe have just come from Dr. Adolphus. He was helpless too.â Christopher shook his head, and said in a grave voice, âI brought this child here because my presbyopia, which was getting more and more serious in recent years, was suddenly cured when I woke up this morning. My vision became clear as if I was 20 years younger. I no longer have any problem reading the ledger.
âI didnât do anything special these few days except coming to Mamy Restaurant and drinking rum. So tell me, were my eyes cured by Boss Mag?â
Everyone looked at Christopher after he said that. His eyes were indeed very clean and clear, without the cloudiness of the other old folksâ eyes. They resembled the eyes of a young person. They couldnât help but wonder if Boss Mag could really cure ophthalmological diseases. Or, maybe drinking rum could make the eyes clearer?
A young man in long robes who was holding an open book stepped forward with a shy smile, and said, âI thought it was my illusion, but this old gentlemanâs situation is very similar to mine. Originally, I couldnât recognize my relatives who were standing five steps away from me, and I couldnât differentiate a pig from a dog when they were 10 steps away from me. However, when I woke this morning, my eyes became normal, and I could see things that were 10 steps away from me clearly.â
âWow. Thereâs another real-life example. Seems like Boss Mag is really good at curing illnesses.â Everyone looked at the young man with bright eyes. One case could be an accident, but two Mamy Restaurant customersâ ophthalmological diseases were cured overnight, so it had to have had something to do with Boss Mag.
Christopherâs eyes lit up upon hearing that too, and he said with surprise, âPerhaps the rum could really cure ophthalmological diseases?â
The young man shook his head. âI have been eating at Boss Mag these few days, but I donât think your deduction is accurate, because I have never had rum before.â
The young manâs words eradicated the possibility of rum being the key.
âWhat can it be if it isnât the rum?â Christopher said with a frown.
Vivian, who was listening at the side, stepped forward with pursed lips, and said, âIsnât this a very simple deduction question? You and he have been eating at Mamy Restaurant for the past few days, but both your eyes were only suddenly cured this morning. Therefore, you two only have to think carefully about what you ate at Mamy Restaurant last night which you havenât had before, and both of you ate it last night. Then, that would be the answer.â
âRoasted pigâs eyes!â
âRoasted pigâs eyes!â
Christopher and that young man blurted out the answer at the same time.
