Chapter 619: Paying off the debt.
Chapter 619: Paying off the debt.
So, what should we do next? This is really a headache!
To be honest, even the sheriff had a hard time with Efron Weisz.
According to common sense, he first locked a person in a water tank, causing him to drown, and then beat him in the street with an iron rod. Such behavior is extremely heinous and it is not an exaggeration to sentence him to death by hanging.
However, the problem is that he is a mental patient and suffers from amnesia.
This means that he had no idea what he was doing, and he might not even be aware that the people he put in the tank were actually his family members who came to take care of him.
Faced with such a special situation, the boundaries between law and morality seem to become blurred.
The sheriff was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, he had to maintain social justice and the dignity of the law. On the other hand, he had to take into account Efron Weisz's mental condition and the difficulties he faced.
Lydia and Servi had the same feeling about Efron Weisz's behavior, that is, this person is simply a psychopath and his actions cannot be understood with common sense.
People really can't argue with psychopaths because you never know what they will do.
Perhaps Efron Weisz himself is not aware of how outrageous what he has done is. His way of thinking and behavior patterns are very different from those of ordinary people.
Faced with such an unpredictable person, Lydia and Servi's tolerance is surprisingly high.
I'm afraid only Kurt knows the reason behind this.
After all, they have been living with this psychopath for a long time. The long-term relationship has made them immune to the psychopath's behavior, and their tolerance has become quite high.
However, this is not the most critical issue at the moment. The most urgent task is to find a way to deal with the Efron Weisz matter.
After all, his behavior has caused a lot of trouble to the people around him, and he can't be allowed to act so recklessly any longer.
.................................................. ........................
After careful consideration and repeated weighing, it was Lydia who finally made the final decision on this plan.
Although she herself was not completely sure whether she could successfully remove the piece of iron that was inserted into Efron Weisz's head while ensuring his safety.
However, this is the only feasible solution that can be thought of at present. Because even if the truth is told to him now - he killed his family with his own hands, he may not be able to immediately understand what is going on.
After all, he had been in the same room with the water tanks containing the corpses for such a long time, but he had never noticed anything unusual. This showed that his amnesia might have been very serious, so serious that he would forget what was in the room as soon as he stepped out of the door.
However, despite this, the sheriff still said he was unsure whether Lydia could be approved to perform surgery on Efron Weisz.
After all, even someone like him who knew nothing about medicine could easily see that this operation was almost a life-or-death situation.
Although the sheriff understood that this was the only solution at the moment, as a policeman, he really could not agree with Lydia doing this.
Isn't this equivalent to making Efron Weisz a guinea pig for Lydia?
Efron Weisz is a criminal, but he also enjoys basic human rights.
The sheriff could not accept the practice of treating him as a guinea pig in any way, let alone approve such an operation.
But the next sentence made the sheriff approve, because Lydia said:
"But even if I don't perform surgery on him, he won't live long. With such a large piece of rusty steel plate inserted into his brain, even if he doesn't die of sepsis, he will die of his body rejecting it."
.................................................. ........................
"So you want to tell me that this guy!!!" Jose Badem widened his eyes and shouted in disbelief, "He actually beat Kreacher seriously!!!" His voice echoed in the air, filled with shock and anger.
However, what made him even more unbelievable was that these people in front of him actually wanted to save this guy's life! Jose Baden's mind seemed to freeze at that moment. He couldn't understand why anyone would feel pity for such a cruel abuser.
It was not until Servi patiently explained the whole thing from beginning to end that Jose Badem gradually understood.
It turns out that there are many unknown reasons and considerations behind all this.
"So that's it..." Jose Badem muttered to himself, his brows gradually relaxed, but the anger in his heart had not completely subsided.
He couldn't help but sigh, it turns out that women are more emotional than men. Although Lydia's approach seems unreasonable, she is well versed in human nature. She knows how to defeat a person spiritually, rather than simply fighting violence with violence.
If it were Jose Badem, faced with such a situation, perhaps he would choose to shoot the perpetrator without hesitation to relieve his hatred.
However, Lydia handled the matter in a more clever way, which gave Jose Badem a new understanding of her wisdom and means.
As expected, there is a saying in the East that "women are the most vicious". At that time, Jose José Baden sneered at this saying, but now it seems...
Lydia, I admire your way of revenge...
Jose Badem quickly put away his anger and sat on a chair outside the corridor waiting for Lydia to complete the operation. While waiting, he had nothing to do, so he picked up his gun and played with it in his hand.
.................................................. ........................
Although the operation of removing a steel plate from a person's brain sounds extremely dangerous, in fact, for Lydia, this operation is a piece of cake.
After all, her first surgery as a doctor was on Helena.
At that time, there was a huge blood clot in Helena's brain, which made her unable to see light since she could remember.
However, with her superb medical skills and calm mind, Lydia successfully removed the blood clot, allowing the little girl to see again.
Now, facing the operation in front of her, Lydia felt nothing in her heart.
For her, it was just a matter of replacing the blood clot with an iron plate, and the difficulty of the operation did not increase much.
Lydia's hands were extremely fast and stable. Under the light of the operating table, her face radiated a holy light, like an angel descending.
However, only she herself knew that at this moment, she was no longer the doctor who simply cured and saved lives.
At this moment, she is more like a judge, and the scalpel in her hand has become a pen that decides life and death.
She would use this scalpel to sign the final judgment for the person in front of her.
If she was to be honest, Lydia hated Efron Weisz.
Although Lydia seemed to have the same expression from the time Kreacher was injured until now, that was just a doctor's habit of not showing her emotions in front of patients.
.................................................. ........................
However, in fact,
Lydia could feel that what was surging in her chest was not anger, but something darker, like icicles formed on the wall of a well in winter, climbing up her spine inch by inch, freezing the root of her tongue numb.
At that moment, her rationality disappeared, and from then on, every action and every decision she made was driven entirely by hatred.
Lydia thought about it a lot... She thought about deliberately cutting the wrong way and killing the man directly, but Lydia couldn't do that. She swore an oath that she was a doctor who cured diseases and saved lives. She couldn't do such a thing.
Lydia promised that she would cure him, but she would not take care of what happened next.
Lydia said that she was not good at psychology.
.................................................. ........................
When Lydia finished the operation and walked out of the operating room, the first person to greet her was Jose Badem.
"How was the surgery?"
"very successful."
"When will he wake up?"
"4 p.m."
"Very well, I can wait till then."
There is never any need for nonsense in their communication. With just a glance, they will know what the other person is thinking.
.................................................. ........................
After a brief exchange, Jose Badem and Lydia turned their eyes in the direction of Servi at the same time.
Servi seemed to notice their gazes, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Don't worry, I know what to do." His voice was calm and firm, as if he was confident about what to do next.
Then, Servi slowly extended a finger and gently placed it in front of his lips, making a "hush" gesture. Although this action is subtle, it reveals a mysterious atmosphere.
Servi was certainly not a fool, he had already guessed what Lydia and Jose Baden were thinking, he knew they might have some plans or intentions, and these plans might be related to him.
However, Servi did not show any panic or anxiety. He faced it all calmly, because he knew that he might have been a cowardly man, but that was a thing of the past.
Today, Servi is no longer the person who chose to hide the truth out of fear. He remained silent not because of cowardice, but because he happened to have the same idea as Lydia and Jose Badem.
So, Servi chose to ignore their gazes and used the "hush" gesture to express his attitude - don't worry, he will remain silent.
At the same time, this also means that he will help Kreacher hide my Kreacher's appearance. The three of them have seen it with their own eyes, and it will be bad if Kreacher knows about it.
.................................................. ........................
Efron Weisz's operation was very successful, but his memory recovery would not be completed all at once, but would require a gradual process. However, for Lydia and the others, they could not wait any longer.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when the effect of the anesthetic wore off, the first person Efron Weisz saw when he opened his eyes was Servi.
Efron Weisz's memory has gradually recovered, so there is no way he could not recognize the bitter taste. After all, it was this man who turned him from a street thug into an escape artist, and it was also because of this man that he suffered from amnesia.
But what happened later was just his own fault. Although Efron Weisz was a street thug, it didn't mean he was unreasonable.
"Why am I here?"
The iron piece pierced his head, and the pain of that moment seemed to still remain on the wound. However, when Efron Weisz reached out to touch the place where the iron piece was inserted, he only felt circles of bandages wrapped around it.
"Thank me. You had amnesia and were hurting people on the street with a stick. You met me. I know a pretty good doctor. I won't pay for your medical expenses."
Although Efron Weisz expressed doubts about whether a person could have such a kind heart, he gently pressed the skin under the bandage and indeed did not feel the hard and cold touch of the iron sheet, so he temporarily believed what Servi said.
"Thank you very much. I will pay you whatever the price is. I owe you a favor for this matter. I will find a way."
Efron Weisz knew that this surgery would cost a lot of money, but he didn't care.
His amnesia has been cured now, and he can continue to perform. If all else fails, he can continue to lend money at high interest rates, so there is still some way to save money.
"Pay? No, no, no, Mr. Efron Weisz, before that, you have a bigger debt to pay."
