Chapter 774: Chapter 19 Avoiding Trouble, Losa 11
Roslor crawled on the ground, retching loudly.
In the previous three minutes, he had already vomited everything in his stomach, but the vomiting hadn’t stopped.
As a doctor, he thought himself accustomed to the sight of bloody, disgusting things and believed nothing should cause him such a severe physiological reaction anymore, but when he encountered that stinking river, Roslor realized how naïve he was.
It was just too foul!
The odor of that putrid river truly filled Roslor with dread.
Not to mention, at the time of the recent shooting, he unintentionally swallowed a couple of gulps.
It was the strangest, most disgusting taste he had ever experienced in his life.
Thinking about that taste, Roslor began to dry heave again.
After another ten-plus seconds of retching, Roslor finally trembled and got up, turning towards the silent Billder beside him.
"What’s wrong, Billder?”
Roslor asked directly.
Although they had known each other for less than a day, the several life-and-death experiences they shared in this short time had already made their relationship exceedingly special.
At first, Roslor’s goodwill saved Billder.
After that, Billder’s strength saved Roslor.
By this point, they had come to see each other as completely trustworthy.
So, when Roslor asked his question, he was very straightforward, without any concealment.
Similarly, Billder’s response was just as forthright.
"We’ve been discovered,”
Billder said in a deep voice.
"We’ve been followed all along…wait a minute!”
Roslor began to respond instinctively, but halfway through his words, he realized something was amiss.
Before Billder finished, Roslor already understood.
Why else would those attackers show up in the sewers?
Wasn’t it because they knew that ultimately, he was going to go back to his house?
Despite the extensive planning by Billder, they were still discovered.
Roslor clenched his fists fiercely.
As a doctor who had cooperated with ‘The Send Family’, he knew all too well the way the family… no, the way the butler, Xilin, operated.
His wife, his children, must already be in their hands.
They wouldn’t suffer torture for the time being.
Because they were waiting for him to walk right into the trap.
What would happen once he went?
A whole family, all accounted for.
That’s certainly what they would do.
Of course, their goal was probably Billder.
Billder was far more valuable than him, the ‘traitor’.
The potion had taken effect on Billder and, although the reason was unknown, Xilin must really want to have Billder as a ‘living subject’ at this point.
Thinking of this, Roslor took a deep breath.
"Billder, you could escape out of here, right?”
Roslor looked intently at Billder.
Billder looked hesitantly at Roslor.
"Without the burden of me, you could leave District F, right?”
Then, without waiting for Billder to speak, the once doctor spoke again.
"Stop worrying about me.”
"I just got what I deserved; I’ve done quite a few wrongs before, now it’s just retribution!”
"Thank you for saving me, you’ve helped me come to my senses.”
Roslor said, extending his right hand to Billder.
He wished to say goodbye to his newly made friend with a smile, but the smile on Roslor’s face was extremely unsightly.
Just like every time he faced those departed souls.
It was always so unsightly.
He told himself time and again that he was just someone who followed orders.
He reminded himself, over and over, that he wasn’t the one at fault, but rather the people of the Send Family were.
In the end, he was involved.
His hands had long been stained with blood and sin.
The original him wasn’t .
He had hoped to save lives and help the injured.
He hoped to bring more happiness to people.
But when did it all change?
Was it the first time he felt the pressure of the economy?
Or was it so that he could successfully propose to his wife?
For everything he now possessed, he had gone too far astray.
His initial dream had long been forgotten.
A life-saving doctor?
A butcher with blood-stained hands!
Thinking about the gaze of those innocents, his body could not help but shudder, his eyes reddened slightly, and tears flowed involuntarily.
"I am just a hypocritical bastard.”
"The things I’ve done were never out of goodwill.”
"I did it all to make myself feel a bit better.”
"I simply don’t deserve you risking your life for me.”
As he spoke, Roslor lowered his hand.
At this moment, he finally saw himself clearly.
Someone like him was beyond redemption.
As Roslor’s hand was about to drop, Billder’s hand slapped down hard onto Roslor’s palm and firmly grasped it.
In the face of Roslor’s surprised and emotional gaze, Billder spoke quietly.
"I am the security advisor for ‘The Send Family’; I have a life others envy.”
"And I don’t want that life to be destroyed.”
"So, when faced with those innocents, I chose to look away.”
"I told myself, don’t look, don’t ask, don’t care, and then nothing would exist.”
"As a result, one by one they were taken away before me, executed.”
