Nightmare Paradise : Starting as a Doctor

Chapter 132: Mysterious Illness Revealed

Large green trees were planted on both sides of the white path, their thick trunks rising high into the air. Lush branches and leaves stretched outward, forming a natural canopy that blocked the sun.

This created a pleasantly shaded road that made the journey more comfortable. Behind these rows of verdant trees on either side, meticulously tended gardens could be glimpsed.

A rainbow of vibrant flowers bloomed in abundance, their petals unfurling to embrace the warm glow. The floral arrangements and patterns were impeccably designed and maintained.

As they walked, Lynn spotted gardeners dressed in neat uniforms moving among the beds of blossoms. They pruned stems, snipping away dead leaves and spent blooms to encourage new growth.

After strolling down the path for a short while, the figure of a grand mansion came into view before them. He observed the architecture with great interest as they approached.

The building had three floors, its style old-fashioned with an aged facade of weathered bricks and climbing ivy vines that lent it an air of antiquity. It seemed this vintage aesthetic was deliberately cultivated.

The butler led them through the imposing wooden doors into the manor's grand foyer. Entering the palatial space, their footsteps echoed on the polished marble floors and the plush carpeting.

Several young women dressed in maid uniforms were diligently cleaning and tending to the expansive living space. They were all attractive, seeming to be in their early twenties at most.

Lynn couldn't help but sigh in awe at the opulence and beauty around him. Everything here practically screamed wealth and extravagance. It was a level of luxury he couldn't even fathom.

However, the pair refrained from contemplating the surroundings for too long. In silent unison, they trailed behind the old butler as he ascended a staircase leading to the upper level.

Eventually, the group stopped in front of an open double doors. Their eyes immediately focused on the splendid balcony that lay beyond. A pleasant breeze drifted through, carrying with it the scent of flowers from the gardens below.

There, lounging comfortably on a soft couch and basking in the warm glow, was an elderly gentleman who seemed to be Lynn's client. Beside him, a young and beautiful maid was attending to his needs.

"Master," the butler announced respectfully, gesturing for the two guests to remain still as he walked up to the old man, leaning over and bowing. "A new doctor has come to treat you."

The mansion's owner opened his eyes weakly. "Are there still doctors who are ready to come? My disease is incurable, can't you let me enjoy the rest of my life quietly?" he spoke in a lazy voice, tinged with resignation.

The loyal steward straightened and looked at his master persuasively. "These people are already here and have traveled a long way. It would be rude not to at least meet with them."

A momentary stillness settled in the room as the old man immersed himself in deep thoughts, his weary eyes gazed into the distance, lost in a labyrinth of memories before finally sighing softly.

"Alright! Since they've come all this way, we can't let them make a trip for nothing," he acknowledged, nodding in agreement. Using his walking cane for support, he prepared to stand up from his seat, while the butler and maid swiftly positioned themselves by his side, ready to assist.

The client slowly turned around, revealing a head of gray hair that was thinning a lot, and a face covered with black age spots. The eyeballs were cloudy and the body seemed to be nothing more than a skeleton draped in skin.
