Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Why are you so nice to me? !
"but?"
The old doctor, wearing thick glasses, frowned. "But, there seems to be something wrong with this child's heart. Judging from the film...it seems to be a shrapnel?"
Amuro Toru was stunned.
The old doctor told Toru Amuro that there was a shrapnel stuck in Olga's heart, but with the current level of technology, it was impossible to remove the shrapnel safely. So -
From now on, she will not be able to do strenuous exercise or have any major emotional fluctuations. Otherwise, the severe pain in her heart will be enough to make a person faint from the pain.
Secondly, Olga had sustained several penetrating wounds to the bones of her left arm, which also damaged the nerves in her arm to varying degrees. Although these injuries have now healed, they appear to have grown out of alignment due to poor initial treatment—a factor that contributes to the weakness and loss of flexibility in Olga's left hand.
In addition, many organs in Olga's body have varying degrees of damage, which requires further examination before a judgment can be made.
The doctor was baffled. Logically speaking, in this situation... the patient shouldn't be able to survive, right? In all his years as a doctor, he'd never heard of anyone surviving with shrapnel lodged in their heart.
In fact, if Olga had not been an experimental subject of the organization and had an amazing recovery ability, she would have died when she fell into the sea after being shot by more than a dozen bullets.
The doctor, however, didn't know the identity of Olga's experimental subject. Fortunately, he didn't ask too many questions. Otherwise, the organization wouldn't allow someone who tried to pry into the secret to continue living.
Finally, the old doctor shook his head, sighed and left.
Something seemed to explode beside his ears, leaving Amuro Toru speechless for a moment. He was lost in the repetition of the doctor's words, unable to escape.
Olga is only thirteen! But her future life...
*
When Amuro Toru pushed the door open and entered the ward, Olga was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. She looked like she was not sleeping well, with her brows slightly furrowed.
Toru Amuro just stood beside the bed, looking at Olga silently for a long time, then reached out and gently brushed away the messy hair on her forehead with his fingertips.
It was at this moment that Olga slowly opened her eyes.
At first, her eyes looked a little confused. Then, she stared at him for several seconds.
Finally, she blinked and said, "Good afternoon?"
"good afternoon."
Olga: “…”
Toru Amuro: "..."
The two looked at each other, and Amuro Toru saw that the confusion on Olga's face was becoming more and more serious.
She finally couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you angry?"
"What are you angry about?"
Olga's eyes widened as she emphasized, "I crashed your car! It was completely torn to pieces!"
"Yeah." Amuro Toru's expression was still calm.
Olga stared at Amuro Toru suspiciously for a while: "Don't you have anything to say?"
"Don't do this next time." Amuro Toru touched Olga's head, "It would be bad if you hurt yourself."
Olga looked a little frustrated, and seemed to be hesitant to speak: "What else?"
"Hmm..." Amuro Toru thought for a moment and added, "If possible, don't be so cruel to my car next time. After all, it's quite expensive to repair."
Olga: “…”
Olga stared at Amuro Toru with her half-moon eyes and said quietly, "You're already working five jobs, and your salary isn't enough."
Amuro Toru: "...Actually, those jobs are just to facilitate the missions, they don't last long..."
Olga covered her face, feeling helpless for the first time in her life - was Bourbon made of clay? She had provoked him so much, and he didn't even get angry?
Vermouth clearly said that he has a terrible temper!
Olga tried to make one last attempt. She raised her head and said to Bourbon with a smile: "It's okay. From now on, I will be responsible for making money to support the family, and you will be responsible for being beautiful. I will support you, my dear Bourbon~"
What do you think? This is already a question of dignity!
Olga waited quietly for Amuro Toru to turn angry.
Unexpectedly, Amuro Toru also smiled and said, "Okay."
Olga: “…”
Forget it, maybe some people are just born with bad tempers...
Olga rubbed her face in frustration and turned to look out the window. "I hate you, so leave me be. Get out of here now and stop being my little guardian. Your goal should be the stars and the sea. Taking care of a naughty kid is a waste of time and energy."
Amuro Toru only said: "I'm afraid it's not possible for the time being."
He placed the lunch he had just ordered for Olga on the table one by one. "I'm a very persistent person. If I'm going to be a guardian, I'm going to do it to the end."
Olga felt like her fists were hitting cotton. She was unhappy, so she decided to make Amuro Toru uncomfortable too.
Olga folded her arms and looked at Amuro Toru, saying coldly, "There's shrapnel in my heart, and it can't be removed. So, from now on, I can't run, jump, get angry, or laugh anymore, or I'll die of pain."
Toru Amuro seemed to have no reaction and was still busy cleaning the table. Olga could only see his back.
"It's better to die right from the start than to live like this." She continued to weave the most vicious words with the calmest mind. Then, she saw with satisfaction that Amuro Toru's figure paused.
Just as Olga was about to continue spraying venom, she saw Amuro Toru turn around. He looked at her with an extremely serious and solemn look.
Olga didn't remember what he said at the time, it must have been some words of comfort or promises. She only remembered that she became extremely angry, and even she didn't understand why.
Why? Why are you so nice to me!

Rum had not yet left New York, so what Olga had done soon reached his ears.
Although Olga had done many outrageous things before, this was the first time she had openly caused trouble while living in the same city with Rum.
then--
It was still in the manor where Olga was last imprisoned. At that time, Olga had been discharged from the hospital.
When Rum's slap landed on Olga's face, not only Olga, but even Toru Amuro and Vermouth who were standing nearby did not react.
Olga's left cheek quickly swelled up, blood streaking her once-fair skin. Rum showed no mercy, using all his strength.
Olga seemed to be stunned by Rum's slap. Her eyes were wide open and she didn't come to her senses until she fell to the ground.
She saw Toru Amuro running towards her almost immediately. His face was anxious, and his mouth was opening and closing as he spoke something. But Olga could only hear the buzzing in her ears; she could hear nothing.
Olga wanted to raise her hand to touch her cheek, but the burning pain from the corner of her mouth to her ear made her not know where to start.
Rum was about to strike again, but now even Vermouth frowned and spoke out something to dissuade him.
Olga didn't hear clearly. Her ears were still buzzing, and she couldn't hear any other sounds clearly.
Rum's expression obviously did not improve much despite Vermouth's persuasion, and was still terribly gloomy.
"Look how ridiculous you are!" He paced back and forth in the room angrily. "Dangerous driving! Court summons! Look at what you have done these days, Arthas?!"
Olga's hearing gradually returned. Listening to Rum's scolding, she simply lowered her eyes and looked at the ground quietly, without arguing.
The matter of the court summons had been resolved by the organization, and Olga would definitely not have any criminal record. However, it was almost natural for Rum to be furious about this matter.
Although most members of the organization drive dangerously, only Olga has been caught over the years.
"You're not doing your job! You're doing this kind of ridiculous thing all day long! Arthas, I don't think you've lost your memory! You've lost your mind!"
Ever since Olga lost her memory, many of the organization's plans had to be altered or even halted. Rum was already furious, and Olga suddenly presented him with this opportunity, so naturally he wanted to vent.
When he was angry, Rum took two steps forward and tried to kick Olga a few times. Fortunately, Amuro Toru, who was holding Olga in his arms, pulled her away in time.
"Excuse me for being blunt," Amuro Toru said in a calm tone that didn't sound arrogant, "Arthas isn't in good physical condition right now. It's not suitable for corporal punishment at the moment."
Amuro Toru's words not only emphasized Olga's current physical condition, but also implicitly reminded Rum that she was an important experimental subject of the organization, and her physical condition must not be compromised.
After being reminded of this, Rum calmed down somewhat.
He glared at Olga fiercely and waved his hand at Amuro Toru: "Keep an eye on Arthas and don't let her get into trouble again, Bourbon."
"yes."
*
Rum left, taking his men with him. Only Vermouth, Amuro Toru, and Olga were left in the room.
Vermouth folded her arms and looked at Olga for a long time, then said earnestly, "At least wait until you get your driver's license before driving."
"I'm going to Kansas to get my driver's license next year." Olga stared sinisterly at the direction where Rum left.
Most states require drivers to be 16, but a few, such as Kansas and Arkansas, allow drivers to get a license at 14.
Vermouth tutted, not wanting to argue with Olga about this any further. How could this be a driver's license test? Who in the organization doesn't drive recklessly?
To put it more recently, both she and Bourbon were driving against traffic, speeding, and running red lights every day. Bourbon was driving while fatigued, and Vermouth herself was even frequently drunk and driving.
The problem wasn't the dangerous driving at all, but that after dangerous driving, not only did he crash into the hospital, he was also caught by the police!
Olga should have understood the problem, but——
Vermouth was rarely able to guess what Olga was thinking.
"Arthas, the organization now needs you to investigate and confirm the identity of a person." Vermouth glanced at Amuro Toru casually, and seeing that his expression was unchanged, she continued, "Mizunashi Rena, do you still remember this person?"
Olga didn't remember Rena Mizunashi, but Vermouth had mentioned her before—one of the three new recruits. Before she lost her memory and fell into the sea, she was acting on Rum's orders to identify the three new recruits as undercover agents.
Toru Amuro probably doesn't know about the previous mission.
Then he doesn't need to know now.
