"Uncle Billy, do you feel better now?"
In the carriage, Jenny looked at Billy with concern and asked.
Billy leaned against the soft fur cushion, closed his eyes, and carefully felt the changes in his body. When he opened his eyes again, they were shining. He nodded and said, "Yes, after the injection, I immediately felt relaxed. It's like my blood has become clear and agile."
"Is the effect really that obvious?" Jenny was pleasantly surprised.
Billy nodded, "Yes, I know my body very well these past two years, and I can detect any subtle changes."
"In that case, Charlotte indeed has some ability," Jenny pondered.
"Without magic or surgery, being able to directly inject the potion into a person's body, Doctor Charlotte is truly a genius," Billy said with emotion, "Such a genius, but he was exiled from Calva and now works as a doctor in this chaotic abyss. It is truly Calva's misfortune."
"You don't have to pity him. This ungrateful man is doing just fine in the abyss. Did you see the beautiful girl who was selling the potion just now? She is one of his mermaid servants," Jenny said indignantly.
"Ungrateful?" Billy glanced at her and smiled, "Are you taking Elizabeth's side because of their broken engagement?"
Jenny nodded, "Of course, if it weren't for Elizabeth's threat to her own life, he would have been burned at the stake long ago. But not only did he not show gratitude or uphold his promise, he is now lingering in the abyss, collecting maids. Can you say he's not ungrateful?"
"If I remember correctly, their engagement was canceled three years ago, and it was Elizabeth who ended it," Billy asked with a smile.
"In that case, how can you call him ungrateful? Even if he collected a mermaid servant, is there anything wrong with that? I heard that not long ago, the Lord agreed to the engagement between Elizabeth and Capas."
"Elizabeth ended the engagement to save him, and she doesn't acknowledge the engagement with Capas," Jenny shook her head.
"Does Charlotte know about this?"
Jenny paused and shook her head, "Elizabeth never told him."
"Did Elizabeth ever say that he's ungrateful?"
Jenny shook her head again, "She's very soft-hearted towards Charlotte. She would never say such things."
"Not only is she soft-hearted, but she also knows very well that Charlotte's imprisonment and exile were all calculated and plotted. Today we witnessed him successfully treating so many patients without any casualties on the operating table.
But when he was imprisoned, it was because he performed surgery on abandoned patients who were already sentenced to death.
There is no difference between dying at home and dying on the operating table. Yet, they put all the blame on Charlotte," Billy sighed, "The Medical Association and the Lord's Mansion conspired together. He had nowhere to run."
Jenny fell silent. After hearing Billy's words, she realized the desperate situation he faced back then.
"After all that he has been through, he still holds onto his original intention and doesn't fall into despair. He opened a clinic in the abyss, treating the poor and searching for treatments for rare and complicated diseases. Such a doctor cannot be found anywhere else in Calva."
Billy looked at Jenny and smiled, "So, do you still think he's just an ungrateful man?"
"Alright, I'll no longer think of him as ungrateful," Jenny shrugged, "Uncle Billy, should I take you back to Calva now? I'll bring you back for the injection tomorrow."
Billy chuckled, "I heard that you opened a school in the abyss with the Duru family's boy. Since I rarely come to the abyss, why don't you take me to have a look?"
"You want to visit the school? Okay, I'll take you there."
Jenny instructed the coachman outside and said, "Today, I'll show you around. The abyss is not as chaotic and disorderly as it is rumored. After the destruction of the Jardson family, the three major families organized and regulated it. Now, even the Abyss Council has been established, and there is an Abyss Guard maintaining order."
"Oh? Is the abyss also becoming like Calva?" Billy was surprised. It was completely different from what he had in mind about the abyss.
"You'll see when we get there."
...
The Golden Stamina Elixir gradually gained a good reputation, and its sales also increased.
When the evening came, only two bottles of Twilight Red were sold, and they were sold to the patients who had consultations.
After all, it was a special potion, and it might be a bit embarrassing to buy it directly from the potion counter, which limited the purchasing power to some extent.
In comparison, Harry's grocery store was more secretive and easier to facilitate transactions.
But Charlotte didn't mind. Being the original manufacturer was not bad at all. Besides, selling a hundred bottles at once was more satisfying than selling them one by one, right?
During lunchtime, Fat Tiger came for his injection, and Charlotte informed him about Billy coming for the medicine.
"Billy is nearby, so he can come as soon as he receives the news. But there may not be many bottles left by now," Fat Tiger sighed, feeling a bit sad.
"Everyone has their fate, and we can't force it," Charlotte said while disinfecting the syringe.
"Doctor, can we inject the potion ourselves?" Fat Tiger asked, "That way, we can use the medicine at home, and those who are far away don't have to stay near the abyss every day."
Charlotte nodded, "Yes, I plan to customize a batch of syringes and potion bottles. If the potion is stored properly, you can take a month's supply back home and inject it yourself every day."
"That's great, it would be much more convenient for everyone," Fat Tiger's eyes lit up.
"These past few days, have you experienced any discomfort after the injection?" Charlotte asked, looking at him.
"No discomfort at all. After injecting the insulin, I felt like I came alive again. The wounds on my body started to heal normally, and my weight stabilized. I'm currently undergoing recovery training," Fat Tiger said.
"That's good. Please continue to be cautious and maintain a healthy diet," Charlotte nodded. When blood sugar levels drop, the body's functions also return to normal, so it wouldn't affect their daily lives.
After Fat Tiger left after the injection, Charlotte took a few bottles of Twilight Red and went to the butcher's meat stall.
Before long, Charlotte returned with half a cow's head.
The butcher gave it to him as a gift, weighing over twenty pounds. After processing it, it would be enough for them to eat for a day.
The butcher had been talking about this potion for a while, so he bought ten bottles all at once and even gave him half a cow's head as a thank you.
