Chapter 283

Malvina’s frown was so deep, it looked like it could trap a mosquito. She took a big step back, trying to escape this mess, only to find her path blocked by a hand propped against the wall above her head.

“Miss, won’t you give me a chance?”

The scent of disinfectant grew stronger, and the mummy’s hand was grasped by a doctor in a white coat.

“I’ll have someone handle your payment. Wait here, a nurse will come to treat your wounds.”

“I can handle the payment myself! No need to trouble your assistant!”

Malvina tried to sit up but was promptly pushed back down by Ulrich.
