“You are in a special ward temporarily remodeled by the embassy. The medical team from Somerland has just operated on you so you still need to rest well now,” the beautiful nurse said softly.
Jasper snorted, remembering the vulgar plots from melodramatic television shows, and could not help asking, “I didn’t lose any limbs, right?”
The nurse chuckled and said, “Your injury is the lightest among your group, but you do have some bruises and concussions. The most serious one is the gunshot wound to your chest. But because someone helped you block the bullet, the impact was not too great and struck a relatively good location, so it didn’t even hurt your lungs. It just penetrated the flesh around your chest and back.”
Jasper frowned and asked hurriedly, “How are Gary and Seamus?”
The nurse said, “Are you talking about the two people who protected you?”
“One is okay and has regained consciousness while the other is the person who helped you block the bullet. He was in very critical condition. His surgery lasted for 19 hours and he almost didn’t make it several times. A large bucket of blood has been transfused. Although his life is not in any danger now, experts say that he will definitely not be able to do heavy physical work in the future.”
Jasper exhaled and said, “It’s good enough as long as they’re still alive.”
Those two were his saviors. As long as they were alive, even if they needed someone to take care of them for the rest of their lives in bed, Jasper would give them glory and wealth that they can enjoy whilst lying down. This might be superficial, but it was the simplest and most direct reward Jasper could offer them.
At this time, news of Jasper regaining consciousness had spread.
First, the team of experts came over. After they conducted a comprehensive assessment and inspection of Jasper’s body, they made sure that there were no major problems before they left with peace of mind and Jasper’s gratitude.
Then came a middle-aged man with a calm temperament. His mannerisms were stylish and charming.
Jasper recognized him without any introductions.
In his previous life, this man would go to the United States as a diplomatic ambassador two years later, and then he was promoted to the deputy head of the diplomatic department when he came back. Eventually, right before Jasper was reincarnated, he was already at the top of Somerland diplomacy.
People gave him the nickname Tiger Werner.
“Ambassador Werner.” Jasper took the initiative to greet him.
Ambassador Werner sat on the edge of the hospital bed with a smile on his face. He looked at Jasper from head to toe and then said, “It’s great that you’re awake.”
Jasper smiled bitterly, “Well, I don’t want my life to end so soon. I haven’t enjoyed my life enough.”
Ambassador Werner laughed and said, “I can be completely relieved now that you can crack jokes. Also, I can give the country an explanation now.”
Jasper asked, “Speaking of Somerland, how is the situation outside now?”
Ambassador Werner looked serious and said, “When you woke up, Sunrise Land officially announced to the public that their head can no longer perform the duties of a head due to health problems.”
“The current cabinet will collectively submit their resignations in half a month’s time. According to the Sunrise Land constitution, within half a month, the deputy head must form a new temporary cabinet as soon as possible.”
“In addition to this, economic problems caused by the exchange rate collapsing have also begun to erupt. Sunrise Land’s domestic economy has fallen precipitously. Many people have already reached the brink of bankruptcy. In short, they were beaten black and blue by this mess, both domestically and internationally.”
“You don’t have to worry about Somerland. The news of your injury is completely suppressed and almost no one knows about it, but Swallow Capital hopes that you can return to Somerland as soon as possible.”
Jasper smiled bitterly. “I can’t go back even if I want to. The mess and sh*t storm in Sunrise Land will probably fall on my head.”
Ambassador Werner smiled and replied, “There are indeed some people who are saying that your injury was one of the reasons that led to the dissolution of the Sunrise Land cabinet.”
“Nonsense.”
Jasper raised his eyebrows. Not only was he not pleased with himself, but he also cursed, “These people should be shot to death. Is it meaningful to cause me to fail by excessively praising me?”
