A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World (WN)

Chapter 1632: Little Girl, Let Me Bring You To A Place

Five minutes later.

Angela licked the ice cream from the corner of her mouth with her pink tongue as she coyly and hesitantly asked Miya, “Big Sister Miya, how much is this ice cream? Can I please buy one?”

She realized she was completely wrong. The ice cream wasn’t some ice cubes. Instead, it was an unusually delicious dessert that melted in the mouth. It didn’t have the hardness and bone-chilling coldness of the ice cube. It only had a rich strawberry fragrance and sweetness which made people immersed helplessly in its scrumptiousness.

Miya smilingly answered, “The ice cream costs 200 copper coins each. According to the rules set by Boss, employees enjoy a 90% discount, which means it’s 20 copper coins each.”

“90% discount?!” Angela’s eyes lit up. She didn’t expect that being a Mamy Restaurant’s employee would entail such a great benefit. After pondering seriously for a while, she said, “Can I have a strawberry ice cream and then a blueberry ice cream, please?”

“Of course. However, Boss said that we could at most have three ice creams at a time, so after these two ice creams, you can’t have any more ice creams today,” Miya reminded Angela as she swiftly passed her a blueberry ice cream.

“Mm-hm.” Angela nodded. However, she was quickly immersed in the delicious blueberry ice cream. This fruit that she had never heard before brought her an exquisite dining experience too.

Come to speak of it, Boss Mag is indeed much more talented than the boss of the crayfish restaurant. He could even make a dessert that is so divine. Furthermore, he could create all sorts of delicious food besides crayfish, Angela thought while she licked the ice cream.

However, since he was Boss’ disciple, why doesn’t Boss care about him? Angela wondered again. After all, the crayfish restaurant and the boss’ family of three had disappeared inexplicably,

Of course, she was most curious about Jane who was assisting at the side.

This demon maiden with a golden horn was her colleague on Carapace Island. Therefore, what was she doing in Chaos City which was thousands of kilometers away? And, why did she appear in this restaurant?

She still couldn’t find a chance to be alone with Jane since yesterday, so she still hadn’t clarified her doubts with her.

After she left, Jane should’ve still been staying with the crayfish restaurant. Perhaps she knew where the crayfish restaurant’s boss and his family went.

How should I answer her if she asks? Boss said it would be best not to mention Carapace Island and expose his identity. So, what should I tell her? Jane thought worriedly. She was the worst at lying. She had no idea what to say and how to make the lie seamless.

“Doesn’t Big Sister Camilla come to the ice cream shop?” Angela asked Miya softly.

“Yes. Big Sister Camilla will only appear at the restaurant just before operation to do the preparation with Firis. The two of them have to prepare all the ingredients needed for each service, so their workload is very huge.” Miya nodded and smiled. “However, she doesn’t want people to know that she works in the restaurant, so she’ll leave after she has her meals, and she’ll never appear during the operation hours.”

“Oh, I see.” Angela nodded thoughtfully. As a demon, she naturally knew who Camilla was. She was the princess of the vampires, the famous black widow, Countess Bartoli.

Given Camilla’s identity and status, Angela was shocked when she found out that the former was in charge of food preparation in Mamy Restaurant.

After all, the vampire ancestor had just changed a few months ago. Vampire Dracula became the new ancestor, and he was Camilla’s uncle.

As Camilla was a tough character whose husband had died on their wedding night, Angela felt a kindred spirit from her.

Camilla had never remarried all these years. While Angela was touched by her deep love, she was also a little suspicious. After all, she didn’t look like a vampire who could remain a widow her whole life.

However, given her identity and power, why would Camilla become the restaurant’s employee? Was it simply to experience life? Or, it had something to do with the boss?

This is really an interesting restaurant. Angela’s lips curled upwards as she licked the ice cream. Perhaps she could dig out some interesting matters from here.

“Go away. I really can’t cure this ophthalmological disease,” an old physician said with conviction as he sent Lucy and her brother out.

“Doctor, please. Help my brother. He’s only 10 years old.” Lucy grabbed the doctor’s sleeve and took out a cloth bag with reddened eyes as she said, “We have money. We can pay for the treatment. Please take a look at his eyes.”

This was the fifth doctor who had rejected them. Apparently, he was also the best eye doctor in Chaos City.

The humble snow sledge, the blind boy, and the emaciated maiden quickly attracted the passers-by’s attention. Many people stood and watched them piteously.

“Little maiden, this isn’t about money. I would have helped if I could cure him.” The old physician shook his head as he sighed at Darren. “However, this ophthalmological disease is indeed weird. I have treated over tens of thousands of patients with ophthalmological diseases, but I have never seen such a weird condition before. We could worsen the condition if we used medicine recklessly. That’s why I don’t dare to undertake the case. Perhaps other, more experienced doctors might have a solution.”

“Isn’t that Dr. Adolphus?”

“Yes. That’s our Chaos City’s best eye doctor. He has given light and a new life to many patients.”

“Then why did he refuse to treat this boy’s eyes?”

“Who knows. Perhaps it is a very tough situation. If even Dr. Adolphus can’t help, then I think it is likely incurable.”

“He’s so pitiful. What will happen to him in the future if he can no longer see?”

The crowd was talking quietly among themselves with lamentation.

Lucy’s tears already couldn’t be stopped. She looked at the doctor and the surrounding crowd helplessly. She dragged Darren all the way to Chaos City with the money pooled together by their village people. She found the best doctor, but there was still no way to make Darren’s eyes see again. Was there really no way to cure his eyes?

“It’s fine, Big Sister. Let’s go home. I’m alright.” Darren reached out, and his hands felt around in midair. A pale smile appeared on his young face.

Lucy wiped away her tears as she reached out to grab Darren’s hands, and said with conviction, “No, Darren. I will definitely cure your eyes, and let you see this world again.”

The people grew silent as they watched the siblings with pity.

They should have traveled very far. The young maiden’s straw shoes were already worn. Her feet were already red from the cold. There were two very deep marks on the shoulders of her old and tattered animal skin coat. She already had to bear so many things at such a young age. It made people feel sorry for her.

“Little girl, let me bring you to a place. Maybe it would cure your brother’s ophthalmological disease.” An old man walked out from the crowd. He placed the ledger book under his armpit, and extended his hand to Lucy. “I am Christopher, the accountant of Abbott Jewelry Store.”
