Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!

Chapter 338: Let Me Share a Fable with You!

Lynn's finger, resting on the female goblin's wrist, suddenly stiffened.

Immediately after.

The smile on Lynn's face slowly faded, then he raised his head, looking seriously and solemnly at the dark-skinned goblin.

The surroundings instantly fell into a silence.

The goblin was also taken aback.

His heart gave a thud.

"Did you discover some illness, Doctor?"

Because a doctor who was all smiles just a moment ago suddenly turning serious—no matter how you think about it, that doesn't seem like good news.

Lynn adjusted his monocle and said earnestly, "It's nothing serious, just some slight malnutrition. A little recuperation will be fine."

Hearing this, the goblin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said,"That's a relief, Doctor, you really scared me! I thought my child might have mutated!"

But Lynn's expression remained earnest and serious.

He thought for a moment.

Then, he had the nurse temporarily wheel the female goblin's bed to the side, thoughtfully glanced at the goblin's dark skin, and asked,

"There's a question I'd really like to ask. I wonder if it's convenient for you to answer."

The goblin blinked. "What question?"

Lynn organized his words, pondering as he spoke, "May I ask, is the skin color of your entire tribe black?"

The goblin was stunned for a second, then said with a smile,

"Of course! Doctor, you're joking. If a Dark Goblin's skin isn't black, what other color could it possibly be? Our ancestors have been black for generations!"

Lynn asked hesitantly, "Are there any exceptions, though? Like red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and such..."

The goblin immediately laughed so hard tears were about to come out, clutching his stomach as he said,

"Doctor, stop joking, that's absolutely impossible. Our bloodline is very pure. However, there are other goblin tribes with different skin colors around our tribe, but we usually have very good relations with them."

"For example, last time, when my good brothers from those other tribes knew I was coming back today, they were lined up outside my house waiting for me before dawn even broke! Calling me 'Big Brother' one after another, I was almost embarrassed by it myself!"

Lynn was speechless!

A long while later.

Lynn looked at the jubilant goblin in front of him, then turned his head to glance at the goblin's wife.

Lynn took a deep breath and rubbed his temples.

"Wait a moment, please."

Lynn closed his eyes, quickly called the nearby nurses, and urgently had someone arrange a room for him, saying he'd only need it for a few minutes.

...

A few minutes later.

The goblin knocked on the door.

Lynn's voice came from inside.

"Come in."

The goblin was still immersed in the joy of being the father of five children, pushed the door open with a cheerful expression, and walked in, saying,

"Doctor, I'm here. We could have talked about the Medicine to Stabilize Pregnancy outside, why did you need to..."

But the moment he stepped inside, he froze when he saw Lynn's attire.

Lynn was sitting there properly, eyes closed, but unlike before, he had changed his outfit at this moment.

A green shirt, green pants, a green vest, and a green hat.

"Come, have a seat."

Lynn opened his eyes, smiled politely, and gestured for him to sit on the chair.

The goblin stared blankly at Lynn, walked over, and sat on the chair, saying,

"Doctor, why did you suddenly change clothes? And why are they all green?"

Lynn pushed up the brim of his green hat, revealing his green gloves, took a sharp breath, and said with a sigh,

"Well, this touches upon some special principles in sociology, the study of male-female relationships, and the art of implication. If you'd like to study it further, I could chat with you about it."

The goblin chuckled and scratched the back of his head, saying,

"As expected of a Night Doctor, your knowledge is indeed vast. So different from us country bumpkins."

Lynn lightly coughed, closed his eyes, and said,

"Of course, calling you here, stabilizing the pregnancy is definitely the main topic. However, before that, I'd still like to share a few little fables with you. I wonder if you're interested?"

The goblin was stunned. "Fables?"

Lynn closed his eyes, raised a finger, and said, "Mm, it's like this. This story is from my world, and it's very old, but profoundly meaningful. The story goes..."

"Once upon a time, there was a married couple. The husband was a businessman who often traveled. His wife was a very beautiful woman, and she was also skilled at needlework!"

The goblin listened with wide eyes, nodding up and down.

"Originally, they were very happy and harmonious," Lynn said with closed eyes.

"But then, one day, a cloth seller suddenly got involved with that woman. Behind the husband's back, the two of them engaged in some very... intense activities."

The goblin's eyes widened, and the speed of his nodding increased.

Lynn glanced at him with a sigh and said, "And then, taking advantage of the husband's absence, they kept... kept..."

The goblin exclaimed in surprise, "That wild?!"

Lynn raised a hand to stop him, closed his eyes, and said, "Don't randomly insert yourself into a role that isn't yours. Let me finish first."

The goblin nodded vigorously.

Lynn coughed, cleared his throat, glanced at him, gathered his emotions, and said,

"But later, that husband came back and stayed home for several months. The cloth seller was so anxious, pacing day and night, burning with impatience, but just couldn't find an opportunity. Eventually, he couldn't hold back anymore and quietly slipped in under cover of darkness, planning to find his, well, the wife..."

The goblin exclaimed in surprise, "Wouldn't that take all night?!"

Lynn closed his eyes, cutting him off, "No! Before anything could happen, the husband suddenly returned. The cloth seller was so scared he hid in a cabinet, trembling and not daring to come out the entire night!"

The goblin blurted out, "Not coming back earlier or later, why did he have to come back right at this moment?! Isn't that ruining a good thing?!"

Lynn glanced at him and said,

"Indeed. So, after learning this lesson, that woman came up with a plan. She had the cloth seller specially make a dashing, bright green hat. Then, she affectionately gave it to her husband, telling him..."

"The wind and sand outside are strong. Wearing this very handsome hat will keep your hairstyle from getting messy. When you wear this hat, you won't have to worry about me anymore. How wonderful."

"Her husband was overjoyed to hear this!"

Lynn closed his eyes, crossed his arms, and said,

"So, every time he went out on business, he would wear this dashing, bright green hat, parading through the streets, often showing it off to others."

"And then?" the goblin asked, dumbfounded.

Lynn looked at him seriously, slapped the table, and said, "That very day, the cloth seller slept with his wife!"

The goblin's face was full of astonishment.

Lynn seriously adjusted his monocle and said, "And later on, every time the cloth seller saw her husband going out wearing the green hat, he would be overjoyed, treat him like a brother, even calling him 'Big Brother'."

Lynn took a sip of tea, glanced at the stunned goblin opposite him, and said,

"I've finished the story. So, after hearing this little fable, what insights or reflections do you have?"

The surroundings fell into brief silence.

Then, the goblin clutched his stomach and burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha! That husband was too stupid! Getting cuckolded and not even knowing it, hahaha! That's really hilarious! Could there really be such a fool in this world?! Hahaha!"

Lynn: "..."
