Patty shrugged without batting an eyelash, “Actually it’s not that I have money, rather it’s my family who has it. Dipping my finger into the coffer is not a big deal, considering most long-living monsters are deep-pocketed.”

“Family? I’ve been meaning to ask for a while now. From the way it sounds, you are from the West, right? A vampire’s family…. Wouldn’t that make it a Blood Clan?” Dawn asked with a wry face.

Patty nods expectantly, “Of course we are. What else were you expecting my family to be? In fact, those Werewolves were once called wolf demons at one point in time. There’s not much difference between the Western and Eastern hemisphere, merely a different name by you humans and living environment. In the end, we’re all the same.”

“I see. I get it now.” Dawn nodded, not disagreeing with that logic as he leaned back against the seat to take a breather. “The car’s air conditioning is so nice after running around all day in the heat.”

Although the hospital has a central air conditioning system in place, the temperature of the corridors and stairwells were not so friendly. On top of that, they were running up and down repeatedly through the various wards. It’s a given Dawn would build up a sweat after hours of walking. Right now he only wants to go back and take a hot bath.

“You guys came during the day?” Patty’s voice became astonished, “When did you arrive at the hospital?”

“It’s probably two o’clock in the afternoon. Looking for you took a few hours, and if we didn’t get a hint later about the underground morgue, we would still be hanging around the hospital.”

Thinking of this instantly made Dawn depressed. He’s come to the realization of how unreliable the pendant was at heart. Today it’s a casual waste of their time, but what about next time? Lose a day or week?

“Uh…” Patty’s face suddenly became very embarrassed as she unconsciously looked to the other side. This was the behavior of someone wanting to say something but finding it too shameful.

“What’s wrong?” Dawn asked curiously after picking up on the oddity.

Patty hesitated for a moment but explained, “Uh, that… actually, I was asleep during the afternoon due to the strong sunlight. I’m a vampire so I’m not too fond of the sun. Maybe that’s why you didn’t get the hint earlier for that reason….”

The car suddenly got very quiet.

“I knew it… When I found out Patty was a vampire, I suspected as much.” Shadow’s pouting voice came from the back, “These Blood Races are known to flip their sleeping times around. It’s been like this since ancient times…. Oh, Night Nobles, that’s what they used to call your people, didn’t they?”

No matter how one listened to it, there’s a kind of resentment in her words.

Dawn certainly wouldn’t blame Patty for having a different work schedule. After all, it’s not her fault for being another race with different habits. In the end, it’s the pendant’s fault for offering so little information.

“Sssszzz!” From out of the blue, Patty suddenly slammed on the brake and shattered the atmosphere in the car, sending everyone hitting the front with their foreheads.

Did we hit someone?

The party did not hesitate and quickly got out to check on the injured. However, instead of finding a patient needing help, they were welcomed with a sight of a woman flailing around on the ground while holding her leg and screaming in pain.

“My car did not touch you. You’re the one who got on the ground and started screaming.” Patty’s expression had turned into a frown as she eyed the woman.

“Didn’t hit?” Dawn turned to Ms. Vampire and asked.

“Of course not, my Maserati has one of the best brakes in the field. See? There is still a meter of distance between her and my car.” Patty was extremely unhappy with this situation and found it troubling. She had never experienced this sort of thing before.

Dawn naturally believed what Patty was saying. Besides, it’s not like he’s a country bumpkin who only came to the city recently. There are plenty of reports about con artists pretending to be hurt by a car and demanding payment. It’s obvious enough they’ve run into one.
