Doctor Player Chapter 223
‘Surgery’s no problem. Even the surrounding lymph nodes have been cleaned, so the chance of the cancer recurring will be low.’
Raymond looked at Oden’s face as he lay still unconscious.
Still, her complexion was much better than before.
In fact, my vital signs have also become much more stable.
‘The problem has complications.’
It was not a complication caused by a wrong surgical site.
‘Stress-induced heart failure.’
Stress-induced heart failure (SCMP)!
In extreme stress situations such as shock or major trauma surgery, problems with the function of the heart occur.
‘Fortunately, it’s not a complication to worry about.’
Since the cause has been resolved, stress-induced heart failure will naturally recover over time.
‘Fortnight? One month at most? Since he’s a sword master, at least he’ll get better before then.’
Heart failure itself isn’t much of a concern, but there was one more problem.
‘…Delirium comes to the sword master.’
Raymond made a puzzled face.
Delirium!
Likewise, when the body is under extreme stress, symptoms of delirium come.
Even in the modern world, if you go to the hospital, there are many patients who suffer from such delirium symptoms after surgery.
It is a complication that anyone can experience after surgery, but it was unexpected that delirium came to the sword master with a strong mind and body.
‘I never imagined that a sword master would suffer from delirium.’
Raymond shook his head.
But the sword master is also human. It was possible enough.
“Keuk… …oops.”
Oden frowned at what kind of delusion he was going through, moaning intermittently.
‘What kind of confusion is this?’
Raymond tilted his head.
The symptoms of delirium differed from person to person.
I don’t know what kind of delusion he’s going through, but he has a very distressed look on his face.
At that time, Chancellor Galman asked anxiously.
“Is Her Highness all right?”
“ah…yes. Complications came, but they will all recover over time. Don’t worry.”
Raymond nodded his head, not worrying too much.
Whether it’s delirium or stress-induced heart failure, it naturally improves when the body’s condition improves.
In the case of Oden, since the underlying disease has been cured, all you have to do is wait for him to recover his physical strength.
“I think it will get better in about a fortnight.”
“iced coffee!”
Chancellor Galman shed tears.
“Thank you. thank you so much. Marquis Pennin, you saved the kingdom of Houston!”
Raymond just laughed silently.
He thought to his dark mind.
‘You don’t have to thank me so much. As promised, I’m going to rip them all off.’
4 million penas!
Tax free benefits!
A mining estate that makes money!
These were the rewards he was supposed to receive this time.
I won’t give you a single penny.
‘Don’t ask me to shave it later hehe.’
Raymond looked at King Auden’s face.
I hope you wake up soon.
to steal money Taking money from Oden would be very, very exciting.
‘I’ll have to accept an apology.’
Raymond closed his eyes and thought. I had to accept an apology as promised.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll forgive Oden. I just wanted to see Oden lower his head.
‘I have other things to do. I have to deal with Cairn.’
Yes, King Auden was cured, but all problems were never over.
Cairn had to be dealt with for sure.
‘There’s no way Cairn would just hang his head like this. The problem is that dealing with him isn’t easy.’
Of course, this time Cairn made a big mistake.
But I couldn’t completely deal with him with that alone.
‘There are still many supporters following him.’
Raymond crossed his arms.
‘So I have to use a method.’
method.
Raymond came up with a way to break Cairn’s power.
‘It’s a very good way to break the guy’s power while earning money.’
Raymond smiled meaningfully and turned his gaze to Galman.
“Your Highness will be fine now, so leave it to me and rest.”
“No, I am fine. You should rest a little. Haven’t you had a good night’s sleep since arriving in the capital?”
“I’m fine….”
Then Christine frowned.
“What is fine? With a complexion like death.”
“yes?”
“I think Master’s face will collapse at any moment.”
Raymond tilted his head, looked in the mirror, and was startled.
It was the color of death.
‘Aren’t you tired? Ah skill!’
Raymond recalled the description of the ‘Untiring Monster’ skill he had obtained earlier.
[Fatigue is greatly reduced even if you do not sleep!]
‘Hmm… …Oh, isn’t this dangerous?’
Raymond broke out in a cold sweat.
It’s good when treating patients because it greatly reduces fatigue, but it seemed like it would damage your health if you did it wrong.
‘no! I have to live a healthy life and enjoy wealth and fame for a long time!’
For reference, his list of creeds also included the statement ‘Health is supreme’.
Christine pushed Raymond on the back.
“I will take care of your Highness, so please rest. Come on!”
So Raymond was kicked out of the hospital room.
‘Okay, let’s rest a bit.’
Vital signs stabilized, so it seemed like there wouldn’t be a big problem without him.
As they walked to the temporary lodgings provided by the palace, Raymond admired the view of the corridor.
‘Wow, these works of art. How much should I sell it for?’
Like an old kingdom, venerable artworks were placed everywhere.
‘If you sell all the artworks in the palace, 4 million pennies will be enough, right? Hehe.’
Raymond laughed because he thought it was all his money.
Then an unexpected voice was heard.
“Are you interested in painting?”
chilly face.
It was Sophia!
“Oh, I was just watching. The picture is nice.”
Raymond replied coolly.
She glanced at the painting Raymond was looking at and said:
“You can take it with you if you like.”
“yes?”
“This painting is a masterpiece gifted to the royal family by Count Dronique, a famous painter of the time, 150 years ago. Even in the entire empire, only 5 of his paintings remain, so they are of great value. You can take it with you if you want.”
Sophia looked straight at Raymond.
“That’s because you’ve done a great favor to our royal family. You can take whatever you want.”
‘What’s wrong with this princess all of a sudden?’
Raymond made a puzzled face.
I was thinking of brushing it off anyway, but it was embarrassing to do that first.
But something even more shocking happened after that.
Sophia did something incredible.
She grabbed the dress with both hands and bowed her head towards Raymond.
“It’s late, but I’ll take this opportunity to tell you. I, Sophia, express my sincere gratitude on behalf of the royal family for the kindness you have shown me.”
It was a courteous yet polite greeting of gratitude towards the benefactor.
Why do you hear that greeting?
Raymond couldn’t explain… …I felt overwhelmed.
‘That mean princess set an example like that for me.’
It reminded me of the disrespectful treatment suffered by countless people in the previous royal palace.
But now, he has become the one who receives thanks from the princess like this.
I felt as if a resentment built up in my heart was cut off.
Raymond wanted to shout to himself like this.
it’s unique You’ve worked hard so far.
Thanks to this success, I was able to press everyone’s nose.
‘Today is beef as a commemoration. Hanson… …I don’t have any, so I’ll have to ask the royal chef to grill the sirloin.’
Thinking so, I answered Sophia’s greeting.
“no. As a healer and a servant of the kingdom, I just did what I had to do.”
But Sophia said another unexpected thing.
“Abama will give you a separate reward for this achievement. However, before that, I would like to repay you from a personal standpoint. Is there anything you wish for?”
It meant that Sophia would give the prize separately under the authority of a princess.
At the unexpected reward time, Raymond swallowed his mouth.
‘Rewards are always good.’
1 What can be extracted from her, the princess?
Raymond, worried, was soon disappointed.
‘There’s not much to rip off.’
Sophia is a princess, but she doesn’t have a lot of wealth or great power.
So there was nothing to ask for.
‘Well, it’s a shame to just skip it. Oh, this should be fine.’
He smiled contemptuously at the thought that flashed into his mind.
“Are any requests okay?”
“…As long as you can listen.”
“Then, please treat me as your own flesh in private.”
Raymond made an evil face inwardly.
‘He’s been nice to me lately, but I’ll have to pay back the old grievances.’
I mean, it was revenge.
About her who was mean to him as a child.
‘I’ll be very proud of myself. I can’t follow you.’
Raymond wondered how she would react.
Of course, Raymond didn’t really want her to be treated like family.
Goosebumps would rise if she really treated him friendly.
‘After moderately embarrassing, it’s something that didn’t happen… ….’
Raymond, who had been imagining it inwardly, was taken aback.
That’s what Sophia answered.
“Brother.”
“yes?”
“Is it okay if I call you like this from now on, brother?”
The reaction was nothing at all!
Sophia snorted.
“What are you thinking? I’ve never for a moment considered you not part of my family. I always thought of you as my brother.”
Raymond made an absurd face.
‘…Did you consider me family? But why so many sprouts?’
Sophia was excited as if she had noticed his feelings.
“Do I treat everyone like this, not only to you, but to all my other brothers? Have you seen me being kind to anyone?”
“….”
In other words, it meant that he had no original personality, and it did not mean that he was discriminated against.
‘…Come to think of it, it seems that way.’
Raymond recalled the correspondence she had sent him in the past.
Correspondence was invariably a careless tone of voice.
It turns out that she thought of him as family and sent him away.
“Anyway, you are my brother. I’m treating you as a brother, so don’t misunderstand that I like you.”
“….”
Raymond kept his mouth shut.
It seemed to have lost somehow.
Then she made a sudden statement.
“Instead of calling you brother, may I say something to you?”
“Tell me.”
“I’m sorry about my childhood.”
“…!”
Raymond’s eyes widened.
Sophia bowed her head again with a serious face.
“At that time, after Mama passed away, you were mentally disturbed…No, I caused a lot of trouble to my older brother. It’s a childhood thing, but it’s a clear mistake. I now formally apologize.”
Raymond kept his mouth shut.
‘…I don’t know what to say if it comes out like that.’
Raymond sighed.
Sofia was also on the list of regrettable persons.
But curiously, the moment I heard that apology, I felt that the core of my heart was being disturbed little by little.
‘no. You can’t just unwrap all the apples at once.’
Raymond crossed his arms.
Yes, he is a man with a back end.
I couldn’t hit it with just one apology.
‘I have to make sure that he treats me well from now on. As much as he did wrong to me.’
Raymond was determined.
To make Sophia into a Hogu.
“If you’re really sorry for me, could you do me a favor?”
“Yes, say anything.”
Raymond opened his mouth with a serious face.
‘I’ll make you a Hogu.’
