Doctor Player Chapter 46
The heaviest red blood cells are in the lower layer, white white blood cells in the middle, and clear plasma containing platelets floated above them.
Raymond isolated the plasma and injected it into Rao.
“…What the hell is this treatment?”
Rao made a puzzled face when the blood of another person entered his body.
“Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
“There is nothing in particular. It just doesn’t feel like much.”
It didn’t take long before the transfusion was over.
“Are you done now?”
“That’s right. There will be less chance of dangerous bleeding now.”
It is not possible to measure the exact platelet count, but it must have been at least 20,000 because he had a blood transfusion.
Even at that level, fatal bleeding such as cerebral hemorrhage and pulmonary hemorrhage rarely occurs. It passed the hurdle.
A day or two had passed since then.
Rao gradually lost his fever and was able to get out of bed without any bleeding.
“….”
Rao stood in front of Raymond with a reddened face.
Raymond leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs arrogantly.
“Hmm. Do you have something to say to me?”
“…thanked.”
“what? Can’t you hear me well?”
What a thank you from the son of the count!
When will such luxury come again?
Raymond decided to pick as many mulberry(?) as possible.
“Thank you….”
“yes? What do you say”
“…thanks.”
“Can you make your voice a little louder because I have a hard of hearing?”
“….”
Lao’s face turned red.
Thinking that his fist would come flying if he teased him further, Raymond quickly changed his stance.
‘Cause he’s weak and weak The fist in front of my eyes is scary.
“Hmm. Anyway, I’m glad you’re feeling better.”
Lao bit his lip.
“I will never forget my promise. From now on, I will treat you as my older brother… ….”
“It’s done.”
“yes?”
“I just said it.”
Raymond said with a cool face.
“Ex-therapist. I’m glad enough that you’ve recovered. There is no other price required.”
Lao’s eyes were stained with confusion.
It seems that he doesn’t understand Raymond’s intentions.
‘What’s your intention? They’re trying to trick you.’
Raymond smiled inwardly.
Even if you try to force him to serve you as an elder brother, if you don’t win his heart, it’s in vain.
I had to serve him as an elder brother from the heart.
“why…I don’t know what you mean.”
“I am just a therapist thinking of patients. I don’t care about anything but patients getting better. The bet I made then was only a provocation to get you cured.”
It’s an unspoken lie.
“….”
Lao fell silent in the confusion.
Then Hanson, who was next to him, stepped out.
“I dare to say something. The Baron Baron I know is a man who sacrifices everything for his patients. To the point where I feel like an idiot.”
“….”
“So please do not look upon such a fine man with suspicion. to be honest…It’s very unpleasant. Had I been a knight, I would have challenged you to a duel in the honor of Baron Pennin.”
Hanson showed it differently than usual, being blunt. It was as if his parents had been swearing at him.
Rao finally raised the white flag.
‘I don’t know. Did I misjudge?’
Although he couldn’t completely throw away the awkwardness in a corner of his heart, in the end, Rao knelt down.
I came to recognize Raymond’s greatness.
‘It seems that jealousy has clouded your judgment. Let’s reflect.’
When Chancellor Galman praised Raymond, he seemed to blindly think badly out of jealousy.
‘…It’s a shame to regard it as simple jealousy.’
However, Rao shook his head strongly.
This awkwardness is probably because of not completely abandoning jealousy.
‘It’s ugly Lao! I can’t let go of my jealousy even after this! Stop doubting! I feel a bit like a cheater, but that’s only because of my jealousy! He is a great man!’
He is a strict man to himself.
Jealousy was unacceptable.
I reflected and bowed my head sincerely.
“I’m sorry for misunderstanding you without foundation. I sincerely apologize. From now on, I will treat you as my older brother!”
Raymond laughed inwardly at those words.
Of course, he shook his head like this pretending to be cool on the outside.
“No, you don’t have to….”
“no. From now on, I swear that I, Rao of Count Kaplan, will serve Baroness Penin as my older brother for the rest of my life.”
An innocent (?) young man with such a promising future fell for Raymond’s scam (?).
‘Oops!’
No wonder Raymond cheered inwardly.
Incidentally, Raymond and Rao were the same age.
But that didn’t matter.
Now Raymond was the older brother.
‘Huh. good.’
If he was a manager, he was a high-ranking official within the administration.
In other words, how can you not be happy to have a promising administrative elite as your younger brother?
Laughter came out of nowhere.
What’s more, additionally earned bonuses.
[Achievement: ‘First blood transfusion’ achieved!]
[Your name will be recorded in the history of medicine!]
[Bonus level up!]
[Bonus skill points are given 100 points!]
Thanks to you, level 38 rose to!
Level 40, the standard for promotion, was just around the corner.
Of course, that wasn’t the case for laughing all the time.
The patient continued to develop.
“Queen Baron! Another patient has blue spots on his body!”
“Here is the patient!”
Fortunately, there were no additional casualties.
It was thanks to the fact that he warned people in advance and responded quickly whenever there was a patient.
Fortunately, the poor did not refuse blood transfusions. It was because his trust in Raymond was so deep.
“You have to do as the prince tells you to do.”
“There’s no way our prince would recommend the wrong way, right?”
When the patient who believed in Raymond and received a blood transfusion recovered perfectly, people responded, ‘As expected, our prince!’
“I’m so glad. If it wasn’t for the prince, how many people would have died.”
“Yes, since the prince is here, there is no need to worry about contagious diseases.”
People praised Raymond and breathed a sigh of relief.
So the situation fell into a lull.
On the other hand, inside a dark secret room that exists somewhere at that time.
Somehow shady figures were having a conversation.
“What happened? Should there be mayhem by now?”
They were the ones behind the plot!
They were discussing this situation with serious faces.
“that is…All of the poor have no great agitation.”
“Because Baron Pennin has complete control of the situation. There are few victims and the poor are calmly going about their daily lives.”
Man Black let out a drool.
He was the person who reported to the unidentified man behind the crystal sphere, and he was the one who planned and executed this work directly on the spot.
“The people aren’t disturbed by Baron Pennin?”
“Yes, his presence seems to give people a great sense of security. When he told me not to worry because it wasn’t spreading from person to person, everyone listened to him and found peace.”
“No, what is that…Everyone said yes because Baron Pennin said a word?”
I talk about it, but the fear of the plague is beyond imagination.
But to calm everyone down with just one word. How many people believe and follow it?
He won’t be able to do that even if King Auden of the Houston Kingdom comes.
“Moreover, we are treating foot and foot in patients. So even the poor, who were a little agitated at first, are not afraid to do so.”
“…Wasn’t it an incurable disease? When we checked, wearing heels actually made it worse, right?”
“I’m sure it was, but it’s said that one of the ancient secret arts is treating them through a secret technique called ‘blood transfusion’… ….”
Black made a ridiculous face.
In any case, things were not going as intended.
‘I was going to wreak havoc in the Bay Area through a pandemic. damn it What the hell is that lowly illegitimate bastard, Baron Pennin?’
It was already the second.
The lowly illegitimate son interfering with their work.
“Don’t worry though. It’s still in the early stages, so it’s controllable, but soon the number of patients will increase uncontrollably. Then even the arrival of Baronet Pennin’s grandfather will not be able to stop the situation.”
The man nodded.
The subordinates were right.
Soon the number of patients will increase. No matter what kind of talent the lowly illegitimate son had, it was unreasonable.
‘Yeah, don’t worry. After a little while, no matter who comes, we won’t be able to stop our plans.’
Black suppressed his anxiety and waited for the plan to succeed.
* * *
However, contrary to their expectations, Raymond was clearly aware of the fact that the number of patients was increasing and was contemplating countermeasures.
‘The number of patients is increasing. There must be an increasing number of causative agents somewhere in the Bay Area.’
Raymond decided that the cause had to be rooted out as quickly as possible.
‘First of all, we need to accurately identify the pathogen that carries the disease.’
The pathogenesis of the disease was clear.
Certain pathogens cause severe thrombocytopenia.
The problem is that there are so many infectious diseases that cause this phenomenon.
‘Ticks, lice, fleas, mosquitoes, camels, rats, and flies can all carry the pathogens that cause these diseases.’
We had to figure out which of them was the cause and eradicate them.
‘Originally, such an epidemic did not exist in the capital of the kingdom. it came from outside What is it?’
Raymond’s eyes widened.
‘Something’s strange. New contagious diseases can be introduced into places with high trade, such as the Peninsula Kingdom or the Alliance of Free Cities of the Ecliptic, but a new contagious disease in the Houston Kingdom?’
The Houston Kingdom was not a country that lived on trade. trade was low.
I don’t think it’s a contagious disease transmitted from person to person, but this kind of contagious disease is introduced?
‘Isn’t it someone’s conspiracy?’
Raymond made a chilling guess.
‘There is nothing certain yet, so let’s think about this problem again after uncovering the identity of the disease. The priority is to find out which pathogens were brought in from the outside.’
Raymond got up from his seat.
‘If the epidemic spreads further like this, it will be out of control. I have to root it out right now!’
Rao, now fully recovered, caught up with Raymond.
“Do you know something, brother?”
“Kuh hmm. Lao?”
“Your brother?”
“hmm.”
“…older brother?”
Raymond almost smiled without realizing it when Rao called him ‘Brother’ in succession, but quickly straightened his expression.
‘It’s always nice to hear Rao call me hyung-nim. The son of a count is my younger brother! ‘Kuh-kuh.’
Rao looked at Raymond suspiciously for a moment, then shook his head.
“What are you going to do?”
“I’m going to see where the patients stayed.”
