Chapter 43

“…Stop. You’ve arrived at the official residence.”

“Oh, I see. I didn’t even know we arrived because I was talking. Thank you for your hard work.” The coachman raised his thumb.

“Anyway, I didn’t have time, so I only talked a little bit but…… He’s the best.”

“…….”

After arriving at the official residence, it was even more impressive.

“The prince… There will be no one like him anywhere in the world.”

“If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t have been able to get well even if we were sick, and we would have been harrassed by the bad guys for the rest of our lives.”

“That’s not all. These days, we live with hope thanks to him. I’m sure the Bay Area will be a good place to live.” 

No matter who he asked, Rao only received embarrassing compliments to hear.

‘…what kind of reaction is this? Did he use hallucinatory magic to seduce people?’

It was like some kind of pseudo-religious zealot.

Lao felt it intuitively.

‘Baroness Penin. What if he’s a con artist?’

Everyone is fascinated, but they are so firmly fascinated by him.

‘An angel from heaven. Hero. The best prince on the continent…… Isn’t he such a great man?’

‘To say that he doesn’t think about himself but only the good for others… What nonsense. If that’s true, Raymond must be a saint.”

It was an unexpectedly sharp reasoning.

He immediately ran to the Penin treatment center where Raymond was.

***

[You can sense the true force!]

[The other person’s true power has been confirmed to be “medium”]

“Are you Baroness Penin?”

Raymond frowned slightly at the young man who appeared out of nowhere.This is because he seemed to have come to argue with anyone.

“My name is Lao, the new manager in the Bay Area. I have something to tell you…….”

“Excuse me, can I talk to you later? I’m in the process of treating a patient.”

[Skill: “True Countermeasure” is activated!]

‘Let’s not deal with it.’

At first glance, it’s the opponent who’s come to openly pick a quarrel.

‘Let’s ignore it.’

‘I have nothing to regret if he is the manager.’

Raymond is a healer anyway.

‘I didn’t have to look good for the manager.’

Moreover, Count Kaplan had no power to do any harm to him because he was a much weaker family than in the past.

So Raymond decided to go strong.

Because his  creed is strong and weak!

“I’m the new Administrator…….”

“Oh, yes, I heard. I heard there’s a wonderful person coming, but I didn’t realize they’re sending such a great person. I’m glad you’re thinking of overseeing the Bay Area. However, there’s a lot of patients waiting for me.”

“…….”

“The treatment of patients comes first, so I’m really sorry, but I’d appreciate it if you could wait.”

“……I see.”

“As expected! I believed that if you were a good manager, Lao, you would fully understand.”

Lao waited like a sack of barley as he groaned.

Of course, even after waiting, his turn did not yet come.

Because the patients kept coming in.

Eventually, Lao waited and waited until he jumped out of his seat.

“Oh, you just have to wait a little longer! Will you get up already?”

“…That’s enough.”

“I’m sorry there are a lot of patients. I’ll see you next time.”

Lao quickly disappeared as he was offended.

***

Lao disappeared in a fit of anger. Lao, who left the treatment center, was sure.

‘As expected, he was a crook. ‘That pretentious voice, that look.’

Lao recalled Raymond’s face treating the patient.

It was very kind, but it was clear that it was all dressed up.

‘My eyes are sharp. He’s pretending to be kind to the patients.’

Surprisingly, it was a correct judgment!

A genius who graduated from the Royal Academy at the top?

It penetrated Raymond’s truth that no one had ever seen.

‘That’s enough. I don’t care about him anymore,’ Lao spat.

He’s a big man.

‘I didn’t mean to harm him for noticing his mask.’

‘Because he hasn’t done anything wrong yet.’

‘I was just going to ignore it completely.’

“Even Duke Galman’s eyes have melted. I can’t believe I have to work with him to manage the Bay Area.’

Lao drew a red line on Raymond’s name in his head.

I’ll never meet him again.

***

Meanwhile, Raymond could not even afford to think of Lao.

Suddenly something urgent happened at the treatment center!

Bang!

It was an urgent knock, so  Raymond hurriedly opened the door.

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s a big deal, healer!”

It was a poor man who lived nearby. There was a young man on his back who was unconscious.

Raymond’s face hardened in an unusual condition.

“What happened?”

“This is my younger brother who works with me, but when he didn’t come to work, I visited him and then found him unconscious like this.” 

Raymond hurriedly examined the patient’s condition. 

‘He is completely unconscious. He doesn’t respond to pain at all.’

 He was in a coma!

“Why did this happen all of a sudden?”’

Raymond checked this and that in more detail.

Pupil conditions and various neurological reflections. All were confirmed and diagnosed.

“It’s a cerebral hemorrhage!”

Brain hemorrhage. Bleeding in the brain. It’s a terrible disease.

It was difficult to save him easily, and even if he survived, there would be fatal aftereffects.

‘He’s a patient I can’t save with my skills.’

Raymond bit his lips.

No, even if his skills are at the level of “specialist” or “professor,” this patient cannot be saved.

It’s already late.

‘Brainstem has lost its function. No doctor can save him.’

Raymond shook his head heavily.

“I think it’s too late.”

“Oh…!”

The man who brought the patient looked like the sky was about to collapse. It seems that they were very close with each other.

Raymond’s chest also became heavy.

“Damn it. This kind of feeling… I just can’t get used to it.’

He is a snobbish healer.

However, he couldn’t be calm about losing a patient.

‘I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it.’

‘I need to know how this happened.’

Raymond clenched his fist.

“Something is weird. He is not even hurt. I can’t believe such a young person is bleeding in the brain.’

“Did anything special happen yesterday? Did he ever get a head shock?”

“Yes, it was distant just yesterday. He was a little tired, but it is normal when you work…….”

Raymond examined the patient again. He carefully examined not only his body: face, arms, and legs, but also the inside of his hair, which cannot be easily seen with the eyes. Raymond even also checked near the anus area.

Then something unusual was observed.

‘There’s a petechial hemorrhage on the inside of the skin.’

There were faint spots spread out, as if they were bruised blue.

It was a gradual hemorrhage! The implications of this point bleeding were one.

‘It’s not just a brain hemorrhage. He bled because of thrombocytopenia!’

Platelets are the blood components responsible for the hemostasis in our body.

However, if the number of platelets decreases for some reason, the blood flow does not stop easily. If it is severely reduced, life-threatening bleeding such as pulmonary hemorrhage and cerebral hemorrhage can occur.

‘Why did his platelets decrease?’

Raymond thought about it, but he couldn’t easily guess.

There were many cases where platelets fell.

It may be due to blood diseases, or it may fall even further when other conditions are acutely bad. It’s also common in viral infections.

“Don’t be so upset, healer. It isn’t the healer’s fault.” Raymond’s face was too heavy, and the guardian who brought the patient said rather comfortingly.

Raymond nodded bitterly.

The next few days passed.

Three days later.

It happened again.

A deceased patient was brought in.

This time it was a lung hemorrhage!

“Baron!”

“What happened?”

“We don’t know exactly. He didn’t feel ill today, and suddenly he threw up blood and became like this.”

Raymond’s face hardened.

The patient had already died. There was a lot of dead blood around his mouth. He coughed up massive amounts of blood, choking on his breath, and eventually dying instantly.

‘Why is there a patient with serious bleeding again?’

A cold ominousness passed by Raymond’s spine.

Upon closer examination, he found common ground with the previous patient.

It was a gradual hemorrhage! This patient also died of platelet reduction.

‘No way.’

Raymond swallowed the lump in his throat.

There was only one reason for the prevalence of platelet reduction, a rare disease.

Epidemic.

An infectious disease.

There’s a deadly platelet-decreasing virus circulating here in the Bay Area!

***

The Bay Area is a closed area.

The rumor spread quickly.

“I can’t believe you vomited so much blood.”

“Isn’t it a dangerous contagious disease?”

“A few days ago, a young man in the alley across the street suddenly died for no reason.”

The poor were buzzing with anxiety.

“Shouldn’t we leave this place right now?”

“Yes, we may fall ill and die here!”

At that time, the newly appointed manager, Lao, appeared.

“Don’t worry, everyone! I will take care of everything, even if it’s an epidemic.”

But the people only snorted.

In their eyes, Lao, who was so young. He looked like an inexperienced child.

“How will you solve it?”

“I’ll figure out the cause…….”

“It’s an epidemic. Two people have already died!”

“We might all die too!”

“Argh!”

As anyone can tell, people’s fear of infectious diseases in this era was beyond imagination.

The people of the Bay Area quickly panicked.

“Oh, no. Everyone, calm down…….”

Lao tried to patch up the people somehow, but to no avail.

But it was that moment!

Someone said this.

“Don’t worry! Don’t we have the prince?”

The moment the cry spreads.

An amazing miracle has happened!

The agitated people quickly began to find stability.

“Yes! What are we worried about? Raymond will solve everything on his own!”

“That’s right! Shame on everyone! You didn’t trust the prince!”

[Q: The effect of “The Savior of the Poor” is manifested!]

[Exercise absolute influence on the poor!]

[It gives stability to the agitated people of the slums!]

The Bay Area people looked at Raymond with eyes full of faith and trust.

Then it was Raymond who was embarrassed.

‘Who do you think I am and believe me so recklessly? I’m not very confident.’ 

Raymond looked troubled.

How many kinds of infectious diseases are there in the world?

In particular, the infectious disease of Laipentaina was different in type and characteristics from the infectious disease of the “Earth.”

They say that there are many diseases that deviate from the knowledge of “medicine.”

So he wasn’t sure he could solve it either.

But it seems wrong to back off.

“Everyone, let’s all be safe and trust only the prince!”

“Yes!”

“Long live the Prince!”

“Long live Prince Raymond!”

Raymond frowned at the cry of the people as if the epidemic seemed to have already been resolved.

‘God, I’m afraid of infectious diseases too!’

‘But I couldn’t help it.’

And it was right for him to come forward with this kind of thing.

It was a healer’s duty to take responsibility for people’s lives.
