Queen of the Scalpel - Chapter 33 - The Impossible Surgery

Chapter 33: The Impossible Surgery

What he had dreamed to be. It was something he couldn’t reach. But couldn’t she? It was too quick to think of that of someone who had just entered the medical field. But for some reason, he couldn’t help but think about it.

***

After that, Elise became a celebrity in Teresa Hospital. A girl that had just entered the hospital saved a tension pneumothorax patient! Because there had been a lot of witnesses, the news spread like wildfire.

“It’s her.”

“Really? That young girl? Stop pulling my leg. She looks like she’d be scared of needles.”

“I’m not lying. I saw it myself.”

“Haaa…that makes no sense. She looks like a sheltered young noble girl raised without a need, but you’re telling me she pierced a needle through the chest wall and saved a patient?”

“Yeah, I was surprised too. She got blood on her face, but she didn’t even blink!”

Elise had a pretty face that got attention wherever she went. But people talked about how such a pretty girl had done such a drastic treatment.

However…Elise’s troubles weren’t over.

“Please control the bleeding on the arm! And some more saline please!!”

Emergency patients kept on coming, and her abilities kept on being revealed. ‘Can I go this far? I’m only an intern that just started learning.’ She knew that what she was doing was far beyond what an intern could do. ‘But there’s nothing else I can do.’

She sighed. She was worried about what people would say, but she couldn’t neglect patients. Thanks to that, she quickly became famous in Teresa Hospital as a genius.

No one was jealous of her, or thought badly of her. Rather, they all liked her.

“Rose? That noble lady? She’s the best. She’s pretty, nice, courteous….”

She didn’t get picky over patients, and her personality was so kind that it was hard to believe she was the precious daughter of a noble family.

Her doll-like face, outstanding talents, and her kind personality. You couldn’t not like her. So…there were a few young men who liked her too.

“Hansen, you like Lady Rose, right?”

“N-No, I don’t!”

Hansen urgently shook his head at his friend’s question.

“Really? Richard was peeking at you earlier. So he can confess first.”

“What?! Richard, that bastard? Where is that guy?”

Hansen jumped up and down. His friend laughed like it was hilarious.

“See? You like her.”

“…….”

Hansen’s face turned red.

“If you like her, confess. Don’t regret it later.”

“…there’s no way it’ll work out.”

“What?”

“I’ll be rejected. Someone like me.”

His usual bravado was gone. But his friend couldn’t deny it. Lady Rose and Hansen. Even when he thought about it, Hansen would definitely be rejected. Hansen sighed. How had he gotten to like her this much? ‘At first, it was her pretty face.’

Yes, she was pretty. Extremely so. But that wasn’t her biggest charm. ‘In the relief center….’ Hansen thought of the girl he saw in the relief center. She looked like a goddess focused on her patients with her charisma. ‘What’s more…’

He thought of her face when she saved her patients. It was completely different from her usual smiles. It beamed with life. Every time he saw that, his heart couldn’t help but beat faster.

‘Haaa. This sucks.’ Hansen sighed again.

Elise was spending fulfilling days not knowing she was breaking men’s hearts. It was one day, an unexpected visitor came to Teresa Hospital. With a humongous, bomb-like present. It was the evening exactly 3 weeks before her engagement with the Crown Prince was announced in her past life.

The great Britia Empire’s capital Londo had a larger population than the capital of the Francoen Republic, and Paris, with over 250,000 people. The population kept on growing, and as it did, more locations for people to live were built.

Fier, where Teresa Hospital was located, was located in the middle of the growing empire. There were two men walking in a dark alley.

“Will you be looking around more, Your Highness?”

A middle-aged man asked the young man. He had a common black knight outfit on.Your Highness?

The young man narrowed his eyes.

“We’re in the middle of an undercover leave. Be careful when you speak.”

“Oops, sorry! It’s a habit.”

They were none other than the Crown Prince and his servant! But something was strange. The Crown Prince’s face was different than normal. Instead of the gold eyes and black hair that signified the power of the Imperial family, he had gold hair and blue eyes. Even his facial features were different. The servant spoke in an amazed tone looking at the Crown Prince’s face.
