Queen of the Scalpel - Chapter 36 - The Impossible Surgery

Chapter 36: The Impossible Surgery

“Doctor? What’s wrong?”

The girl had a questioning face. Grayam frowned and shook his head.

“No. It’s nothing.”

“Hm? Is there something uncomfortable?”

Elise asked again, but Grayam just kept his lips closed. How was he supposed to say that his heart beat faster looking at his disciple?! Of course, he was known as a ‘young genius,’ and he became a professor at an extremely young age so he was only in his mid 20s, and the age difference between them wasn’t too bad.

But it still wasn’t right.

“Don’t worry about it. It’s nothing.”

And it was then…

“Dr.Grayam! Please come this way quickly! There’s an emergency!”

“…!”

An urgent shout! It seemed to be an abnormal patient.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes, doctor.”

Rushing in, their faces hardened after seeing the patient’s condition.

“This…”

It was a middle-aged man with a gunshot wound, but his condition was quite bad. He looked as pale as a corpse, and he was barely conscious. He was still alive, but it wouldn’t be long before he passes out any moment now.

“The location of the wound is…”

Grayam swallowed a groan, and Elise felt the same. ‘On his right side, to be precise, is where the spleen should be.’ A hard voice called for them.

“How is he? You must save him!”

Blond hair and blue eyes. He was incredibly handsome, having a cold face. He was wearing normal clothes like every other citizen, but a strong aura could be felt from him.

“…!”

But Elise’s body froze looking at him. ‘What is this feeling…..?” It was a man she met for the first time but strangely he seemed familiar. She wondered if she had met him before, but it was definitely someone she saw for the first time. But she still tilted her head at the intense familiarity she felt.

‘Elise?’ On the other hand, the Crown Prince, Linden de Romanoff was surprised upon seeing her. He didn’t think he would see her as soon as he got to the hospital. ‘She’s become more skinny.’ She was wearing scrubs that surgeons wore and not her usual dresses. Strangely, it looked good on her.

As the Emperor intended, she did look a bit tired, but her face was bright. No, to be exact, her face was lively. ‘Did she always make those expressions?’ The Crown Prince had seen Elise since she was a young girl, but it was the first time he saw that face.

“How is Randol’s condition? Can you save him?”

That was the end of his thoughts. Right now, the important thing was the survival of his loyal servant, not Elise. The Crown Prince asked not Elise, but Grayam, who looked like a doctor. What would a girl that just entered a hospital know? That was his mind.

Grayam opened his mouth as he stood silently.

“…It’ll be difficult.”

“…!”

The Crown Prince, Linden’s face hardened. His aura became more fierce.

“What do you mean? Be specific, doctor.”

“The bullet has passed through his spleen. The spleen is a hyper vascular organ with many veins. It’s impossible to stop the bleeding, so unfortunately, there isn’t anything we can do.”

“…!”

Linden bit his lips. He would die? There was nothing they could do?

“Are you sure? Is there really no way to treat him?”

“Yes, I’m sorry but…the area is too damaged. There’s no way to treat that kind of injury.”

At his words, Linden gripped something from his chest. And after seeing what he pulled out, Grayam and Elise’s eyes widened in shock.

A cross. Two animals on their hind legs. And the sentences.

Honi soit qui mal y pense (May dishonor be with one with wickedness).

Dieu et mon droit (Power of God and me).

They were words of the Imperial Romanoff Family!
