Queen of the Scalpel - Chapter 38 - The Impossible Surgery

Chapter 38: The Impossible Surgery (7)

“…!”

“If we leave him alone, the patient will definitely die. But if we use the method I speak about, we might be able to save him. No, he’ll definitely be saved, so please trust me this once.”

It was then.

The Crown Prince’s low voice was directed at her.

“Can you really save him?”

Elise looked at him.

“It’s possible. No, I definitely will.”

The Crown Prince looked back at her. Her blue eyes were shining with the will to save the patient.

“…!”

The Crown Prince’s eyes shook looking at her strong will. Was she really a child? He hid his surprise and spoke coldly.

“Can you really do it? I won’t forgive irresponsible courage.”

He knew well about Elise. She was a scholar who just announced that she was going to be a doctor. An official doctor said it was impossible, but she was going to do the surgery?

On the other hand, Elise bit her lips. ‘There’s no time. We have to go into surgery now.’Even at this moment, the patient’s spleen was losing much blood. She was anxious because as every second passed, his chances of surviving went down.

“I want to save this man. Please trust me. I’ll do my best. I’ll definitely save him.”

“…!”

It was a voice filled with anxiousness and desperation. The Crown Prince’s eyes shook again at her will to save the patient. Eventually, he spoke.

“Alright. You must save him. Can you do that?”

He was surprised at himself saying those worlds. He was really entrusting Randol’s surgery to that girl? But there wasn’t any other method. If time passed, Randol was definitely going to die, so he needed to grab anything he could, right?

‘Also….’ The eyes of his soon to be fiance. He was shaken at the firm will in her eyes. He had met many doctors as the Crown Prince of the Empire, but he had never seen a doctor with such desperate eyes for their patient.

“Yes, I’ll do my best.”

And so the surgery began.

***

Immediately after, the surgery was begun. The patient was in a critical condition, so even a second was precious. They were about to start the surgery with anesthesia, but there was a problem.

“Who else will go in the surgery?”

Elise and Grayam would do it, but 2 people weren’t enough. They need at least one more person to do the second assist role. The problem was that it was late at night, and the center was busy so there weren’t any doctors to enter the surgery with them.

Elise had a complicated face at the unexpected problem. But it wasn’t possible to do the surgery with just the two of them. They needed one more person. But then, an unexpected person stepped in.

“Do you need more people? Then I’ll help.”

“…!”

It was the Crown Prince. Elise and Grayam looked at him in surprise.

“But…”

“Isn’t there nothing else you can do? 2 years ago, when I participated in the Angeli War, I experienced treating some people. I’ll be more of a help than some random person.”

Elise considered his words. ‘What should I do? Will it be ok?’

The participation of a surgery by a person not related to the field. It was unimaginable back on Earth.

‘But the second assist role in this spleen surgery is quite simple, so it doesn’t have to be an experienced doctor.’

The second assist’s role was to hold the surgical supplies, and medical knowledge was almost unneeded.

“Decide quickly. There is little time.”

Elise decided on his words. Like he said, there wasn’t enough time. It was better to enter the surgery now before waiting for another doctor to be free. ‘If I lead well, he’ll be able to do it.’

“But will it be ok? The appearance of the surgery might be unpleasant.”

It was a question out of respect for the noble-looking man. But the replying answer was simple.

“It’s something to save my person.”

To help with a dangerous surgery like this himself wasn’t something a Crown Prince should do. And his servant, Randol, wasn’t his right hand either.Randol wasn’t someone who followed him. What wouldn’t he do for ‘his people?’
