Queen of the Scalpel - Chapter 49 - The Impossible Surgery

Chapter 49: The Impossible Surgery

There wasn’t a lot of time until the test. It was impossible to pass even with cramming. She would have to pass with the knowledge she already had…but there wasn’t any nervousness or hesitation in her eyes.

Rather, there was a soft confidence? ‘Huhu, this is amusing. I’m looking forward to the future.’ His time as a doctor was now limited. He felt that if he spent the rest of his time with that girl, it wouldn’t be boring.

After the chaos had settled, it was decided that Elise would take the medical license test this year.

‘I didn’t plan on it…but this is for the better.’ Walking in front of the hospital alone, she thought to herself. If she wanted to win the bet with the Emperor, getting a license was necessary. ‘If I didn’t get the qualification like this, I would’ve had to look for another way.’

She tilted her head. ‘But…what was that earlier? The Emperor ordered something for the test? Why?’ It was difficult to understand. He was the ruler of the empire. Why would he take an interest in something as unimportant as the medical license test? ‘Perhaps…because of me?’ She momentarily thought, but she immediately shook her head. No way.

‘Anyway, the test is coming up soon. I won’t have time to study. And the ball is right around the corner too.’ She stopped to look at the sky. ‘The birthday ball.’ In her past life, the ball was quite special.

It was when her engagement with the Crown Prince was announced. She was so happy then. Not even knowing the tragedy the engagement would bring. ‘It’s fine. The birthday ball this year will go by without any trouble. Since the Emperor said so, he won’t announce my engagement. I’ll just show my face and leave.’

Since she was a high noble, she couldn’t completely skip the ball. After eating something, she planned on returning to her residence to get ready for the test. ‘Wait a moment.’ It was then. She thought about something she had forgotten about. ‘Didn’t the Emperor say he would announce the Crown Prince’s fiancee during this ball? How will he do that?’

‘He won’t be able to skip over it since he said it himself. And everyone will be curious.’ The fiancee of the Crown Prince was everyone’s interest. All the nobles were looking forward to it, so he would have to say something at least. ‘He wouldn’t say my name as the fiancee, right?’

But she shook her head. They had finished that conversation a long time ago, so he wouldn’t announce her as the fiancee. ‘I don’t know. It’s not related to me anymore. The Emperor will take care of it.’

‘The sky is clear. What good weather.’ As the wind flew, it shifted her hair. Getting the cool breeze felt nice. ‘I should go back inside to work now.’

It was when she arrived in front of the hospital. She stopped.

“…!”

Someone completely unexpected was standing there.

“You’re….?”

Deep blonde hair, blue eyes. Beautiful but cold.

“Ron?”

It was the guardian of the gunshot wound! He turned to look at her. Although they were definitely strangers, he was familiar.

“You’re here. Was it Rose?”

“Oh…yes.”

Elise had a questioning face. He was here to see her? Why?

“Why…are you here?”

He was wearing normal knight clothes. But he was a high noble with the insignia of the Imperial Family. He could be their relative.

‘Did he know I was Lady Clarence?’

“…..”

But the man just looked at her silently. Elise made an awkward expression at his uncomfortable gaze.

“Uh…do you have something to say?”

“No.”

“Then…why?”

The man opened his mouth and closed it again.

“Just to see you.”

“…?”

Elise had another questioning face. He was just here to see her? Why?
