The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 173

Episode 173 Patients and medical staff (2)

‘…Huh?’

Valentino felt his heart sink. I quickly looked around the hospital room. But there is none. Grandma is nowhere to be seen.

‘why?’

It was an old woman who had been in the hospital room with her until she dozed off earlier. For a dementia patient, I was reassured that he wasn’t vicious. I was even more at ease because it seemed like I was having some difficulty moving around.

But there isn’t.

Where did it go?

‘I’m in big trouble.’

Valentino felt his heart beating rapidly. It had to be that way. The nights of early spring are still chilly. How can an old man wearing only a thin outerwear survive? It’s impossible. It can also be verb. Moreover, this villa is much larger than expected. This is especially true if it is a garden.

Will I be able to find my grandmother before night falls?

“….”

Kwadangtang!

He kicked down the chair and ran out of the hospital room. Maybe we haven’t gone far yet. No, I hoped so.

‘please. I guess I’m just wandering around in the ward.’

Then it will be okay. It will only end as an uneventful incident. I just prayed for that. I ran through the hallways, turned corners, went up and down the stairs, and looked from room to room like teeth.

Still, there was no sign of the grandmother. The sky peeking out the window had already turned almost purple. The sun sets soon. I felt the sweat on my forehead cooling off.

‘I can’t do this… by myself.’

He realized.

I can’t find it alone. The time left is running out, it’s getting colder outside, and the scope to search is hopelessly wide.

What if I keep being stubborn now?

‘no.’

I decided.

I immediately ran to the nurse’s office.

“excuse me!”

Shake!

He jumped up and shouted. The nurses were surprised. But Valentino shouted without hesitation.

“The patient is gone!”

“yes?”

Head nurse Anis jumped up at the shout from this side. She frowned.

“Disappeared? Patient? how?”

“That…”

I hesitated for just a moment.

While taking care of an elderly woman with dementia, she said she was tired and dozed off. Meanwhile, the grandmother disappeared. If this becomes known, you will be criticized. The crown prince will break it tremendously. Maybe I will be kicked out of the annex oriental medicine clinic.

But… this is the only way to find my grandmother now. Because that’s the way to take responsibility.

Valentino made up his mind and spoke quickly.

“I am a dementia patient. She was a grandmother in her early 60s… she was mid-160 centimeters tall, had a slim body, and had gray-white hair tied behind her neck. I wore an old gray sweater. “This is… the person I was supposed to take care of.”

“Let’s go. “What is the location of the hospital room you were taking care of and when did you disappear?”

Anis immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. However, he did not say anything to reprimand the prospective doctor. There is no time to criticize now. Because the most important thing is to find the patient as quickly as possible.

So it was.

Neither Anis nor the other nurses had any respect whatsoever.

“Everyone knows, right?”

“yes!”

The werewolf nurses nodded to Anise’s question. A fierce, wild light appeared in their eyes.

Next moment.

…Kwaddeuk!

All 20 werewolf nurses on duty transformed into werewolf forms.

“Crumbling! “Croung!”

“Wow!”

It was thanks to their sudden transformation. The quiet and clean hallway of the annex oriental medicine clinic quickly transformed into an animal kingdom overflowing with wild nature at 6 p.m.

“…omg.”

Valentino almost lost his legs and fell on his butt. It was the first time in my life that I had seen a group transformation of werewolves, so I was probably overwhelmed. But he managed to come to his senses.

“The place where my grandmother was before she disappeared was hospital room B1 on the 3rd floor. “The time that disappeared… seems to have been at least 30 minutes!”

“Crung!”

Anis, who had transformed into a werewolf, nodded as if she understood. Then he gave orders to the other nurses with his chin and eyes.

“Crumbling! “Kkkkkkkk!”

“Wolwol!”

“Whoa!”

Twenty nurses were instantly organized into five wolf-pack groups of four people. They didn’t waste any time. As soon as we organized the group, we rushed to hospital room B1 on the 3rd floor. One by one, we entered the hospital room and sniffed repeatedly.

“Sniff sniff! Sniff!”

“Sniff! Sniff!”

A werewolf’s amazing sense of smell detected the grandmother’s body scent faintly remaining in the hospital room. I remembered. It was from then on. The full-scale tracking began.

“Sniff! Sniff! “Hehehehe!”

The nurses moved quickly with their noses on the floor. I tried to distinguish my grandmother’s body odor from the various smells in the hallway.

Meanwhile, Valentino was chewing his fingernails.

‘It’s because of me.’

I didn’t just close my eyes for a moment because I was tired. I couldn’t take my eyes off him like that when there was a dementia patient by my side.

‘I…’

Am I really qualified to take care of people? Was he ready for that? Maybe I’ve been arrogant just because I became a doctor.

For the first time, I felt skeptical.

It was then.

“Hehe?”

Anise, the guard who had been sniffing ahead, raised her head and pricked up her ears. I looked this way.

“Grunt!”

“yes? Did you find something?”

Is it really true? Anis ran away crying without even answering. Valentino hurriedly followed behind. I walked across the hallway and up and down the landing. When I ran so far that I couldn’t even remember how many corners I turned, Anise stopped in front of a door.

It was a hospital room that he had passed by earlier when he was looking for his grandmother alone.

‘here? ‘Grandma is there?’

Judging from Anise’s glances, it seemed that way. Valentino carefully turned the doorknob. Then, a voice came out through the crack in the open door…

“My baby sleeps really well, right?”

“…!”

It’s my grandmother’s voice!

Valentino tried to run into the hospital room, feeling happy and relieved. But it was that moment.

“okay. “It really is.”

A voice was heard answering the grandmother’s question. The moment he heard that voice, he quickly stopped running into the hospital room.

A familiar voice.

‘…Why is the crown prince here?’

My heart sank. He was horrified to hear that the grandmother he had lost was with the crown prince. Meanwhile, the conversation between the grandmother and the crown prince continued in the hospital room.

“My baby. I don’t know how kind you are. He rarely wakes up crying or fussing. “No whining while looking for dad.”

“is that so.”

“yes. “Sometimes I think about how good it would have been if my husband had stayed with me… but there are also times when I feel resentful.”

“Has your husband gone away?”

“yes. “I went to a place from which I could never return.”

“…Oh my. sorry.”

“No. It’s okay. “My husband probably didn’t want to leave either.”

“is that so.”

“yes.”

A moment of silence.

Valentino swallowed dry saliva. I think now is the time to get in. It was a time when I was about to take a step toward that thought.

“….”

Before I knew it, the crown prince was looking this way. Our eyes met. My heart sinks again. But somehow, the crown prince’s gaze was not harsh. There was no sign of rebuke whatsoever. Instead, he shook his head quietly and very slightly. And by the shape of his mouth.

Shh.

“….”

Are you telling me to be quiet?

Meanwhile, the grandmother said.

“But doctor? “Is my baby very sick?”

“no. “I just feel like I have a bit of a cold.”

“is that so?”

Valentino, who was listening, swallowed dry saliva without realizing it. I finally realized it. This is the hospital room where Mr. Fabio was hospitalized. Now that old lady has come all the way here looking for her son.

“….”

How on earth did he know where his son was and come visit him, even though he was suffering from dementia? Did I just randomly wander around and get lucky and find it? Is it just a simple coincidence?

I couldn’t figure it out.

What was certain, however, was that the grandmother was extremely worried only about her son.

“But please, doctor. “Please don’t let my son get sick.”

“yes. “I will try my best, mother.”

“But honey, you? “When did you come back?”

“…Um, did you just come back?”

“Ugh. Me again. “I was worried you might never come back.”

“Is that so?”

“yes. Don’t go on that boat again. “I guess the captain’s impression is a bit strange.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha. is it?”

“Anyway. “I worry about people every day.”

“Heh heh heh heh.”

The grandmother’s tone instantly changed to that of a newlywed wife dealing with her husband. Thanks to this, the crown prince looked slightly embarrassed. However, the embarrassment was short-lived as the crown prince answered in a very natural way, matching the grandmother’s tone of voice.

Even then, it was visible.

I’m trying to make sure my grandmother doesn’t get hurt or disappointed. And that too in a desperate way. Do your best.

It was truly strange.

The crown prince is the person who stands at the pinnacle of power. Hospital games like this are just entertainment. But why am I pouring so much effort into it? Why on earth would he treat an elderly woman with dementia who would not be of any help to his power or reputation with such sincerity and heart?

I couldn’t figure it out.

But I do know one thing.

“….”

How was I before? What was it like for the person who was proud of graduating from medical school and confident that he would fully demonstrate his talents in the future?

Valentino bowed his head. I was embarrassed. Then suddenly I saw something.

‘uh?’

The gown you are wearing. A gown given as a gift by my fiancee to commemorate my graduation from medical school. However, the bottom hem of the gown that was torn during the fight with Fabio earlier…

‘Is it slanted?’

I’m so confused.

Crooked.

However, it was overly meticulous and densely packed. It was strange. I just took it off before I fell asleep and hung it on the chair next to me. Until then, it was torn apart. Could it be that someone helped me during that time? Even though it is clumsy and crooked, it is done with sincerity and meticulousness.

when?

who?

“….”

no way.

He lifted his head in surprise. I glanced. The hands of an elderly woman with dementia who was chatting with the crown prince caught my eye.

There was gauze wrapped around the grandmother’s fingertips. It wasn’t like that before. It looked as if someone had just taken care of the wound after being pricked and torn by a needle while trying too hard to sew clumsily.

The moment Valentino saw that, he had to feel like he had been hit by someone. It was a poignant and painful realization.

‘Today I…’

Why was that like that?

Was my previous response the best?

Really, that was all I could do.

He tightly clutched the hem of his robe. Faced with the sudden realization and guilt, tears welled up that I couldn’t help myself. A faint smile appeared in Rakiel’s eyes as he looked at the new doctor.

‘I’m a bit more like a doctor now.’

Rakiel tried to hide his happy feelings. It was a warm evening in early spring with a chilly wind blowing. Now is the time to treat Fabio’s Wilson’s disease in earnest.
