Doctor Player

Chapter 31

Chapter 31

Do you remember what Lord Raymond said then?

Yes, hed rather burn himself than burn these children. Afterwards, he takes the kids. I really couldnt raise my head that time.

Thats right. He said hed be fine to die if he could save the patient.

For your information, Raymond never said that.

Rumors are continuing to spread across the street.

I will respect him from now on.

Yes, so am I. Hes not just a healer. Theres no one like him in the world.

I cant believe there was a prince like this.

But didnt he say he was an illegitimate son and not a prince?

I dont know that kind of thing. Anyway, he is so good that he cant be compared to the princes who came before him.

Thats how Raymond completely captured the hearts of the slums.

No one doubted Raymond anymore.

To the people of the slums, Raymond was our proud healer.

That was not all.

Soon after, something happened that even made Raymond completely capture their hearts.

It was the day when a patient died at the treatment center.

No! Hanson, press with that cloth! Come on! Properly!

Yes, sir!

At this rate, this patient will die! Jesus Christ!

It was a crash.

The patient was already bleeding when he arrived at the treatment center.

The worst severe patient that is difficult to save even on the Earth.

The patient was in such a dire condition that even if the trauma team hung around the operation room all day, the survival rate was still less than half. There was no way Raymond and Hanson couldnt save him.

No matter how hard he struggled with his hands, it was useless.

Eventually, the patient suffered a cardiac arrest one hour after coming to the treatment center, and died after CPR.

Shit!

Raymond lowered his head.

He was the first patient he lost.

An inexplicable emotion tore through his chest.

It was dull, stuffy, upsetting, and bursting.

Doctors should learn and grow through the patients sacrifice.

The phrase of general medicine came to his mind, but it didnt enter and solidified into his head.

I just felt like my heart was going to explode.

I dont want to experience this again.

Raymond chewed his lips.

Of course I know.

When you treat a patient, you have no choice but to face this at any time.

This rule applies to any healer, any doctor.

Because you cant save all your patients.

This will happen countless times in the future.

The thing is, do your best.

I know all the facts clearly, but I couldnt help feeling upset now.

Shit!

In the end, Raymond couldnt help the way his tears fell down. The people in the slums saw the way he cries for his patient which resulted in them being moved again.

They had watched the entire process from the patients arrival to his death.

So they were smart enough to know-

How desperately Raymond tried. How hard they struggled to save the patient.

Everyone watching shed tears together.

They thought that even the dead patient would have been greatly comforted by Raymonds efforts.

Later in the Bay Area, Raymond became a sanctuary that no one could touch.

If you mess with Raymond, youll incur the wrath of the whole Bay Area.

The people of the Bay Area said this to Raymond.

Isnt it possible Raymond is the person heaven sent for us? 𝓯𝘳𝘦𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝓃ℴ𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝓬𝘰𝑚

It may indeed be. Actually, I used to pray for someone like him before.

Dont talk nonsense.

People burst into laughter with each other.

It was the first time that light lived in the Bay Area, which was always full of darkness.

It was small and faint, but warmer than any light.

Of course, technically Raymond is just one healer.

Other than treating diseases, he has no effect on their lives.

People in the Bay Area are still struggling and living in poverty.

Still, just as people live hard lives and comfort themselves by talking about the characters they envy, the Bay Area were delighted by talking about Raymond.

And then, one day.

Raymond heard a message.

[Your reputation has exceeded the standard level!]

[Youll be getting new title!]

[Title: The Person Who Helps The Poor]

[You get additional effects from the acquired title.]

Title?

Raymond blinked.

Come to think of it, there was such an item in the status window.

His original title was Dirty Illegitimate Child, right? But what was the additional effect?

An explanation then came to his mind.

[He Who Helps The Poor]

Description: the title given to those who help the poor.

Title rating: Village level

Additional effects:

[Bonus level up according to title acquisition!]

[You will get 20 bonus skill points!]

Raymond opened his eyes wide.

Its a good thing.

His goal was to build skills and fame in the slums.

Such a reputation will be of great help in the coming years.

I feel good as well.

It was a much better title than his nickname, Dirty illegitimate child, so Raymond felt like he received a surprise gift.

***

When Raymond was fully settled in the Bay Area, two strangers entered the slums.

Its been a long time since we went here.

Yes, sir.

They were ordinary middle-aged people with a common impression that you would see everywhere. The clothes they were wearing were also shabby, so there was not much difference between them and the poor.

Nevertheless, Raymond felt an unexplained sense of alienation. It was because of the elegance that could not be covered even by shabby clothes.

The two are King Oden and Chancellor Galman!

As the King said the other day, he ought to go undercover in the Bay Area.

His appearance was magically altered, making him look completely different.

But is it okay for only the two of us to come out like this? Once we return, hell make a fuss again.

That friend.

Chancellor Galman meant Marquis Aris, the head of the Royal Knights.

We are not within the kingdom capital anyway, so why does it matter? And besides, if I bring an escort with me, I wont be able to blend in properly.

Galman shook his head as if he couldnt stop King Oden.

In fact, this was not the first time he left the palace without an escort.

He had done this a few times before No, the king had done this quite often actually? However, he had a very good reason for that.

This is because King Oden was a sword master.

As long as the military units dont come, no one can threaten His Highness.

At that time, King Oden said something strange.

By the way, something seems to have changed. What do you think?

At Odens words, Galman tilted his head.

Well?

I dont think anything has changed?k

Shabby houses, needy people, heavy and dull air It was all the same.

No, is something different?

It was time for Galman to frown.

Suddenly, King Oden coughed.

Cough. Cough.

I no, sir!

It lasted quite a long time with a rough and murky cough.

King Oden, barely calm, shook his head.

I apologize that you have to see that.

No, are you alright?

Its just a cough. Ill be fine.

Galman looked at the King with worried eyes.

Your Highness is coughing. Well, even a sword master cant avoid disease.

King Auden is hailed as the sword master and only two persons in the Kingdom of Houston have that title.

In other words, he is one of the two strongest men in the kingdom of Houston.

He was a strong player in the ultra drama, who was respected as a knight king and reigned as an envoy of the battlefield, but even he could not avoid getting sick.

Whether it is a sword master or a god wizard, theyre all the same human beings. Getting old, being sick, and dying were all the same.

Still compared to ordinary people, he was much stronger and had no minor illness. However, he caught a cold this time.

Fortunately, it wasnt a minor illness.

After suffering from a cold, his cough was only lasting a little longer.

Count Helien, a triple-A-class healer, continues to treat the King and expects that he will soon improve from his condition.

Galman shook his head.

Is there a destination youre thinking of?

Well, Ive come this far, lets have a drink.

Very well.

I didnt mean to really drink, I meant to go to a bar and listen to peoples stories.

They found a shabby bar.

Its a dirty and shabby place to the point of frowning, but there was no place like this to listen to peoples stories vividly.

Galman took a sip of alcohol and frowned.

It doesnt taste good. Whether this is alcohol or poison, I dont know if I can drink this.

Its not your cup of tea, is it?

Yes, I have a beautiful body that has grown even if Im a degenerate. I dont know how you come to such a place.

King Oden smirked at Galmans indifference.

Its much more comfortable than the battlefield. As a civil servant, you were only in such a beautiful environment.

Im sorry Im a civil servant.

Galman shook his head and thought this.

Where else is there a king who cares about the people like this?

It wasnt just a thought.

No one can deny that Oden is a great king.

But even such a great King Oden had one major flaw: Raymond.

If your Highness had not been king, would he have treated Raymond as coldly as he is now?

Perhaps because Raymond was around, Galman thought so.

Raymond should have been badly hurt by King Odens cold treatment.

Its a useless idea.

It was a moment of shaking his head.

Suddenly, a familiar name tickled his ears in the conversation at the next table.

I mean Raymond.

Raymond?

Galman listened naturally.

And not long after he overheard it, I had no choice but to look surprised.

Huh, Raymond? Be careful what you say! Why do you call his name recklessly?

Oh, Im sorry. I made a mistake because I was drunk. Prince oh, no, he told us not to call him that. Let me correct myself. Sir Raymond, he treated my mother, but I dont know how to repay his kindness.

How can you be the only one who has benefited? We received grace from Sir Raymond as well!

Thats right. I cant do just what I know. Even when Mr. Bins wife next door collapsed.

And people talked about the help they received from Raymond as if they were competing.

Is that all real? did Raymond really do all those things? Galman looked puzzled.

I knew Raymond had treated a patient with his own severity in the healers promotion test.

But it wasnt something you could do simply because you were good.

And then, he had also captured his patients hearts.

It was impossible to accomplish such things without pouring his own heart.k

Your Highness?

Galman glanced at Odens face, who was sitting from across him.
