Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Chapter 231: Even the boss has to be my assistant (2)

Jacques, curious, scanned the operating room. The room was remarkably clean and spotless, albeit adorned with some strange furnishings.

In the center was a stone bed, above which hung a peculiar object. There was a medicine cabinet nearby, displaying various potions.

Next to it was a closed cabinet, its contents unknown.

There was also a movable tray stand by the bedside.

This room was completely different from their diagnostic and treatment rooms.

To Charlotte's surprise, even top-tier individuals like Adolf seemed unable to use healing magic to cure appendicitis.

He had thought that Louise's condition couldn't be effectively treated due to the inadequate techniques of the Abyssal clinics.

Now it seemed that the appendix grew cunningly, residing within the blind spot of healing magic practitioners.

Although Charlotte couldn't recognize everyone from the Elder Council of the Physician Association, he had done some research on them, as they were currently his biggest threat. This included gathering information on the events from three years ago when he was imprisoned.

Adolf and Jacques were not well-regarded members of the Elder Council of the Physician Association. They hardly participated in the association's daily affairs and only had several fixed days each month for consultations. They were rarely seen in the white tower.

The incident from back then doesn't have much to do with these two individuals.

Jacques used to visit him in prison for a while.

Of course, he didn't inherit this memory.

So he doesn't know the exact relationship he has with Jacques.

It's unlikely that he is an enemy, but if he is a friend, he has no idea how far their relationship has progressed and what they have talked about.

Judging by Adolf's attitude, the elven girl lying on the operating table should have a prestigious identity.

If the Physicians Association wanted to cause trouble, they could have easily brought in a beggar they deemed abandoned by the gods from the streets. Why make this beautiful elven girl suffer?

Furthermore, this kind of dirty work shouldn't be done by the esteemed Elder Chairman and Ten Elders of the Physicians Association. It's quite beneath them.

Even though he was once hailed as a genius physician, the pride of the Calva Medical Institute, and only met Elder Lu Xian once during his trial after being captured.

Scheming, capturing, suppressing, destroying the source of magic... all these dirty and tiring tasks are better left to the lackeys below, right?

"Have you ever treated such an illness, young friend?" Adolf looked at Charlotte and asked. Although his voice was calm, a hint of nervousness and urgency could still be seen in his eyes.

Jacques instinctively clenched his fist. It was his suggestion to bring Louise to Charlotte. If he couldn't cure her and ended up causing harm to Charlotte, it would also implicate their teacher.

Betty also looked at Charlotte with some hope.

Although she didn't have much confidence in this young doctor, the situation of the Saintess had reached a critical point.

Even the Elder Council of the Physicians Association was powerless, and there was nowhere else to seek medical help on the Isau continent.

"It's hard to determine right now," Charlotte shook her head and reached out her right hand towards Louise.

"What are you going to do to the Saintess?!" Betty said coldly, her hand already grasping the sword at her waist.

The chilling killing intent made Charlotte instinctively stop her hand. Undoubtedly, this elven girl was a powerful swordsman, with a strength of at least level seven.

If she wanted to, she could easily kill him.

Saintess?

Charlotte grasped an important piece of information.

So the ethereal girl lying on the operating table was the Elven Queen, the future Queen of the Elves?

This would explain why Adolf was so concerned. She was the future ruler of the Elves, after all.

But he didn't expect her to be brought to this small clinic in the depths of the abyss. No matter how you looked at it, this didn't seem like a reliable choice at all.

Who recommended it, the sixth elder?

"Unlike those physicians who use magic to heal patients, I am a doctor who treats patients through surgery. So I need to touch the patient's affected area and assess the condition based on their reaction," Charlotte explained calmly.

Since the other party was the Saintess, his attitude should be better.

"Betty, don't interfere with the doctor's actions. Charlotte is the most outstanding graduate of the Calva Medical Institute in a hundred years," Adolf reminded.

Betty released her grip on the sword and took a step back, accepting Charlotte's explanation.

With the dissipation of the killing intent, Charlotte extended his finger and lightly pressed it on Louise's lower right Abmen.

"Hiss"

An intense pain caused Louise, who was in a semi-conscious state, to let out a painful groan. Her eyelashes trembled as if she wanted to open her eyes and see who was poking her.

"You..." Betty controlled her emotions and didn't draw her sword, but as she looked at the suffering Louise, her face was filled with anxiety.

Charlotte can determine that Louise is suffering from acute appendicitis.

Moreover, the situation is urgent, and surgery must be performed immediately.

[Ding! Mission from Saintess Louise: Appendectomy. Successful completion of the mission rewards: Appendectomy experience +200! Copper coins +10,000!]

The system's voice rang out.

Looking at the reward of 10,000 copper coins, Charlotte was determined to perform the appendectomy for her.

"System, I need surgical guidance," Charlotte said in his mind.

After all, the one lying down is the holy maiden of the elven race, with a privileged identity and a lofty status. There is no room for any mistakes.

If he successfully treats Louise today, the elven race will owe him a great favor.

But if he makes a mistake during the surgery and loses the patient, he isn't confident he can survive in the hands of that ferocious sword spirit.

[The host has already completed an appendectomy, so the surgical guidance is no longer valid. Please perform the surgery independently!]

The system's voice sounded.

Charlotte immediately became anxious.

"Brother, she's the holy maiden of the elven race! I've only performed this surgery once with the guidance. How can I dare to proceed without it?!"

The system did not respond anymore.

"Young friend, can you diagnose the condition?" Adolf asked.

Jacques and Betty also looked at him.

Charlotte felt his throat dry. If he were to say that he couldn't treat her, Adolf would probably take the patient away, which would not put him in a difficult position. But in doing so, he would miss an opportunity and the valuable reward of 10,000 copper coins.

However, if he made a mistake during the surgery, then...

Just then, the girl lying on the operating table opened her eyes slightly and looked at Charlotte.

That glance struck Charlotte's soul like a lightning bolt.

In her eyes, there was a glimmer of hope for life.

Charlotte suddenly realized that if he refused to treat her, it meant that this elven girl would die tonight.

Even Adolf and the Physician Association were helpless. There was no better doctor in the world to take care of her.

And just because of the possible risks, he was considering giving up.

"It's acute appendicitis, and the situation is quite severe. She needs immediate surgery to remove the appendix," Charlotte looked at Adolf and said, "I have treated a similar patient before."

Betty revealed a look of surprise. She didn't expect this young doctor to have treated the same condition. It meant that the Saintess had a chance of survival today!

Finally, a smile appeared on Adolf's face as he nodded.

"Great, then please perform the surgery on Louise."

"Is she the dancer named Ruth?" Jacques asked excitedly.

Charlotte looked at him in surprise.

How did this guy know?

Could it be... he had been monitoring him?

Or was it the Physician Association's doing?

"That's right," Charlotte nodded and asked directly, "How did you know?"

"A while ago, a weasel came to the Physician Association and complained that you had saved an abandoned person.

Later, I privately asked him about the symptoms of that dancer.

They were somewhat similar to Louise's symptoms today. That's why I suggested bringing her to you for treatment.

It seems my guess was right, and you indeed have a way to treat this peculiar condition," Jacques explained, wearing a somewhat smug expression.

[A weasel? Which sneaky guy is causing trouble behind the scenes? I, Charlotte, and the Yellow Sage are sworn enemies! Charlotte didn't dare delay any longer and pointed at Betty.]

"I need a clean and safe surgical environment. Please wait outside the operating room."

"Please take care of her." Betty hesitated for a moment, then quickly walked out of the operating room and closed the door.

"I need you to use cleansing magic to thoroughly clean the operating room and the two of us, ensuring that there is no contamination in the surgical environment," Charlotte said to Jacques.

"I... alright..." Jacques, who had become a senior member of the Physician Association, was being treated like a janitor for the first time. But now there were only three of them in the operating room. Did he have to ask his teacher to do it?

"There will be risks during the surgery, so I need you to be by my side the whole time, ready to use healing magic at any time," Charlotte looked at Adolf and said.

"No problem." Adolf nodded solemnly.

Charlotte felt a sense of control over his subordinates. This was the idol of many doctors on the Isor Continent, the ingenious doctor - Adolf!

"Well then, I'm going to perform the appendectomy."

Charlotte turned on the shadowless light, picked up the scalpel, and his gaze became calm and unwavering...
