บท 17: Urgent Patient- Irene (Part 2)

Han ran to the patient. Ignoring the sobbing Father, he checked the pulse and exhaled. Thankfully the girl came in time. Then Han activated his skill. His eyes shone a bright light scanning the girl in front of him.

[Patient Name: Irene

Vitality- 3/10

Main Symptom- Metal Shard

Illness Location: Chest.

Condition: Urgent

Blood Type: B-

Progress: N/A]

The Father had collapsed on the ground from seeing blood continuously pouring from his daughter's chest. Even when Han came to check his daughter's pulse, he showed no reaction.

Han scoffed, seeing the state of the Father. 'What is this fool doing?' he wanted to yell at the Father, but it wasn't the time.

"You, can you pay for her treatment," said Han shaking the mindless Father.

"I will even sell the house for her. Anything just please save her", muttered the Father repeatedly.

Han nodded, "BLADE!".

Not even a few seconds passed, and Blade came running. "Yes, Master," his steps halted, seeing the blood. He hesitated to walk near his master.

"Che…come here and pick her up. Take her to the second floor; before I get there, she should be in one of the blue gowns," Han said, eyeing him.

"How am I…supposed to change a lady's…" said Blade shyly. He couldn't comprehend that his master had requested him to do such a nasty thing.

"Ugh…just go. You better be ready when I come to operate and don't you dare touch the wound", said Han seriously.

Feeling his master's seriousness, Blade gulped and nodded. He walked near the Father and removed the hands he had gripped tightly to his daughter. He picked her up and ran inside the Clinic.

[The bed has been sanitized for the operation]

'We need a damn operating room in this clinic,' thought Han frustrated. He grabbed the mindless Father and escorted him inside the Clinic.

The Waiting Area, Miracle Clinic.

Han sat the Father down on the seat.

The Father had no idea who had taken his daughter or where he was. All he knew was he had arrived somewhere that could cure his daughter. The cost didn't matter; he could sell everything for his daughter.

Han left the Father in the waiting area and hurriedly went up the stairs to the 2nd floor.

Arriving at the 2nd floor, he saw the pathetic sight of Blade staring at the girl's body. He had the blue gown in his hands but didn't put it on her.

Han was very aggravated seeing this; he wanted to punch the horny man. He will deal with the bastard later.

Walking near the bed, he pushed Blade to the side and grabbed the blue gown. Seeing the girl had fainted from the pain, he knew he had to act quickly. He put the gown on the girl's body without a thought.

Blade had his head down, ashamed.

Wearing his mask, Han stared at the horny man. "You disgust me. Go back to work and leave this to me!" he said harshly.

Blade was ready to plead again, but seeing the disgust in his master's eyes, with his head down, he left.

"There are all kinds of people in this world," said Han. He quickly grabbed the materials needed and a separate tray.

'Thankfully, it's only a small shard of metal, or else it would have been worse,' thought Han as he sanitized his hands.

[Sudden Quest has been created]

[Quest Description: Treat your first Urgent Patient]

[Quest Difficulty: Very Easy]

[Quest Duration: 4 Min]

[Quest Reward: Level up, 1 star and 5 Stat Points]

Wearing his gloves, Han prepped the patient, cleaning the area around the wound.

As he was about to start the procedure, he felt unknown power transmitting through his hands and body.

[Emergency Skill Activated]

[All of the Host's Stats have increased by 3]

'I had forgotten about this skill. Though why only 3', he wondered.

[Host, You can increase more stats with this skill in the future if you keep increasing your level as well]

Han nodded, 'Well, let's put this skill to the test,' he thought, focusing back on the task.

The atmosphere around him changed as he focused on the procedure. He glanced at the countdown of the quest.

[3:58]

He then started the procedure.

Han took the forceps and carefully pulled the metal shard outward from the chest. He put the fragments on a separate tray to the side. Then immediately, as he saw blood flowing from the wound, he stopped it with some gauze.

Then he took a needle and cleanly stitched across the wound. Putting the needle back, he grabbed the applicator and cleaned the blood. Finally, he finished it off by bandaging it.

[3:08]

[Quest Completed]

[You have Leveled up]

[You have gained 1 Star and 5 Unallocated Stat Points].

Han felt relieved seeing the notifications. 'Damn, that was hella fast. This skill is very convenient; Thankfully, she looks healthy, and there were no complications during the procedure,' he smiled, looking at the innocent girl sleeping.

'She needs to stay in the Clinic for at least a month; since she's a teen, I have to keep a close watch. Man, I have work cut out for me; not having a nurse or an assistant sucks. Though in this world, it's probably hard to find someone who fits my standard of being my assistant', he thought, thinking about her Post-op.

Han grabbed the materials used in the procedure and dispensed them.

'This operation has me thinking about how I can improve this Clinic. I don't want to go through this again. We should make It easy for me and the patient. Mostly for me…' thought Han.

[You have realized the importance of preparation].

[Quest Duration: 1 month]

[Reward: 10% Surgery Experience, A Level Up, and 100 Reputation]

"Woah" exclaimed Han. As the notification popped up, celebratory fireworks also went off. He read the description, 'It looks like a lot, but the rewards are extraordinary.' He truly wanted the general surgery experience since he needed to know why he only had 4% proficiency in it!

[For the customer service requirement, The Host has to see a green hue around the patients. The Host can be rewarded 10% General Surgery Experience because of the familiarity the Host possesses with this specialization.]

Han nodded, and as he was reading the notification panel, he heard the loud commotion and wondered what was happening downstairs.

The Waiting Area, Miracle Clinic.

"Let me go! What is that damn quack doing with my daughter? I need my daughter back!" demanded Ellan. He had anxiety seeing he was in an unfamiliar place and his daughter was nowhere to be found.

Blade stood in front of him, blocking him from going upstairs. "She's in treatment; trust me, she will be fine. The Physician can treat anything. I can guarantee it!".
