Chereads / The Cold-Hearted Doctor / Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

"At your command, we separate all the patient that is showing the uncommon symptoms of colds. We also taught their companions how to get the basic vital signs of their relatives since they will help our nurse to monitor their condition." Doctor Neil reported in their weekly meeting. He also mentioned several things that he noticed once they already separated the patients that has unusual symptoms before he sat down from his seat.

Present in the meeting is the other Doctors representing their respective Hospitals the Chief Doctor, and the members of the Royal Family.

After he said his piece, his gaze lingered in the second prince for a while. The man who is been sleeping for almost six months suddenly gained a new medical understanding. 'My curiosity is at its peak and I want to have a deeper conversation with his highness Luan.'

"The nutritious food that is been delivered by the Imperial palace is enough for all of the patients across the whole kingdom. I have a positive feeling that with this move we can beat this sickness that is been like a curse to our kingdom for decades, this is of course all thanks to the idea of the second prince and the swift response of His Majesty about the matter." Doctor Bern said, not forgetting to smile and make a short bow in front of the King, who is sitting in their midst.

'Look at this man, did he think that His Majesty's is someone that can be easily fooled by flattery?' Doctor Neil thought.

" This is promising," the king said while nodding his head. "I am hoping that I will continuously hear your positive response in our next meeting. With this and with you're constant support and sincerity we will be able to save more lives of our people and will lead to the prosperity of our kingdom."

"For the prosperity of our kingdom!!" Doctor Bern loudly said and lift his wine glass midair.

Everyone looks at one another first and then lifts their glass with a smile on their faces. "For the prosperity of our Kingdom!!"

The King happily smiled and drink his wine.

'Tsk. What an idiot. Isn't it too early to celebrate?' A young man thought while observing the people in this room. He especially has to take down a mental note to be wary of Doctor Bern. With his trait and overbearing self-confidence, he can only imagine how annoying this man can be.

Yes. It is good that they can have a quick response about the flu, but the real battle against it Is just starting, especially that they have to check and examine all the people in the kingdom to make sure that it will no longer spread and that job will require manpower and knowledge to do flawlessly.

However, this kingdom lacks health care workers and if it's isn't the case most of them are already tired or will not be willing to be assigned to the isolated places for the people who got flu.

Even in his original timeline flu is something that can be wary of since it resembles a common cold. People think that it's just a simple cough, fever and will just take Tylenol. What they do not know is that they acquired the flu that can threaten their lives if not treated appropriately.

The people inside the room continuously enjoyed drinking their wine, as if they already accomplished great results, well, except for one. 'Doctor Neil..'

----------

Not so long after each of the guests leave the royal palace. Except for one person.

"Doctor Neil, are you not that busy?" Butler Henry asks the man beside him.

Doctor Neil fake cough at the question of the butler and take his courage to plead for his selfish request.

"I still have some time I am sure. And I. I am hoping you can make a way for me to speak with the second prince?"

Butler Henry left eyebrow raised at the request of the doctor. "I... I know that It's not my business but... Just want to ask his highness about this flu. I want to know more... Maybe. Maybe If we share our knowledge we can successfully create something to prevent this again from happening. Don't you think so?"

The butler looked at The man in front of him. "You are always like that".

" Ha? why do you mean? I am like what?"

"You are very eager to learn something new. "

"Is that wrong?"

"No, it's not." Butler Henry walked away and left Doctor Neil who is in a daze, thinking what the butler implied to him.

"What are you waiting for? Follow me!!"

"Oh. Shoot!.." Doctor Neil said with wide eyes and he begin to run towards the butler.

"This means that you will make a way for me to speak to the second prince right!"

"As long as you will not ask anything that will give me a headache then I will approve it."

"No!!.. I'll behave. I promise."

Butler looked at him one more time and he make sure that his face is full of seriousness.

'At last, I have the chance to talk to Prince Luan! You are so brave Neil! You got it!'
