Jong Seojun was in the middle of a diagnosis when he stopped and headed sowhere.
Jong Seojun was not the type to leave his post in the middle of a diagnosis. Even if he had to leave his post due to unavoidable circumstances, he would finish the diagnosis of the patient he was currently in charge of and then leave.
However, as soon as he heard that he was being called, he entrusted the diagnosis he was conducting to soone else and got up from his seat.
To think that Jong Seojun would stop his diagnosis midway and get up from his seat. Could it be that the person who had called him was the leader?
When Jong Seojun got up from his seat, such whispers were heard here and there.
Creak-.
As soon as he arrived in front of the reception room inside the Demonic dical Hall, Jong Seojun carefully opened the door.
Then, a person was sitting inside.
It was not the leader, as people had said. However, perhaps the person sitting there was soone who felt even greater than the leader to Jong Seojun.
"Oh, you're here?"
Cheon Myeong said to Jong Seojun, who had shown his face through the open door.
Then, Jong Seojun carefully closed the door and ca inside. And he was about to kneel before Cheon Myeong, but Cheon Myeong stopped him before that.
"That's enough."
"But I haven't even greeted you yet..."
"It's enough, so co here and sit down."
As Cheon Myeong said that, Jong Seojun had no choice but to stop his head, which he was about to bow, and walked to the table where Cheon Myeong was sitting.
And he sat down opposite Cheon Myeong and said.
"I heard that you were looking for urgently."
"Well, it's nothing much... how is Cheon Seong's treatnt progressing?"
Ah, was that why Cheon Myeong had co to see him?
Of course, since he was the younger brother of his benefactor, Cheon Seong had been treated by him personally with care.
Of course, even if that wasn't the case, since Cheon Seong was the leader's son, he would have stepped up himself, but he would not have paid this much attention to the treatnt.
"Don't worry. I am looking after him with special care."
"...Really?"
"Yes, he will probably be completely cured in less than a month..."
"Head."
"...?"
Cheon Myeong, who suddenly cut off Jong Seojun's words. Then, Jong Seojun stopped talking in the middle and looked at Cheon Myeong with a puzzled look.
"Do the leader or the head of the Guardian Hall also know this fact?"
"What? What fact are you talking about..."
"The fact that Cheon Seong will be completely cured in less than a month."
Jong Seojun could not understand why on earth Cheon Myeong was asking him such a thing.
However, since Cheon Myeong was asking him with a serious look, he felt that he had to answer sincerely, even if he didn't know the reason.
"Uh... no, they probably don't know. I haven't reported it to them yet."
As Jong Seojun said that, Cheon Myeong clenched one of his hands.
Of course, Jong Seojun did not know why Cheon Myeong was doing that.
"Head."
"Yes?"
"I have a favor to ask."
A favor from Cheon Myeong. That was rather what he had been hoping for.
How much had he thought that he wanted to repay the grace he had received from Cheon Myeong until now?
Of course, no matter what he did, he would not be able to repay all the grace he had received from Cheon Myeong, but still, he wanted to do his best as much as he could.
And now, for the first ti, Cheon Myeong was saying that he wanted to ask him for sothing.
Isn't this an opportunity for him?
Jong Seojun said with a slightly excited voice.
"Just say the word! I can do anything to repay the grace I have received from you, Young Master!"
"Then that's a relief."
Although he was a little sorry to say it, looking at Jong Seojun's reaction, Cheon Myeong said with a slightly more relaxed heart.
"I would like you to do a manipulation."
"A manipulation?"
"Yes. I would like to ask you to manipulate Cheon Seong's dical records."
"..."
dical record manipulation.
It was not sothing that one could dare to do as a doctor.
Because of that, if sothing went wrong, it could tarnish the reputation he had built up as a doctor until now.
However, since he was in a state where he had vowed to do anything for Cheon Myeong, Jong Seojun asked with a softened voice.
"What specifically do you want to manipulate?"
"The period."
"The period...?"
"Yes, didn't you say earlier that it would take less than a month for Cheon Seong's wound to be completely cured? I would like you to extend that period longer than the original."
"So... are you saying that you want to deliberately take ti to treat him?"
If one were to think about Cheon Myeong's words together, it would be so.
However, Cheon Myeong shook his head and said.
"That's not it."
"..."
"Cheon Seong will probably be completely cured in about a fortnight."
"A fortnight?"
What on earth was that all of a sudden?
Since he had treated him with the utmost care, it was that Cheon Seong could be completely cured in about a month.
Generally, it would take more than a month longer than that. But for Cheon Myeong to be saying that, reducing it by half, Jong Seojun couldn't help but be puzzled.
"I have prescribed a few more dicines to Cheon Seong."
"What? What do you an by that?"
"I am sorry for not telling you in advance, Head."
"..."
If soone else had said that they had prescribed dicine to a patient he was managing without permission, Jong Seojun would have been so angry that his face would have turned red.
However, since Cheon Myeong was saying that, Jong Seojun could not say anything.
Wasn't Cheon Myeong the person who had treated the Blood Death Disease that he had not been able to do anything about until now?
From that mont on, Jong Seojun had been evaluating Cheon Myeong higher than himself in terms of dical skills, so there was nothing he could say.
"It's okay. I also know your dical skills, Young Master. Moreover, since the patient is your younger brother, you couldn't have just stood by, Young Master."
Although that was not the reason why he had fed Cheon Seong so much dicine, anyway, it was a good thing.
Since it seed that Jong Seojun was not concerned about that part, Cheon Myeong imdiately got to the point.
"Thank you for saying so. Anyway, if the dicines I prescribed are effective, Cheon Seong will be able to be completely cured within a fortnight."
"..."
"What you need to manipulate, Head, is the period that is visible to the outside."
"The outside..."
"Please report to the leader that it will take more than a month for Cheon Seong to be completely cured."
This was what Cheon Myeong had thought of as a way to avoid punishnt sohow.
Although Cheon Jin had directly said a month, that period would an the period until Cheon Seong was completely cured.
If so, if Cheon Seong's complete cure took more than a month, the period given to Cheon Myeong would naturally be extended.
Of course, if Cheon Seong's complete cure was actually extended like that, it would be aningless to Cheon Myeong.
What was important here was that Cheon Seong would actually be completely cured faster than that.
In other words, a thod that was possible only if only Cheon Jin did not know that Cheon Seong had been completely cured. And to realize this, more than anything else, Jong Seojun's cooperation was needed.
"So... are you asking to give a false report to the leader?"
"That's right."
"..."
Although Jong Seojun had vowed to listen to any of Cheon Myeong's requests, he couldn't help but worry about this one.
And for good reason, to lie to the leader, of all people.
Naturally, if that fact were to be discovered, Jong Seojun would not just be fired from his position as the head of the Demonic dical Hall.
It could even be a matter of life and death, so Jong Seojun could not easily give an answer to Cheon Myeong.
"My life is on the line."
"...Did you say that your life is on the line, Young Master?"
"Yes, that's why I'm asking you for this favor. If it's not you, Head, there's no one else I can ask."
Cheon Myeong said with a serious face.
Then, Jong Seojun, who fell into deep thought without a word. And he soon looked at Cheon Myeong and asked.
"How much longer should I extend the period?"
"A month. So please report that it will take two months for Cheon Seong to be completely cured."
That would be the best.
If he had his way, he would have wanted to say a year, but no matter how he thought about it, wouldn't the fact that he was lying be revealed?
The period that would not be discovered by Cheon Jin and the period that he could transform Cheon Seong into a new person.
The result of appropriately adjusting between the two was two months.
"Can you do it?"
"...I'll try."
Jong Seojun said that and smiled lightly at Cheon Seong.
"Since you said that your life is on the line, Young Master, shouldn't I also do this much?"
"...Thank you."
As expected, a person receives blessings as much as they act kindly.
Since he had worked so hard to treat Jong Seojun's son, didn't Jong Seojun also help him in this way?
'I've passed one hurdle with this.'
Literally, one hurdle. There were still many more hurdles to overco in front of him.
I wish Cheon Seong would know how much I'm trying.
If he were to complain that it was hard when he started training in earnest, then at that ti...
'I'll crush him.'
Work hard, while you're still a person.
***
Thump- thump-.
Cheon Seong was lying on the bed, carefully touching his left leg with his hand.
"Kuh..."
The pain felt from his leg. However, compared to the beginning, it could be said that it had gotten much better.
Although he didn't know whether this was because of the dicine that Cheon Myeong had fed him or because of the treatnt at the Demonic dical Hall, Cheon Seong himself was feeling that his leg was healing quickly.
'Are the dicines that hyung-nim gave really effective?'
Co to think of it, there had been no separate dicine from the Demonic dical Hall recently.
Even if a person from the Demonic dical Hall ca in from ti to in, it was only to change the bandage wrapped around his leg or to bring a al.
Since he didn't feel that he was being treated in particular, it seed that he could think that the improvent of the wound on his leg was the effect of the dicine that Cheon Myeong had given him.
"..."
At first, he had eaten the dicines that Cheon Myeong had given him with the resolve to die.
As expected, if you want to live, you die, and if you want to die, you live.
The fact that he was still alive and that his condition was rather improving was unbelievable to Cheon Seong.
'Those dicines... did hyung-nim make them himself?'
And it seed that he had said that the dicine he had made was more effective than the dicine made by Jong Seojun.
No, that part was probably an exaggeration by Cheon Myeong.
But still, it seed certain that Cheon Myeong had dical knowledge. And that too, quite in-depth knowledge.
'He suddenly appeared and beca unbelievably strong, and on top of that, he can even make dicine?'
What on earth was his brother?
If one were to recall his past appearance, his current appearance seed to be that of a completely different person.
"..."
The Cheon Myeong he had known in the past and the current Cheon Myeong, which on earth was his real brother?
Cheon Seong suddenly had that thought.
Creak-.
At that mont, the sound of the hospital room door opening was heard.
'Did hyung-nim co?'
Since Cheon Myeong had been visiting this place every day to check if he had taken his dicine properly, Cheon Seong thought that the person who had entered the hospital room was Cheon Myeong.
However, confirming the person who had entered, Cheon Seong's face froze.
'Why is that guy here...'
It was a eting after a long ti.
Su Yeongseong, he was looking at him with a smiling face.
