Greetings, Mister Principal - Chapter 120

The two were delayed for a while by these trivial matters, and when they arrived at the hospital, they were already ten minutes behind the agreed time.

In the office on the first floor, Reiner met Uncle Philip who he heard so much about.

He was short in stature, wearing a white robe, and his cuffs had only one slightly faded golden stripe. Philip had gray hair and looked a little haggard. Presumably, as a mage, life in this small town was not easy.

“Fina, you have grown a lot taller.”

The last time Philip saw Fina was last summer vacation. He had a meal with Fina in Luna Nova Magical Academy when he was out on a trip near Prester.

Since entering the school, Fina had almost never returned home normally. Even the summer vacation was spent in school. With the scholarship, she had completed most of her studies and could be said to be quite independent.

Perhaps only in this way could she leave this disgusting hometown.

“Hello, Uncle Philip, this is the principal of Luna Nova Magical Academy.”

Fina showed a rare soft expression and then introduced Reiner to the doctor next to her.

“Hello, my name is Reiner Ian Gray. I’ve heard about you from Fina. It must be hard working in this town.” (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Reiner shook hands with Philip and could feel that although the doctor was short, his body and his hands were strong.

“I’m sorry to trouble you this time, Mr. Ian Gray.”

Whether it was because he was in the remote town of Sur or because of the different factions of his specialization, Philip didn’t seem to have heard of Reiner’s name. He greeted the two of them, sat back at his desk to take out a few documents, and spread them out on the table.

“Fina, this is your father’s medical report.”

Fina and Reiner leaned over and looked at the writings in the documents.

Philip’s writing was very neat. It contained Fina’s father’s physical examination report, some symptom studies, and his illness in recent weeks.

Reiner didn’t know how advanced the medical development of this world was, but from the report, it could be seen that at least three was a systematic healing system.

It could be seen from the pathology report that Fina’s father was already very weak, and many internal organs had experienced various degrees of failure. This was a serious condition that cannot be improved by surgery or magic.

“Unfortunately, I don’t know why Mr. Napishtim has this kind of illness. He has hardly appeared in the town in the past few years. This time it was because a few mischievous children went to the tower to play that he was discovered lying on the ground unconscious.”

Philip shrugged and said, this time it could only be said to be very lucky. Fina’s father was found in a coma within half a day, but at the same time, his physical condition was completely exposed.

“To be honest, even when I was in my school, I had never seen such a case. Normally, his physical illness was enough to kill him three times, but Mr. Napishtim still persisted, but nevertheless, I don’t think he has much time left.”

Hearing Philip’s description, Fina was stunned, as if she couldn’t believe what she had just heard.

Then, many thoughts flooded her mind.

She originally thought that her father would only fall ill because of overwork and living habits, but now it seemed that Fina’s father had a special disease.

“What kind of disease is it?”

Fina carefully reviewed her father’s pathology report again. The symptoms given above seemed to be complications and did not indicate the cause of sickness.

“Sorry, I don’t know. Maybe a larger hospital or a necromancer of higher rank than me can diagnose it, but I can’t do anything about it.”

Philip sighed. It was the most uncomfortable thing for a doctor to see the patient in pain but was unable to do anything. With a solemn expression, he took out a pipe from his robe, subconsciously trying to light the tobacco in it, but then he glanced at Fina and put it down.

“I later investigated your neighborhood and did not find the cause of this disease. Then, I wrote to my teacher and asked him. He also has never seen such a disease before. I have compiled your father’s medical record and sent it to the Rainbow Tower. I hope we will be able to get some answers.”

It could be seen that Philip was indeed trying his best to save Fina’s father, but the reality was cruel.

“I have known your father for so many years. He has always been the kind of person who keeps everything in his heart. I am afraid that he has already discovered such symptoms a few years ago, but he chose not to… ..sigh…..”

Sighing again, Philip shook his head and said nothing.

Fina was a little lost. This remark meant that at the current stage, her father was almost terminally ill.

Although she had always disliked her father, and even had a bit of resentment at this time, Fina could no longer bring herself to hate the old man.

“My father, he… how long does he still have?”

Finally, Fina asked this question.

Philip picked up the pipe again, paused before speaking.

“WIthin this week.”

Afterward, Philip stood up and walked to the window. He quietly lit the homemade tobacco leaves in the pipe, took a deep breath, and spit out a gray smoke ring.

“You should accompany him more this week.”

Hearing what Philip said, Fina widened her eyes in shock. All the past came to her mind. Fina always felt that she should hate her father, but at this time, there was only sadness in her heart.

Reiner didn’t expect things to turn out like this. He picked up the medical certificate on the table and looked at it. Fina’s father’s body was indeed very weak. He didn’t understand medicine, but he could see that in the report, many internal organs of Fina’s father had lumps.

‘Is this a tumor? Fina’s father got cancer?’

He couldn’t be sure, but Reiner knew that if this was really cancer, then Fina’s father was indeed running out of time, because from the test results, such a lump had spread to all organs. With this kind of condition, even the doctors on earth would not be able to do anything about it.

The medical treatment in this world was dominated by drugs, combined with certain surgical procedures. There was really no way for doctors in this world to treat this strange disease. Even if Reiner could determine that this was cancer, he would not be able to find a way to treat Fina’s father.

Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly.

But in the hospital, it was overcast
