My Queen Of Terra - Chapter 254 CAN YOU BE OUR DOCTOR?

If she was in the hospital, it would be easy for her with the bedside cardiac monitors. But she

have no other choice but to rely on her skills.

“Well done, milady. I’ll just wash these in case someone would barge in the room and accuse us of treason.”

Azra bowed to her, referring to the bizarre tools that they used, which are all ridiculous to see in an improvised operating room.

“Thank you, Azra. I appreciate it.” Zoe bowed down to him.

He has been very helpful with them and has also risked his life for them in a lot of ways. And this is one of them. If she made a mistake anytime, he would also be affected with the punishment. And he has suffered enough.

“Do you need anything more?” Erin asked her with furrowed brows.

She was the only team member left with Zoe. Raigon went out to inform the Queen that the King’s operation was successful so she could therefore inform the Royal Council and Physicians and stop their suspicions against Zoe.

“No. Everything’s fine.” Zoe gave her a reassuring smile as she pressed her hand.

“Thank you, Erin.”

She knew how worried she must have been if things didn’t work out as planned.

“Thank you isn’t enough, girl. Are you a cat with nine lives? And even if you are, you’re already on your eight. Stop worrying about other people and worry about yourself, for once.”

Erin crossed her arm. She was really mad at Zoe, but she controlled herself so she could help out in preventing her dreaded scenario.

“I’m sorry for making you worry.” Zoe whispered as she put her finger in front of her lips. Then, she pointed at the King.

Erin’s eyes widened as she realized that he might be awake and could hear them. She nodded and tiptoed outside of the room together with Zoe.

“Is the King really all right now?” Erin continued to ask about the King’s condition.

She knew that there were still postoperative complications that could occur as a patient is recuperating. Her mother has undergone a surgery procedure before and she happened to experience some ahd had to go back to the hospital for further treatments.

Zoe looked around and made sure that nobody’s around before she answered her.

“To be honest, I have only treated the damage from his heart attack so his heart would not turn into a heart failure. And it alone would take months to recover.”

Her lips twitched downward with her shoulders dropped before continuing.

“But I haven’t really checked out who’s whole condition yet. I don’t know if he has other illnesses aside from it.”

“What? The King could have other diseases aside from what he has now?” The Queen blurted out, who appeared out of nowhere with Raigon.

They must have been so engrossed with their conversation or the two walked through a hidden passageway that they were not aware of.

Zoe and Erin both bowed their head to them and darted their eyes downward. Still, she could feel Raigon’s massive self-confident presence as he was towering over them. And the Queen’s domineering stare.

“Can you please tell us more about his case?” Raigon insisted in his deep voice, exuding his princely authority.

It seemed that he was now in his Crowned Prince mode. Zoe gulped as she had no choice but to tell the truth.

“Yes, your Majesty. The King still needs an exercise regimen to help him slowly strengthen his heart. He also needs diet and lifestyle changes that will help reduce his risk of another heart attack, heart failure and other complications. He also needed to have a general check up to know if there are other reasons why he experienced such.”

Zoe explained to the people who were close to the King’s heart. The Queen slightly lost her balance, which Zoe noticed as her head was still bowed down.

“Do not worry, your Majesty. I have already removed the aneurysm which could lead to embolism, ventricular enlargement and heart failure. The King is now far from imminent danger.”

She reassured them.

It seemed that the Queen was impressed with Zoe’s extensive knowledge and honesty that she offered her a position that astounded everyone present.

“Can you be the royal family’s doctor until the King has recovered fully?”

Zoe couldn’t help but lift her head up in surprise.

Raigon also was surprised as he did not expect that from the Queen’s mouth. He stepped backward so he could have a good look at his mother. It seemed that she was serious when she said that.

“Uh – uh -”

Zoe was at a loss for words as it was too big of an opportunity for her. And she wasn’t sure if it would be a good opportunity or a bad one.

Erin, who was beside her, clamped her lips to hide her glee as she thought that Zoe would be closer with her in-laws because of that. But her eyebrows suddenly furrowed as she recalled how evil the Queen could be.

She narrowed her eyes on the Queen to test her sincerity.

“It’s alright if you do not want to do it.” The Queen reiterated. “Just please check him from time to time. I think I can trust you with the King’s health more than the other physicians here in Terra.”

The sides of Zoe’s eyes started to get wet in appreciation of the Queen’s faith in her.

A proud smile curled up in Raigon’s lips as well as he was glad that his mother and the woman who has a special place in her heart was now being socially acquainted in good terms.

Zoe bowed down to the ground in front of the Queen. “It is my honor to serve the royal family of Terra.”
