Queen of The Scalpel - Chapter 48
She was so small and frail! ‘Amazing, it’s amazing.’ Since Grayam said that, it probably wasn’t a lie. That girl really was a genius. Beyond the natural order of things!
“Did you say Lady Rose?”
“Yes, please address me comfortably.”
“Alright, Rose.”
The physician warmly smiled and said unexpected words.
“Do you have any mind to come work at the Imperial Cross Hospital?”
“…?!”
Elise looked at his with surprised eyes. The Imperial Cross Hospital! It was the highest medical facility where only the acknowledged doctors could work. And he wanted her to work there?
“Ben, are you serious? You want to take that girl with you?”
“Mmhmm, I’m serious.”
“But the Imperial Cross Hospital is…”
“If it’s a doctor who led a splenectomy, they’re definitely qualified to enter our hospital.”
Gote shut his mouth at what he said. The physician smiled and continued.
“And…I want to see for myself. How much talent this girl has, and what she’ll show us in the future.”
It was an expectant voice. Gote shook his head looking at his friend. He was almost 60 now, but he was still excited like a little child when he saw new medical discoveries or outstanding doctors.
“But will she be accepted?”
“Of course, with my recommendation…”
“No, that child doesn’t have a medical license. I heard the Imperial Cross Hospital doesn’t accept disciples, isn’t that true?”
“…!
Ben looked surprised again.
“She doesn’t…have a medical license?”
“What do you mean, medical license. I said she’s only been at the hospital for less than one month now!”
Gote clicked his tongue. But the physician found a solution.
“Then she can get her license.”
“What?”
“Since the test is going to be held after the birthday ball. I think she can get her license after taking the test.”
Gote gaped.
“What about the qualification? She needs to get the recommendation from 3 professors that the facility acknowledges.”
Taking the test after one month of working in the hospital was unheard of. But the physician didn’t care.
“You and me. And Professor Grayam. What’s the problem?”
“T-That’s true, but…”
Gote looked at the girl who was listening to their conversation.
“Can that girl really pass the test? And this year the Emperor specially….”
His words faded away. Some time ago, the Emperor had ordered something about the test that he wasn’t able to understand. ‘Why did the Emperor order that….?’ The Emperor, who didn’t interfere with the medical field, specially spoke orders for the test this year. It was long, but it could be summarized to this.
-Only qualified disciples can take the test.
-The difficulty of the test shall be raised! So those who aren’t qualified can’t pass!
‘Why would the Emperor have said those commands?’ He didn’t know. But it was an order so the test givers were racking their brains to raise the difficulty. But Ben was carefree this time as well.
“Isn’t she qualified enough? She did a splenectomy! The Emperor probably said those orders so people like her would be chosen.”
Hm, he didn’t know if that was why the Emperor ordered them to do that, but Ben wasn’t wrong. If a genius who was successful in this surgery didn’t pass, then no one else would.
The test-givers were worried that no one would pass this year. Director Gote questioned if the little girl would be able to pass, although she was a genius.
“What do you think? Are you confident about it?”
Rose bowed her head.
“I’m lacking, but if you give me the chance, I’ll do my best.”
She was polite, but at her unhesitating voice, Ben’s eyes shined. ‘I wonder what the results of her test will be with its raised difficulty.’
