Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World - Chapter 243: Thank you for saving my beloved disciple today
“Angry, aren’t you?” On the beast cart, Mona looked at Fat Tiger and asked.
“What’s there to be angry about? My life was saved by Doctor Charlotte, and it was our side that caused the trouble and resorted to violence. Yet, he is willing to forgive and forget, which shows his moral character. The ten thousand copper coins we have to pay today are the price we have to pay.”
Fat Tiger smiled and said, “In my opinion, Doctor Charlotte is a person who distinguishes between grievances and is not someone who plots behind people’s backs. He is reliable.”
Mona nodded as she looked at the nearly healed wound on Fat Tiger’s leg.
“In the past two years, while searching for medicine, we have encountered many patients with the same condition as mine. This disease is not uncommon, and it afflicts not only the poor but also the wealthy.
Doctor Charlotte has developed such an effective medicine, even if it requires daily administration and costs a thousand copper coins. But as soon as the news spreads, there will be many patients who will come seeking treatment.”
Fat Tiger continued, “In my opinion, this doctor is worth befriending. Even though he is not a mage, he is an absolute genius in the field of potions.”
After a moment of thought, Mona said, “Previously, to help each other and share information about treatment methods, I collected contact information for dozens of patients with the same condition as you. Perhaps…”
Fat Tiger’s eyes lit up and he immediately said, “Tomorrow, let’s find a way to contact them. This will provide a lifeline for these suffering patients and also help improve our relationship with the doctor.”
“Good, I’ll arrange it once we get back.” Mona nodded.
…
Calva, ninth floor of the White Tower of the Physician’s Association.
Hayward paced with a gloomy expression, while Adolf and Jacques sat relaxed on the chairs beside him. Lu Xian stood to the side, his face equally uneasy.
“The matter of Charlotte being on the expulsion list is not something I can decide. You know the rules,” Hayward stopped his footsteps and looked at Adolf.
“I know. We need the Lord Mayor’s amnesty at the end of each year to be removed from the list,” Adolf nodded slightly, “But it was the Physician’s Association that applied for Charlotte’s expulsion in the first place. As long as you retract your expulsion request to the Lord Mayor’s office, there is a possibility that he will grant a pardon.”
“I heard that the Lord Mayor has already become engaged to Duke Cromwell. Do you think he will pardon Charlotte at this crucial moment?” Hayward said scornfully.
“Elizabeth has already made it clear that she will never marry Capas. She broke through and became a legendary knight on the Night of the Red Moon. She is the one who can hold up Calva in the future. Do you think Capas, a playboy like him, is worthy of her? Can the Lord Mayor dictate her marriage?” Adolf chuckled.
“The Duke’s son is not worthy, and you think a discarded magic prodigy can match up?” Hayward said.
“Regarding the prodigy you mentioned, he cured the incurable disease that the President of the Physician’s Association couldn’t heal and saved the hope of the Elven race. If he’s considered a prodigy, then what does that make you?” Adolf retorted.
“You…” Hayward’s face turned red. This was the most unacceptable news he had received today.
When Lu Xian reported the news, Hayward was almost stunned. If this news were to spread, his reputation as the President of the Physician’s Association would be ruined.
The key point was that this news was not only known within the Physician’s Association.
Louise had already returned to the Elven Forest on a flying mount and couldn’t be ordered around by the Physician’s Association.
After Adolf and Jacques returned, they used this as a condition to request him to retract the expulsion of Charlotte’s request to the Lord Mayor’s office.
He naturally couldn’t accept this condition, as letting Charlotte return to Calva would disrupt the current dominance of the Physician’s Association.
“President, you don’t want this news to be known by others, do you? My master has already agreed with the Holy Maiden Louise. If you agree, this matter will remain a secret to everyone. But if you refuse…” Jacques smiled faintly, leaving the rest of the sentence unsaid, but it was no less impactful.
Hayward’s face turned ironclad, but he could only nod and accept this condition.
“Did he really ‘surgically’ cure Louise?” Hayward couldn’t help but ask Adolf unwillingly.
“I witnessed it. Could there be any doubt?” Adolf asked in return, “If there was any magic that could cure her illness, would you give up this opportunity to establish a good relationship with the Elven Forest?”
Hayward fell silent. He had done his utmost last night and was indeed helpless, which led to his diagnosis as an abandoned person.
That was why he was so afraid of this news spreading. It would undoubtedly elevate Charlotte to a god-like status, dealing a huge blow to the authority of the Physician’s Association.
How many people would believe that the Holy Maiden of the Elven race, a child of heaven, was an abandoned person?
The Physician’s Association couldn’t afford to argue unless he wanted to completely alienate himself from the Elven race.
No matter how authoritative the Physician’s Association was, it was ultimately just an association without high restrictions. Regardless of the race, interests would always take precedence.
He now regretted not eliminating Charlotte three years ago.
Now that he had established a connection with the Elven race, the future development was already heading in a direction beyond his control.
Adolf stood up and left with Jacques.
In the spacious reception hall, only Hayward and Lu Xian remained.
“Adolf, that old bastard, is despicable. He helped outsiders threaten you,” Lu Xian spoke up bravely, with an indignant look as if he wanted to fight Adolf right away.
Hayward’s face remained gloomy, not responding to his words.
“Ahem…” Lu Xian coughed awkwardly, his eyes shifted, revealing a hint of fierceness. “President, why don’t we take decisive action and kill that kid, so we won’t have any worries in the future?”
Hayward glanced at him. “Everyone knows who is responsible for killing that Node. The Elves will cause trouble.”
“Then… let’s wait a little longer. The amnesty order won’t come out for another two or three months. As long as we take care of him before the order is issued, we don’t have to worry about him returning to Calva,” Lu Xian suggested.
“I know nothing about this matter,” Hayward turned around and looked out of the window.
Lu Xian understood his message and quickly nodded.
“Rest assured, I will handle it cleanly.”
…
Charlotte indulged himself for once, buying ten kilograms of top-quality beef from the butcher, as well as a chicken and a rabbit from the neighboring street, to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Diana.
With the smooth arrival of the 100,000 copper coins today, she had contributed half of it.
“If it weren’t for your thriving clinic, I would have brought you home to be my chef and feed me every day,” Diana put down her chopsticks, licked her shiny and sexy red lips, and looked at Charlotte with some nostalgia.
I am happy to serve you, madam. Charlotte smiled lightly.
“If you are willing to pay me a good reward, I don’t mind changing professions.”
“No, no, no. I still rely on your potion workshop to make money. Besides, if I ever have a craving, I can just come to the clinic for a meal without paying extra. Isn’t that right?” Diana said, cunningly.
“Yes, yes, yes.” Charlotte could only nod. How could he refuse her?
“Are you planning to mass-produce the insulin you used for that fat tiger in the potion workshop?” Diana asked.
“That was a newly developed product. I didn’t intend to use it on him if his condition wasn’t critical,” Charlotte shook his head.
“It will take some time before it can be mass-produced. We need to customize the syringes as well. Moreover, there are not many patients with this condition, and very few are aware of it.”
“Don’t you have a super-channel? Sell it starting at one million copper coins, just like the anti-magic potion,” Diana said with a sly smile, teasing him.
Charlotte shook his head firmly.
“No, those patients and drug addicts are not the same. The addicts can pay without guilt. Moreover, the medicine to cure them is a one-time purchase, while this potion needs to be injected every day. It’s different. It would be a disgrace to play around with life-saving medicine like this.”
Diana didn’t continue the topic and stood up to say goodbye.
“Boss, that insulin is amazing. How did you know that the white powder extracted from a cow’s pancreas can cure diabetes?” Vivian couldn’t contain her excitement as she looked at Charlotte, who had closed the door.
“Read more books, and you’ll broaden your horizons,” Charlotte said calmly.
Vivian didn’t mind Charlotte’s somewhat pretentious demeanor. She still admired him, her eyes shining.
“With this medicine, patients with this disease will be saved. Boss, you’re amazing!”
“No, it’s us who are amazing. If it weren’t for you extracting the insulin, I would have been at a loss too. You deserve half of the credit for discovering the insulin,” Charlotte said with a smile, looking at Vivian.
Honestly speaking, she was truly a hidden gem. It would be a waste to keep her as just an assistant physician in the clinic.
Of course, as a junior capitalist, he wouldn’t dwell on such matters!
An employee like her would be hard to find anywhere outside.
Vivian was delighted with the recognition. Such approval gave her a great sense of accomplishment. However, she still politely said, “I only did a little work. It doesn’t seem appropriate to take half the credit.”
“Don’t underestimate what you did. It’s a revolutionary step to extract insulin from a cow’s pancreas. There are only two more steps to go from bovine pancreas to insulin, with high operability for future mass production,” Charlotte said, looking at her with certainty. Then he beckoned, “Let’s go. Tonight, let’s extract the rest of the insulin. Now I know which one is the insulin, so you just need to extract it separately.”
“Okay, okay, okay!” Vivian obediently followed him into the alchemy room and started working tirelessly.
After making the potions that would be sold tomorrow, Charlotte went upstairs.
He exchanged 17 bottles of Strongman Elixir from the system store and drank them all at once.
The surging power washed through his body, fine droplets of fresh blood seeped from his skin, and fatigue vanished. The rising strength excited him even more.
He stood there, waiting quietly for the medicine to be fully absorbed before rinsing off under the shower.
With the increase in strength, his body was beginning to accept more one-time power enhancements.
Coming out of the bathroom, he instinctively took out the black stone and glanced at it.
There was a new message from the Hermit.
[Hermit: Miracle friend, thank you for saving my beloved disciple today.]
