These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 86: A small miracle (4)

This was a beautiful scene between a brother and sister who had gone through hardship and received a small miracle in the end.

But that scene was interrupted by the doctor who gave an awkward cough to cut in.

After Wang Rong let go of Wang Jing, the doctor had the nurse help Wang Jing with a few things before waving his hand for us to follow him outside.

Once we were outside, the doctor slightly narrowed his eyes to reveal a serious look before saying, "I want you to be frank with me. Did you do something to help the patient?"

The two of us were surprised to hear the doctor ask us this.

Both of us looked at the doctor with confused looks since we didn’t know why he was asking this all of a sudden.

Seeing us look at him like this, the doctor explained, "We are the ones that are in charge of her health, so it’s only natural that we ask this kind of thing. We want to make sure that we give the best care to our patients."

Though the way that he said this made it seem like he said this out of concern for Wang Jing, I could see that there was something different behind his words.

It was something that was a bit more selfish.

Wang Jing’s case must have been something that had bothered them for a while and since she suddenly became better, it was only natural that they would suspect that we did something.

If we had some way of curing her, then if they were to use this to cure others…

Seeing that we weren’t saying anything at all, the doctor continued by asking, "Did you feed her something or do something to her?"

This time, the doctor’s voice was a bit more pushy.

I slightly knitted my brows before saying, "No, we didn’t give her anything at all."

Wang Rong could also see through the doctor’s words, so he said, "That’s right, we just saw that she looked better today, which was why I insisted on getting her test."

The doctor narrowed his eyes even more when he heard this before asking, "Is that so? Are you sure that this is the case?"

I just calmly said, "I don’t even know what illness she had, so how could I have done something? It’s my first time here."

The doctor’s eyes relaxed a bit when he heard this since he knew that this was indeed the case, the nurse had told him this earlier.

Following this, I asked, "What illness did she have before?"

The doctor didn’t answer right away, but eventually he said in a voice that seemed a bit exasperated, "She had some kind of infection that we had never seen before, which is why we didn’t know how to cure it."

Infection?

The appraisal window told me that it was mana corruption, so why was the doctor calling it an infection?

There was something strange that followed the mana corruption…so there might be a chance that it was something special.

Regardless, it was strange that the doctor didn’t know that it was mana corruption since it should have been a common disease.

It seemed that there was more than met the eye.

Seeing that neither of us had anything for him, the doctor eventually said with a sigh, "I’m sorry, I was a bit agitated. This is a case that we’ve been frustrated over for a long time and for the patient to suddenly get better like this, it really is strange. Perhaps she just developed immunity to the infection and got better on her own, or perhaps something else happened. If the tests don’t show us anything, then there’s nothing that we can do."

The doctor gave a sigh before turning to leave, "I’m sorry I wasted your time. I’ll leave you now."

Wang Rong looked like he wanted to say something, but I stopped him from stopping the doctor.

He looked at me with a confused look, but I didn’t say anything or give him a look that explained it.

I was just waiting for the doctor to leave.

Once the doctor was gone, I waved for him to follow me since I didn’t trust that the doctor would leave this matter alone that easily.

When we were outside and in a place that was isolated, I finally turned around to say, "Even if she seems cured right now, there’s a chance that she’ll relapse."

When Wang Rong heard this, there was a shocked and worried look that immediately appeared on his face.

He came forward to grab my shoulders before asking, "Boss, is that true?"

I slowly nodded before saying, "From what I’ve seen, it’s mana corruption. Moreover, it’s an innate weakness to mana, so unless we cure the source, she won’t be completely cured."

Wang Rong looked like a balloon that was deflated when he heard this.

However, I quickly added, "But that doesn’t mean that we can’t treat the symptoms. While we can’t cure the source right now, we can at least cure her symptoms and give her a normal life."

Wang Rong slowly perked up again when he heard this before saying, "Boss, will you really do that?"

"She’s your family and you’re my subordinate, so it’s what I should do as your boss."

Then as if I felt that something was missing, I added, "But make sure that you don’t betray me. If you do, then I won’t know what I’ll do."

Wang Rong didn’t seem to mind that I had threatened him at the end.

There was a smile on his face as if he was finally understanding me.

Then before I could react, he suddenly fell to his knees and bowed his head to say, "Boss, my life is yours. I’ll walk through fire and knives for you. I’ll do whatever you want me to do from now on."

I was embarrassed seeing him act this way.

After looking around to make sure that no one was around, I lifted him up and said, "Alright, as long as you get it."
