Chapter 16: I Am A Friend Of The Governor Of Suwon [4] (2/2)
Without responding, Ganghyuk injected an anesthetic in the area, one shot on the area which would be the source of the greatest pain after the procedure.
Having done that, he finally started the operation. But, because it was a very sensitive part, the mayor shouted out loud in pain, hearing which, Dolseok shook head from the side.
He whispered so that the mayor could not hear; of course, he would not be able to hear the conversation either because of the pain.
”Sir, it seems that you made it more painful intentionally.”
”No, that is not true! How can a doctor do that?”
”Hehe. You are right.”
”But, I do not try hard not to cause him pain.”
”What?”
That was what he said, causing Dolseok to feel that his difficult character had not disappeared as he kept a.s.sisting him.
When he first saw blood during his brother's operation, he was greatly frightened. But, he did not feel any special emotion on seeing the blood anymore.
He even felt good when he saw some pus coming out of the lesion.
”Uhhh… It's coming out.”
”Yes, it is all pus.”
”Ach… Bad thing.”
Dolseok squeezed the pus out with gauze. Even acne gave people pain when it was squeezed, not to mention inflammation in the a.n.u.s.
”Ouch!” The mayor shouted in a loud voice, totally forgetting about keeping face. However, it was difficult to escape from Dolseok.
Since Ganghyuk and Dolseok, who were twice as big as himself, kept him from escaping, he could not run away.
”I am dying, fellows!” He could not see what they are doing, but it was painful as if he were in h.e.l.l. The mayor was frightened, and thought he might be killed there.
Because he shouted like crazy, his soldiers were coming near the door. But, they could not go inside because Makbong and Yeoni had come back and helped in keeping them out.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, Ganghyuk would console the patient; but in this case, he menaced with his low and thick voice.
”Think of your face. You are a scholar… Keep patience.”
”Fellow, you are torturing me. Ouch!”
”Be patient. It is almost done.”
He had already removed the pus, and was going to remove the piles. After this, the mayor would have b.l.o.o.d.y stool for a while, but he would have a new life after a few days.
”Here, finished.”
”Egugu”
Actually, a hemorrhoids operation was painful even when done in a good facility. But, he did it with mess and threat, so the pain must have been enormous.
The mayor seemed to be exhausted, sweating profusely.
”You did a good job. You must soak your backside in warm water every day. After a few days, you will be completely healed.”
”How long does this pain last?”
”If you take medicine, it will be bearable.”
While Ganghyuk explained, Dolseok got the medicine and gave it to the mayor.
”Sir, take this.”
”Ouch..” The mayor took the medicine while groaning.
Ganghyuk said that he had received the treatment, but he had more pain than what he came here with. He thought to show his anger, but he did not have the time or strength for it.
It was because Ganghyuk had ordered him to go.
”Well, come and take your master. He does not need to come tomorrow. It is good to send somebody to get the medicine.”
”Yes, sir.”
The soldiers had come to know who he was at that time, so they could not help but follow his orders.
They made the mayor somehow sit on the horse and then all disappeared into the distance. Although the mayor became furious when he came to be conscious, he could not come back. And even if he did return, there was no way to protest.
”He's the last, isn't he?” Ganghyuk wiped the blood and pus from the floor while saying.
”Yes, sir. Even if there were more, they might have run away by now.”
The mayor had yelled like a cow in a butcher's place. Therefore, it might indeed be true.
”He was very patient.”
”Did you make it more painful for him intentionally?”
”You tried hard to squeeze in the end, didn't you?”
”I was. .h.i.t in the head. Hehe… I think there was no pus left.”
The two of them came out of the room laughing, only to see that the sun had already set down. They needed to hold a lamp up to see the way.
”Ouch! I have a pain in my body. Let's buy some drink.” Ganghyuk murmured while moving his shoulders.
Yeoni greeted them with a puzzled face, ”I am sorry, sir. But, we have one more.”
”What, are there more?
”I think, he is the one whom the governor asked you to see. He came here some time ago.”
Yeoni pointed somewhere in the dark yard. At the end of her finger was a young guy. He was big in stature, and had dignity in his posture. His eyes shone brightly, which made Ganghyuk feel that the place was a bit lighted up even.
But, the thing that made him interested was not his eyes. He actually felt some kind of déjà vu.
'What is this? Did I know him? Why is his face so familiar to me?”
