Chapter 162: Chapter 35

Without knowing what's going on, Makbong rushed into the room.

“Dolsok and Yoni, you guys must stay alert. We have to move him now.”

“Moving him?”

“Yes, so don't drop him.”

“Ah… got it.”

There was no time to lose.

Although there were two strong guys who could hold him fast, it might be somewhat difficult to pin him down.

‘I wish I had him tied.'

It was too late.

Kanghyok held suture threads to st.i.tch the bone chip on his scalp.

“Hey, he's starting to move.”

The patient's fingers began to wiggle.

Dolsok shouted in embarra.s.sment, while Kanghyok calmly st.i.tched them.

“Pin him down fast. I'll be done in a short while.”

“Leave me alone!” the patient, unaware of the situation at all, shouted at the top of his lungs.

Two stout guys standing outside overheard this and began to ask, “What is this?”

“What the heck is happening?”

Joon Huh, who was watching the whole scene absentmindedly, opened the door slightly and whispered to them, “Everything is alright, so don't worry.”

“He's screaming with pain, isn't he?”

“He's alright, guys.”

And then Joon shut the door.

Instead, the patient made a big fuss.

“You're killing me!”

“Be quiet! Don't shout.”

Dolsok pressed down on him fast.

Only then did the patient begin to relent, but he suffered from extreme pain.

“Ah… It really hurts!”

Though Kanghyok gave him an injection of venopressor and local anesthetic, their effects were less potent now.

The patient yelled out loudly whenever Kanghyok st.i.tched his scalp with a needle.

“Sorry, but let me do it quickly. Your survival depends on this.”

“What do you mean?”

“I wonder if I have to put him to sleep.”

Kanghyok found it difficult to st.i.tch a patient who was constantly moving like him.

“Can I strike him?” said Makbong.

“Nope. He has barely survived, as you know.”

“I can put him to sleep with a bang on the back of his neck.”

“He could be killed if you strike him now.”

Though their conversation was just nonsensical, it took some effect.

The patient, who was wildly struggling a moment ago, became silent now.

“Done!”

Kanghyok st.i.tched the wounds on his scalp perfectly. Of course, there was a round scar as small as a coin on his head.

‘This won't matter at all.'

Putting down the st.i.tching tools, Kanghyok opened his mouth with a light heart, “All done! He's going to survive. Don't move if you want to survive.”

“Yes, sir,” The patient answered in a very tense voice.

“Let me raise his head a bit. Any pillow?”

“Here you go, master,” said Dolsok, giving him a pillow quickly.

“Good. Just stay still to avoid any brain pressure.”

“Yes, yes.”

When he was done, Joon Huh approached the patient.

“Wow, this is perfect!”

He closely examined the st.i.tches on his head. The wounds that were open a moment ago got st.i.tched closed now.

And the patient who got limp regained strength.

“Where did you learn these skills?”

“Well..” Kanghyok couldn't answer quickly. If he told Joon the truth, he would be treated as a crazy guy.

‘Of course, I can't tell him I've learned it at Chungmu Hospital.'

Still, Kanghyok had to answer in one way or another.

‘Sure, let me tell him I'm a genius.'

That was not a lie. It was true that he was once called a genius surgeon.

“I've learned it.”

“Really? How did you learn it?”

“Well, I taught myself.”

“Hahaha. I've never heard or seen medicall skills like this, though I read lots of medical books…”

Joon Huh showed genuine admiration for him.

As Joon kept lavis.h.i.+ng praise on him, Kanghyok felt the sting of his conscience because he suggested to Joon that he invented all the acc.u.mulated medical knowledge over several hundred years in Joseon.

While Kanghyok was trying to justify his actions in heart, somebody opened the door slowly.

They were the two guys who carried the patient here.

“What's his condition? Oh, you have opened your eyes!”

They came into the room after confirming that the patient had come to his senses.

“Why am I here? What happened to me?”

The patient could not know how he came to be carried to this place.

“Don't you remember at all? You climbed a tree to catch the birds in the nest…” said one of them.

“You fell down from the tree with a bang. I thought you would die.”
