Chapter 19 (1/2)
Taesan stopped in his tracks and slowly turned his body.
The doctor looked at Taesan and took a deep breath.
The atmosphere was so serious that it was chilling.
Also, Gyeongwan and Yoo who sensed such an atmosphere moved slowly to encircle the doctor.
“Ha, haha, hahaha. Why are you doing this to me? I just said it because the Prince doesn’t have the best body condition right now. I-I said a bit too much, well… I’m sorry.”
Taesan spoke while staring at the doctor.
“Do you think it’s a miracle for me to live after the diagnosis?”
The doctor spoke enthusiastically as if he received some energy.
“It’s not only that. It’s a miracle to be alive. I mean, impossible. There is an extent in a disconnected heartbeat. If a detailed heartbeat is completely disconnected, it means death.”
“So, do I look like a dead person?”
“Mmm… well.”
The doctor rolled his eyes to see the reaction.
“Or am I a ghost? Is that what you were thinking?”
The doctor strongly shook his head.
“No! Not at all! What ghost? I’ve never thought of that!”
It was a lie.
Honestly, when the doctor measured Taesan’s heartbeat, the first thing he thought of was a ghost.
“Anyway, your body is at serious risk. It’s very serious so you need to get cured immediately. It will be over if you collapse.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m sure.”
“Can you put your life on it?”
“I can’t.”
As the doctor replied confidently, everyone looked at the doctor with confusion.
What kind of person is he?
“Why are you so sure if you can’t put your life on it?”
“My diagnosis is certain but you are alive so I can’t put my life on it.”
Taesan laughed.
“If you are not going to put your life, then shut up and follow me. Otherwise, you can quietly go home.”
“What should I do if you do collapse?”
If Taesan dies, who would remove the restriction on the doctor?
Taesan didn’t reply to the doctor and continued walking.
Then, the doctor followed closely.
“I will follow you. I will never leave you.”
Taesan laughed again.
“You can’t trust me? You think I will collapse all of sudden?”
“Then how can I trust you? You put restrictions on me during the first meeting.”
“Tell me any time if you don’t like it. There are many choices.”
The doctor slightly turned his head and complained.
“That choice can lead to death or failure and you expect me to choose? Don’t suggest it at all. It’s just a play on words…..”
“I hear you.”
“Oops, I’m sorry. I thought you had bad hearing as you don’t feel well… I will be careful.”
Taesan stopped again and looked at the doctor.
The doctor turned pale all of sudden.
He wanted to say something but he couldn’t dare to speak. He was sweating all over his body.
“I want to live quietly and peacefully. So, I hope you cooperate as well. Don’t test my temper.”
The doctor vigorously nodded his head.
He felt like he was on the brink of death.
Taesan turned around and continued walking.
The doctor sighed and wiped his forehead.
“Gosh, I almost died.”
The doctor suffered and still managed to stay near Taesan.
Also, he checked where Gyeongwan and Yoo were. There was quite a distance.
The doctor lowered his voice as low as possible and asked, “Mr. Prince. How did you find out my identity?”
“I don’t know who you are.”
“You are good with jokes. Were you associated with the magicians by any chance? Is it like a secret sector in the Golden Wall clan? Are those two people believers as well?”
“I don’t know what magician you are talking about. Also, since you are talking about that magician, I’m not sure if that magician knows about this.”
“Damn!”
The doctor closed his mouth in surprise.
Taesan quietly watched the doctor.
“Keep talking. I want to see how long you will talk. I’m really curious. I want to see what’s at your dead end.”
The doctor made a sad face.
He got into trouble while trying to speculate.
On the way back after doing everything at the brothel, the doctor quietly followed Taesan.
His face was mixed with adoration, respect, intimidation, curiosity, and doubt.
The doctor looked at Taesan’s back while mixing all the emotions in his head.
Last night, he observed something unbelievable.
‘It was for 45 minutes.’
Moans that sounded like screams were inside the room where Taesan entered with a lady for 45 minutes.
At first, the doctor considered there was a lot of exaggeration when he heard the information, rumors, and people’s comments.
But, it was true. He didn’t understand how that was possible.
Perhaps, that lady ripped her throat.
However, what the doctor was surprised about wasn’t about Taesan’s nightlife where he was nicknamed as a beast.
He was surprised by the lady there.
‘Why are there so many pure ladies?’
Of course, they were way less attractive than the maids including Danyoung whom he saw at the Golden Wall residence.
Strictly speaking, it was improving the quality by imitating the pure beauty.
