Female Novel
Chapter 2669
He thought Luca came here to check her wound and change the dressing, but he did not expect her tocome to remove the stitches. That was why he did not prepare for it.
“Besides that, my next research project has been confirmed," said Luca as she swayed her hand. “Canyou help me remove the stitches?"
“I've asked the intern to bring the suture removal kit in here." The moment Johann finished hissentence, the intern brought the suture removal kit in and said, “Dr. Park, I've brought it here."
“Thanks." Johann opened the package and took the sterilized cotton ball out. He cleaned the stitcheson the wound.
He did it gently. Even though the wound looked like it had healed, he was afraid that he would hurtLuca.
The intern saw Luca and doubted if he had remembered the date when Luca got injured wrongly.
However, the day Luca got injured was also the day Mr. and Mrs. Norman got into the hospital. It tookeveryone in the hospital by storm. He remembered it correctly.
The intern shot a glance at Luca's palm.
Johann picked up the stitch scissors and said calmly, “There's no need to look at it. The wound ishealed."
"Oh," the intern replied stiffly. He saw that the wound was healed, indeed. The wound healedoutstandingly fast!
Johann was quick. After he removed the stitches from Luca's wound, he put on a bandage on Luca'swound to prevent the holes left by the stitches from being infected.
“You may remove the bandage tomorrow," said Johann.
“Got it." Luca nodded. She took her medical card out and handed it to him.
“I'm not taking any consultation fees. It's on me." Johann shook his head. It was just some chumpchange, and he could not be bothered to take it.
“Thank you." Luca did not insist on paying.
Johann pointed at the fruits in the bag and asked, “Are they for me?"
“No, I have to go upstairs to visit Mr. and Mrs. Norman, as well as Aunt Wanda." Luca was a littleembarrassed. She did not expect Johann to ask her something like that.
However, she knew Johann was just trying to lighten the atmosphere by asking that.
"They're all from Luke's side... Dr. Craw, I'd love to have some fruits too." Johann blinked his eyesplayfully and chatted with her.
He had a feeling that Luca would be able to help him more in the future with her capability.
Johann thought what Luca had learned on the Island of Despair could be of great help to the patients inthe future.
The intern could no longer stand Johann teasing Luca and said, "Dr. Park, the nurses and patients'family members are all fighting to give you fruits as gifts. Why don't you get them from them?"
"Shut up." Johann rolled his eyes at him. The intern was getting bolder each day.
The intern rubbed his nose after getting scolded. He immediately replied, "Dr. Park, I'm going back toread through the medical records if there's nothing else."
After that, he quickly got out of Johann's office like a rabbit running away after it almost got caught.
Luca smiled.
Johann teased her when he saw her smiling, "Dr. Craw, feel free to come to the hospital to work whenyou're bored of your job one day. You're always welcome here."
Luca was startled for a moment. "Dr. Park, are you trying to poach an employee?"
Johann explained, "Well, you're a talent that's hard to come by."
"I know you're talking about your work. But I'm just an ordinary pharmaceutical scientist. Perhaps Iknow more than the others, but I'm just an ordinary person." Luca rejected him calmly.
Luca had never thought of working in the hospital.novelbin
When she could be herself again one day, she was not sure if she would get back to architecturaldesign or continue to be a pharmaceutical scientist.
Still, it was unlikely that she would work in the hospital.
Luca did not like the hospital.
"Oh yes, Dr. Park, my. No, how's Aunt Wanda doing now?" She would like to know Wanda's currentcondition.
"Ah, I was just about to talk to you about this. The response of the patient's body to the chemotherapyagents seems to be more serious than I thought. But she's fortunate enough to have the herbalmedicine you prescribed for her. It has helped to reduce most of the symptoms of her body rejectingthe medicine at the moment. But we're only able to find out how your medicine works when shefinishes a course of treatment," replied Johann.
"Okay. I hope the medicine can reduce Aunt Wanda's pain," Luca uttered slowly.
"If the medicine has a great effect on her, I'd like you to promote the medicine to others. It can helpmany patients." Johann gave her a sincere look.
"Let's discuss this later. It's herbal medicine. The dosage of the medicine isn't the same for everyone. Ihaven't come up with a standard dosage yet. Besides, if clinical trials are performed for the medicine,I'm afraid we won't be able to find out the right dosage for everyone within a day or two even if thereare volunteers," said Luca.
The standard dosage for everyone was in Shanks' head, but he did not teach Luca that.
They seldom used the medicine. That was why Shanks only mentioned the recipe when he taught herhow to make it.
However, it reminded Luca of her foster dad when he mentioned chemotherapy. Her foster dad was inpain back then. Hence, Luca kept the recipe of the medicine in mind.
That was why she was able to help Wanda.
"That's true." Johann nodded as he agreed with her. "If you need any volunteers, there are millions ofvolunteers for you to choose from in the hospital. Think about it."
“Dr. Park, I should head upstairs.” Luca carried the bag of fruits and rose to her feet.
“Sure.” Johann did not make her stay. He only hoped that Luca could consider what he mentioned toher.
He was doing it for the patients' sake.
Even though he had no idea who taught Luca these, the recipe of the medicine was like something thathad been drowned out by history though it existed a hundred or even a thousand years ago. Hermedicine had a miraculous effect in an era marked by the rapid adoption of new technologies.
Johann had looked into the recipe Luca sent to him before. Most of the herbs were to improve health.There were a few drug recipes that could cure dizziness and vomiting, but the herbs were common andcould be found everywhere. He wondered why the herbs could work miraculously when they weremixed.
At least it worked on Wanda.
Wanda, who had just received chemotherapy once, no longer felt dizzy and nauseous after she tookthe herbal medicine. Her appetite was coming back too.
If it were not for the nurses in the hospital who prepared the medicine for the patients, Johann wouldhave doubted if Luca added anything to the medicine.
However, every step was done in the hospital when they prepared the medicine. Luca had neverintervened with it.
Johann was secretly amazed.
He gave Luke a call.
The phone rang once and the call was rejected.
Then, Luke sent him a message: [Meeting. What's the matter?]
“That saves him the trouble.” Johann understood what Luke meant. He was in a meeting, and it wasinconvenient for him to answer the call.
He sent Luke a long message. It was briefly about Luca's medicine. In order to let more patients benefitfrom it, the medicine had to be FDA-approved. He wanted her to continue to work on the medicine sothat the medicine could go through the procedures and be launched in the market.
[It's up to her.] Luke replied to his message.
Johann let out a tsk sound.
It was mostly the wife who obeyed the husband, but things seemed to be different for Luke and Luca.In their relationship, it was more like the husband submitting to his wife.
Luca would have agreed to it if she was willing to work on it.
Johann could sense her hesitation. That was why he contacted Luke
