He thought Luca came here to check her wound and change the dressing, but he did not expect her to come 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. “Can you help me
remove the stitches?"
“I've asked the intern to bring the suture removal kit in here." The moment Johann finished his sentence, 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 stitches on the wound.
He did it gently. Even though the wound looked like it had healed, he was afraid that he would hurt Luca.
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 took everyone 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 is healed."
"Oh," the intern replied stiffly. He saw that the wound was healed, indeed. The wound healed outstandingly fast!
Johann was quick. After he removed the stitches from Luca's wound, he put on a bandage on Luca's wound to
prevent the holes left by the stitches from being infected.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“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 chump change, 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 little embarrassed. 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 eyes playfully 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 in the 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 to read 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 when you'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 I know more than
the others, but I'm just an ordinary person." Luca rejected him calmly.
Luca had never thought of working in the hospital.
When she could be herself again one day, she was not sure if she would get back to architectural design 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 current condition.
"Ah, I was just about to talk to you about this. The response of the patient's body to the chemotherapy agents
seems to be more serious than I thought. But she's fortunate enough to have the herbal medicine you prescribed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfor her. It has helped to reduce most of the symptoms of her body rejecting the medicine at the moment. But we're
only able to find out how your medicine works when she finishes 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 help many
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. I haven'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 there are 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 her how to make
it.
However, it reminded Luca of her foster dad when he mentioned chemotherapy. Her foster dad was in pain 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 of volunteers 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.
