To Hell with Being a Saint, I’m a Doctor

Episode 283 Midnight of my life (2)

Vermata gasped for breath and entered the bedroom.

In fact, it was a wound that deservedly collapsed before reaching the mansion.

However, he endured it with mana and mental strength and reached the bedroom.

As soon as he crossed the door, he collapsed in exhaustion.

“Heo-eok… heo-eok…”

While exhaling, he moved his fingers and stretched the floor.

Ray, who was finishing Tifria’s vascular surgery, vaguely guessed Vermat’s presence outside the door.

But even if I expected to come inside, I didn’t know that my whole body would be covered in blood like this.

Ray hurriedly approached him.

“what’s the matter?”

Even though there must be intense pain, he opened his mouth as if to say something.

“My own people… heo-eok… they are coming here… heo-eok…”

He gasps for breath as if it is too much to even say.

Ray scanned Vermat’s body.

A laceration to the side and severe bony wounds to the shoulder and abdomen.

It was clearly a sign of a battle.

In addition, it was attacked in places that could be considered fatal enough.

Looking at it neatly cut out like this, the opponent must be the owner of a fairly high level swordsmanship.

His complexion hardened a little.

“I need treatment right now. Wait a minute.”

As Ray tried to prepare another operating table, Vermatt hurriedly grabbed his wrist and shook his head.

When I look at him with an expression that I don’t know why, he speaks clearly and quietly.

“…Tifria… You said that the heart was the problem…”

“…That’s right. But the operation went well. Now worry about you.”

Despite Ray’s cool words, Vermat did not let go of his hand.

No, rather, it gives strength to the hand holding the wrist.

A stream of pink blood flowed from his mouth.

It must be a sign that the artery is damaged.

“My heart… If Tiffria receives it, can it live…?”

Hearing that one word from Vermat, Ray felt as if something was connected in his head.

The reason why he had never missed Tiffria’s visit until now.

And even the reason why he always went to work after the hospital visit.

The hospital visit was simply to see the condition of the younger brother because he was worried.

Also, it was to create a light incident one by one so that the faction belonging to it would not notice what was inside.

Besides, how did she become the head of the family by instructing vampires to harmonize with humans without blood-sucking humans?

Why was Tifria, who was pure-blooded but possessed only feeble strength, not assassinated in the faction fights so far?

As the things he had been wondering about were clearly revealed as if a puzzle had been put together, the scarred Vermata came into view again.

My shoulder blades are shaking and my intestines are about to protrude from my abdomen.

If it had not been for the vampire’s ability to heal, these wounds would have been fatal.

With a wound like this, there would be no problem even if he died of shock along the way, but did he come all the way to this place gritting his teeth to save one of his younger siblings?

Ray got down on one knee and brought him to eye level.

Her usual playful voice had become serious.

“…if you have a new heart, you can save it.”

Upon hearing his answer, Vermatt smiled faintly.

“Save… Heo-Eok… I’m going to die anyway… Shouldn’t someone have to live… Had it been the other way around… I would have wished for Tiffria’s heart… Heo-uh… I hate it so much Living with your older brother’s heart… It must be quite fun bullying…”

You can tell that those words are false even if you don’t have the eyes of the truth.

Ray thought for a moment.

‘…Is it really right to transplant the heart of a living person even though he is a patient? One of the two will surely die, but if you have to choose the one that should have died, it’s Typhria without a second thought.’

It is her fault that this happened in the first place.

Jusu, a vampire, did not try to suck human blood and gave priority to his stubbornness, even creating a situation where his brother was prepared for death.

Even so, it is heartbreaking even from the viewer’s point of view as he confronts his brother without knowing anything.

There are probably dozens of vicious nails driven by Tiffria herself into Vermat’s chest.

When he showed a worried attitude, Vermatt urged him.

“There’s no time… until the compatriots arrive… it won’t take half a day…” ”

…”

Ray looked straight into Vermart’s eyes.

Although he had no strength and his pupils trembled, he had a conviction that no one could break.

These were the eyes of those who had something they wanted to protect, even if they were bent dozens of times and broken hundreds of times.

Ray is not a man who is cold enough to refuse even if the other person is determined to this extent.

“If I fall asleep in my current state or administer an anesthetic, I will surely die. Unfortunately, we don’t have state-of-the-art medical equipment like a cardiopulmonary bypass here, so you’ll need to be alive for at least three minutes to get your heart removed. Even if you do have an operation, it means that you have to do it while you are conscious.”

In other words, you have to endure having your heart cut out alive.

Vermart laughed.

“…What else am I saying… It’s okay… My body is already numb…”

At that, Ray laughed along.

The only thing that makes her smile is her facial expression.

The chest was crying for him.

You cannot hide your body condition in front of yourself and no one else.

The central nervous system and the brain are all right, but the sensation cannot go away.

Vermata is lying because she thinks of herself doing the operation.

Ray threw a joke at him who spewed lies every time he opened his mouth.

“You’re a style that elves hate.”

“…hehehe… nagging is enough… I can barely stand it… heo-euk… it’s hard, so do it quickly… heo-euk…” His

breathing became more difficult than before.

Now, he must be holding on only with his mental strength.

Ray quickly connected the surrounding table and chair and converted it into a usable operating table.

Lay Vermart next to Tifria, who has not yet completed the suturing of her chest.

Taking out new gloves and holding a scalpel, he looked at Vermart and said.

“…Then let’s begin.”

“…You’re making me wait in many ways… Hurry up…”

With his words as the starting point, the scalpel made a long vertical incision in Vermart’s chest.

“Ouch…”

Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as if he was desperately enduring the pain.

Ray removed his ribs.

With quick hand movements, the organs surrounding the heart are gently removed.

Awesome—! Creepy—!

Vermata, who had been gritting her teeth to overcome the intense pain, now lost all of her teeth.

Blood oozes out of his mouth, leaving only his gums.

Ray’s hands grew faster as he watched them.

I want to reduce his pain even a little by using mana.

one can’t do that

Even though he could control his body with the spirit, there was no way to dull the pain.

From now on, only Vermat had to endure.

“Hold on a little longer!”

I’ll finish it soon!

Too miserable to talk about it, I swallowed it down my throat.

After finding the heart, Ray cut off the blood vessels connected to the heart one by one, from the coronary artery to the internal thoracic artery.

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.”

Vermatt let out a grotesque saliva.

Ray took the heart and quickly moved to Tiffria.

Vermata, who was looking at him from behind, could not bear the pain in his chest and opened his mouth.

There is no longer any strength in the body.

Because the heart was torn, the blood circulating in the body became cold and eventually even the pain subsided.

After a while, it seems to feel comfortable.

His eyes slowly closed as if he were sleeping.

At the last moment, he saw his life so far as a dream.

unfair life.

I walked a path that was unfair, insulting, and yet irresistible.

Nothing went my way, and nothing I could do according to my will.

All he was given was his mother’s instructions.

A puppet who must act as he pleases according to the wishes of others.

That was life up until now.

The orders of the one she calls mother were quite harsh.

He had to throw away his beloved wife as food for his own people, and he had to bury his one and only daughter, who could not be exchanged for anything in the world.

In just three days, I lost the things I wanted to protect the most in my life that I had built up over decades.

I didn’t care what was going on now.

A life without fun is a life without value.

If even someone’s happiness could be taken away just because they were pure blood, he hoped that this dirty blood would melt away.

which day

When you have to keep your seat and sit still in the scorching sunlight.

It was there that he first met his half-sister.

Unlike herself, she had a smile she had never seen before and had excessive love for humans who were nothing more than her mother’s playthings.

At first, it was resentful and hateful.

There was only a sense of envy for no reason, and he wanted to take out his sword and cut his throat at any moment.

However, she gave a smile to herself and reached out her hand.

It was as if sweet rain had fallen in the scorching hot sun of motherhood.

My eyes swelled up as if they were going to burst, and it seemed that dried tears would flow from them.

He hid it under the name of anger.

I don’t want to lose any more.

Those close to her know how her mother treats her.

I’d rather live as an enemy than kill her.

He made up his mind and formed a faction.

He purposely earned her hostility by threatening humans he had no interest in.

Only she will not know the existence of a mother.

If she had an enemy called herself, she wouldn’t be able to look elsewhere.

everything went according to plan.

Seeing that my mother didn’t say anything, it seems that she tolerated the situation.

But not anymore.

This happy life in its own way has come to an end.

Orders were given to the mother.

Take this opportunity to get rid of Typhria, who is suffering from a disease.

Then, become the head of the family, unify the factions into one, and dedicate the forces to yourself.

I tried to find a solution, but all I could do was stumble. No suitable solution was seen.

To make matters worse, Tiffria, whose disease has worsened, has brought in a human healer for treatment.

As a mother, there will be no opportunity like this.

Naturally, the order was given straight away.

I turned my back on the people I had been with for decades.

A fierce battle was fought in an unknown forest.

One of the elders who have been in harmony for decades speaks.

‘It’s a life of losing and leaving without achieving anything. What a miserable life this is.’

That’s definitely true.

It was a life where there was much to lose but nothing to gain.

However, thanks to the human therapist who had been ignored until now, he was able to convey something to his sister even at the end of his life.

It was her heart, her beliefs, and what gave her the courage to stand up to her mother.

With just one dying heart, the younger sister will come to life.

Vermata, who looked like her chest was pierced, murmured.

‘…Well, even an end like this isn’t bad.’

In the dream, he closed his eyes.

Then, a cool wind and shade gradually began to appear in the place where the strong sunlight was shining.

I see a swing hanging from a tree and people laughing happily on one side.

A beautiful wife with long ears and a precious daughter with an innocent smile.

Vermata looked at her right hand.

There, Tiffria was holding her hand tightly.

He casts a gaze telling him not to go and shakes his head.

It’s the hand I’ve held for over a hundred years.

You were always the one holding on, but now it’s time to let go.

Vermatt smiled pleasantly and removed the hand he was holding.

Even though my brother did a lot of things he couldn’t do.

Even though I am an ugly brother who has nothing to offer.

He was satisfied that he was able to protect the last smile.
