Chapter 335: Chapter 22 A Story

"So this is that witch..."

"There is no such witch..."

Milan recalled something.

In 666 Hospital, the hardest department to enter was, undoubtedly, the Demons Department. No matter what happened, there were always only four people in that department.

Even during the period when the Faust Family held power, her second brother had always been the head of the Demons Department. The authority of the deputy director within the hospital was considerable, but only the director had the decision-making power over the appointments and removals of members in the Demons Department; the deputy director had mere the right to recommend candidates. It was precisely because her second brother still served as the head of the department that the Darren Family remained significant within 666 Hospital after losing the position of deputy director in the new century.

She once heard her second brother mention a similar case.

Without a doubt... that was a case even her second brother found thorny and extremely troublesome.

Milan glanced again into Dai Lin’s eyes.

"I’m afraid it’s going to be very difficult to save her."

Clamping his lips tightly, Dai Lin said, "So, all we’re doing is observing how she dies in the end?"

"Theoretically, yes."

If it had been the past, Dai Lin would have considered sending Yueyin to the Demons Department at Hospital 444. But now, it seemed inappropriate. The Demons Department was perhaps an even more terrifying place.

"I want to ask you a question."

"Go ahead."

"We... Aren’t we doctors?"

Upon hearing this, Milan’s gaze sharpened slightly.

She looked toward Dai Lin again.

"Who told you that?"

"Aren’t we really doctors?" Dai Lin pressed further: "Then what are we actually?"

Milan pondered, gripping her knees tightly as she stared at the wall in front of her.

"We are something between humans and evil spirits. We cannot live like humans, nor can we die like them."

"What I want to ask is..."

"I know what you want to ask." Milan continued: "A doctor should cure patients’ ailments and give them health. But we don’t. Our treatment is a curse in itself."

Milan continued to rub her forehead.

"You’d better not hold on to the mindset of treating patients. All we can do is just to survive."

Afterward, Peipei returned to her room and continued to sleep.

"I’ll make you something to eat." Milan stood up and said to Dai Lin: "How about Western food?"

"No, it’s not necessary..."

"It is necessary." Milan had already moved towards the fridge: "I’ve bought all the relevant ingredients. I’ll make a sandwich and also prepare a grilled steak."

"Eating a grilled steak late at night?"

"Anyway, no matter how much we binge, we won’t gain weight, and things like cholesterol, ethanol—they can’t harm our bodies.",

Dai Lin, accustomed to thinking as a doctor, certainly hadn’t managed to shift his mindset in time.

"You stay here and keep a close watch on the opposite side. Inform me immediately of any changes."

Then, Milan entered the kitchen.

She then subconsciously glanced at the opposite side again.

Even after coming here, Milan still didn’t feel very secure.

People from the Faust Family definitely couldn’t come here anymore, but she was still not safe.

The intelligence about the Demons Department provided by Dai Lin was too scarce; such scant information was not enough for her to confront people from the Demons Department. However, encountering the patient Yueyin here was an unexpected bonus.

This presented a great opportunity for her to grow stronger.

Yet, at present, the risks seemed much higher than she had anticipated.

This sort of thing also made it difficult for Milan to not weigh her options internally. One slip and she might overplay her hand.

In six days... when that time came...

"Second brother, if you were here, what would you choose?"

Her second brother was a very talented person within the entire family, but conversely... he was a headache for everyone.

He was headstrong and often acted solely on his own whims.

Once he set his mind on doing something, no matter how perilous, no matter the number of people standing in his way, no matter how heinously unforgivable the deed, he wouldn’t hesitate to do it.

This was what left the deepest impression on Milan.

Just like... the reason she was able to stand here alive was because of her older brother.

It was because her elder brother had taken the curse that was meant for him by the family and implanted it within her. To the family, her brother’s survival was essential, yet he preferred to pass the chance of living on to Milan, the least noticeable member of the entire family.

For the continuity of the Darren Family, her brother surviving was definitely of far more value than Milan surviving.

But her brother chose without hesitation to let Milan live.

This matter was known only to her brother and Milan within the family.

Therefore, when Milan woke and saw Dai Lin, she wasn’t surprised.

It was a type of curse similar to the "Cursed Flesh," capable of resurrecting a physician. However, the conditions for its use were much more stringent. Milan knew when she died, her survival wasn’t guaranteed.

She also hadn’t expected to be targeted by a doctor from the Demons Department right after her resurrection.

"Elder brother... my life... it’s because of you..."

Milan touched her heart.

All her family members were dead. Apart from her, there were no other surviving individuals with the surname Dai Lun in this world.

After preparing the late-night snack, she brought it over to Dai Lin.

"Thank you."

Looking at Dai Lin in front of her, Milan asked, "There haven’t been any changes, right?"

"No. That red balloon is still floating outside. I haven’t noticed anything unusual."

"Hmm."

Milan sat next to Dai Lin, instinctively thinking that if her elder brother had survived, he might not even need to ally with Dai Lin to deal with the doctors from the Demons Department.

Originally, the one who should have lived was her elder brother.

Yet that would have meant her own death.

That’s why Milan felt so conflicted.

"There was once a man who wanted to marry a woman, but his family disagreed," she said.

Dai Lin listened silently to Milan’s words, not interrupting.

"The reason was simple. That woman would spark a conflict with a rival family, which was particularly dangerous for his family at the time, as they were at a disadvantage. The man was determined to marry this woman, but the whole family vehemently objected, and despite his resolve, nobody supported him."

Including Milan herself.

Back then, she hadn’t supported her elder brother’s decision, either.

No matter how resolute her brother was, there were things he couldn’t accomplish. After all, he was not the head of the family.

In the end, he had to compromise.

His way of revenge was to give the hope of resurrection to his younger sister, Milan. By doing so, he revenged against the whole family for their obstruction.

Yet even so, he still tried his best to ensure the family could rise again.

Two years prior, her brother had succeeded in restoring the family’s position within the hospital to a point where they could stand equal with the Faust Family.

"The woman he loved eventually fell into the hands of the rival family and endured great suffering. He could have saved her by defeating that family, but it was all too late. In the end, the family was completely annihilated."

Just as Dai Lin was about to say something, Milan said, "Don’t speculate about this story, nor pass any judgment on it. Dr. Dai, you only need to listen to it as a story. It’s purely fictional, any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental."

Time ticked away until daybreak, without any further anomalies occurring.

Morning.

When Yueyin opened her eyes, she felt an intense sense of pressure in her chest.

She sat up in bed.

Only six days left.

But as of now, she hadn’t found any sort of strategy.

At this stage, she really didn’t know what method to use to solve the problem.

After all, no matter how she looked at it, the current issue seemed unsolvable, and she couldn’t even find who had sent that balloon.

Without any clue, she had no idea how things would turn out.
