I'll Be the Queen of the Enemy Country (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 6
“I’m clocking out.”
At the intern’s words—his hands stained with bright red blood—Leber’s mouth fell wide open.
“Ah, but I’m still treating him?”
On the patient bed between them lay a man whose bones jutted grotesquely outward, screaming in agony.
“It’s past quitting time.”
For a moment, Leber felt an emotion a doctor should never feel.
Murderous intent!
Yet, through sheer patience, he suppressed that urge again and again, stomping it down until he barely managed to keep his composure.
“I—I’ll pay you extra. Please bring some clean gauze. I need to wipe away the blood before I can treat him.”
“I don’t need extra pay.”
While the unnervingly calm intern fetched the clean gauze, Leber soothed the gasping patient and continued his treatment.
Half a day later, Leber stood sighing heavily in front of the four-story clinic Elise had funded and he had established.
If he knew how to smoke, what would be coming out of his mouth right now wouldn’t be sighs—but cigarette smoke.
And the ground would be piled high with cigarette butts.
“Leber, you look troubled. Were you busy today?”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
