When Derila woke up the next morning, Daemon had already gone missing.
A sense of disappointment engulfed her as she stared at the empty sofa beside the bed in a daze.
After a long while, someone knocked on the door.
Only then did she snap out of her senses.
Ellen had brought the medical staff over to check on Derila.
Lying on the bed lazily, she let them conduct all sorts of checks on her.
Inspecting the back of Derila's head, Ellen teased, "Do you still remember me?"
"Yeah.We met at Summerbank."
Derila had a deep impression of Ellen.She thought that Ellen's modern medicine skills were very impressive, and she seemed to respect traditional medicine a lot.
At the same time, she was very responsible and had a strong personality as well.
This was unlike other doctors, who would act all servile because of Daemon's status.
Hence, Derila had a good impression of her.
"If you were willing to do the surgery back then, it would have a higher success rate than now."
Ellen looked at her injury and could not help but feel pity.
"Life and death are all up to fate!" said Derila nonchalantly, as if she did not care at all.
"In Solarain, there's a saying that your body is a blessing from your parents" said Ellen seriously.
"If you don't treasure your body, how can you answer to your parents?"
"I don't have parents" replied Derila casually.
However, she said that, Dr.Feroma's image appeared in her mind.She had been thinking about some people and things for the past two days.
Now that Dr.Feroma's image appeared in her mind so clearly, she remembered her fight with him when she left the mountain and could not help but feel guilty.
Dr.Feroma had a gentle and benevolent personality.He rarely got angry, but when she left that day, he was raging with fury.
It was his first time saying such harsh words.He said that she did not need to come back if she left.
In addition, he even warned her against saying that she was his disciple as he would find it embarrassing.
Because of what he said, she no longer contacted Dr.Feroma.
Five years had passed since she left.
Over those five years, she had experienced quite a lot of hardships.
However, she kept reminding herself that she shall become famous and prove herself to Dr.Feroma.
Unfortunately, before she could accomplish anything much, her life was already in danger.
If she returned so pitifully like that, Dr.Feroma would probably scold her.
"I'm going to change your bandages.It's going to hurt a bit, so hang in there." reminded Ellen softly.
"Okay." replied Derila.
With the nurse's help, she flipped over to the other side and lay on the bed while hugging a pillow.
Ellen started to rebandage the back of her head.
Biting her lips, Derila endured the pain and made no noises.
Soon, Ellen skillfully changed the bandage and said in a troubled tone, "We cannot keep delaying this.We must quickly get into contact with Derilo."
"What's up?" replied Derila subconsciously before correcting herself.
"What?"
With her reputation, everyone thought that she was the only one who could do such a challenging surgery.
They did not know that Dr.Feroma was even more skilled in medicine.
"I'm done, so I'll leave now."
After leaving some more instructions, Ellen left.
The medical staff packed their items and helped Derila flip back around.
However, she said, "It's okay.I'll just lie like this.It's comfortable."
"Okay."
Without saying anything else, the medical staff grabbed their equipment and left.
At that moment, a medical staff suddenly asked, "Why aren't you going yet?"
"I'll clean the toilet before leaving." replied another medical staff.
When Derila heard that voice, she could not help but feel shocked.
"Okay.Thank you, then."
The other medical staff left.
One of them even exclaimed softly, "The newbie is so diligent.She even offered to clean the toilet."
"Yeah! She's not in charge of that, right?"
"Maybe she wants to get closer to the big shots, build a relationship, and earn some tips?"
"Perhaps."
