Chapter 29

The one lying on the hospital bed isn't Vermouth?

It’s possible.

There is a plot in the anime showing

that Vermouth uses this method:

Mother dies,

daughter appears,

to prevent the secret that she doesn't age from being exposed.

That Sharon Vineyard lying on the bed

might just be a "scapegoat" found by Vermouth.

[You blame the other party for why she only came now.]

[As the patient’s own daughter,]

[how could she be so unfilial?]

[Chris Vineyard is silent.]

[You shake your head and sigh.]

[Young people today are always busy with a fast-paced life,]

[ignoring the most important people around them.]

[You tell her]

[that her mother’s condition is not very good.]

[Although the physical injuries have been treated,]

[you cannot save the psychological trauma.]

[You hope she can accompany her mother to see a psychologist after being discharged,]

[and also care for her mother more often.]

[Life should "slow down," don't always be busy with work.]

[The other party holds your hand,]

[sincerely thanking you.]

[You are very gratified.]

[This is the first patient since you started practicing medicine to hold your hand.]

[Other patients would grab your collar.]

[Sure enough, beauties are different.]

"?!!"

That’s a manifestation of others wanting to hit the personality, right?

Encountering such a doctor,

wouldn't ordinary people be unable to help but take action?

Hoshino Ki has black lines on his head.

[A few months later,]

[Sharon Vineyard passes away.]

[You walk slowly into her ward.]

[It is already piled with nurses and patients.]

[Sharon Vineyard has died.]

[The hospital notified her only relative, Chris Vineyard.]

[Chris Vineyard is heartbroken.]

[She holds a grand funeral for her.]

[It is raining on the day of the funeral.]

[Many people are attending the funeral.]

[As her attending physician, you also attend the funeral.]

[On that day, national media all come to film and report.]

[Large crowds of fans arrive upon hearing the news, and wailing is everywhere.]

[The funeral lasts for days before it gradually ends.]

[Finally,]

[everyone has left.]

[The empty cemetery appears particularly desolate and cold.]

[You look at the tombstone of Sharon Vineyard,]

[unable to look back for a long time.]

[You believe that although you can treat others’ physical injuries,]

[you cannot treat others’ psychological trauma.]

[You are very sad.] ===== CHAPTER 79 =====

[Your hand gently strokes Sharon Vineyard’s tombstone.]

[You feel sad for the sudden passing of life.]

[You place the flowers in your arms on the tombstone,]

[and turn to leave.]

[You are at a crossroads in your life.]

[You choose:]

[Selection: Give up on yourself, shout loudly to vent.]

[Selection: Call Chris Vineyard to express condolences.]

[Selection: Continue working, as if nothing happened.]

[Selection 4: Go abroad to further your studies in the field of psychology.]

The purpose of this simulation is to be able to obtain more rewards.

If you want to learn medical skills, learn more.

Only the fourth one might increase new skills.

"Psychologist?"

The world of Conan.

Criminal events of all sizes are happening every day.

Most of the criminals have some neurosis in them.

Psychologists play an important role in criminal cases.

They can provide psychological counseling, assessment, and treatment

for victims, suspects, and witnesses,

and provide help for the investigation of cases.

Learn more.

No harm.

So Hoshino Ki directly places his finger on the fourth option.

[You make up your mind to study medical skills in the field of psychology.]

[You ask the dean to let you continue your studies abroad.]

[The dean’s face seems to age a bit in an instant.]

[There are a few more wrinkles on his face than when you first entered the hospital.]

[His lips tremble slightly.]

[A pair of large hands pat your shoulder heavily.]

[His eyes are full of vicissitudes as he looks at you.]

[He tells you that you are the most proud student he has ever taught.] ===== CHAPTER 80 =====

[And he already knows that those medical devices were resold by you.]

[But he has no intention of blaming you.]

[He agrees to your request.]

[You say goodbye to the dean and your colleagues at the hospital one by one.]

[You go abroad and study and research the top psychological medical skills abroad.]

[And you treat and come into contact with many patients with psychological illnesses abroad.]

[Your psychological medical skills have achieved some success.]

[After a few more months of research and study,]

[you return to your country.]

[You open a psychological treatment research room yourself.]

[Besides specifically helping others treat psychological illnesses,]

[you are also dedicated to researching some major psychological problems.]

[For example,]

[the psychological problems of serial killers who use cruel means to kill.]

[People coming to see you for medical treatment are endless.]

[Obviously,]

[the life pressure everyone bears on a daily basis is not small.]

[You still treat everyone according to your usual "slow pace."]

[The door is piled with patients.]

[For several months,]

[you haven't had time to rest well.]

[Your body is under heavy load.]

[But in order to save more patients,]

[you only use very little time to rest.]

[The remaining time is either spent researching psychology]

[or on the way to treating patients.]

[More and more patients have been treated and recovered by you.]

[The certificates you have received cover the walls.]

[One day,]

[you faint in the psychological treatment room.]

[You open your eyes]

[and discover that you have entered the ward you are very familiar with.]

[This is the hospital where you once worked.]

[You once again lament the insignificance of human life,]

[that it cannot even withstand this level of pressure.]

[Chris Vineyard arrives.]

[She is dressed in a white, tight, backless dress,]

[her dashing, cold, and gorgeous makeup paired with charming eyes]

[highlighting her unique mature woman temperament.]

[This is the first time the two of you have met since her mother died.]

[She brings a bouquet of flowers for you.]

[You are very grateful to her.]

[If it weren't for having her entire body’s skin destroyed,]

[her mother should have been as beautiful as her.]

[You look at the woman’s familiar eyes before you]

[and ask if she had asked you for surgery before.]

[You have a deep memory of your first patient, "Belle."]

[She also had such a pair of blue eyes that charmed all living beings.]

[However,]

[the eye colors of the two are completely different.]

[Chris’s pupil color is green.]

[The other party is slightly startled,]

[obviously not expecting you to ask her this question.]

[She doesn't answer you.]

[You don't pursue it either,]

[but turn your gaze to the window of the hospital.]

[A warm and peaceful scene.]

[You say,]

[you hope this world can "slow down."]

[No injuries,]

[no psychological illnesses.]

[Chris Vineyard is silent.]

[But you can feel that the other party has been looking at you all along.]

[You are discharged in less than a week.]

[You feel that you have been influenced by this world.]

[Only work can bring you the feeling of being alive.]

[You donate your own set of "medical skill" research insights to the hospital,]

[and continue to focus on seeing patients.]

[Today,]

[you are seeing a little girl with severe depression.]

[The little girl’s name is Hinazuki.]

[She is a sixth-grade elementary school student.]

[Her mother is a dance hall dancer.]

[Her father was imprisoned for murder before she was born.]

[Her mother gave up on herself and drank alcohol all day.]

[She brought different men home to spend the night every day.]

[She would punch and kick Hinazuki on a daily basis.]

[At a young age, her body was covered in wounds and bruises of all sizes.]

[Finally,]

[her mother even wanted to join her lover in doing some "inhumane" things to her own daughter.]

[Fortunately, with the full help of her classmates and homeroom teacher,]

[Hinazuki was finally rescued from that dark home,]

[and they received the punishment they deserved,]

[and were sent to prison.]

[Now Hinazuki is being raised by her grandmother.]

[Although her life is now guaranteed to be safe,]

[she has suffered severe psychological trauma.]

[For several months,] ===== CHAPTER 81 =====
