New law of Beast Taming

Chapter 394 395: The proper treatment [pt1]

"Welcome, miss. What can I help you with?"

The medical assistant at the front desk was new and had yet to learn what they were doing. They did not recognize Amane and continued to smile gently at her.

Amane would have found the worker's naiveness cute at other times. But she was too irritated to pay attention to what the worker was doing.

All Amane wanted to do was return to Sakura and treat her. Then, she could start thinking about what happened with Charlie and how to help her. There were ways to open the rift, but a time limit existed for a human to stay alive.

Time was of the essence here, and Amane had nothing to waste.

"I am here for Sakura Tsurugi. I am her cousin and the primary caretaker. I know the room number already, so you do not need to record it for me."

Amane assured the front-desk worker. But the front desk worker's smile faded once she looked at Amane.

Instead of her professional smile, she had a troubled one now. Amane could tell she would not lie about what she would hear from this person.

"I am sorry, but your name had been black-listed from the list of possible visiting potions. The one who black-listed you was the patient's father. As the first family of the patient, I had to prioritize his words over yours."

The front desk worker was testing Amane's patience now. And Akabe Tsurugi was causing more harm than he needed to.

Amane knew the way to save Sakura and bring her back to life. But it would all be meaningless if she was not even allowed to get to Sakura in the first place.

"Are you trying to stop me now? You can try, but I won't guarantee that you would like your results. I also don't mind dragging innocent persons into this mix to get what I want from you."

Amane warned the front desk worker. For the first time, the front-desk worker questioned what she was doing and whether her job was worth losing her life.

She had never been this terrified before, and the situation was starting to worsen. Alarm bells were also ringing due to the sudden increase in the magical pressure in the hospital.

"Miss, you need to calm down. I know that you are upset, and I understand that. But other patients here could get harmed if you did not lower your aura now. Please consider your actions as a public safety hazard and stop."

The front desk worker had tears flowing down her eyes, and her aura was non-existent. She felt like she would die that day. Amane certainly did nothing to hold her desires back.

But when it felt like Amane would let herself go and cause a claustrophobic reaction, Akabe Tsurugi walked into the room. He looked surprised to see Yoko but quickly assessed the situation and decided to take charge.

"Yoko Tsurugi, calm down. I know you want to see Sakura at all costs, but my daughter cannot meet anyone. She is not conscious half the time, and her condition is upsetting. I am sorry, but there is nothing more we can do. You should accept this and head back now."

Akabe warned Amane and waited for her to calm down or say something. But Amane did not notice him or even acknowledge him. She walked past him and headed toward Sakura's room.

She wanted to see Sakura and try out the core solution she had found. She had the power to save Sakura.

"Yoko, did you not hear me? I asked you to stop! You are just going to cause Sakura even more heartache if you fail. I want you to stop trying now."

Akabe Tsurugi continued to yell but did not stop Yoko from heading toward Sakura's room. He understood Yoko was stubborn. She would do what she wanted to without asking.

If she wanted to try her hands at a useless remedy, then Akabe would not bother her.

'Maybe it's because I am a hopeless fool who wants to see his daughter get better. But I don't have the will to stop Yoko. I don't think I could have stopped her even if she wanted to kill everyone and use their souls to save Sakura.'

Sakura was his beloved daughter, and Akabe would do anything for her sake. He did not often show it but loved his daughter beyond death.

Now, he could only pray that Yoko had found a 'real' solution to his problem and not the fake ones these doctors kept wanting Akabe to try and fund. He was tired of their bullshitting. But the hope refused to leave his mind.

...

"Phew, she responded well to the last treatment, so we shall continue this treatment once more. Do we have enough injections? If not, then go and get some more for me. We can make her conscious and get some easy cash."

The doctors in the room laughed as they considered their following action.

They were finally done operating on Sakura, but their methods were unethical. It was a miracle that Sakura did not react to the first batch of experimental material. And that had given these doctors the courage to continue.

Now that Akabe Tsurugi had left the room, these doctors were even crueler and harsher than before. They wanted to try everything they could on Sakura and get their special permits that way.

"Doctor, are you sure we should be doing this? No one said anything against this, but what if we get caught by someone terrifyingly? What if the divine leader catches us? What will we do then?"

The junior doctor asked. Not all doctors were in this project with equal enthusiasm, which showed. The junior doctor was only here because he was promised a promotion.

But once he had agreed, he had been stuck with this group for life. Now, there was no way for him to get out of this mess.

"Hey man, calm down. We are doing what we can to survive. The world is a cruel place, so you cannot fault us for trying to find such shortcuts. Besides, once we show results here, no one will be able to touch us again."

The first doctor gleefully spoke, and he was about to inject Sakura with something when the door was slammed open. The doctor clutched his chest in fright and looked up.

"Hey, don't you know this is a private room that no one can enter? You will get into trouble if you are found here. You should head back and-"

"I have to say that I find your courage commendable. Are you trying to tell me what I can and cannot do when you are trespassing into a private room? I was not aware that this hospital was this helpless."

Amane spoke as she walked deeper into the room. All four doctors getting ready to operate on Yoko paused before turning toward her instead.

"I am sorry, Miss, but there must be a misunderstanding. This is a precious patient of ours that we are studying. There is no need for you to be worried."

The doctor assured Amane and tried to make her leave. If she had stayed there, the doctor would not have gotten to do what he wanted with the body. He would also be bound by morals and lose his drive.

This lady needed to leave at all costs.

"Hmm, you want me to leave you alone? Well, that would be tougher than you expect. You see, the one you are operating on is my 'dear cousin,' and I do not want to leave her alone. I am a little over-protective of her. Do with this information what you want, but don't keep me waiting."

Amane warned the doctors to hurry up. The doctors did not want to anger her more than they already had, so they quickly tried to do their job.

However, Yoko Tsurugi continued to monitor them from a close-up. She looked over their shoulder and even stopped them when they tried to do a personal experiment. It was as if she knew what these researchers were trying to do to Sakura Tsurugi.

At this rate, the doctors would not be able to do anything. So, they had to give up for now.

"Your cousin is fine for now. I am sure she will wake up soon and be healthy. We will check on her again to see if she is fine." Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

The doctors started to head out, but Amane blocked their way. She was in a horrible mood; these doctors were idiotic enough to catch her wrath.

"You all want to leave after saying such awful words to me? Would you elaborate on why my cousin might not be right after you treated her? Does that mean something was wrong with your treatment? I should check inside your skull now."

Amane warned, and one of the doctors hiccupped because of her intimidation.

Anyone could read Amane's less-than-stellar mood. But no one dared to go and ask her what was wrong.

These doctors ran away scared like all the others did in front of an angry Amane. Once alone with Sakura, Amane turned toward her, and all her anger faded.

Sakura looked terrible, but she was asleep this time. Her eyes were closed, which gave the impression that Sakura's sleep was peaceful. But her body was shivering and had given up on making any sound.

Sakura was barely holding on for now, but her body would start breaking down if she did not get the proper treatment.
