The surgery had gone smoothly, and while trying a new technique, Chen Yu also found his rhythm as a doctor.

However, after the surgery, Kohinata Kaori approached Chen Yu and bowed deeply, offering an apology, “I’m sorry, senior brother, I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that on the operating table, I’m really sorry!”

“It’s okay, I know you meant well for the patient, Kaori, and I didn’t take it to heart,” Chen Yu wasn’t upset with his junior sister, and after smiling at Kohinata Kaori, he said, “However, you’ll be the one to write the case report for this surgery.

Submit it to me when it’s finished.

Okay?”

“Yes, senior brother!” Hearing that Chen Yu wasn’t angry, Kohinata Kaori finally smiled and accepted the task he had arranged for her.

After assigning Kohinata Kaori to write the case report, Chen Yu brought up Minami, “By the way, Kaori, have you been in touch with Minami lately?

The last time I saw you two together, it seemed to me that she had feelings for Naoki.

Since you’re her friend, could you ask her what she truly thinks?”

“Ah?

Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for me to ask about that?” Chen Yu’s sudden question made Kohinata Kaori feel somewhat embarrassed and reluctant.

Chen Yu could understand Kohinata Kaori’s feelings; after all, one was his own second senior brother, and the other was a new friend she had grown fond of.

It would have been one thing if Inomata Naoki didn’t have a girlfriend, but the fact that Inomata Naoki already had one only made it more difficult for Kohinata Kaori.

Kohinata Kaori herself was aware of this and hence didn’t want to talk to Minami about this matter, let alone ask about her thoughts and feelings.

Yet, Chen Yu shook his head and said to her, “Think of it this way, Kaori, Minami is your friend, and you wouldn’t want anything to happen between her and Naoki that would make things awkward for everyone, right?”

Hearing Chen Yu put it that way, Kohinata Kaori also knew that he was right.

If something did indeed happen between Minami and Inomata Naoki, it would be the most distressing for her, caught in the middle.

After all, she wouldn’t want her friend to be the third party, especially not with her senior brother.

With that in mind, Kohinata Kaori could only agree, nodding to Chen Yu, “Okay, I’ll try to ask Minami about it.

But I can’t guarantee she will tell me the truth, senior brother, so it’s best not to get your hopes up too much.”

“No worries, just help me ask her,” Chen Yu nodded and then took his leave from Kohinata Kaori, heading towards his own office.

After changing out of his surgical attire and putting on his white coat again, Chen Yu then made his way to the ward.

The patient just out of surgery had already awoken, and today’s anesthetist wasn’t Jounouchi Hiromi.

Since his wife had been promoted to professor, Chen Yu had stopped asking her to be the anesthetist for his surgeries, especially since Jounouchi Hiromi was using a Puppet today, thus Chen Yu was even more reluctant to trouble his wife.

Although anesthesiologists at the hospital have always been in short supply and working at full capacity, it’s customary for them to be responsible for postoperative care.

When Chen Yu entered the ward, this anesthetist had just finished their work and was ready to leave.

After the anesthetist greeted Chen Yu and left, he then turned to the patient on the bed, “How are you feeling, Mr.

Makino?

Do you have any discomfort?”

“Thank you, Doctor Chen, I don’t feel uncomfortable anywhere,” the patient in the bed thanked Chen Yu, and a woman who appeared to be his granddaughter also bowed to Chen Yu in gratitude.

“That’s good, if you feel any discomfort please speak up immediately, do not endure it on your own.” Seeing that the patient had no issues, Chen Yu gave a few more instructions for care and performed another examination before preparing to leave.

However, just as Chen Yu was about to leave, the woman who seemed to be the patient’s granddaughter suddenly asked, “When will Kenji get better?”

Upon hearing the woman’s address for the patient, Chen Yu paused and took a closer look at the woman; then, with a slight nod of understanding, he said, “As people age, their recovery ability does weaken compared to that of an average person.

Mister Makino’s condition is still acceptable, but such a thoracotomy is also a significant strain for him, and it might take one or two weeks for the wound to fully heal.

So please take good care of him, his time…

isn’t much.”

After he finished, without waiting for the woman’s reply, he turned and left the ward.

“Kenji…” The woman turned her head to look at the elderly man lying in the bed, her tears starting to flow as she observed his weakened state from the surgery, the wrinkles covering his face, and his white hair that marked the passage of time.

Hearing the woman’s sobs, the elderly man, who had been so weak he had closed his eyes, opened them again and comforted the crying woman, “Don’t cry, we’ve been expecting this day to come, haven’t we?

And the doctor only said that my time is running short, I can still accompany you for a little while longer.”

“But…” The woman was choked with sobs, reaching out to touch the man but stopped herself, as if remembering something.

“It’s okay, at the end I will give you the gift you’ve been longing for,” the old man said with a weary yet tender smile.

Looking at the man’s smile, the woman’s eyes remained tearful, but she also forced a sorrowful smile.

Outside the door, Chen Yu hadn’t immediately left; after overhearing the conversation between the old man and the woman, he shook his head, sighed deeply, and returned to his office.

Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, Joan of Arc, who had fallen and initiated a massacre, easily dispatched her pursuers and entered Avalon with Gilles de Rais, following Artoria.

This place, although previously the sealed The City of London, became Avalon once again—maintaining its original name and returning to an idyllic state, far from the mortal world—after the seal was lifted and the former The City of London sank to the bottom of the sea, by Artoria’s insistence.

In Avalon, Gilles de Rais received excellent care, and after resting for a time, his wounds healed quickly thanks to the Vampire’s powerful regenerative ability.

Joan of Arc, having recovered from her injuries, began to change, and naturally, Gilles de Rais’s initial idea of retiring to Avalon with her also shifted.

Now, Joan of Arc was thinking about seeking revenge on the church, but both she and Gilles de Rais were well aware that the two of them alone could not challenge the formidable entity of the church.

They would not be able to find a foothold in Europe once they left Avalon, so they needed to consider their future plans carefully.
