Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 105

Chapter 105

Jwa-geol delivered something urgently to Ha Dae-bung.

“You need to see this.”

“What is this?”

“It’s a letter found in the room of the Supreme Elder.”

“A letter?”

Ha Dae-bung bowed his head and took the letter he had from Jwa-geol.

“Are you saying this came from the room of the Supreme Elder?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Mmm…”

After understanding the situation, Ha Dae-bung went to Jin So-ah’s room with the letter in his hand.

“Can I come in?”

“Yes, please come in.”

Ha Dae-bung entered Jin So-ah’s room with Jwa-geol and placed the letter on his desk.

“What is this?”

“It is a letter left by the Supreme Elder.”

Where’d he go?

When Ha Dae-bung gave him a meaningful look, Jwa-geol began to explain.

“Today I heard there might be a shortage of rooms, so I went to the room manager’s rooms to get rooms for the patients. There was no one, and there was only this letter left.”

“What?”

Jin So-ah looked at the letter with trembling eyes.

“He’s not the type to do something like that…”

Upon opening the sealed envelope, a letter appeared written with crooked lyrics. Jin So-ah frowned at the indescribable bad calligraphy and began reading.

“I’m leaving.”

I wanted to stay a little longer, but if I keep that up, I feel like I’ll rot here for a thousand years, so I’m leaving now.

I thought I’d stay longer if I could help, but, look at it as I look at it, I don’t think it would be very helpful even by staying, so I think it’s best to leave.

Please manage the infirmary well on your own. However, if there is something I would like to ask you, don’t be too greedy about money. Money is good, but if you become too obsessed with it, you won’t be able to see what you really need to see, as my teacher said. So please keep it in mind.

So-ah will become an excellent doctor, and the manager will manage the medical room splendidly, I think.

By the way, make sure you collect the winnings correctly. If I find any trace of embezzlement, I will pursue you to the end of the world. I will collect when the time is right.

Well, then I’m leaving.

“…What is this supposed to mean?”

Jin So-ah grabbed the letter with trembling hands.

“Where are you going?”

When Jin So-ah looked up, Ha Dae-bung shook his head.

“He usually doesn’t move much, but when he proposes something, he always does. As he has already decided to leave, there would be no point in trying to stop him.”

“Still…”

Jin So-ah still looked at the letter with a face unable to control his emotions.

Although he was annoying and there were many annoying things, he never imagined that Wei Yan-ho would leave like this. He thought Wei Yan-ho would stay with him and live like a parasite.

But he didn’t care if he lived like this anymore…

“Go away so suddenly like this.”

Jin So-ah bit his lip hard.

“Gender!”

“Yes, Master of the Hall.”

“Deploy people to perform the search.”

“Excuse me?”

“Considering his temper, even if he left early this morning, he couldn’t have gone too far. It’s very likely he’s still close, so please find him.”

“But, Master of the Hall, the fact that the Supreme Elder has gone like this means that he didn’t want to see our faces before he left, did he?” If we looked for him, wouldn’t he go against the wishes of the Supreme Elder…?

“Even so, please find him.”

Jin So-ah said with a severe face.

“This isn’t going to work. You can’t leave without even saying goodbye.

“It’s not the end, he’ll come back one day.”

“Will he?”

“Excuse me?”

“It doesn’t look like the kind of person that would come back to Hubei just to see us…”

“…”

Jin So-ah’s words made sense.

They thought I could come back for the money, but on second thought, that was something that could be done without him coming personally.

Wasn’t he the heir to the Wei family? It was something that could easily be achieved by simply sending family members.

“I will look for him.”

“Hurry up! Hurry up, please!”

“Yes!”

—

“Hmph.”

Wei Yan-ho was sulking and had a face that showed he was very upset.

“Grr.”

It’s really good that a person is kind.

Don’t you say the benevolent are invincible?

Good people will surely receive blessings.

But there is also a saying in the world: excess is as bad as deficiency.

Even goodness should have limits. When goodness goes too far, it becomes easy to overcome.

Right now, Wei Yan-ho seemed like an easy rival.

“Grr.”

Where there is light in the world, there is also darkness. Since Wuhan was the most prosperous city in Hubei, slums were formed accordingly.

A marginal neighborhood is simply a place where poor people live together, but due to its nature, dangerous incidents often occur. So it was not a place for a single young woman to wander alone.

Whether he knew it or not, Jin Ye-ran moved around slums here and there, providing medical treatment.

“Grandma, your knees are pretty bad, aren’t they?”

“Oh, I can’t even describe it! I should die instead of living like this for so long.”

“Wait a minute. I have a good ointment. Apply it and…”

Jin Ye-ran applied ointment directly to the old woman’s legs and wrapped them with bandages.

“Normally you wouldn’t need to wrap it like this, but since the ointment could become contaminated, wrap it with a clean cloth.”

“… Will there be more opportunities to apply it?”

Here’s the ointment.

Jin Ye-ran took the whole ointment container out of his package and gave it to the old lady.

“I have no money!”

“I don’t accept money.”

“Don’t you accept money?”

– Yeah, I’m not taking anything. What money would I get if you had nothing?

“…really?”

“Of course.”

Jin Ye-ran smiled brilliantly.

Wei Yan-ho couldn’t help but hit his chest when he saw this scene.

“Grr!”

When the irritation increased and turned his body, the branch of the tree on which he was sitting swayed.

A feeling of congestion, as if he had eaten a hundred hard-boiled eggs in a row, invaded him, but when he thought about it, it was the path Jin Ye-ran had chosen.

– Then Grandma, I’ll come back next time.

“What do you mean you’re coming back? Go treat others!”

“Yes, see you next time.”

When Jin Ye-ran greeted her with a smile all over her face, even the abrupt old woman nodded and shook her hand.

“Be careful when you go, there’s a lot of bad guys around here, you shouldn’t be walking around with that face.”

“Yes, I will be careful.”

Jin Ye-ran left the house and headed for the next one. Thus, she visited the houses of the slums one by one all morning, and only then found a quiet place and took out her lunch box.

When Jin Ye-ran sat down, Wei Yan-ho jumped out of the tree.

“Oh, my God?”

When Wei Yan-ho suddenly fell in front of her, Jin Ye-ran startled and opened his eyes a lot.

“You were up there?”

“…yes.”

“Why?”

Wei Yan-ho expressed frustration.

“Are you crazy?”

“Why do you say that? Suddenly?”

“Do you know how much money you’ve spent so far?” “That ointment and medicine were bought with Miss Jin’s money, right?”

“Are you upset about that?”

Jin Ye-ran looked quietly at Wei Yan-ho and smiled.

Upon receiving that look, Wei Yan-ho felt somewhat diminished and said outraged.

“If you want to continue taking care of patients, reduce your expenses. How many days do you think you’ll put up with giving it all like that?”

“You’re right. But if I keep doing constant rounds, won’t the need for medication decrease? People here urgently need medication because they haven’t been able to receive treatment for too long.”

“Grr.”

Wei Yan-ho ended up shaking his head.

It was a strange experience that seeing someone so cute and kind could be frustrating.

“Why are you trying to live sacrificing yourself like that?”

“Sacrify?”

“Yes.”

Jin Ye-ran smiled brilliantly.

“It’s strange that you call sacrifice what I do because I like it. I never thought I was sacrificing anything.”

“Isn’t that a sacrifice?”

“I just like to see people get better and smile brilliantly.”

“The sick get better even when they are charged money.”

“Those people can go to other doctors, but there are too many people in the world who can’t get treatment for lack of money.”

Wei Yan-ho looked at Jin Ye-ran with an unusually severe face and said.

“You cannot change the world for yourself.”

“I know.”

Jin Ye-ran also looked at Wei Yan-ho with firm eyes.

“I didn’t start this with the great idea of changing the world. I started this because I didn’t want to turn my back on the only patient in front of me.”

“Grr.”

Wei Yan-ho let a deep sigh escape.

“Even so, you could at least receive minimal treatment fees.”

“When you run a doctor’s office…”

Jin Ye-ran began to explain in a soft voice.

“There are people who endure and endure because they are in a lot of pain, and then they come to the doctor when they can no longer. As a doctor, could you just stay away from those people?”

“Mmm…”

“I couldn’t do it. So, when I attended them, eventually the word got out and people came back together. Even those who used to pay for treatment asked me why I charged them. In the end, if you thought about treating a single person for free, you couldn’t charge for the treatment.”

Wei Yan-ho scratched his neck vigorously.

“Even so, there is no need for Miss Jin to take that path.”

“I’m not taking that road on purpose. I’m becoming one of the people who walk it. I don’t start with a great sense of mission.

Jin Ye-ran smiled brilliantly.

“I just do it because I like it, because I like it.”

Wei Yan-ho looked at Jin Ye-ran’s brilliant smile and let a deep sigh escape.

Whatever he said, it would be useless. People with faces like that always follow their own path.

“I don’t understand, I don’t understand.”

Wei Yan-ho pulled something out of his chest and spread it to Jin Ye-ran.

“…what is this?”

Jin Ye-ran’s eyes wavered.

“Seeing you keep selling it, it doesn’t seem that important, but I still feel uncomfortable about it, so I brought it for now.”

A white jade necklace.

Seeing her mother’s memory, a tear burst from Jin Ye-ran’s eyes.

“Now promise me.”

“Excuse me?”

“I found this and I gave it back to you, so don’t sell it anymore, even if you need money urgently.”

“…the last time too, perhaps?”

“Just promise me.”

Jin Ye-ran nodded and took the white jade necklace Wei Yan-ho offered him.

“I promise.”

“Tsk.”

Wei Yan-ho lowered his hand and looked silently at Jin Ye-ran.

An incomprehensible woman.

– Well, then I’ll go.

“Where are you going?”

“I’ve finished my business here, so I should go. I can’t live here forever.”

“Didn’t you stay at the Sacred Hand Hall?”

“I’d like to, but…”

“Wei Yan-ho sighed. He could not explain all matters concerning his master one by one.

“Well, I can’t stay long in one place. If fate requires it, we’ll meet again one day.

When Wei Yan-ho gestured with his hand, Jin Ye-ran also greeted him, confused. Wei Yan-ho turned around without delay and walked away.

Jin Ye-ran, who could not recover from the sudden situation, shouted.

“Young Master Wei Yan-ho!”

Wei Yan-ho turned his head.

“Thank you very much!”

In the distance, we saw Wei Yan-ho waving his hand. Jin Ye-ran watched him silently as he got lost in the distance and she murmured quietly.

“Really, thank you very much.”

A gentle breeze blew and stroked her hair.
