Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

In the following days, the newly established medical clinic remained overcrowded.

[Higgwen used her superb medical skills to treat the prisoners who came to her for treatment, and all the difficult and complicated illnesses described by the patients were easily resolved in her hands.]

Within just a few days, the young nurse had earned the trust and respect of most of the prisoners. Almost all patients conscientiously and strictly followed her medical orders, daring not to disobey in the slightest.

However, there are always exceptions.

"I am healthy and do not need treatment!"

The elderly prisoner, nicknamed "Old Stone," struggled with all his might to break free from his companion who had dragged him to the infirmary for examination, and stubbornly staggered toward the door.

"Sir, you don't seem to be in good health, you need..."

"unnecessary!"

Before Siegwen could kindly offer her reminder, Old Stone, who had already reached the door, suddenly turned around, rudely interrupting her and revealing a fierce and menacing expression as he threatened her.

Mu Feng frowned, subconsciously taking a step forward to shield Xigewen, who was somewhat at a loss due to the sudden turn of events, behind him. His eyes were fixed on the old stone in front of him, revealing a warning in his gaze.

Old Stone made no further move. He snorted coldly, turned around with a disdainful expression, and slammed the door shut as he staggered away.

An awkward atmosphere immediately filled the infirmary.

Seeing this, Old Stone's companion hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, and then explained the reason to Mu Feng and Xigewen with a hint of helplessness.

"Old Stone" is a prisoner who has served time in Mero Petersburg longer than many people are old enough that no other prisoner in Mero Petersburg knows his real name.

The long prison sentence, the harsh environment, and the immense mental pressure caused Old Stone's health to deteriorate as he entered his twilight years.

However, no matter how much his body deteriorated, Old Stone always refused all examinations and treatments.

Recently, Old Stone's health has deteriorated rapidly, and he is almost at the end of his life. His companions heard that the newly arrived young doctor was highly skilled, so they forced Old Stone to come for a checkup without any explanation.

However, Old Stone's stubbornness exceeded their expectations. Even when he was so weak that walking became a problem, he still refused all forms of treatment.

After explaining the whole story of the visit, Old Stone's companion thanked him and hurriedly took his leave, and the infirmary returned to calm.

"Brother Mufeng, the person just now was clearly very ill, so why did they refuse my treatment?"

Higewen rested her chin on her hand, staring blankly in the direction Old Stone had left, and asked Mu Feng in confusion.

"do not know."

"Perhaps his illness is not just physical."

Mu Feng gently rubbed the head of the somewhat dejected Siegwen, offering words of comfort with a touch of helplessness.

"Brother Mufeng, are you saying he has something on his mind?"

"It may seem that way."

"What could it be...?"

Siegfried touched her lower lip with her finger and murmured to herself. A hint of confusion flashed in her beautiful ruby ​​eyes as she fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a long time, Siegwen slightly raised her head, her previously bewildered eyes regaining their brightness. Her voice was soft, yet it revealed a firm resolve:

"However, the patient's condition looks very critical, and we can't delay any longer."

"The teacher said that when we encounter patients who refuse treatment, we should take some special measures."

……

So, after Mu Feng sought the warden's help, and with the assistance of several guards at the Mello Petersburg, Siegwen conducted the long-awaited medical examination for Old Stone.

However, the results of the medical examination made Siegwen feel a deep sense of despair for the first time.

It was an incurable disease, one that even her teacher, the "witch," was helpless against, a disease that she could not cure despite using all the medical skills she had learned.

"Hahahahaha!"

"I told you, I don't need treatment!"

Old Stone, who was being held down on the hospital bed by his guards, laughed triumphantly in his hoarse voice, like a victorious rooster.

However, before Old Stone could finish gloating, his arrogant laughter turned into a violent cough.

Amidst a cough that seemed to choke him out of his chest, Old Stone spat out a mouthful of thick, black, foul blood, then collapsed limply onto the hospital bed, unconscious.

Since then, this arrogant old man, who refused to seek medical help, had no choice but to stay in the clinic, but he still refused to take any medication prescribed by Siegfried.

He lay on his hospital bed all day, staring blankly at the pale ceiling, silently counting down the days until his death.

No one knows what he's thinking, not even himself.

……

Night, Mello Petersburg, prison cell block

"Higgwen".

Mu Feng gently lifted Siegwen's drooping face, gazing tenderly at the little one's tired expression.

The little guy, who hadn't slept for two days and two nights, had slightly red eyes, his little ears drooped listlessly, and his little face was full of frustration.

"Brother Mufeng..."

Siegwen avoided Mu Feng's gaze, but her beautiful ruby ​​eyes betrayed a deep sense of disappointment.

Mu Feng gently rubbed Siegwen's little ears to soothe the little one, then looked directly into Siegwen's light red eyes and softly comforted her:

"Higgwen, a doctor's duty is to cure the diseases they can cure, isn't it?"

"The Healer"

"It can only cure illness, not fate."

Sigwen, nestled in Mu Feng's arms, looked up blankly. Several months ago, on that dark night, the question posed by the "Witch" teacher echoed in her mind like a thunderclap.

"No matter how advanced medicine becomes, there will always be diseases that medicine cannot cure."

"So, what is the significance of medicine?"

"The significance of medicine..."

Siegwen murmured softly, and a ray of light gradually appeared in her confused and tired eyes, like a ray of sunlight shining into a dark, stagnant pool.

In my mind, Old Stone was no longer just an image of someone lying lifelessly on the hospital bed like a wooden or clay sculpture, silently enduring the torment of illness.

From a casual glance, she noticed the old stone's gaze shifting seemingly unintentionally time and again, their eyes meeting and focusing on an inconspicuous date—

Dates for family visits.

"Hmm... I think... I think I understand."

The worry on Siegwen's face vanished instantly. The little girl snuggled into Mu Feng's arms and softly shared her joy and achievement with him.

"Thank you for reminding me, Brother Mufeng."

Mu Feng smiled with relief, lifted the somewhat tired Siegwen onto the soft bed, and carefully pulled the blankets up for her. Then, Mu Feng gently pinched the little one's chubby cheeks and whispered:

"Before saving patients, let's get a good night's sleep."

"Good night, my little angel."
