He thought Luca came here to check her wound and change the dressing, but he did not expect her to
come to remove the stitches. That was why he did not prepare for it.
“Besides that, my next research project has been confirmed," said Luca as she swayed her hand. “Can
you help me remove the stitches?"
“I''ve asked the intern to bring the suture removal kit in here." The moment Johann finished his
sentence, the intern brought the suture removal kit in and said, “Dr. Park, I''ve brought it here."
“Thanks." Johann opened the package and took the sterilized cotton ball out. He cleaned the stitches
on the wound.

He did it gently. Even though the wound looked like it had healed, he was afraid that he would hurt
Luca.
The intern saw Luca and doubted if he had remembered the date when Luca got injured wrongly.
However, the day Luca got injured was also the day Mr. and Mrs. Norman got into the hospital. It took
everyone in the hospital by storm. He remembered it correctly.
The intern shot a nce at Luca''s palm.
Johann picked up the stitch scissors and said calmly, “There''s no need to look at it. The wound is
healed."
"Oh," the intern replied stiffly. He saw that the wound was healed, indeed. The wound healed
outstandingly fast!
Johann was quick. After he removed the stitches from Luca''s wound, he put on a bandage on Luca''s
wound to prevent the holes left by the stitches from being infected.
“You may remove the bandage tomorrow," said Johann.
“Got it." Luca nodded. She took her medical card out and handed it to him.
“I''m not taking any consultation fees. It''s on me." Johann shook his head. It was just some chump
change, and he could not be bothered to take it.
“Thank you." Luca did not insist on paying.
Johann pointed at the fruits in the bag and asked, “Are they for me?"
“No, I have to go upstairs to visit Mr. and Mrs. Norman, as well as Aunt Wanda." Luca was a little
embarrassed. She did not expect Johann to ask her something like that.
However, she knew Johann was just trying to lighten the atmosphere by asking that.
"They''re all from Luke''s side... Dr. Craw, I''d love to have some fruits too." Johann blinked his eyes
yfully and chatted with her.
He had a feeling that Luca would be able to help him more in the future with her capability.
Johann thought what Luca had learned on the Ind of Despair could be of great help to the patients in
the future.
The intern could no longer stand Johann teasing Luca and said, "Dr. Park, the nurses and patients''
family members are all fighting to give you fruits as gifts. Why don''t you get them from them?"
"Shut up." Johann rolled his eyes at him. The intern was getting bolder each day.
The intern rubbed his nose after getting scolded. He immediately replied, "Dr. Park, I''m going back to
read through the medical records if there''s nothing else."
After that, he quickly got out of Johann''s office like a rabbit running away after it almost got caught.
Luca smiled.
Johann teased her when he saw her smiling, "Dr. Craw, feel free toe to the hospital to work when
you''re bored of your job one day. You''re always wee here."
Luca was startled for a moment. "Dr. Park, are you trying to poach an employee?"
Johann exined, "Well, you''re a talent that''s hard toe by."
"I know you''re talking about your work. But I''m just an ordinary pharmaceutical scientist. Perhaps I
know more than the others, but I''m just an ordinary person." Luca rejected him calmly.
Luca had never thought of working in the hospital.
When she could be herself again one day, she was not sure if she would get back to architectural
design or continue to be a pharmaceutical scientist.
Still, it was unlikely that she would work in the hospital.
Luca did not like the hospital.
"Oh yes, Dr. Park, my. No, how''s Aunt Wanda doing now?" She would like to know Wanda''s current
condition.
"Ah, I was just about to talk to you about this. The response of the patient''s body to the chemotherapy
agents seems to be more serious than I thought. But she''s fortunate enough to have the herbal
medicine you prescribed for her. It has helped to reduce most of the symptoms of her body rejecting
the medicine at the moment. But we''re only able to find out how your medicine works when she
finishes a course of treatment," replied Johann.
"Okay. I hope the medicine can reduce Aunt Wanda''s pain," Luca uttered slowly.
"If the medicine has a great effect on her, I''d like you to promote the medicine to others. It can help
many patients." Johann gave her a sincere look.
"Let''s discuss thister. It''s herbal medicine. The dosage of the medicine isn''t the same for everyone. I
haven''te up with a standard dosage yet. Besides, if clinical trials are performed for the medicine,
I''m afraid we won''t be able to find out the right dosage for everyone within a day or two even if there
are volunteers," said Luca.
The standard dosage for everyone was in Shanks'' head, but he did not teach Luca that.
They seldom used the medicine. That was why Shanks only mentioned the recipe when he taught her
how to make it.
However, it reminded Luca of her foster dad when he mentioned chemotherapy. Her foster dad was in
pain back then. Hence, Luca kept the recipe of the medicine in mind.
That was why she was able to help Wanda.
"That''s true." Johann nodded as he agreed with her. "If you need any volunteers, there are millions of
volunteers for you to choose from in the hospital. Think about it."
“Dr. Park, I should head upstairs.” Luca carried the bag of fruits and rose to her feet.
“Sure.” Johann did not make her stay. He only hoped that Luca could consider what he mentioned to
her.
He was doing it for the patients'' sake.
Even though he had no idea who taught Luca these, the recipe of the medicine was like something that
had been drowned out by history though it existed a hundred or even a thousand years ago. Her
medicine had a miraculous effect in an era marked by the rapid adoption of new technologies.
Johann had looked into the recipe Luca sent to him before. Most of the herbs were to improve health.
There were a few drug recipes that could cure dizziness and vomiting, but the herbs weremon and
could be found everywhere. He wondered why the herbs could work miraculously when they were
mixed.
At least it worked on Wanda.
Wanda, who had just received chemotherapy once, no longer felt dizzy and nauseous after she took
the herbal medicine. Her appetite wasing back too.
If it were not for the nurses in the hospital who prepared the medicine for the patients, Johann would
have doubted if Luca added anything to the medicine.
However, every step was done in the hospital when they prepared the medicine. Luca had never
intervened with it.
Johann was secretly amazed.
He gave Luke a call.
The phone rang once and the call was rejected.
Then, Luke sent him a message: [Meeting. What''s the matter?]
“That saves him the trouble.” Johann understood what Luke meant. He was in a meeting, and it was
inconvenient for him to answer the call.
He sent Luke a long message. It was briefly about Luca''s medicine. In order to let more patients benefit
from it, the medicine had to be FDA-approved. He wanted her to continue to work on the medicine so
that the medicine could go through the procedures and beunched in the market.
[It''s up to her.] Luke replied to his message.
Johann let out a tsk sound.
It was mostly the wife who obeyed the husband, but things seemed to be different for Luke and Luca.
In their rtionship, it was more like the husband submitting to his wife.
Luca would have agreed to it if she was willing to work on it.
Johann could sense her hesitation. That was why he contacted Luke
