Chapter 171 The Best Doctor
"About a year and a half has passed since then, and I've gradually gotten used to Nairn chattering in my ear, and I no longer stop her from entering my lab.
Because I don't like dealing with people, I don't have any medical assistants, and she occasionally helps me.
She was not careful at all and often got into trouble, so I often scolded her. So at that time, I was thinking that if I were to change a medical assistant in the future, I must find a careful one.
But after she left, I never found an assistant more suitable than her."
"The more time I spent with Nairn, the more strange she seemed to me.
Because she would disappear for two days every once in a while, and when she came back she would look very haggard, and the blue veins on her arms would become heavier.
Although I couldn't see the needle marks, I knew clearly that they were the vein characteristics that only appear after repeated blood draws and injections."
When Jiang Luan said this, he put his hands in his pockets again. No need to guess, he was definitely stroking the small box.
"But I was so dull that I didn't take it seriously and didn't have the energy to get to the bottom of it.
Because I was only fourteen years old at that time, I solved a difficult problem in the medical field and became famous. The top mentor of Charité Medical School found my uncle and hoped that I could study for a doctorate directly under him.
It's Germany's top medical school, the dream school for medical students all over the world. I agreed without a second thought."
"The night before I left for school, I went to say goodbye to Nairn.
At that time, I was busy with my research and hadn't seen her for more than half a month.
So when I saw her haggard face and thinner body when she opened the door, I didn't dare to recognize her at first.
I asked her, "What's wrong with you?"
She shook her head and smiled at me as usual, "Nothing, I just had a bad flu recently and haven't recovered yet."
I had no doubts about it, because she had always been as strong as a calf and full of life, so I never thought that that would be the last time I would see her.
"That night, I stood in her little room and told her about my great research plan with great confidence.
"I want to be the best pharmacist and develop an impossible medicine!"
Then I asked her, "What is your wish?"
She pulled her pale, cracked lips and laughed at me, "My wish is to make you the best pharmacist!"
I was a little angry at the time. I felt she was playing a trick on me, so I angrily complained to her: "This is my wish, how can it be considered your wish?"
She shook her head and smiled and said, "None of that matters. As long as you are happy, your wish is my wish."
Lu Qian's heart skipped a beat. Isn't this similar to what she just said?
Fate is so strange. Two people who are completely different can see each other's shadow everywhere.
"Before she left, she asked me if she could kiss her.
At that time, I was already taller than her. She looked up at me with bright eyes, and there was a faint circle of red under her freckles, like a little sika deer.
I was so embarrassed that my heart started pounding. To cover up my embarrassment, I pretended to be angry and scolded her: "How can a girl like you make such a request? Don't do it again."
She put on her usual joking expression, pouted, and said that I was so young, but at heart I was a conservative old thing.
Jiang Luan's voice was filled with tears as he continued in a muffled voice.
"If I knew that was the last time we would see each other, I would have held her in my arms without hesitation and kissed her with all my strength."
Jiang Luan squinted his eyes, took out the small box from his pocket, opened it solemnly, and rubbed his slender fingers back and forth on the brand new glass.
"I had a hard time at Charité, and whenever I felt lonely, I would look at her picture.
I kept telling myself that as soon as I finished my research, I would be able to go back and see her.”
“But when I returned to the Hoffmans’ house four months later, everything had changed.
The little house I was familiar with was razed to the ground. I asked all the servants, but no one knew a German girl named 'Nairn'.
If I hadn't still held this little box in my hand, I would have thought all this was just a dream."
"I searched for her like crazy, even threatening to kill myself to the Hoffman family.
They were also afraid that I would really die like this, after all, my potential has not yet been fully developed.
By then, I had already used my research results to become the most senior person in the Hoffman family besides the head of the family, and almost no one dared to disobey me.
At this point, Jiang Luan sneered and shook his head helplessly.
"But it was too late. It was not until she died that I, being so slow-witted, learned for the first time the truth behind her.
Her name is not 'Nen' at all, Neun is just Neun, blood subject number nine.
As a result of long-term blood research and drug experiments, she developed acquired leukemia and severe liver and kidney failure.
After I left, her health deteriorated drastically, and within two months, she died of complications.”
Lu Qian suddenly remembered that when Cheng Yi was unconscious, Jiang Luan had an emotional argument with Sui Tang and refused to conduct blood experiments on her.
Her heart ached. It turned out that Jiang Luan’s lover died from blood research?
"I have completely forgotten how I got through that period. I only remember that her shadow would always appear in front of my eyes and her words would always ring in my ears.
She told me that she had never seen the sea, and if she died one day, she hoped to die in a place with the sea.
She also told me that she liked children and that if she could get out of Hoffman in the future, she would open an orphanage.
She also said that she loved watching me do experiments the most and wanted to do so for the rest of her life..."
When Jiang Luan finished speaking, he buried his face deeply between his knees, and his tall and thin body curled up into a ball. He kept shaking and whimpering.
The sunlight slowly climbed up along the sky, generously shining on the man. At this moment, he looked like a broken angel.
The tears in Lu Qian's eyes could no longer be contained, and they dripped down the smooth curves of her face.
The bitterness in her heart was about to evaporate into the air, making the environment bitter.
Jiang Luan raised his head sullenly and continued, "Afterwards, I left and never returned to the Hoffman family. Before leaving, I negotiated with my uncle that all my research results for the next year would belong to the Hoffman family, on the condition that all the 'experimental subjects' still imprisoned in the family be released.
I didn't expect that my uncle agreed.
So I kept my promise and stayed at Charité Medical School, working on my research day and night, and I considered what I was doing to make up for her.
I missed so much, so I decided to fulfill her wish no matter what. I want to travel all the paths she wants to take, and I want to live with her.
I went to see the sea, to take care of children in an orphanage, and put her in my pocket so that she could always accompany me while I was doing experiments.
Jiang Luan's eyes were red, and he looked at Lu Qian with a confused and aggrieved expression. "I often think over and over again in agony. If I had realized it earlier, or if my medical skills had become stronger earlier, would she not have died?
And I have tried so hard, but I still haven't become the best doctor. I can't even fulfill her last wish. I am such a loser."
When Lu Qian heard Jiang Luan's words, a numbing sensation like an electric shock spread from her tailbone to the top of her head. With a bitter sadness, the tears that had just flowed out immediately flowed out again.
She knew how persistent Jiang Luan was in medicine, but she didn't expect that his persistence was carried out on the shoulders of another person.
Lu Qian rubbed his eye sockets lightly and looked at Jiang Luan cautiously.
"But her wish isn't for you to become a top pharmacist, but to make you happy."
When Jiang Luan heard Lu Qian's words, his whole body stiffened and his eyelashes trembled uncontrollably.
"What's the meaning.
"Since you said that I have her shadow, then she probably thinks the same as me."
Lu Qian stood up, put his left arm around Jiang Luan's trembling thin shoulders, raised his right hand, gently covered his eyes, and leaned his face against his temples. He deliberately lowered his voice and said in a deep voice in German:
“Before I met you, I was Neun. After I met you, I became Nain.
In my short life, which I can see the end of, all my hopes are related to you. It is you who gave me dreams and wishes.
If I could be given such an opportunity, all the wishes I would make would be about you. As long as you are happy, I will be happy.
I never blame you, let alone resent you, because every moment I can be with you is what I deserve.
Don’t overwork yourself.”
Lu Qian took the hand that was covering Jiang Luan's eyes, looked into his eyes, and smiled gently.
"You will always be the best doctor in my heart."
