Chapter 64: Lifting the Curse (2)
“Doctor Gotberg!”
It was a booming voice, like someone who had boiled and eaten a train whistle.
Hugo, drenched in sweat, looked quite desperate—and it wasn’t hard to guess why.
‘So the child he’s holding is his daughter.’
When I’d reviewed Hugo’s medical records, I saw that all the healing logs from the Imperial Clinic were for his daughter.
I’d seen families ruined by medical bills before, but I hadn’t expected to see it in this world, too.
Hugo’s appearance was so ragged you wouldn’t believe he used to work as a healer at the Imperial Clinic.
I grinned and waved at him.
“I get that you’re in a hurry, but I’ve got a line of patients here. You’ll have to wait your turn.”
“T-The line, you mean?”
Hugo sighed as he looked at the long queue, but quietly moved to the end of it.
Maybe it was because he hadn’t become a black magician yet—he was more docile than I’d expected.
