The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0

 

Chapter 57

 

Inside the hospital room were Professor Seong and Director Seo Eunhae.

 

“Yebichnna?”

 

As soon as Director Seo saw me, she jumped up and approached me.

 

Her face calling my name had clear tear stains. Her reddened, bloodshot eyes were filled with desperation.

 

“It’s been a while since I greeted you.”

 

Before I could even finish my greeting, the director pulled me into a tight embrace with one hand. Her shoulders were trembling.

 

“Thank you. Thank you so much for coming like this… Please, please wake up our son, our Seondonguk…”

 

A mother’s sincere tears soaked my shoulder.

 

“Director…”

 

A corner of my heart ached poignantly.

 

I resolved that I must succeed with my skill for the sake of the director and many hunters and their families.

 

I exhaled a trembling breath and approached the bedside. But that was the exact moment.

 

Beeeeeep!

 

A sharp mechanical sound broke the silence.

 

The wave pattern showing Seondonguk’s heart rate instantly flattened into a horizontal line. It was an emergency situation where vital signs were cut off.

 

“No! Seondonguk!”

 

Director Seo wailed and Professor Seong hurriedly pulled out a defibrillator. From outside came the sound of medical staff rushing in after hearing the emergency alarm.

 

“Uh, uh, right now a professional healer is treating him inside, so if you go in you’ll interfere, interfere. Don’t you trust me?”

 

There was a rattling sound at the door, but it seemed Ohyeongtaek was blocking it with his whole body.

 

There was no time.

 

“Then, I’ll try it right away.”

 

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

 

Though sweat formed on my palms, I concentrated all my nerves and drew up the magical power from the deepest place within me.

 

‘Please, please.’

 

^[Skill: ‘Wave of Revival’ Cast]^

 

The moment I placed my palm, filled with drawn-up magical power, over Seondonguk’s body, a dazzling radiance filled the hospital room.

 

It wasn’t just intense light. Like the vitality of new sprouts breaking through frozen earth in early spring, it was tenacious and warm light.

 

As the wave spread, a fresh woody fragrance filled the hospital room.

 

I hadn’t used a single drop of essential oil brought from the store, yet fragrance was spreading – this was my first time experiencing this.

 

‘Is this my real skill?’

 

As my magical power penetrated deep into Seondonguk’s paralyzed neural network and rotting magical circuits, light began to return to the blackened, dead circuits.

 

Like sweet rain soaking into drought-cracked rice fields, his dried-up vitality greedily devoured my magical power and began to writhe.

 

“Ugh…”

 

Sweat beaded on my forehead and an enormous amount of magical power drained out, enough to make my vision spin.

 

Mimi had said there was no limit to my magical power amount, but having large quantities drain out instantly seemed to be a separate matter.

 

Moreover, the amount of magical power that S-rank Seondonguk was absorbing was beyond imagination.

 

However, I couldn’t stop. Because as much magical power as I poured in, vitality returned to his blackened, deathly skin.

 

Please, please, please.

 

I prayed with my entire soul. It was at that moment when my sweat drops fell onto the back of my hand.

 

Thump.

 

A very small movement appeared on the monitor that had been showing a flat line.

 

Thump, thump!

 

The stopped heart began to beat weakly. Once the floodgate of life opened, it didn’t stop.

 

The more magical power I poured in, not only the monitor’s waves but other vital signs also shot up toward normal ranges.

 

“My goodness…”

 

Professor Seong covered his mouth while holding the defibrillator, and Director Seo collapsed to the floor, shedding tears of joy.

 

Sohee stood with her mouth agape, repeatedly saying ‘Crazy, this is impossible.’

 

‘Seondonguk, please wake up now.’

 

I prayed earnestly while listening to the sound of his heartbeat that had begun beating roughly.

 

How long did I wait? Seondonguk’s rough breathing gradually began to stabilize.

 

And miraculously, his eyelashes that had been tightly closed for 3 years trembled slightly.

 

“…”

 

Slowly, very slowly, Seondonguk’s eyes opened.

 

His unfocused eyelids blinked repeatedly, then finally his gaze fixed on me right in front of him.

 

I showed him a bright smile with my sweat-drenched face.

 

“Seondonguk, it’s been a while.”

 

Beep, beep, beep.

 

To not extinguish the spark of miracle I had ignited, the hospital room immediately became a battlefield.

 

From now on, it was the realm of real ‘treatment.’

 

S-rank healer Nara and magical poisoning specialist healer Professor Seong, and even hunter medical equipment expert Sohee. Three renowned experts rushed to Seondonguk.

 

“Sohee, activate the holy water injector! When the magical circuits come alive is the golden timing!”

 

At Professor Seong’s sharp order, Sohee quickly operated the machine.

 

Seongnyeo’s holy water flowed through Sohee’s specially manufactured machine into Seondonguk’s blood vessels.

 

Until the dead circuits regained the power to circulate on their own, Seongnyeo’s holy water would take on that role.

 

Following that, Nara closed her eyes and extended both hands.

 

Dazzling magical power poured out, breathing life into Seondonguk’s muscles and organs that had been paralyzed for 3 years.

 

Professor Seong used his ‘Pulse Reading’ skill to precisely locate Seondonguk’s magical circuits and guide Nara to exact healing points.

 

It was truly perfect collaboration. Watching that fierce yet sacred scene, I quietly stepped backward.

 

‘My job is finished now.’

 

Though I desperately wanted to greet him once he fully regained consciousness, the current me was an existence that shouldn’t be revealed to the world.

 

Leaving my regret behind, I silently opened the hospital room door and slipped out.

 

The hallway where the bustling medical staff had disappeared was now filled with silence.

 

Ohyeongtaek, who had been leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, straightened his posture upon spotting me. I just gave him a slight nod and passed by him.

 

“You’re really amazing, noona.”

 

He followed behind me, whispering quietly.

 

“You woke up Seondonguk hyung, right? The machines inside were screaming like crazy.”

 

Instead of answering, I just showed him a slight smile. Then Ohyeongtaek burst into cheerful laughter and came close to my side.

 

“What’s your real identity, noona? Are you SSS-rank or something? Enchanting, healing. What can’t you do? What’s your class? All-rounder?”

 

“…I just tried hard hoping I could be helpful.”

 

At my answer, Ohyeongtaek quietly stopped and stared intently at my face.

 

My face beaded with sweat from pouring out magical power, my disheveled hair.

 

After staring at my embarrassing appearance like someone entranced, he cheekily added a comment.

 

“It’s cheating to be kind and pretty on top of being so capable.”

 

“Huh? Ah…”

 

Flustered by the sudden compliment, I turned my gaze away. Then Ohyeongtaek chuckled and changed his question.

 

“But how do you know Seondonguk hyung?”

 

“We attended the Training Academy together briefly. He took care of me a lot back then. He’s truly someone I’m grateful to.”

 

“Ah, so that’s why you brought flower bouquets every week? For 3 whole years. He’s not just someone you’re grateful to, is he?”

 

Ohyeongtaek narrowed his eyes and subtly probed me. At his mischievous gaze, I gave an awkward smile and nodded goodbye.

 

“I’ll be going now!”

 

“Noona, let me take you there.”

 

Ohyeongtaek chased after me as I walked ahead. But as soon as we turned the corner at the end of the hallway, Ohyeongtaek’s footsteps stopped abruptly.

 

There stood Jinseong like a statue.

 

His cool gaze swept over the short distance between Ohyeongtaek and me.

 

“Jinseong hyung?”

 

Ohyeongtaek clicked his tongue and shrugged his shoulders.

 

“Ah damn, someone beat me to it.”

 

Senior approached me and draped his outer coat over my shoulders. The moment his body warmth touched me, my heart began pounding violently.

 

“Th-thank you.”

 

“Let’s go.”

 

From behind us, I could hear Ohyeongtaek’s voice shouting, ‘Noona, I’ll come visit the store later!’ but Senior tightened his grip on the hand wrapped around my shoulder and urged me forward.

 

As if he wouldn’t let anyone else take me away.
