The two of them were delayed by these trivial matters for a while, and when they arrived at the hospital, it was already ten minutes later than the agreed time.
In the office on the first floor, Reiner met the legendary Uncle Phyllis.
He is short in stature, wearing a white robe, with only a faded gold edge on the cuffs. Phyllis has gray hair and looks a little haggard. It must be that as a mage, living in this small town is not an easy task.
"Fina, you have grown a lot taller."
The last time Phyllis saw Fina was last summer vacation. When he went out and passed near Prest, he had a meal with Fina from Crescent College.
Since entering school, Fina has almost never returned home normally. Even during the summer vacation, she has spent her time in school. With the scholarship, she has completed most of her studies and can be said to be quite independent.
Perhaps only by dedicating herself to study in this way could she leave this disgusting hometown and leave this quagmire that made her sink deeper and deeper.
"Hello, Uncle Phyllis, this is the principal of Crescent College."
Fina showed a rare soft expression, and then introduced Reiner to the doctor.
"Hello, I am Rainer Ingle. I heard about you from Fina. It has been really hard these years."
Reiner shook hands with Phyllis and could feel that although the doctor was short, he had a strong body and strong hands.
"I'm really in trouble for you this time, Mr. Ingle."
I don’t know whether it was because he was in the remote town of Sur, or because he specialized in different factions, but Phyllis didn’t seem to have heard of Reiner’s name. He greeted the two of them and sat back at his desk. Find a few documents and spread them out on the table.
"Fina, this is your father's condition report."
Fina and Reiner walked over and looked at the descriptions on the documents.
Dr. Phyllis's handwriting is very regular, unlike some doctors' scrawled handwriting that only he can understand. It contains Fina's father's physical examination report, some symptoms research, and the condition of the last few weeks.
Reiner didn't know the state of medical development in this world, but judging from the reports, at least a systematic medical treatment system had been formed here instead of the ancient and primitive dancing master.
It can be seen from the pathology report that Fina's father is very weak and has various degrees of failure or disease in many internal organs. This is a serious condition that cannot be repaired by surgery or magic.
"Unfortunately, I don't know why Mr. Nabistin developed this disease. He has hardly appeared in the town in the past few years. This time, it was because a few naughty children ventured to the tower that he discovered that he had collapsed. Him on the ground.”
Phyllis shrugged and said that this time it can only be said that he was very lucky. Fina's father was found in a coma for only half a day, but at the same time, his physical condition was also completely exposed.
"Honestly, even when I was in school, I had never seen such a case. Normally, his physical illness would be enough to kill him three times, but Mr. Nabistin still persisted, but Still, I don’t think he has much time left.”
After hearing Felice's narration, Fina was stunned, as if she felt a little unbelievable about the result.
Then, many thoughts came to her mind.
She originally thought that her father fell ill because of overwork and lifestyle problems, but now it seems that Fina's father seems to be suffering from some special disease.
"What kind of disease is this?"
Fina carefully read her father's pathology report again. The symptoms listed above seemed to be just complications, and there was no indication of the cause.
"I'm sorry, I don't know. Maybe a larger hospital or a higher-ranking necromancer than me can diagnose it, but there's nothing I can do."
Phyllis sighed and said that for a doctor, it is the most uncomfortable thing to see a patient in pain and that he can do nothing. With a solemn expression, he took out a pipe from his robe and subconsciously wanted to light the tobacco in it, but after looking at Felice Na glanced at it and put it down again.
"I later investigated the area around your home and found no cause that could cause your father to have this disease. Then I wrote to my teacher to inquire. He had never seen such a disease. I gave your father's I compiled the information and sent it to Rainbow Tower, hoping to attract attention."
It can be seen that Phyllis really tried his best to save Fina's father, but the reality is cruel.
"Your father and I have known each other for so many years, and he has always been the kind of person who keeps everything in his heart. I am afraid that he had such symptoms a few years ago, but did not choose to treat it... .. well... ... "
Sighing again, Phyllis shook her head and said no more.
Fina was a little absent-minded. These words meant that at the current stage, her father was almost terminally ill and was half-foot in the coffin.
Although she had always disliked her father, and even resented the father who brought her to Sur Town, at this time, Fina could no longer blame the old man.
"My father, how long does he... have?"
Finally, Fina asked this question.
Phyllis picked up the pipe again, paused, and then spoke.
"That's it for this week."
Then, Phyllis stood up, walked to the window, quietly lit the homemade tobacco leaves in the pipe, took a deep breath, and blew out a gray smoke ring.
"You'd better spend more time with him."
Hearing Felice's words, even Fina's eyes widened. All the past events came to mind. Fina always felt that she should hate her father, but at this time, she only felt sad in her heart.
Reiner didn't expect things to turn out like this. He picked up the medical certificate on the table and looked at it. Fina's father's body was indeed riddled with holes. He didn't understand medicine, but he could see that in the magic test Below, Fina's father had tumors in many of his internal organs.
Could this be a tumor? Does Fina's father have cancer
He couldn't be sure, but Reiner knew that if this was really cancer, then Fina's father might not have much time left, because judging from the test results, such tumors had spread to all organs, even on the earth. Medical technology, which has conducted many studies on cancer, is powerless.
The medical treatment in this world is mainly based on drugs, combined with certain surgical operations. Faced with this disease for which the cause cannot be found, there is really no way. Even if Reiner can conclude that it is cancer, he cannot find a way to save Fina's father. .
Outside the window, the sun is shining brightly.
But in the hospital, it was cloudy.
