Surviving in Woman's world as a novel villain.



"How did this happen?"

Alex was rushing towards the ICU ward as he was thinking to himself. He was very confused and taken aback by the words he heard. In his mind, it was impossible to happen.

After all, How can Gloria have a code blue? Code blue is only used for the patient when they need urgent medical attention or they either have cardiac arrest aka heart attack or it's completely stopped.

This is very strange as in common words heart-stopping means the death of an individual, Which is why he could not understand how someone like Gloria who has a heroine status.

He could have accepted if there were protagonists present near her as it's more than likely it would happen because of the triggering of the protagonist's halo but knew it was impossible.

He himself took care of Jake personally, So he knew there was no way he could recover this quickly at all. Even his survival from the backlash of that artifact is nothing less of a miracle.

So only one protagonist was remaining, Nathan but even he should be in no condition to move, After he too had to deal with S-rank and on top of that he should have used the forbidden technique because of course, he will.

The protagonist is never able to take that level of disrespect even if in front of them is the current world's strongest-ranked powerhouse, They are likely to jump head-first into trouble.

'System, How much RP do I need to give to get one holy blessing use?' 

As he got closer to the ward, He asked the system in his mind, He thought has the best doctor one can ask for, There are also two top-ranked doctors in this hospital including him.

But he still did not want to take any chance, It's more than likely world will try to fix the messed up worldline after failing to solve it using Jake as a bait.

"Give me a report on what medicines she was given and their doses, Also do this test as soon as possible, Also put her under observation for a while."

As Alex entered the ICU ward, Those words fell on his ears, He quickly looked at Gloria and using his peak mortal-level skills, He was able to conclude that she is out of trouble.

Right now she is quite stable. Rather she was quite healthy from his first look inspection, Just like she was before in the morning he saw through the glass window.

[Ding! Host it's not recommended to do this as it will be too costly and not worth it, As it will need 90% of your current RP.

It's suggested that you wait for a few hours till midnight to rest at the counter.]

System voice rang in his mind and answered to him and gave its own suggestion.

'Okay then but just to be sure, Be prepared to buy life saving medicine on the moment's notice.'

Alex did not argue with the system as he understood that the big thing is saving someone's life and improving them to their peak condition, So it's reasonable for the price to be that high.

So he agreed to the system suggestion but still asked to prepare the life saving medicine from the system, Which though might not be able to cure Gloria but give him enough time to wait till midnight.

After that he just cure her without any worry at all, it's just the worry still lingering in his heart even after there was a solution, So he still fasted his speed.

"By the way, who is her attending doctor? Call and inform them about the situation, Ask them if they can come right now and take a look at her, I also need to consult with them."

Xin Yan was wearing her white doctor's coat and examining the reports of Gloria as she said to the nurse standing next to her, completely ignorant about the new presence in the ward.

All her attention was on her patient and the report in her hand, She rubbed the back tip of her pen in annoyance trying to figure out the cause of this sudden episode of this patient.

She was working in the ER like always. It's just that she decided to take a break and come upstairs to get her favourite milk tea, Because for some reason the downstairs canteen did not sell those.

When she was on the third floor ready to go to the canteen and get her tea she heard the call about the code blue, So even though it was not her duty but because she was close to the ward, She came and quickly ready operated on her.

After checking it turns out this patient did not have a cardiac arrest, But the heart was completely stopped for no reason, And then before she could do CPR and if that did not work then try the defibrillator to restart it, It started beating again as if nothing had happened.

It was Xin Yan's first time to encounter something like this. She performed a few basic quick checks on her but found the strange thing that there is nothing wrong with her at all. She was quite healthy, and So do her heart.

She suspected a liver problem or might even be a strange blood disease, So she asked to do the tests to make sure. She also thought about a kidney problem as there was an emergency operation of a tumour she heard of.

But to do that she needs to consult the appointment doctor of this patient but as it turns out they are not in the hospital right now, So that had to be put on hold.

"Hey, are you listening? I asked you to do this test as quickly as possible, "Do not stand there like a statue."

Xin Yan finally looked up from the reports when she did not receive any reply from the nurse standing near her, So in a little irritation she asked out loud to her.

Normally there are male nurses, But now seeing they are being harassed Hospital changed to female for the women's ward, IShe normally should have no problem with this change.

But it's just that they are all new recruits without any experience in this field, So she babysits this person, Which gets annoying a lot and quite quickly. 

"Are you listening? Answer me, What are you staring at!!!"

Even when asking about why she did not get an answer Xin Yan helplessly had to turn around and look at the new nurse beside her, She now asked in a stern voice as she did not have this attitude when handling the patients.

One should always be prepared to do things quickly and pay utmost attention when doctors are talking to them as if they didn't they might make a mistake that puts someone in between life and death trouble.

She was ready to be stern and hard as possible on this new nurse to teach her the basic ethics of this job but when she saw she was staring at the entrance without blinking it took her aback.

So in curiosity, she turned and looked towards the entrance and then froze in place. There was a blast in her mind that stopped all other useless functions like logical thinking and just kept looking at that fallen fairy standing in front of her.

"How was she?"

Alex looked into the two pairs of eyes staring at him and softly, like a rubbing smooth silky fur of the cat, asked them without hurry or worry in his voice.

He checks Gloria standing this far away thanks to his eyes of truth, So he was relaxed finding out there was nothing life-threatening condition about her, Which means he can wait for a few hours before eradicating that unknown problem once and for all.

"How is mom? Is everything okay?"

Xin Yan did not answer Alex, She just stared at Alex without blinking as if she did not hear anything Alex asked her.

Grace also comes into panic mode and hurriedly asks the lady in a white coat like boats do to the lighthouse on the dark new moon's night.

Then without waiting for the answer of Xin Yan's answer, She came to Gloria but did not dare to go near or touch her fearing she might do something that would harm her.

"You guys, why are you running off without me? I am the doctor you need here."

Liza too came after Grace and yelled at them in annoyance but that did not stop her from going to Gloria and quickly started inspecting her checking her condition, After she found there was nothing wrong with her, She did not stop her search but also started to look for the reasons.

"Well she looks fine, There is also nothing wrong with her liver nor does she have any blood disease, It might be her body just acting out? I need to test more to find the cause of it."

Liza didn't need to see reports to tell what was wrong with Gloria, She at first glance found out that her heart stopped beating but the reason for it was still unknown, Which was bothering even her.

"Argghh!!"

She wanted to go and ask Xin Yan about her findings but stopped and looked in shock and disbelief towards Gloria as she groaned and started moving her body little by little.
