Demon King – Chapter 637 – The Demon Lord Seeing a Doctor

Forward, backward, turning, spinning. With her left hand resting on the control panel, a certain loli was fiddling with her new vehicle, having the time of her life.

After all, she was the kind of person who could have fun to the extreme even with a supermarket shopping cart. Suddenly giving her a vehicle she could drive herself, it was not strange at all for her to get completely absorbed in it.

Eiya watched from the side and started to feel a little tempted to hop on and try it herself, but she was quickly called back by a single sentence from their parents saying that it was not a toy and not to mess around.

After folding the wheelchair and loading it into the car, the group headed toward the hospital. By the way, because she was afraid her sister might be scared, Eiya had proactively asked to come along this time. And while she was at it, she also needed to do a follow-up check herself anyway.

“Doctor… y-you… hello…”

The little Demon Lord looked extremely nervous, as if she were afraid the doctor in front of her would suddenly anesthetize her and cut her open. If no one were with her, she might have bolted on the spot.

Because everything had already been arranged ahead of time, there was no need to register or wait in line. The medical team had been waiting for a long time. And the friend who served as the team leader and whom Ei Yuan and Officer Li knew well was the one now sitting in front of Eiru handling the handover.

“Hahaha, don’t be nervous… I’m not going to eat you. We’re just doing some examinations, that’s all.”

The doctor had already heard about Eiru’s mental state from Officer Li, so he joked around, trying to ease her fear and tension.

“My surname is Su, Su Yuze. I’m a friend of your Uncle Li and your dad, you know? No need to be so nervous. You can call me Uncle Su or Uncle Yuze.”

“T-Then… U-Uncle Yuze?”

The Demon Lord glanced around. The doctors and nurses behind her who were organizing equipment only made her more nervous.

“I’ve more or less heard about your situation. Let’s go take some scans and do a comprehensive check. It won’t take long. You can wait outside with your dad, mom, and sister for the results.”

Hearing that, Eiru immediately hesitated. X-rays? Wouldn’t that expose her non-human identity in seconds? Even if she retracted everything into her body, her tail and wings could not be hidden under X-rays.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. Didn’t I just say it? We’ve already been informed about your situation. We know about your special traits. Everything today will be kept confidential, so rest assured.”

Although she did not remember exactly when the last time she saw a doctor was, Eiru still remembered the general process of a medical visit. But today’s process was clearly off. Not only was there no basic registration, this fully equipped yet obviously temporary comprehensive medical room gave off a strong feeling that it had been set up specifically for her.

“You’re sure… it’ll be kept secret?”

Her mind was too tangled from nerves to think straight, and the Demon Lord asked a rather silly question, making several doctors in the room laugh.

“We were specially invited by your Uncle Li to help out. We’ve all signed confidentiality agreements, you know? You can put a hundred hearts at ease.”

The little Demon Lord lay down on the equipment half-believing, half-doubting. Since everyone said so, she would trust them for now. As for the confidentiality agreements, she treated them as a joke to comfort herself. Anyway, if anything went wrong, she was perfectly capable of running away. Worst case, she would just hypnotize everyone on the spot.

Even though she was terrified to the extreme, her unexpected obedience did not surprise the doctors present. Officer Li had already talked to them beforehand. This kid would not be too difficult to deal with.

Believing in you was not hard. The hard part was getting her to come here in the first place. As long as she showed up, the rest would not be much trouble. Because she was just that naive and foolish of a child. As long as the goodwill expressed was sufficient, she would more or less place some trust in the other party.

Those were the words Officer Li had told them earlier. At the same time, he had also asked the doctors to be mindful of protecting the child’s naive and sensitive heart. He himself had temporarily put his work aside to come here today. Though thinking about it, this also seemed to be part of his job.

As for Yuki, Officer Li really could not ask him to come, so he did not tell him about Eiru seeing a doctor today. After all, her parents were here. He could not exactly say in front of them something like your cabbage has already been gnawed by my pig, from now on we’re in-laws, right?

After spending quite a bit of time running back and forth through many tests, and after telling the two girls to go outside and play for a bit while waiting for the results, Doctor Yuze called Eiru’s parents and Officer Li, who had been waiting outside, into the room.

“To be honest, this injury is absolutely impossible from a fall. This was clearly caused by beating.”

Completely different from his earlier gentle demeanor, Doctor Yuze’s face was now filled with seriousness and anger.

As a doctor, what he hated most was patients or their families lying about the condition or cause of injury. Putting aside trust issues, concealment and false reporting only increased the difficulty of his work and brought trouble to everyone.

“With us doctors, there is no such thing as family shame that must not be spoken of. Not leaking patient privacy is one of our professional duties. And you family members and friends should honestly tell us everything about the patient. That is what being responsible to all of you means. Don’t you even understand that?”

“Excessive strain all over the body. And these areas here were clearly struck hard with blunt objects. If this had been any later, or if she did not have the kind of powerful self-healing you described, she would have spent the rest of her life in a wheelchair, do you understand?”

After scolding them for quite a while and fully understanding the situation, the two girls outside were called back in. But the Demon Lord keenly noticed that one side of her dad’s face looked a bit red. It looked like a fist mark.

The little Demon Lord could not be bothered to pay attention to that anymore. And as the doctor spoke the words bone setting, her small face instantly turned deathly pale, bringing back some very unpleasant memories.

Back when she was first learning to fly, Eiru had fallen countless times. In her panic, her magic body protection often malfunctioned, frequently leaving her with various fractures and injuries all over her body.

Even though she fell from high altitudes, with magic protection, the injuries were never as severe as this beating. But she did not dare go to the hospital, so she could only follow online guides or books and fumble through resetting her own dislocated or fractured joints.

As a loli, the little Demon Lord was extremely afraid of pain. But she had no choice but to deal with it. Resetting her own bones came with piercing pain that left her with psychological trauma. Not to mention the later incident where her wings were unfortunately crushed and fractured.

Now that she heard she needed bone setting again, the Demon Lord immediately chickened out. She slowly backed away a few steps, preparing to run, but her little sister noticed and directly pinned her in place.

“No, sister. I know you’re scared, but this time you can’t run, okay? It’s really for your own good.”

Looking at her sister’s smile, Eiru swallowed hard. A few minutes later, miserable screams rang out inside the hospital room.
