episode 38: life lessons to be learned

Merlyn ran towards the door and then started to open the door quite hard

BRAKK...

"!" The little man looked at her quickly.

"You can go inside." Merlyn said with an urgent expression.

"?!"

Without answering a word, the little man immediately ran into the room and saw something he could never have imagined.

The man suddenly stopped his steps when he looked at the mother in a condition that had been split stomach.

"What are you guys doing?!" He stared blankly at his mother.

Su Luxie turned her head and then looked at Merlyn who was closing the door again.

"Merlyn, prepare everything you need." Pinta Su Luxie on Merlyn.

"All right, miss." Answer Merlyn.

"?!"The little man was still staring with his blank look.

"What are you guys going to do?! You said you were going to heal my mother, but you guys... You split my mother's stomach?! This is a criminal act!"His screech with his body shook violently.

"!"

"!"

Su Luxie sighed "There is no time to ask! You and we want healing from your mother, so work together" Su Luxie said trying to be as patient as possible to explain all that to the little man.

"Merlyn, get everything ready." Su Luxie then told Merlyn to take care of all the needs to do a blood transfusion.

"But..." The little man still lowered his head with a heart that still did not believe the two strangers in front of him.

Su Luxie quite understood the feelings of a child as small as herself. He tries to stay patient.

"I know you won't believe us. But, please cooperate with us, ok?" His word.

"!"The little man was stunned when he saw the sweet smile, Su Luxie, for him.

He began to nod and follow Merlyn, to perform a blood transfusion. Just like what Su Luxie had said, the woman had lost a lot of blood.

Merlyn swiftly performed all the techniques that Su Luxie had taught her. He pricked the little man's index finger using a small needle, so the little man grimaced in pain.

"It hurts, right? Sorry yeah. It'll be over soon." Merlyn's whisper looked at the little man's finger.

"!" The little man was stunned but looked down again with a resigned look.

"Should I trust them? They even cut my mother's stomach! What kind of treatment needs to split the stomach of a patient?!"

"But... They don't even look like they're going to hurt my mom? They look like they're looking after my mom." The small man's mind looked at Su Luxie who was still preoccupied with the condition of the woman.

"!"

"Merlyn, what's the golong?" Ask Su Luxie.

Merlyn turned her head after looking at the piece of paper in her hand "O, miss." Answer Su Luxie.

"!"

They started preparing all the best for the surgery today. The operation went on for quite a while. There was a lot at stake in the operation.

Su Luxie completely admitted that this was the most difficult operation she had ever done. The reason, because of the limited tools, the condition of the patient's body that is not possible and the lack of drug supplements found in the 22nd century.

Although the magic medicine he made would be able to help the current state, but making the medicine took quite a long time. Meanwhile, the mother of the little man should immediately get further treatment.

Su Luxie could not close her eyes about the matter so urgently. He was desperate to perform the operation even without adequate tools.

2 Hours have gone...

Now, Su Luxie, Merlyn and the little man were standing at the bedside. They set their eyes on the woman, who was still unconscious.

The operation went quite smoothly, although it had experienced a critical condition. But thanks to God and from the hard work of Su Luxie and Merlyn, things went very well. Critical conditions can be bypassed and return to normal.

"The swelling of my mother's stomach is gone, is that why you split my mother's stomach?" Asked the little man looking at Su Luxie with a puzzled expression.

Su Luxie turned her head "Lessly more like that." The answer.

"Has my mother healed? he won't be sick anymore, will he?" Asked the little man still with an always stern look.

Su Luxie shook her head "He is still in recovery condition. You should always take care of him, and make sure he doesn't do any activity, okay?" Su Luxie.

"...hm! Okay, I'll take your advice." The little man replied with a smile that was widening as ever.

Su Luxie and Merlyn glanced at each other and then showed their sweet smiles.

"When you wait for your mother's recovery, what if you just work at my place? There's a place my business is operating near here, you can apply there." Said Su Luxie by patting the little man's shoulder.

"?" The little man looked at her quickly.

"Be, really? Can I apply at your place of business?" Asked the little man with an incredulous look.

"Sure! Come to Casa's library and propose there. I can guarantee you'll be accepted there as the custodian of the library." Answer Su Luxie.

"!"

Hearing the reply from Su Luxie, the little man glared back. He looked at Su Luxie from top to bottom.

"Casa library?! I, is that a huge new library? So... You're the owner?" Said the little man almost squealing because he did not expect that the owner of the library he so desperately craved, was in front of him at that time.

"Yes.that's how. You can come there whenever you want." Su Luxie replied laughing awkwardly as she looked at the spirited face of the little man.

"thank you. I will never forget all this help. My mom and I are so grateful to have met such a nice person, like Miss." His voice looked down like boiled shrimp.

Su Luxie was filled with words from the little man, she smiled and then touched the little man's hair.

"Live well, take care of your mother and yourself. After getting the job and receiving the first paycheck, use it better." Su Luxie's advice showed her such a friendly smile.

"Sure!"

That's how it happened that day. There were so many life lessons that Su Luxie had taken. With that, his eyes opened again. Age is just a number, young does not guarantee that he cannot do something exactly done by an adult.

The little man's life story had opened one more belief in Su Luxie's heart. He is 16 years old, but he can conquer anything at his current age. There was no more burden in his heart, to do all things without seeing his current age. He was sure that he could, so he had to do just that!
