The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

Chapter 84: Normal

We went to watch a movie, after that we went to a restaurant to eat lunch and before we knew it, it was past 3 PM.

I dropped Elena off at her house, went to ATM to take out some cash, and right now I am in the front of the hospital.

I need to know what's happening to me.

"I will have a full body checkup and confirm it"

The hospital was full, as always. If I stay in the line, I will have to wait till night.

"I can't waste my time waiting in line"

I gave extra money to the receptionist, and he let me in first as an emergency case, even though it was just a regular case.

That's how the world works. Everyone, everything will yield to money.

"Das Ryle, what can I do for you?" the doctor asked.

"I want you to perform a full body check up on me"

He stared at me for a while and said "Hmm, you look fine though"

"I am here for a full body checkup"

"Do you have some kind of problem? I can do the test according to that"

"I want you to perform a full body checkup"

"Are you on some kind of drug? You keep repeating the same thing again and again"

"I said, perform a full body check up on me"

"Do you know how much a full body checkup costs? Where are your parents?"

"Is this enough for a full body checkup?"

I threw a bag full of cash at him.

"You...how did you get this much money? Did you steal it from somewhere?! I will call the cops!--"

"I can give you more money, enough to make you a millionaire"

"You...who are you?!"

"Perform a full body check up on me, or else I am taking this money and go somewhere else"

"I understand! Please come with me"

It is laughable how his words changed after seeing the money. All adults are like this. Just show them money and they will lick your shoes.

"Please drink this and go inside the machine.

After drinking the syrup, I went inside the machine.

30 mins later~

"Your reports are back"

"Is there anything wrong with me?"

"I was expecting some kind of drug in your body but you weren't on any drug"

"What does my report say?"

"It's normal. Everything is normal. There is nothing wrong with your body"

"...."

He is saying the same thing. So what was that last night?!

"Your heart rate is unstable but there is nothing weird about it. Your heart is on the right side, right?"

"Yeah"

"Everything is good. You are perfectly fine"

"I see. Bye"

I opened the door and--

"Wait!"

"What is it?"

"Here, this is yours"

He handed me my bag.

"Why?"

"A full body checkup doesn't cost this much, you can have the rest of the money"

"But...I gave it to you, they are yours now"

"I didn't become a doctor to earn money. I want to help people. Take this and get out of here"

"I don't understand"

What a weird adult. I have never seen someone like him in my life.

"Just because your parents are rich doesn't mean you can spend all of their money"

"Shut up, doctor"

I closed the door and went out of the room.

He was a weird person. 'I didn't become a doctor to earn money. I want to help people' if that's true then...

"You have my respect, doctor"

And that money isn't my parents. There is no way I would use their money without their permission. I earned this money by making deals with some companies that are in the top 10 and gaining profit because of me.

"Even the full body checkup didn't help"

There is nothing wrong with me. I don't understand. If everything is alright then what was that last night? There has to be--

"Oh, I am sorry" an old man wearing a doctor coat said.

He looks the same age as my grandfather...why do I feel like I have seen him somewhere before?

"It's fine"

.

The old man entered the doctor's room, which Das was in earlier.

"Dr. Goodwin! Welcome back" the other doctor said.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. There was a high school kid here for a full body checkup"

"I see"

"I said full body checkups are expensive, so he threw me a bag full of cash"

"Kids these days have it easy"

"He was desperate for a full body checkup, but his reports were normal"

"Where are the reports? Let me see"

"Here. He was a strange kid" he handed Das's reports to him.

"Hmm?!" The doctor's eyes opened wide with shock.

"What's wrong, Dr. Goodwin?"

"Das...Ryle! Are you sure that was his name?"

"Yes. Do you know him by any chance?"

"When did he leave?!"

"He just left a minute ago. He was wearing a high school uniform"

"So that kid...I will be right back! Dispose of this report!"

"What's wrong Dr. Goodwin---"

The doctor rushed outside. He was running with his old body, he was out of breath, panting, but kept running.

The elevators were full, so he took the stairs.

"Dr. Goodwin! What's wrong?"

"What's wrong, doctor! You are out of breath"

"Are you okay, doctor?!"

All the staff members tried to stop him, but he paid no attention to them and rushed outside the hospital.

Das was at the gate of the hospital, waiting for the taxi.

"Das! Das Ryle! Wait...."

Dr. Goodwin was panting, words weren't coming out of his mouth.

"Wait...Das...Das...Ryle!"

He rushed to the gate, but Das sat in the taxi and went off.

"This is bad, Theodore. What should we do now? If your grandson--"

Cough~~ Cough~~

"If your grandson finds out the truth about himself...what should we do now, Theodore"

Cough~~

"He will also find out the truth about Gracie"

Cough~~

"I should inform Theodore...wait, what will I say to him? What if Das was only here for a normal body checkup?"

Cough~~ Cough~~

"Doctor! Are you okay, doctor?!"

"You shouldn't stay in sunlight, doctor!"

"I am fine"

"You are clearly not fine!"

He was dragged into the hospital by the staff members.
