Chapter 335 The Island Doctor

“That area is international waters, pirates are rampant year–round.”

He was startled. “Pirates?”

“Yes, but their forces are scattered and disorganized. They’re just a nuisance. The coast guard doesn’t bother dealing with them.”

His gaze darkened. “Investigate!”

He didn’t know that this investigation would last a full

year.

One year later.

An unnamed island, not recorded on any map.

Simple wooden huts stood by the beach. Women were busy drying fish and mending nets, waiting for the men’s boats to return.

When a boat approached, the women and children cheered and gathered around, only to see the men carrying several injured people off the boat.

“Quick, send them to the doctor!”

“Stone was shot! Those damn people shot him!”

“Dr. Tatiana is at the treehouse!”

They scrambled to carry the man over.

“Dr. Tatiana! Quick, save him!”

Tatiana, who was grinding herbs, heard the commotion, immediately stood up, and walked out. When she saw the injured man, her gaze tightened. “Put him here! Gently!”

She quickly grabbed the first–aid kit, checked the injury, and immediately began treatment.

The crowd consciously stepped back, afraid of disturbing Dr. Tatiana and causing their companion’s death.

The man’s wife’s eyes were red from crying, her heart in her throat, constantly looking into the wooden hut. The women next to her comforted her. “It’s okay, Dr. Tatiana is amazing. She can definitely save Stone.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Dr. Tatiana has saved many of us. She can definitely do it this time,

Someone started singing, praying for the sea god’s blessing. This was their local belief.

Tatiana removed the bullet, sutured the wound, and applied a bandage. Her movements were fluid, comparable to those of a professional doctor.

After doing all this, she wiped the sweat that was about to drip from her forehead and let out a long breath.

Hearing the singing outside, she smiled, walked out, and met their expectant gazes. She nodded. “He’s fine. He just needs to get through tonight. Leave someone to watch him; you don’t need to worry about the rest.”

The language she spoke was very clumsy and somewhat halting. After all, the local dialect was extremely awkward. She had studied for a year and still couldn’t communicate fluently, only managing to barely understand.

The crowd wept with joy, especially Stone’s wife, who rushed up and hugged her tightly, spouting words of gratitude.

Before long, her house was once again stuffed with food.

There was fresh fruit, small dried fish, and even some items from the outside world–small trinkets. It was all the islanders‘ way of thanking her.

She had refused many times but could not turn away their kindness.

She could only do her best to help treat their illnesses.

In this short year, she had been forced from a complete amateur into a makeshift doctor. After all, practice makes perfect.

A boy wearing only small shorts, tanned completely dark, ran over, shouting happily, “Dr. Tatiana, you’re so amazing! You saved Stone! Marie is so happy!”

“Saul, you snuck over again?”

“Hehe, I came to bring you fruit! My brother told me to bring it!”

Saying this, he took out the cloth bag tucked at his waist and poured a pile of fruit onto the ground. They were all the kind of good fruit that was extremely hard to pick.

Tatiana, however, looked embarrassed. “I don’t want it. Take it back to your

She couldn’t help but press her brow. “Tell your brother not to send things over anymore, or I won’t pay

attention to him in the future.”

“Why? Does Dr. Tatiana not like my brother? Many girls on the island like my brother! My brother is the future captain!”

“…I am much older than your brother. In my eyes, you are all just children.”

The people here, due to year–round exposure to the elements and labor, all matured early and looked older. They could marry and have children at seventeen or eighteen.

And she was just an outsider, kindly rescued from the sea by the boat crew, luckily getting her life back.

The people here had shown her kindness, saving her and giving her a place to stay.
