However, even then, there was a mention that the technology was not developed by the research team at Kaisha Medical Center itself. A small venture research institute had previously announced the research results, but Kaisha Medical Center had shown no interest and ignored them, and later purchased the technology at a low price.

However, after wasting several years like that, when we belatedly accepted the technology, we found out that it was an innovative surgical method that could fundamentally cure Pruss disease.

At this time, the Kaisa Medical Center deleted all the names of the original research team members from the list and announced it as if it were its own research results. It was probably all under the direction of the Kaisa Vice President. The venture research institute that had worked hard for several years to develop innovative technology was unable to even recover the investment funds, and eventually was disbanded without being able to continue the research.

If Kaisha Medical Center had actively invested in surgical robot design technology when it first came out and had retained the original research team, ‘Pruss’ disease could have been treated much earlier than in the original story. If that had happened, Chase’s mother would likely not have passed away.

“What do you know about those incompetent college students? Why do you keep requesting meetings? You should cut them off at your own risk. How long are you going to keep reporting everything to me?”

The vice president responded annoyedly and started walking again. But the secretary did not give up and followed him, stammering an excuse despite his intimidation.

“That is, our medical team also reviewed the research team’s technology and reported that the results were quite noteworthy. Even though they are college students, they are a research team that cannot be ignored by students at St. Veronica University, Vice President. In particular, the main researcher, Lionel, is a genius who has been highly praised by the faculty since he entered medical school…”

“Even so, they are only twenty years old. Are you trying to join in on their childish activities?”

“However, our medical center also receives government support, so if we don’t produce visible results within a few years, our position will be a bit difficult, Vice Chairman.”

“That’s what I’m saying. What are you going to report to your superiors? That our research team failed to produce results, so they brought in the results of children’s research?”

“that…”

“So, stop talking nonsense and take good care of that fennec fox so that it doesn’t die. If it falls over in the middle, how much trouble will the wolf cub cause? Until you completely drive that bastard away, pretend to give it what it wants and try to please it so that it doesn’t come to its senses and is completely obsessed with Chase.”

The wolf cub seemed to be referring to me. Because the original Leoruka had been extremely careful to hide it, no one in the Caesar mansion knew of my true identity except for Director Bruno.

However, I didn’t know that my deceased mother would hide it from my new father. It seems that my mother didn’t completely open her heart to my new father.

I swallowed hard and huddled even tighter behind the pillar.

“Anyway, the young master has no interest in group work, Vice President…”

“What does that matter? The board of directors thinks of the wolf cub as their successor. As long as he has both eyes open, my position is always in danger. I can’t just bury him somewhere, huh?”

“…”

“But don’t focus too much on the treatment. Just do basic treatment and kill as much time as possible. Just prolong life to some extent. Do you understand?”

“Yes, yes?”

“Looking at the way it looks, it looks like Chase is attached to the wolf cub because of the hospital bills, but if we actively treat it and the fennec fox quickly gets up, it’ll be a problem for us too. If Leoruka gets kicked by Chase, ask us for a great group successor somewhere. Wouldn’t the old men of the Kaisah family think that they’re right and support the wolf cub?”

“…”

I knew that the vice president was keeping an eye on me, but hearing it from his own mouth was more shocking than I thought.

Now I understand why Leoruka, who had absolutely no real power within the group, was able to wield the authority of Kaisa Medical Center as he pleased. I wondered why he tolerated such behavior when he was not on good terms with Leoruka, but it turned out that the vice president had given Leoruka what he wanted -namely Chase- while he himself took control of the group from behind the scenes.

Moreover, he had instructed that Chase’s mother not be treated properly. It was clear that if he stayed in this hospital, he would never be cured.

‘But if it’s Lionel from St. Veronica College……..’

At the club’s year-end party. I remembered Taylor’s nervous face as he went up on stage and stammered his research presentation. Taylor’s full name was Taylor Lionel.

(Did you know that the items developed by the engineering club have already been commercialized?)

(That’s a diagnostic robot. It’s going to be used for surgery, so it has to be much more precise. Why don’t you come and help me out?)

During the club meeting, I could hear Chase and Taylor bickering back and forth.

I don’t remember the original story in detail, so at the time I had no idea that Taylor’s technique could cure Pruss disease.

“Hey, puppy! Where are you?”

Just then, at the end of the hallway, the door to the hospital room opened wide and a familiar voice was heard.

“What kind of dog are you bringing to the hospital?”

The vice president glanced at the place where the sound came from and muttered softly before walking in the opposite direction.
