I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

Those who lived near the city wall were all poor people who struggled to make ends meet and could only afford to eat meat during festivals.

With Lina's current abilities, she really can't give any precious gifts; she can only give something practical.

Three pounds of meat isn't much, but it's enough for a family to have a good meal of meat with some oil.

"You silly child, we're already so happy that you came back to see us. Why did you bring so much stuff? So much meat, how much money did that cost?" an aunt complained to Lina.

"That's right, it's not easy for you to be alone out there. We're always worried about you. Just take good care of yourself and don't spend any money on us."

"We're doing fine, we have food to eat, so don't worry about us."

The neighborhood elders all chimed in, expressing their concern for her financial situation.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Lina said loudly, "I know everyone is concerned about me, but I'm a doctor now. I don't have the ability to give you much, but I can treat you all to a meal of meat. Please don't be offended, otherwise I don't know what to do with all this meat."

An elder stepped forward and said loudly, "Alright, everyone, take the meat. This is Lina's kind gesture, and we should happily accept it. It's been many years since our area has produced such a promising child who has become a doctor. It's an honor for us."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, and happily accepted the meat.

One portion per family, absolutely no more.

There were eight pieces left in the end.

Under the guidance of the elders, the money was distributed to the families with more members, which satisfied everyone.

The children's faces were filled with expectant smiles; they would be able to eat meat tonight, which made them as happy as if it were a holiday.

Allen and Jesse quickly became friends with their old friends and went off to play happily.

"These two kids are so different after going to the Elf Academy. They seem much quieter now. Lina is such a good teacher. She's so approachable and can chat with the other kids as soon as she gets home," an older man remarked.

"They grew up being fed by many families, so when they come home, they're all relatives and friends. How could they put on airs?" Lina said matter-of-factly.

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed, their faces filled with satisfaction.

If Ellen and Jesse are like this, then what about Lena?

She's a doctor now, a very prestigious position, so it's perfectly normal for her to never come back in this lifetime.

It's rare for children from poor families to achieve great things, but in recent years, some young people have indeed emerged from here.

But once they left, they were truly gone; no matter how wealthy they became, they never returned even once.

Young people like Lina are quite rare.

"Where are Daisy and Hilda? Why haven't they come to collect the meat?" Lina suddenly asked.

Daisy is the older sister next door, a few years older than her. Her husband, Hilda, is a hunter who used to trade meat for fish with her, always giving her more meat than she needed. They got along very well.

Daisy was already pregnant before she left, so she had been staying home to rest and prepare for childbirth. She should be at home right now.

  

Upon hearing this, the neighbors looked up at the treehouse not far away, their eyes dimming slightly.

Lina's heart sank, and she quickly asked, "What happened to Daisy?"

An older woman sighed, "Daisy is having a difficult labor. Three midwives have been tried, and they all said they couldn't deliver the baby and could only try to save the child. But Hilda disagreed. Last night, Daisy screamed in pain all night. Hilda even called in a shaman to pray to the gods, but even doctors can't help with this kind of thing. There's been no movement at all now, and I'm afraid..."

"Giving birth is a deadly ordeal; so many women have lost their lives because of it. Daisy's life is so tragic," an aunt sighed.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat heavy.

We've been neighbors for years, and it's hard for anyone to feel bad about something like this happening.

"I'll go check it out; maybe I can help." Lina carried the medical kit and headed towards Daisy's treehouse.

"Lina, can you deliver babies?" the auntie from before asked.

Everyone turned to look at Lina, their eyes lighting up.

"I learned how to deliver babies in difficult labor from my teacher in the Abyss. Perhaps I can help Daisy," Lina nodded, quickening her pace.

But she was still a little uneasy. After all, Connie had always been there to assist with disinfection and cleaning during previous C-sections. She was worried that if she had to do it alone, the wound might get infected and endanger the mother.

"This child has really made something of himself; he can even deliver babies for women in difficult labor!"

"Great! Daisy is saved now."

"But can doctors really deliver babies? Daisy went through three different midwives and still couldn't give birth."

The neighbors' faces lit up with joy, but they also had some doubts.

"Lina! I've finally found you!" A voice rang out.

Lina paused, a look of surprise on her face, and turned to look.

A carriage pulled up, driven by Betty, with Martha sitting on the shaft, and stopped next to Lina.

"Connie, is Connie here?" Lina asked anxiously.

"I'm here." Connie climbed out of the carriage and smiled at Lina, "Sister Lina, I'm here."

"Come with me quickly, a neighbor is having a difficult childbirth and her condition is very critical. I need your help." Lina grabbed Connie's hand and ran towards the treehouse next to them.

"Dr. Lina is really dedicated..." Martha remarked with some emotion.

"Saving lives is urgent, especially since they are acquaintances. I hope their surgeries go smoothly," Kasha said with a smile.

The neighbors looked at the people on horseback with curiosity, and the badge Betty wore on her chest inspired awe.

As they watched Lina and Connie climb up into the treehouse, their eyes held a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

"If Daisy doesn't survive, leaving behind the child and Hilda, how will he live?"

"Yes, Hilda is a poor girl. She finally met Daisy and they could depend on each other. Their lives were getting better and better. How could this happen?"

"Difficult childbirth, difficult to survive. Lina has learned some skills, but to say she can save women in difficult labor, I doubt it."

Lena led Connie up to the treehouse, which was several meters high. When they knocked on the door, they could already smell a pungent, smoky odor.

After a while, the door was opened, and a young man with a stubble beard, bloodshot eyes, and a somewhat dejected and broken appearance opened the door wide. A cloud of smoke rushed in, and the room was filled with smoke, making it almost impossible to see what was inside.

"Brother Hilda, how is Daisy? Is she alright?" Lina asked anxiously.

"Lina?" Hilda was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Why are you back?"

"I came back with the teacher today and heard that Daisy had a difficult childbirth. How is she doing now?" Lina asked.

"Daisy, she..." Hilda's eyes dimmed as she glanced back at the smoke-filled house. "The sorceress is casting a spell. Now we can only pray to the goddess of life to grant Daisy a chance to live."

"With this smoke, the goddess of life won't appear, and Daisy won't survive. Let the sorceress go; I'll help Daisy," Lina said in a deep voice.

"You..." Hilda hesitated, "The sorceress was hard to find. Everyone says she's very powerful, and she's only halfway through the spell..."

"Cough cough... Lina... Lina, is that you? Help me... I'm in so much pain..." A weak voice came from the room.

"It's me! Daisy, it's me again!" Lina quickly responded, then looked at Hilda and shouted, "Are you crazy?! You'll kill Daisy! I'm a doctor now, you don't believe me, you believe a fortune teller?"

"Don't worry, the spell will be completed soon, and the Goddess of Life will protect you..." The old shaman's voice echoed in the room.

"Lina...Lina..." Daisy's voice grew weaker and weaker.

Hilda was covered in sweat, her face was pale, and the veins on her forehead were bulging; she was in pain and conflicted.

"Lina is a very skilled doctor. She has delivered more than ten babies in difficult labors, and both the mothers and babies survived. You should trust her, not the fortune teller," Connie said.

These words struck Hilda like a thunderbolt, and Daisy's cries for help pierced his heart like a thorn. He looked at Lina and asked in a hoarse voice, "Lina, can you really save Daisy?"

"I will do my best," Lina nodded.

"Then, I'll leave it to you!" Hilda turned and walked into the house.

"Hey, hey, hey? The spell was almost finished, what are you doing?"

"No need, I'll give you all the money. Now take your things and leave."

The sorceress was kicked out, along with her pile of messy props.

"Where did this little brat come from, daring to boast and joke in front of an old woman like you? You have no respect for the gods, they will curse you!" The sorceress looked at Lina with some resentment.

"Using the name of the gods to swindle and deceive, the gods will never forgive you," Lina replied coldly, walking towards the room while telling Hilda, "Open all the windows and let the smoke out!"

"Okay!" Hilda agreed and opened all the windows.

White smoke billowed out of the window, making the air feel a bit fresher.

However, the house was still filled with smoke and ashes, which would be unbearable for an ordinary person, let alone a weak new mother.

"Connie, tidy up the environment and prepare for surgery," Lina instructed Connie, then quickly walked towards the master bedroom.

Connie made a hand gesture, and the water flowed away the stains and ash in the room, as well as the smell of smoke in the air.

In the master bedroom, a pale-faced woman lay on the bed, her belly swollen high, her breathing short and shallow. As she looked at Connie who came in from the door, her eyes glistened slightly, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Daisy, I'm back." Lina's nose tingled with emotion, and she quickly walked to the bedside and grabbed her hand.

"Lina, it hurts so much... I was about to choke to death, thank goodness you're back..." Daisy said softly through tears, her breath growing weaker and weaker.

Hilda stood by the bedside, tears streaming down her face, and said softly, "Daisy, Lina is a doctor now, she can definitely save you, you have to hold on."

"Save the child. If I don't survive, you must save our child." Daisy suddenly tightened her grip and looked at Lina with unwavering determination.

"No, I want you and the baby to live." Lina squeezed her hand hard, then turned to Hilda: "Put the two tables together, then carry Daisy onto one of them, quick!"

Upon hearing this, Hilda forgot her grief and quickly pushed the two tables in the room together before carefully lifting Daisy onto one of them.

Connie walked in from outside the door, and her cleaning spell took away the smoke and ash in the master bedroom, leaving the entire room spotless.

"Close the doors and windows, then go outside," Lina said to Hilda.

Hilda quickly followed her instructions to close the window, walked to the door, and looked at Daisy with reluctance.

Connie stepped forward, slammed the door shut, and locked it with the bolt.

Moving Daisy caused her even more pain; her body twisted involuntarily, and beads of sweat dripped from her forehead. She could only utter some indistinct words.

"Cut off her clothes, then give her anesthesia and prepare for surgery." Lina remained remarkably calm as she opened the first-aid kit and began taking out various medications and instruments.

Connie remained remarkably calm, cutting off Daisy's dress with scissors, then casually using a cleansing spell to clean Daisy's body and the makeshift operating table. She then retrieved a bottle of anesthetic and guided Daisy to take the medicine.

Daisy fell into a coma shortly after taking the anesthetic.

Lena picked up the scalpel, nodded to Connie, took a deep breath to calm herself, and began the cesarean section.

Outside the door, hearing the sudden silence inside, Hilda's heart leaped into her throat.

He hesitated for a moment, his hand gripping the doorknob, but he didn't push it open forcefully.

There was no way out; he was completely out of options.

Now we can only hope that Lena can really save Daisy. Lena and Daisy have a very good relationship, so she definitely won't harm her.

But can the doctor really save Daisy?

If he could, he would have gone to get a doctor long ago.

He wouldn't hesitate for a moment to spend all his savings to save Daisy.

But doctors will never treat pregnant women or deliver babies.

He clutched his hair, hating himself for being useless and for making Daisy suffer like this.

Outside the door, the sorceress packed her things while saying in a sarcastic tone, "A little girl like you dares to talk big, and you actually believed her? This has ruined your wife and child. At least they could have survived..."

Outside the treehouse, the neighbors gathered together, all looking with concern in the direction of Hilda's treehouse.

"The fortune teller was kicked out, is Lina really capable?"

"Lina has always been honest since she was little. She never boasts or lies. If she says it can be done, then it definitely can."

"That makes sense. Even if we believe in Lina, we can't believe in that fortune teller."

"Daisy is a child who has suffered a lot. I hope she can get through this."

Although they were not optimistic that Lena could help Daisy give birth, they still hoped that a miracle would happen.

Betty sat in the carriage, looking with equal concern in the direction of the treehouse.

Every year, the dreaded ordeal of childbirth claims the lives of many women in the Elf City.

Lina spent a month learning from Charlotte in the Abyss. Could it be that she has really mastered how to deliver babies for women in difficult labor?

If that's really the case, it would be great news for the women of the Elf City.

The sorceress finished packing her things, but instead of leaving, she stood leisurely at the door of the treehouse, preparing to mock Lina after the woman in labor died.

She had been a sorceress for hundreds of years and was quite well-known in this area. If Hilda hadn't begged her to come, she might not have been willing to make the trip.

A reward of ten thousand copper coins is not a small amount, but if her reputation is damaged, the loss would be enormous.

She'll wait here until the woman dies, then say that the brat offended the gods, causing the death of both the mother and child, and that it has nothing to do with her. This will also serve as proof once again that the gods are not to be profaned.

what--

A clear, crisp cry of a baby rang out from the treehouse.

"She's given birth!"

Everyone's faces lit up with joy.

"Lina is amazing, she helped Daisy give birth to the baby."

"Yes, at least she survived. Now it's up to Daisy to see if she can hold on."

"Daisy is such a kind person, she'll definitely pull through. The goddess of life will protect her."

Hearing the baby cry at least proved that the child had been safely delivered, and everyone's worries were immediately relieved.

"How is this possible! It's impossible!" The sorceress's eyes widened, and her wrinkled face showed shock. Although she was not a midwife, she knew that three midwives had come and said that the child could not be born, which was why Hilda had come to her.

But now the sound of a baby crying can be heard from inside the house, which means that the child has been born.

However, most of the mothers who gave birth died.

Previously in that room, the woman in labor was on the verge of death, let alone giving birth.

"It really was born!" Betty's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Lina is now a very professional obstetrician and gynecologist. She has successfully delivered more than a dozen difficult births in the Abyss with a 100% success rate. There's absolutely nothing to worry about," Martha said with a smile, full of confidence.

"That amazing? Did Dr. Charlotte teach her that?" Betty asked in surprise.

Martha nodded: "Of course, our boss's medical skills are indeed very advanced and unique, but he felt it was inconvenient for a man to deliver a baby for a woman, so he put Lina in charge of it."

"It is indeed very impressive." Betty nodded in deep agreement.

She had witnessed Charlotte's methods in rescuing Her Highness the Saintess, and now she had seen his student save a woman in difficult childbirth. At such a young age, Charlotte had brought the world so many surprises.

"Daisy! Child!"

Hilda was frantic outside the door, like a cat on a hot tin roof. She could clearly hear the baby crying, which made her happy, but she was also worried about Daisy even more because Daisy hadn't made a sound, which gave her a bad feeling.

The three midwives who came today all asked him whether he wanted to sacrifice the mother for the baby.

Cut open her stomach and take the baby out; the baby could live, but Daisy would surely die.

If Daisy were to die, what would be the point of him and his child remaining in this world? So he refused the three midwives' offer.

"Lina, Daisy... Is Daisy alright?" Hilda couldn't help but ask at the door, trying hard to control her emotions and not bang on the door.

"Please remain quiet during the surgery. The patient's condition is currently stable," Connie's voice came from inside.

Hilda opened her mouth, but ultimately held back and didn't say anything.

Connie's words at least prove that Daisy is still alive and that Lena is trying to save her.

Inside the operating room, Lina solemnly stitched up Daisy's abdominal incision. The cesarean section went relatively smoothly, without any major bleeding or other complications.

Daisy had been through a night of torment and was subjected to a fumigation session by the sorceress, leaving her completely exhausted. Her breathing was becoming increasingly weak, and her pulse was also weakening, indicating a very serious situation.

Connie placed the cleaned and soothed baby in a swaddled blanket beside her, watching Lina with the same anxious expression, awaiting her next instruction.

They worked together to deliver more than a dozen babies, and this was probably the most critical case.

Daisy was too weak; she was on the verge of death when they arrived.

"Prepare the miracle potion, and feed her half a bottle first," Lina said while tying a knot.
