"Doctor Dot, are you at home?"

When it was dark, I walked around to the location of the hospital.

At this time, the street lights were first turned on, and the whole street was enveloped in a quiet atmosphere. The wind gently stirred everything that could make a sound, as if there was a whispering passerby lurking at every intersection.

The shadow stood alone under the street lamp for a while, accompanying me behind me, and then quietly stopped moving.

It wasn't until a slightly deep shadow appeared behind the door of the hospital that I moved my steps and looked there.

Sure enough, Dr. Dot's ordinary and serious face appeared in the crack of the door.

"It's Marcus, did you agree to support my experiment?"

I ignored the doctor who was still talking about the importance of his experiment, and walked into the room and closed the door, as if this could isolate the uneasy atmosphere outside the door.

I also happened to observe that there was a very brightly colored umbrella placed at the entrance of the hospital, which was completely unlike what Dr. Dot would use.

"Doctor, did someone here forget an umbrella?"

I asked tentatively.

Dr. Dot was interrupted and said: "This should be left here by Ellie. She is now working as a nurse in the hospital and is also my assistant."

"Oh, you can't tell, doctor." I teased.

"It's not what you think. She just learned medical knowledge for my grandma's illness and came to help me."

"Hahaha, don't be so serious. Doctor Dot, you are too nervous."

Doctor Dot saw that I seemed to be here for something, so he put a glass of water in front of me and motioned for me to sit down.

"I know my personality is a bit too serious, but I can't seem to change it."

Doctor Dot sighed, and his face, which looked particularly serious with thick eyebrows and big eyes, became a little melancholy.

"I also hope to be like Marcus, chatting and laughing with everyone, and making so many friends. In the past few days since you came to the town, I have already heard from the mayor, Boss Dart, and Zach.

I’ve read your story, and I’ve also heard from Purberry and Yuya that you were mentioned. I’m really envious that you have so many friends.”

"Everyone has a different personality. If I were asked to work as hard as you do, I wouldn't be able to do it. Otherwise, I wouldn't come to ask you for advice."

I quickly put a tall hat on his face and then took the opportunity to tell him my purpose.

"I have a friend who wants to know what disease Lady Lilia has."

Doctor Dot looked around and asked seriously.

"Is this friend you are talking about yourself?"

"Dr. Dot, you are worrying too much. He is a friend of mine."

"But……"

"It would be boring to be too serious."

"Well...well, what does your friend want to know?"

I saw that the doctor was convinced, and then I said: "Doctor, I heard that you also gave Mrs. Lilia a comprehensive examination when you came to town. Is it true that you couldn't find any problems?"

Doctor Dot entered professional mode with a serious expression and began to describe the condition eloquently.

"Actually, the first case I came to town was Mrs. Lilia's illness. When Zach told me about it, I confidently expressed that with my medical knowledge, even if the disease could not be cured by medicine, it would be possible.

Being able to diagnose the results.”

"But to my surprise, I couldn't make a diagnosis using all the methods at hand. All physiological indicators, blood routine, heartbeat and pulse, and hormone secretion were all within a reasonable range."

"Marcus, can you imagine a person who is not sick but exhibits this pathology every day?"

I shook my head.

This is just like a person who has not eaten at all but always feels full. It cannot be explained logically.

"I didn't find the root cause physically. I also tried to find a breakthrough mentally, trying to find out whether there was mental trauma, childhood shadow, etc."

"But from my conversation with Mrs. Lilia, I can feel that she is a very mentally strong person and does not show obvious emotional flaws or mental disorders."

"If the physical abnormality is caused by the spirit, it will definitely show its own strangeness mentally, such as logic, values, and language expression."

"But it didn't work out at all."

When I heard this, the information I got was the same as what I got from Boss Dart.

When the diagnosis cannot be confirmed but the symptoms continue to appear, it can be said to be a terminal illness, and it is impossible to even prescribe the right medicine.

"Doctor, my friend also wants to know what the ingredients are in the medicine she drank?"

After hearing this, Dr. Dot took out some materials from the cabinet and placed them in front of me.

"This vial contains pyridinone acetamine. Adding one gram at a time can promote the synthesis of ATP in the brain, promote the synthesis of acetylcholine and positively enhance the conduction of nerve excitation, which can promote metabolism in the brain."

"This bag of white powder is ordinary glucose. Stir 20 grams at a time into 450ml of water to replenish energy."

Finally, he took out a bag of dried herbs from the cabinet and placed it in front of me.

"This is a special plant on the island. I call it green medicine. There is a special ingredient in it that can speed up metabolism and enhance memory, concentration and thinking ability. However, taking it orally will cause short-term esophageal paralysis."

It seems that this strange plant with its tangled branches and leaves like kelp is the raw material of the bottle of concoction I drank.

"Doctor, then I...don't have one last question for my friend."

Doctor Dot put away the medicinal materials and sat back down: "Say."

"My friend wants to know, doctor, did your teacher write back later?"

"Did Boss Dart tell you this? He has always been very concerned about Mrs. Lilia's illness, and even helped me purchase a lot of medicines."

Doctor Dot nodded, not surprised that I knew this.

"The teacher did reply to me a letter. He said in his heart that these no-abnormal indicators could not be used as a criterion for judgment, but it was a pity that he could not travel across the ocean to assist me in diagnosis."

"But in the letter, he put forward a new hypothesis, which I thought was too ridiculous and completely unacceptable."

"What hypothesis?" I feel that there may be the answer I want.

Dot pulled out a notebook from the drawer, with a piece of paper taped to it with handwriting so neat that it didn't look like it was written by a doctor.

There is only a short paragraph above, but each stroke is sonorous and powerful, reflecting the strong character of the author who means what he says.

"...In view of the patient's special condition and inconvenience for traveling, I will briefly summarize the diagnostic opinions:

1. When patients experience extremely disordered health conditions, they should focus on examining the external influences of the living environment and record all suspicious variables.

Second, does the patient have any problems from a genetic perspective? In view of the lack of equipment there, you can analyze the dominant genetic genes of the two children.

Third, it is an irrelevant guess of mine. This case reminds me of a patient I encountered when I was young. This case does not represent any valid judgment.
