Physician's Odyssey

Chapter 680 - Kyoto Love Story

Translator: Thyaeria

“You intend to go to China?” Yu Omuri was briefly stunned before he figured it all out and asked, “Is this the reason why you’re learning Mandarin?”

“That’s right. I want to find a change of environment and start my life in a place where no one knows me.” Natsuki Sakamoto sincerely threw out her invitation, “Doctor Omuri, I would like to request you to start a new life together with me.”

Yu Omuri might be slow when it comes to relationships, but Natsuki Sakamoto’s words were clear. Was she confessing to him?

Looking at Natsuki Sakamoto with a complicated gaze, Yu Omuri bitterly smiled. “Natsuki-chan, I’m just a failure, and I’m thankful that you can give me your encouragement at my time of difficulty.”

“Doctor Omuri, you aren’t the same as others. You do not despise me for my past.” Natsuki Sakamoto sincerely said.

“Why would I?” Yu Omuri immediately shook his head and firmly replied, “In my heart, Natsuki-chan is the best woman in the world, and I’m happy to be with you. If you want to go to China and not feel lonely, I’m willing to pack my luggage and go together with you.”

Lowering her head, Natsuki Sakamoto lamented at Yu Omuri for being inexperienced in relationships. She had already said it out so blatantly, but he still had no clue of her thoughts? Hence, she awkwardly took a sip of tea since she had no idea how to express herself anymore.

Seeing Natsuki Sakamoto falling into silence, Yu Omuri suddenly felt an outburst of courage. He grabbed onto Natsuki Sakamoto and confessed, “Natsuki-chan, I want to protect you. Are you willing to be my girlfriend?”

Listening to his words, Natsuki Sakamoto was briefly stunned before she looked at Yu Omuri’s warm face and her heart throbbed. “I’m willing!”

Natsuki Sakamoto might have an unerasable figure in her heart, but she was also strongly reliant on Yu Omuri. Facing Yu Omuri, Natsuki Sakamoto wouldn’t feel that he’s far from her reach. But on the contrary, that figure in her heart made her feel distant, out of her reach. So after making a comparison, Natsuki Sakamoto easily made a realistic decision.

She has decided to be a couple with Yu Omuri, and the two of them would head to China to develop their careers. This way, she would be able to forget her past and help that person in her heart.

At this moment, Yu Omuri felt blissful since he never imagined that Natsuki Sakamoto would really agree on becoming his girlfriend. All of this felt like a dream to him.

In addition to the request of his master, Qian Honghu, Yu Omuri no longer had any hesitation. He swiftly made the choice to develop his career in China. He had readjusted his ambition to fulfill it in another manner.

“Let’s go meet my father!” The reason why Natsuki Sakamoto confirmed her relationship with Yu Omuri was because her father, Chiaki Sakamoto, had a good impression of Yu Omuri. In the eyes of many Japanese, a doctor was a sacred profession with a high salary, so if his daughter could find someone like him to form a family, he would definitely be relieved.

Most importantly, her father likes Yu Omuri’s personality, an honest and introverted person. He knew that his daughter wouldn’t suffer from marrying him.

When the two of them arrived at Natsuki Sakamoto’s home, Yu Omuri immediately went down on his knees upon seeing Chiaki Sakamoto and sincerely said, “I’m here to beg you to let me take care of Natsuki-chan in the future. I swear that I will do my best to protect her, so please fulfill my wish.”

Chiaki Sakamoto was immediately stunned, but when he saw Natsuki Sakamoto looking at him with a smile as she nodded her head, he immediately helped Yu Omuri up and smiled. “I promise you. Quick, get up from the ground.”

Yu Omuri stood up and nervously looked at Chiaki Sakamoto. After all, their relationship had changed; the latter was no longer his patient, but the father of his girlfriend.

“Omuri-kun, I entrust my daughter to you because I believe in you as a person. In the past, Natsuki-chan had suffered too much because of me, so I hope that you will not let her suffer in the future.” Chiaki Sakamoto’s nose felt sour as he tried his best to contain his emotions.

“In the future, Natsuki-chan will be my treasure.” Yu Omuri went down again and gave a kowtow to Chiaki Sakamoto.

Chiaki Sakamoto looked at Yu Omuri in satisfaction. He was pretty satisfied with this future son-in-law.

“But Natsuki-chan told me yesterday that she’s going to China, so what will happen to you?” Chiaki Sakamoto suddenly looked vexed.

“I have already thought it out. I will follow Natsuki-chan wherever she goes.” Yu Omuri immediately said.

Listening to those words, Chiaki Sakamoto felt touched. In his view, the Kyoto University Hospital was an outstanding hospital, and it’s a glory that Yu Omuri could work there as a doctor. However, he was willing to give it up for his daughter, and with that, Chiaki Sakamoto could tell how much Yu Omuri loved his daughter.

However, he had no idea that Yu Omuri has already been fired from the hospital.

But just when Yu Omuri wanted to be honest with Chiaki Sakamoto, he was stopped by Natsuki Sakamoto.

Natsuki Sakamoto smiled and said, “A big company in China intends to poach Yu Omuri and invite him over. Oh, right. Dad, why don’t you come over with us so that we can take care of you?”

“Me? I’m fine. I’m already getting on in age, and I don’t want to travel around. My body is in great shape after the treatment, so you guys don’t have to be worried about me.” Chiaki Sakamoto smiled as he refused.

“Dad, how can I be reassured if you don’t come with us?” Natsuki Sakamoto instantly became anxious.

“Yeah, we will be a family in the future, so we naturally have to stay together.” Yu Omuri persuaded as well.

Looking at the two of them, Chiaki Sakamoto knew that he couldn’t be so selfish to hinder the development of his daughter and future son-in-law when he saw the concern in his daughter’s eyes. In the end, he nodded his head and smiled. “Alright, I’ll promise you.”

When Yu Omuri left Natsuki Sakamoto’s home, it was already 9 p.m., and he had the opportunity to taste the food cooked by Natsuki Sakamoto. At the same time, he also drank a few cups with Chiaki Sakamoto. All the haze clouding his mind in the morning has disappeared and he suddenly realised that life could be so beautiful. Only by learning how to give up on his obsession could he welcome a new life.

Upon reaching home, Yu Omuri immediately sent a message to Qian Honghu, “Master, I have already made my decision. I will be going to China to develop my career.”

“You did not disappoint me.” Qian Honghu’s reply swiftly came.

After Yu Omuri took out a bottle from the fridge and drank a cup of water, he gave a call to Su Tao and announced, “Mr. Su, I have already considered your offer, and I’m willing to work for you as your employee.”

Su Tao was currently lying in a bathtub with Qian Honghu’s medical notes beside him. Qian Honghu had a unique insight on herbs, and he had invented a few typhoid medicines with superb effects. He’s also the representative figure of the Science of Epidemic Febrile Diseases.

The Science of Epidemic Febrile Diseases meant breaking away from the restraints under the study of typhoids to form a major school of thought when treating infectious diseases. The Science of Epidemic Febrile Diseases had a strong sense of creativity. They’re often called opportunistic physicians, and they’re also good at emphasising light, clear, effective, and time in their prescriptions.

Hence, despite the supremacy of western medicine, Qian Honghu and his disciples had a strong competitive capability and formed into an influential faction of famous physicians.

“Omuri, you’re wrong in this matter!” Su Tao smiled as he continued, “You will not be my employee, but you will have the same position as me. You will also be a founder of the brand, Three Flavour Medicine. I will give you 20% of the shares, and you will be one of the biggest shareholders.”

Yu Omuri froze. He never expected that Su Tao would be so generous and was instantly moved to tears. “Mr. Su, I do not know how to describe my current feelings with words.”

“You don’t have to be so courteous. I still need your suggestions with the start-up investment of the medicine factory. You’re a professional in this matter, while I’m a layman. I need you to come up with a detailed investment proposal that covers everything, such as equipment, employees, and our initial focus for medicine. I plan to have the framework prepared within a month.” Su Tao laughed.

Yu Omuri fell into a brief ponder before he replied, “I will prepare them later!”

“Furthermore, I hope that you will not limit yourself to your previous environment. I plan to set up the largest TCM medicine research facility and medicine factory in the world. So you will need to put in more considerations in your proposal.” Su Tao entrusted with confidence.

“I will get an initial draft done as soon as possible for you!” Yu Omuri immediately replied.

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Su Tao smiled. “I believe that you will definitely surprise me.”

After hanging up the call with Yu Omuri, Su Tao felt extremely relaxed and sank his head into the water. Roughly three to four minutes later, he came back out and gasped for breath.

He might not have any favourable opinions about Japanese, but finding a Japanese to work for him wasn’t a conflict.

Su Tao was interested in Yu Omuri since he was easy to control. But after they go back to China, Su Tao would still pay attention to him since he would never forget the phrase that was left behind the forefathers of the nation. Those who aren’t my race won’t share the same thoughts as me.

The reason why he wanted to poach a Japanese to assist him in the medicine factory was because he wanted to cut down on the detours and swiftly achieve his goals.

After he finished his shower, it was already late at night. He gave Xia Yu a call to have him deal with the investments for the TCM medicine factory. Firstly, Xia Yu has experienced so much with him, and they knew each other well. Secondly, Xia Yu was talented and capable in this matter, so it was suitable for him to deal with it.

When he finished everything, his phone rang just when he was about to sleep. It was a call from Kim Jung-ho’s number, but after he picked up the call, the voice belonged to Kim Jung-yeon, “Oppa, we’ve just arrived at the airport!”

Thereafter, the brother and sister fought before Kim Jung-ho ultimately took the phone and panted, “Jung-yeon was too playful to steal my phone. We’ve already arrived at the airport, do you want to come and meet us?”

“It’s getting late, and I’m about to sleep.” Su Tao smiled as he continued, “Let’s meet up tomorrow. I also want to have a discussion about the upcoming TCM Medicine Discussion.”

Kim Jung-ho knitted his brows as he replied in disdain, “I was initially intending on experiencing Japan’s nightlife with you.”

Sourly laughing out, Su Tao replied, “I might be able to consider it if you don’t bring your sister along. Not only is she a fan of mine, but she’s also managing my fan club. So I don’t want to ruin her perfect image of me in her heart.”

“Hypocrite!” Kim Jung-ho laughed.
