It was the same hospital room.
The person on the bed had just received a sedative, his face a little pale and covered in a light sweat.
A commotion came from outside the room, and the person on the bed unconsciously frowned.
So noisy.
Before long, the door to the room was knocked on.
'Knock, knock, knock.'
Seeing no response from inside, the person outside didn't knock again. After a while, a delicate female voice came through the door, asking, "Mohan, Mohan, are you there? Can I come in?"
Seeing that she still got no reply from inside, Zhao Feier outside turned red-eyed with anxiety.
Why, why, after being engaged for several years, was she still so unwelcome?
Why was this happening?
The bodyguard outside, seeing Miss Zhao in tears, felt a bit flustered.
Inside the room, the Crown Prince hadn't said anything, and as his subordinates, they wouldn't dare to overstep.
After all, this was the Crown Prince's family matter.
It was just hard on Miss Zhao, such a perfect girl.
Yet, she hadn't won the Crown Prince's heart.
At this moment, Bai Han was doing his rounds and noticed the unusual commotion in front of room 5876.
How could there be such noise in a hospital?
And wasn't this the Crown Prince's room?
Were these bodyguards useless? Why weren't they stopping the noise?
Bai Han quickly walked over to the room. Before he could even start scolding them, he saw the two bodyguards looking at a girl in a state of helplessness.
He looked down. Wasn't this the Crown Prince's fiancée? Why wasn't she going inside? Instead, she was crying outside the door. Could it be that the rumors outside were true?
A hint of amusement flickered in his eyes. This was interesting.
Bai Han strode over to the door of the room and said, "Miss Zhao, hello."
Zhao Feier, seeing the doctor suddenly appear before her, wondered who he was. Before she could think, she said, "Hello, you are..."
She hadn't seen him before.
"I am the Crown Prince's attending physician. Don't you know, Miss Zhao?" Bai Han explained away Zhao's confusion.
It shouldn't be this way. As the Crown Prince's fiancée, she should know who his attending physician is.
This was a bit hard to accept.
Perhaps the person in front of her wasn't like the rumors suggested?
Such deep affection.
The amusement in his eyes grew, and he quietly watched the expression on the girl's face.
He wanted to see something.
Hearing Bai Han's question, Zhao Feier's delicate face showed no panic. She said softly, "Oh, it's you. I thought the Crown Prince's attending physician would be an old man. I didn't expect you to be so young."
The amusement in Bai Han's eyes vanished instantly.
Damn it. So that's how the outside world saw him?
He was an old man?
He was clearly in his prime!
Bai Han didn't say anything further. He naturally knew why Miss Zhao was here. After glancing at the medical record in his hand, he said to Zhao Feier, "Miss Zhao, the Crown Prince just received a sedative and should be asleep now."
You might as well not wait.
Hearing this, Zhao Feier's face showed a hint of surprise. Then, with a look of helplessness, she said, "Thank you, Doctor, for taking care of Mohan. I'll come again another time. Let Mohan rest well now, and I'll be going." After bowing to Bai Han, she turned and left.
Seeing Zhao Feier's retreating back, Bai Han didn't disturb the Crown Prince's rest at the door and continued his rounds.
Walking on the road, Zhao Feier's lips moved slightly.
I almost gave myself away.
Qin Mohan, who was sleeping in the ward, heard the sounds outside quiet down, and the frown on his brow smoothed out.
He continued to sleep.
Meanwhile, in a cave.
Lin Hao felt bored sitting on the stone bed, his legs dangling.
He didn't know what to do.
Eh?
Lin Hao suddenly thought of something.
He could check his spiritual power now. He had some free time, so he might as well see how his spiritual power had recovered.
He closed his eyes and felt his spiritual power flow little by little. When he opened his eyes, he was in his spiritual sea.
Looking at the boundless snowy white surroundings, he wandered there.
He searched for the cracks that had appeared before. After searching all around, he still couldn't find them.
His heart finally relaxed. Had it finally healed? If that man knew, would he take him back to continue working for him?
The thought sent shivers down his spine.
But now, even if that man wanted to take him back, he'd have to ask Elpha and the others if they were willing.
After all, after observing for these past few days, the insectoids' obsession with their king was truly profound.
They treated him as if he would melt if held too tight, or break if held too loosely. They didn't care if they turned him into a cripple.
But if such a day ever came, they would probably be extremely happy.
If that happened, they would surely feign innocence.
Thinking about it made him find them adorable.
At this moment, Lin Hao suddenly felt something tugging at his finger. He looked down and saw a black thread.
The black thread seemed excited to see Lin Hao looking at it. It stopped tugging his finger and instead wrapped around his hand.
What was this? Why did it suddenly entwine his hand?
Lin Hao complained in his mind. He tried to pull his hand out of the black thread's grasp, but this black thread was not as cute as it appeared on the surface.
No matter how he pulled, he couldn't get it off.
He was getting tired of pulling.
Had he been scammed?
And in his spiritual sea, no less.
Was there any fairness?
This was truly unethical.
Let it entwine him then. He couldn't get out anyway.
Lin Hao stood up, realizing that this was the only unusual thing that had happened. He relaxed his mind and left his spiritual sea since there were no other anomalies.
I'm a little hungry.
Lin Hao thought. He looked up and saw Rela walking towards him, holding a weapon.
He shouldn't be hungry.
If he had committed a sin, punish him, but please don't insult his noble character.
Rela, holding the milk bottle, walked up to Lin Hao and smiled, saying, "King, you must be hungry. I've prepared food for you."
Actually, Rela had prepared the milk long ago and had been keeping it warm with her ability. Just now, she seemed to have sensed a faint mental fluctuation from the King indicating a desire to eat, so she strode over to Lin Hao to ask.
Don't thank me, King, I'm just a humble Good Samaritan.
"I'm not hungry." Lin Hao still wanted to struggle a bit, after all, drinking milk...
Looking at Rela's smiling face.
He then calmly took it.
Drinking milk, one time would lead to another. He'd get used to it, right? It wasn't like he hadn't done it before.
What was there to be afraid of?
Oh, it tasted really good!
As Lin Hao savored the milk in his hand, his initial resistance was suppressed by these two feedings.
After finishing, he returned the milk bottle to Rela. His gaze happened to fall upon his left hand, where he found a black thread.
He rubbed his eyes and found that the black thread was still there.
What the hell, had this thing become sentient?
How could something from his spiritual sea materialize?
Could he take back what he said in his spiritual sea? He was waiting online and in urgent need of help!
He raised his hand and looked at his left hand, observing it closely. He had to admit, the black thread was wrapped quite nicely.
It made his skin look even fairer.
And it made him look more alluring.
Damn it, I don't want to live anymore.
