Chapter 1354: Is that why she picked me?

"I’m sorry for making you wait."
Haines looked back at the entrance of the doctor’s office and nodded in understanding. "It’s alright, Doc. Today was a busy day at the company, so having a night appointment isn’t that bad."
"Ha ha. I see." The doctor quickly moved from behind the desk and settled down. "We got your results from the last scan, and I reviewed them earlier."
The doctor paused as he pulled out the scan to show Haines, pointing at a specific area. "You see this, Haines? The muscles around here are regrowing. Although very slowly, if they continue, there’s a high chance that your leg might get a lot better."
"Is that so?" Haines clutched his leg, looking up at the doctor. "Can this... also take away the pain?"
"Hmm?"
"Today, I woke up and didn’t need to take the prescribed painkillers to get through the day," Haines explained. "I don’t think I’ve taken any all day. Though now, I can feel some slight—very faint—discomfort."
Deep lines appeared between the doctor’s brows. "Haines, the pain will always be there until we can perform surgery to help the muscle regrow. Right now, that part of your leg is sealed off to prevent infection from spreading. What I’m saying is, we’re even considering surgery because your leg has shown signs of improvement—signs that your muscle can still regrow, despite the severity of your injury and the infection it triggered."
"Then how come I didn’t feel pain today?"
