Chapter 198 - 5.8 Terra
Warning: non-consensual touch but don’t worry no harm is done :)
Lu Yizhou tried so hard to not react visibly at that. "The President demands me to. Do you have something to say about that, doctor?"
"Oh, of course not." Doctor Wyatt blinked. "It’s good for a three-sense sentinel to look for a guide, even more someone with conditions such as yours. I can’t always be here all the time so it’s good to have a guide watching your back. Good luck with that, though. I heard the highest rank guide that’s available in the association is B and their compatibility with an A rank sentinel is only 86%."
Lu Yizhou carefully observed the doctor’s expression as he said so. Either he was a gold award winning actor, or he was genuinely inquiring about the situation. Lu Yizhou’s cautious trait made him lean more toward the former. He still hadn’t seen the whole plot yet and even though Doctor Wyatt had his lover’s scent stuck to him, Lu Yizhou still couldn’t make a conclusion whether he was a friend or foe.
"I see..." He nodded minutely. "It is always difficult for a dark sentinel like me to find a suitable guide. Do you have a solution for that, doctor?"
Something flashed in Doctor Wyatt’s eyes before it swiftly disappeared. Hesitation? What was he hesitating about? Lu Yizhou tucked the doubt to the back of his mind when Doctor Wyatt sighed in resignation and said. "What can a poor doctor like me do in this kind of circumstance? Just so you know, General Kai, you are placed in a private ward in the hospital where we treat unstable sentinels. The President is telling us to keep an eye on you for the next few weeks so you should get better as soon as possible and prove to them that you’re still sane and healthy. Don’t worry too much about guides. You will surely be able to find one in your life."
He didn’t even hide the fact that he was blatantly changing the topic, Lu Yizhou mused. Something must be going on here.
Then, the doctor patted his shoulder and Lu Yizhou vividly sensed a thin thread of spiritual power trying to worm itself through his barrier. His eyes chilled as he slammed his barrier up against the probing and Doctor Wyatt pulled his hand back as if scalded. Lu Yizhou gave him a heavy scrutiny whereas the other person merely smiled as if he hadn’t been caught trying to probe Lu Yizhou’s mind. Definitely a gold award winning actor, then. "Get some rest, General Kai. I will see you later in the evening."
[What is he trying to do?] Lu Yizhou asked after Doctor Wyatt left the room. [Wait, no, don’t answer that. You don’t know anything either way. Just pass me the plot.]
[666: ...QAQ Host is so cruel. 666 is also useful at times, okay?]
[666: *grumble* all right here it is.]
