Chapter 203 - 5.13 Don’t Kill Each Other!
"Doctor Wyatt!" A flurry of footsteps approached him, followed by two nurses and a security guard. Upon finding him leaning weakly against the wall, they panicked. "Doctor Wyatt, are you okay?! Goodness, your neck...!"
Wyatt knew that there would be hideous finger marks around his neck, especially when the sentinel didn’t even hesitate to block his airway, his eyes were cold in silent determination to kill. Wyatt had never seen him before, which was a weird thing because rank A sentinels in the world could be measured in two digits and there was no way they could avoid going to hospital at some point of a time. Their medical reports must have been archived in the hospital and coincidentally, one of Wyatt’s favourite pastimes to do was to skim through medical reports like he was reading a very interesting novel.
More importantly, why...? Why did a sentinel want to kill him? He didn’t seem like holding a grudge, more like... like someone ordered him to do so.
Wyatt coughed a while more as the nurse went to open the windows to let fresh air in. He was still reeling in shock from both the near death experience and General Kai’s bizarre appearance. Right, General Kai! He grabbed the security guard’s arm, his expression almost frenzied. "Where is General Kai? Have you seen him on your way here?!"
"No." He replied gravely. "Actually I am on the way to search for him because it seems like the fire originated from his room and also..." He hesitated, creases appearing between his brows. "There are four unknown rank A sentinels tied in the room, unconscious with a varying degree of burn wounds. They are not the patients in the hospital."
Chills ran down Wyatt’s spine as everything suddenly clicked in his mind. The thoughts in his mind flashed by faster than the speed of light to the point where his entire body went still to catch up with his brain. Those people were coming to assassinate General Kai and him, he realized in dread. For what? As for the clear reason, he could slowly investigate it later but more importantly, the fact that an assassination attempt had happened in the hospital, even more in a secluded ward where he treated unstable sentinels, was solid and true. It was an exclusive ward that only the government and a few higher-ups knew and that’s why he had been cautious and only allowed his most trusted people in.
However, not only did the assailants know General Kai’s precarious state enough to take advantage of that, they also knew the layout of the ward. Wyatt’s face turned somber at that. Someone on his side must have defected.
And General Kai...
"We have to find him." Wyatt ordered with gravity in his tone. General Kai had awakened his special abilities in response to the attack. Wyatt couldn’t imagine what kind of state his mind was in right now. "Inform the control room. He couldn’t have gone too far. Now!"
