Chapter 239 - 5.49 Won’t Leave You Behind
CW: uhh there’s explicit scene in the end but I won’t put the warning on the title because it’s so short heheh ;)

"Lu Yizhou..." Terra’s eyes were tinted red as he lifted Lu Yizhou’s head to his laps, his entire body shaking as he cradled the man as much as he could with his smaller frame. "Lu Yizhou, wake up..."
Lu Yizhou’s eyes remained closed, blood oozing out of his nose, mouth and ears. Terra gasped out a sob as he reached out to wipe the blood away. But it was no use, it kept pouring and pouring out, smearing his sentinel’s gorgeous yet pale face.
He bent down until he could press their foreheads together, his jaws clenching so tight to rein in the trembles. "You told me nothing would happen..." He forced out in a strained voice. "You told me that you would finish as soon as possible. Lu Yizhou, you liar. You’re not allowed to die..." Tears fell freely from Terra’s dull eyes, dropping pitter-patter on Lu Yizhou’s bloody cheeks. His face was twisted in rage and sorrow as he held Lu Yizhou’s body so tight to the point of crushing. "I won’t forgive you if you leave me behind again. Do you hear me, Lu Yizhou? I will hunt you down, lock you up and tie you to my side so you can only see me, hear me and feel me. Do you want that to happen? Answer me... Why won’t you answer me...?"
Another figure stumbled into the room approaching them and Terra snapped his head up, baring his teeth and holding Lu Yizhou’s body closer to him. Danger, his instinct screamed, have to protect, have to kill anyone who gets close! His consciousness was jumbled and he could focus on nothing except for Lu Yizhou’s weak heartbeats and his faint breath, the only anchor that strung his thin sanity together and kept him from shattering.
"Calm down." General Ethan lifted both hands and coughed blood into his fist. Even though he was a S rank sentinel, this kiddo’s attack was clearly no joke! If his instinct hadn’t been honed during the war, he would have been blown to pieces. "I mean no harm to you and your sentinel."
"He won’t be able to hear you, Ethan. Not anymore." Doctor Wyatt caught up behind him. His white coat had been stained by grime and blood smeared his pale face. At least, his body was still intact. He kept his eyes on Terra with a helpless yet wary look, preparing himself if the guide were to attack once again. "Terra’s unstable condition has improved tremendously ever since he met General Kai, but in fact, that has been a double edged sword in the first place. General Kai pieces him together but it is also General Kai who can easily tear him apart. If something indeed happens to General Kai..." He inhaled shakily, unable to continue the line of thoughts.
General Ethan grimaced. He, too, was also fully cautious as he assessed the grave situation. "How is he?"
Doctor Wyatt sighed and shook his head. "The electricity has been down on the entire hospital. I can’t examine him without getting close to him." Alas, judging from how defensive Terra was, getting close to General Kai would be impossible and they had no idea how Terra would react if they forcefully separated him from his sentinel. Both of them knew that and Doctor Wyatt hardened his jaws, declaring. "We can only wait for the time being."
"Come on," he prayed despairingly under his breath. "Come on, General Kai. You can get through this."
