Healing a Fallen S-Rank Beastman: Everyone Fights Over the Little Female Chapter 31: Doubt

"Are you Lu Xiao?"

After the military escort left, the Beastman sitting in the chair suddenly spoke, his tone respectful.

Lu Xiao, who was adjusting her equipnt, looked up and smiled at him. "You’re already here, and you still don’t know who I am?"

"I just couldn’t be sure. You look very young. I’m sorry, I didn’t an anything by it."

"I understand. Are Kels and Kenwayt, oh, and Claude—are they all doing well?"

Lu Xiao reeled off the three nas, a flicker of surprise in the man’s eyes. "You... you actually know their nas? I don’t know Claude, he’s not in our sector, but I know Kels and Kenwayt. They’re the ones who ca back and told us about you. They said we absolutely had to apply to co to your clinic, but so of the others didn’t believe them."

"So you do trust them, then?"

"Of course. It’s not like things can get any worse. Better to try a long shot than just wait to die in the shelter. Besides, Officer Hans also encouraged us to trust you."

"Officer Hans?" Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow. She recalled that the person Teacher Ai Li had contacted was nad Hans. "What all did he say?"

"He said if we didn’t apply now, we’d regret it later when we couldn’t get in. That has to an you’re the real deal, right?"

Lu Xiao chuckled. "What’s your na?"

"My na is Vilke. Before I ca to the shelter, I worked in intelligence for the military. I can be a bit of a talker, so I hope you don’t mind."

"No, on the contrary, I think it’s great. How has your sleep been lately? Do you have nightmares? And how has the dication been affecting you?"

"My condition is actually pretty stable. I can get to sleep, but I have nightmares. The dication helps a bit."

Lu Xiao nodded gently. The system showed that Vilke’s condition was the mildest of anyone she had treated so far.

He’d been in the S-Class Shelter for one year and three months, and his condition had remained stable at the Early Stage, with almost no progression.

’This is probably related to Vilke’s personality and his forr line of work,’ Lu Xiao thought. ’Intelligence officers usually have a higher tolerance for stress.’

"Alright, let’s start the treatnt now. Close your eyes and relax."

"Are you going to perform a Spiritual Soothing on ?" Vilke’s eyes widened in amazent as he looked at Lu Xiao.

"Didn’t Kels and the others tell you about this?"

"I didn’t think you’d do one for . I know my condition is much milder than theirs. Plus, I’ve never had a Spiritual Soothing before. I’ve been saving up, hoping to experience it at least once while I’m still alive. But I never got the chance. I can’t believe you’re willing to do it for ."

By the end, Vilke was even starting to choke up.

Lu Xiao gently touched his forehead. "Don’t overthink it. Relax. You need a good, long sleep."

As she infused her purification power, she confird that Vilke’s Spirit Sea indeed had the least amount of Dark Matter of any patient she’d treated, with the exception of Ares.

Based on the S-Class Shelter’s admission criteria, if Vilke continued his treatnt with her, it shouldn’t take long for him to be discharged.

As for whether he might relapse after being discharged, that was sothing Lu Xiao couldn’t be sure of yet.

After all, she still didn’t know where this Dark Matter ca from.

Thirty minutes later, Lu Xiao stopped the treatnt. She returned to her station to rest for a mont while she waited for Vilke to wake up.

This ti, Vilke slept for a full thirty minutes.

It was becoming clear from her cases that the milder the symptoms, the longer the patient slept after treatnt.

Vilke’s face was still dazed when he first woke up, but he quickly ca to his senses. "I was asleep... Was I just asleep? Kels wasn’t lying after all! You really can put us into a deep sleep! This feels incredible!"

"Feels good?"

"Yes, I feel so light. Thank you, you’re incredible!"

"Then let’s make a deal. Between now and the next ti we et, I want you to think about the one thing you’d want to do most if you could leave the S-Class Shelter."

"Leave? Is it even possible for to leave?" Even with his relatively positive outlook, Vilke never dared to dream of leaving the S-Class Shelter once he was admitted.

Lu Xiao shrugged. "Who knows? There might be a chance. Think about it carefully and tell next ti. Your treatnt is finished for today. See you next week."

When Vilke left, he looked as happy as if he’d won the lottery.

He was so happy that the Beastman waiting outside grew extrely curious. He was about to speak, but the military escort pushed him inside. "Be quiet."

The Beastman had no choice but to shut his mouth, swallowing his questions.

’He just wanted to ask if Healer Lu was really as amazing as Kels and the others claid.’

Lu Xiao watched as a chubby, slightly older Beastman ca in.

"Hello, what’s your na?"

"My na is Robin. I was a chef. I don’t know if you’ve ever eaten at Egger Restaurant, but I was the head chef there."

Lu Xiao was a little surprised. This was the first ti since she started treating patients that she had encountered a male who wasn’t from a military background.

"Wow, that sounds amazing! You know, I love to cook myself. Don’t look so surprised. I know it’s a little hard to believe, but it’s true!"

"That really is incredible! That you’d be willing to set foot in a kitchen!"

"It’s not just . All the therapists at our institute are learning how to cook. There’s a real sense of accomplishnt in making a delicious al with your own hands."

"Yes... I know. I’ve always known that. I just don’t have the chance anymore."

"You have to keep hope, Robin. Let’s make a deal. When we et next week, you tell your specialty dish, and I’ll bring sothing I’ve cooked myself to trade with you. How does that sound?"

Robin’s eyes went wide, and he stared at Lu Xiao in disbelief. "You... you’re going to let taste your cooking?"

"Of course!"

"Of course I’m willing! I an, it would be my honor! I really don’t know how to express my gratitude. I..."

"Then you’ll need to cooperate fully with the treatnt. How has your sleep been lately...?"

Once she began her routine questions, Lu Xiao’s deanor beca a bit more serious.

Robin’s condition was similar to Kels’s, nearing the Early Interdiate stage.

The dication had so effect on him, but not much.

Without intervention, he would be at a standard Early Interdiate level by their next eting.

Lu Xiao noted his condition in her records, then put on her gloves and walked over. "Alright, Robin. Now, please close your eyes. Try not to think about anything, and just get so good sleep."

"Okay, Healer Lu. I won’t move." The mont he finished speaking, Robin obediently closed his eyes.

The mont Lu Xiao extended her purification power into him, she couldn’t help but give a small ntal gasp.

Robin’s Spirit Sea contained very little Dark Matter. Instead, it was his spirit silk that was a tangled ss.

’What’s going on here?’
