As a doctor, Harvey naturally knew a lot about a beastmanâs physique. He could tell from one glance that Muirâs level was definitely above a four-striped beastman.
This was another one of Qingqingâs suitors.
Harvey guessed, then quickly welcomed her into his place. âCome in quickly. Itâs hot outside. Are you sick?â
Bai Qingqing entered the house while shaking her head. âIâm not sick. Oh right, Anâanâs poison is almost all clear as well. Itâs a lot better now.â
Harvey smiled, feeling consoled. âThatâs good, then.â
Since Bai Qingqing wasnât sick, then why did they come? Could it be this strong beastman who had newly joined the village?
Harvey didnât really believe it, but he still took an extra glance at the male. Only then did he notice that his arm positioning wasnât normal.
Bai Qingqing met Harveyâs gaze, then nodded and said, âIâm here to ask you to help take a look at him. His arm was injured and wasnât given timely treatment. Can it still be treated?â
Harvey walked up, reaching his hand out and wanting to touch it. However, he paused in midair as he felt an intense wariness.
Although his abilities were mediocre, his sensitivity toward danger was exceptional. Otherwise, he wouldnât have been able to move about freely in the forest given his fragile body.
He did not doubt that if he were to get close like this, heâd be killed by this strong beastman out of reflex.
Muirâs body didnât move at all, but his muscles garnered strength at the instant the doctor got close. He almost slapped him down.
Thankfully, he stopped at the point of eruption. This was someone Qingqing asked for help to check his injury. He mustnât be killed.
âThis is a fracture. By right, when you guys are hurt, youâll try to move your bones back a little. How did it become so seriously distorted?â As Harvey asked, he naturally drew his hand back.
Bai Qingqing didnât notice the hidden interaction between the two. She vaguely knew that Muir had given up on himself because of her, and she felt a hint of guilt.
âCan it still be treated?â Bai Qingqing frowned.
Muir also looked at Harvey with a hopeful gaze.
Harvey said, âLet me feel the bonesâ positioning.â
âEn.â Muir gave a deep reply. Only then did Harvey reach out to touch him while being on the edge.
The graceful manâs brows furrowed increasingly tighter. His heart also rose.
âHow is it?â Bai Qingqing asked softly, her lighter breathing revealing her anxiety.
Muir turned his attention onto her. Seeing her being so concerned for his injury, even if it was so that heâd be better able to help her deal with Saint Zachary, he was still content even in adversity.
âSigh! Sigh! Sigh!â Harvey let out three consecutive sighs and then let go of his hand.
âYour bone has shattered in multiple parts, and theyâve already started to grow closer together. The chances of healing it completely at the point of injury were already very slim. Now, even if I were to break your bones and treat it from the start, the chances would only be slimmer than it was back then!â
Break his bones!
Bai Qingqing drew in a cold gasp. Even the hair on her back was all standing up.
âWouldnât that be very painful?â
Harvey nodded and said, âItâd definitely be very painful. Thereâs also a need to take care to not hurt the intact bones, only breaking the dislocated parts. If thereâs the slightest mistake, this arm will be completely crippled.â
âThen, letâs not treat it. Itâs fine as is. He can still hold things. He just canât fly.â Bai Qingqing tried to console him as she said this. âMost beastmen arenât able to fly. It isnât a big deal.â
Bai Qingqing wanted to keep her distance from Muir, but subconsciously said words of consolation.
As Muirâs facial muscles hadnât been used for very long, they had stiffened up a little. His lips still twitched slightly, revealing the faintest smile that was hard to notice.
