Chapter 134 Dianaâs pov âItâs us challenging you. What does that have to do with Healer?â
âYeah, donât involve Healer. Worst case, weâll invoke labor laws to see if your demands are reasonable!â
Fisherâs face reddened, frustrated. âHealer, are you going to let them talk to me like this? They donât understand, do you?â
I know Fisher is warning me.
Behind him is William.
William, who didnât care about lives, wouldnât be bothered by mere âlabor laws.â
Taking a deep breath, I said, âLet them go off duty. Iâll take care of the remaining work.â
âHealer!â A female researcher at my side grabbed me. âThis has nothing to do with you. Weâre not afraid of him. You donât need to-â
âItâs necessary,â I interrupted. âIâm in charge of this project. Any issues, Iâll handle them.â
11 I looked at Fisher and asked, âAre you satisfied with this resolution?â Fisher smirked, visibly in a better mood.
With a disdainful glance at me, he shrugged. âDeal with it. Tomorrow morning, Iâll personally review your work. If Iâm not satisfied, donât blame me for punishing you.â
With that, he picked up his bag, propped it under his arm, and left the lab first.
At my strong request, everyone else also left, excluding Moss.
Since he resides in the hospital, he stayed with me to work through the night.
âYou shouldnât have taken all the work on yourself,â Moss handed me an iced coffee. âUnless the antidote is successful, heâll find faults in your data tomorrow.â
âWhat else can I do?â I shrugged, sipping the bitter but invigorating coffee.
I smiled, âDonât forget our plan.â
Moss didnât say much, just bowed his head to help me record experiment data.
A night passed.
At 6:50 in the morning, Moss and I finally completed all the remaining work from the previous day.
I stood up from the chair, unconsciously stretched, forgetting the lingering pain I stood up from the chair, unconsciously stretched, forgetting the lingering pain from my accident.
There was a tearing sensation around my shoulder, warm liquid spreading from the wound.
Moss returned from downstairs with breakfast, hastily put it down, and approached me with a serious expression. âYouâre bleeding, do you know?â âL...â
âGo to my office,â Moss said in a cold tone, looking visibly upset.
I wanted to say something, but at that moment, I didnât dare.
I obediently followed Moss to the office.
He closed the door, locked it, and said to me, âTake off your clothes.â
I was stunned.
âTake off... why do I need to undress?â
âHow else can I apply medicine?â
Moss gave me a disdainful look and lowered his head to start preparing the potion. Licking my dry lips due to fatigue, I awkwardly nodded and took off the upper part of my clothes.
Sitting on the sofa with my back at Moss, I heard him ask from behind, âAre you undressed?â
âUh, yeah.â
11 âThen I-âI Mossâs voice suddenly halted, and his footsteps disappeared.
Perplexed, I asked, âWhat happened? Is the wound opening up significantly?â
âYeah.â After a few seconds, Moss finally responded.
It might be my imagination, but his voice seemed much lower and huskier than before. âIt might hurt a bit. Endure it.â
I chuckled and shrugged, âNo big deal, just a little ache.â
This pain is nothing compared to what Iâve been through before.
However, despite my thoughts, when the cotton swab touched my torn wound, my face turned pale.
Dense cold sweat emerged from my forehead as I clenched my hand, every knuckle whitening, bones seemingly about to burst through the flesh.
Time stretched agonizingly, each minute unbearable.
After a long while, Moss finally finished applying the medicine.
I sighed in relief, realizing my lips had gone numb from my biting.
âStill hurts a bit.â I flexed my fingers, scratching my cheek.
I thought Moss would tease me, but he only made a sound with a heavy nasal tone. After rewrapping the bandage. I put on my clothes.
After rewrapping the bandage, I put on my clothes.
Moss returned the medicine to its place and said, âConsidering a werewolfâs healing speed, your wound should have healed long ago.â
As I buttoned up, I nodded.
Moss furrowed his brow.
âDonât adopt this indifferent attitude. You know what Iâm talking about. Your continuous sleepless work not only hasnât improved your health but made it worse.â Moss seemed quite angry yet helpless, advising me with emphasis, âDiana, you need to rest.â
âI...â Before I could say anything, someone knocked on the office door.
âHealer,â it was a colleague, grumbling discontentedly, âthat idiot who arrived yesterday wants to see you in his office.â
It was clear who the idiot referred to.
I tapped the personâs head, âDonât speak recklessly. Fisher Mackey is your new leader.â
âWe only recognize you as our leader.â
I sighed.
Back in the lab with the data organized from last nightâs overtime, I knocked on Fisherâs office door.
âCome in.â
An extremely arrogant voice came through the door.
I entered, seeing Fisher leisurely sitting on a leather sofa, sipping coffee.
âThese are yesterdayâs compiled data.â I handed him the folder.
Fisher didnât immediately take the folder but waited for about half a minute. Opening the folder, he glanced at it casually, then violently threw it at my face. âIs this your work result?â He scolded, âHow dare you bring such garbage in front of me, it dirties my eyes, wastes my time!â
Snap The folder hit the floor, papers scattering.
My cheek instantly felt a burning sensation.
Fisher continued to insult me.
âHealer, Healer... maybe you should stop calling yourself Healer and change your name to Loser. I donât know where you find the audacity to compare yourself to Penny. I think you, instead, should go home, find a man, get married, and have children.â
At this point, Fisher suddenly shifted his gaze, maliciously staring at me. âSpeaking of which... youâve been wearing a mask all along. Could it be that youâre hideously ugly?â He raised his chin slightly, using a tone that was half mockery, half command, âTake off your mask. I want to see what kind of monstrous face you have, whether itâs ugly ef
