"His physical injuries have mostly healed, and his condition is relatively stable today. I've done a preliminary diagnosis, but for follow-up treatment, I'll need a full understanding of the situation from you family members before prescribing the right medicine..."
Qiqi quickly refused: "He was treated elsewhere before and only recently came to this city. I hope to take him home and continue his treatment at the original hospital."
Dr. Lu nodded: "That works too."
He glanced at his watch and said, "Little junior, spend some time alone with your cousin first. I'll check on other wards and be back soon."
Qiqi quickly nodded.
Finally seeing Dr. Lu off, Qiqi walked back to the bedside and gently shook the Wolf King's arm: "Rong Yi! Rong Yi!"
To her surprise, Rong Yi suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in his dark pupils, startling the girl!
"Cousin—" Rong Yi spoke slowly and deliberately.
Rong Yi was fully conscious, his dark phoenix eyes fixed on Qiqi: "Cousin, what exactly is intermittent mental illness?"
Oh no! So he had been awake all along! And eavesdropping on their conversation!
Qiqi felt a bit awkward and replied: "Intermittent mental illness? It means someone suddenly goes crazy and kills someone else's pet rabbit!"
She was somewhat annoyed by his public bloody rampage.
"Pet? You mean that rabbit?" The Wolf King frowned: "I was just hunting at the time!"
"Hunting? Do you think the lawn in People's Park is your personal hunting ground?" Qiqi glared: "That rabbit was being fed by a kid, it's a human's best friend!"
"I'm not human, and rabbits won't be friends with wolves."
Rong Yi raised an eyebrow disdainfully and said slowly: "Miss Qiqi, while I appreciate you coming to visit me, are you here to save me or scold me?"
"Scold you? Save you? Can't I do both—scold first, then save?" Qiqi was a bit irritated—damn, she hated guys who acted so arrogant, tied up as a prisoner and still throwing his weight around? This guy!
A green light flickered in the Wolf King's eyes, but given his current disadvantage, he decided to back down and stay silent.
Seeing he didn't respond, Qiqi asked: "Why were you pretending to be unconscious?"
"To avoid them drugging me again."
Drugging? Probably anesthetics or sedatives? Not too dumb.
Gu Qiqi nodded and asked: "Can you walk now?"
Rong Yi shook his head: "They drugged me an hour ago. My limbs are weak, I can't walk."
"Even if you could walk, I couldn't take you out," Gu Qiqi said. "The security outside is tight, and the corridors are all equipped with surveillance cameras."
"What head?"
"Camera... I'll explain later. Anyway, if we go out, we'll be spotted and caught." Qiqi frowned.
On the way here, she had secretly scoped out the hospital's checkpoints—security was strict, sneaking the Wolf King out was nearly impossible. The best way was to get him out through official channels.
The Wolf King said: "No matter. Just help me stall those people outside for a while. Once I use my energy to expel the drug from my body, I can break free."
His tone was very certain, and Gu Qiqi couldn't help asking: "How? Turn back into a Husky?"
The veins on the Wolf King's forehead bulged again: "Miss Qiqi, I'll say it one more time: I—am—a—wolf! Don't make me repeat myself!"
