Shard turned his head to look behind, but as expected, there was no one there. His action of turning his head, however, made the doctor notice something amiss:
"Shard, is your neck injured?"
Shard had just undone the button at his collar, and the act of turning his head exposed the part of his skin that had been covered by his clothes. It was the sight of some abnormal traces that had prompted the doctor to ask casually.
Shard immediately reached up to cover his neck and then hurriedly fastened the button again.
The middle-aged doctor showed a smile:
"Oh, I see."
