'I said it before but....science is the best.' Lucas prayed silently. 

It didn't even take ten minutes to fix his jaw. A normal healing potion and a little fixation of bones were all that was needed. It was even more easy when the internal structure of his bone was being displayed on a screen beside the bed, the doctors did a quick job. 

Lucas patted Syuzia's head, who depressingly continued staring at the ground. 

"There was nothing you could have done, at that moment. Even I couldn't properly react to his sudden attack." Lucas bitterly looked at Syuzia's current appearance. 

Normally, Syuzia stayed quiet, mostly speaking when at home. This was because she read Lucas's preference in the past week. 

Whenever Lucas left home, his attitude was always that of a serious worker — not liking senseless speaking. 

Knowing Syuzia's careful attitude, Lucas was happy with it too. 

'Ahh....If every girl was this considerate, what else would I need?' Lucas remembered the women he met back in his old body, feeling bitter internally.

Taking a look at his clothes, a pained look flashed on Lucas's face. 

'I liked this set of clothes a lot...I was even considerate enough so that Katlyn didn't tear them mistakenly.' Lucas sighed deeply. 

The driver walked into the room, passing Lucas a pack of cigarettes. 

"Thanks. They are the best when feeling annoyed." Lucas lighted up one immediately standing beside the window. 

Sensing Katlyn sitting pathetically outside the room, Lucas sighed again. 

'She broke down quite fast. I was thinking of letting her suffer the seizure for another few times, but I guess it's unnecessary.' Lucas decided to be kind to his future women. 

Swish~ 

Someone entered the room again. 

"That...Katlyn wants to have a minute with you." The Manager informed Lucas with a little hesitation. 

Lucas waved his hand as if scaring away an annoying bug. He didn't bother turning back, gazing out of the window while leaning 

"Can you please reconsider? Katlyn's seizure has grown worse since she woke up. From the way things are progressing for her now, she might experience severe mental problems soon...." The manager tried his best to change Lucas's mind. 

"Tch! Shut up already. I don't want to have anything to do with this shit. I'm going to kill that bitch, I don't care who he is, but I will make sure to make him vomit out all my blood...." Lucas's angry voice made the manager shut up. 

Katlyn, who heard all this from outside, got up and knocked on the door. 

The manager saw Katlyn's blank face and smiled bitterly. 

"Ha! Are people allowed to enter other people's rooms without permission these days in the hospital?" Lucas continued acting. 

Looking at Katlyn standing before him, like a motionless doll, Lucas brought the cigarette away from his mouth. 

As if she couldn't hold it in anymore, tears began falling from Katlyn's face. She was sorry for what happened to Lucas, but that wasn't the reason for her tears. She felt fear, immense fear that didn't allow a normal person to even breathe properly. 

Katlyn walked towards Lucas, with her whole body swaying to the sides as if her body was breaking down. 

"I'm sorry...I'm really sorry...Ugh, don't go away please...." Katlyn hugged Lucas while kneeling, to never let go. 

This was the period in which Katlyn's mentality should have been honed, but such a development didn't happen with the absence of the protagonist. 

'She has completely broken down...Why is she this childish anyway? Was this her original personality? All I knew was that she had a cheery personality, well I don't know about the current her.' 

Regarding this matter, Lucas was practically a blank paper. He didn't know much about Katlyn of the past or the present. 

Lucas signaled everyone to leave with his head, feeling his clothes getting wet. 

Click~ 

Everyone left without a word. 

"Ugh..." Lucas exposed an annoyed expression, seeing Katlyn not letting go even when he tried to walk back to the bed. Instead, she stuck tighter in fear of him leaving. 

'Phew, she had this coming....' Lucas gave her a piece of his mind, not holding back: "Do you know your current appearance? Begging me and sticking to me like this, it's nothing but repulsive." 

Lucas's voice was laced with superiority and disgust.

Triggered by Lucas's words, Katlyn clenched her teeth. 

"It's not like I want to do this either! I hate this...I hate the feeling of helplessness when I experience that seizure! I hate it...I hate it more than anything...!" Katlyn got up, with her eyes still red from all the crying. 

'Now she is getting angry...Really, her behavior is so hard to predict.' Lucas stared deeply into Katlyn. 

"What does that have to do with me? Why should I suffer by staying beside you? We are not friends, or neither relatives. I don't even see a reason to talk with you right now." Lucas gave an ultimatum, pointing out that Katlyn's next words would decide everything. 

Silence prevailed in the room. 

Only Katlyn's ragged breathing could be heard within the room. 

The painful silence didn't seem to have any sign of ending soon. 

'Drama is really classic in many of the romance games. Patience is important in such kind of scenarios. Thankfully, I'm experienced in this field.' Lucas didn't rush his current situation in the slightest. 

Katlyn's head inclined forward, leaning onto Lucas's chest. 

"Save me..." Katlyn softly spoke of her true feelings. At this moment, she discarded any kind of pretense or pride. 

Lucas frowned, 'Is this a normal female lead? I thought she would tell me to do whatever I wanted with her, or something along this line. But the development shifted drastically. Hmm...I guess this situation is an important development as well.'

Thinking for a second, many kinds of lines passed through his mind, but they all made Lucas disgusted. They were lines that the protagonist would say. 

An evil smile gradually spread across Lucas's face, as he slowly pushed Katlyn and sat on the bed. 

Tap-tap.

Lucas tapped on the space beside him, Signalling Katlyn to sit. 

Katlyn sat with a confused expression, following Lucas's intention. 

Immediately, Lucas put his hand over Katlyn's shoulder, hugging her from the back. 

"Eh..." 

"What? You are allowed to hug me whenever you want, but I can't do the same." Lucas spoke directly into Katlyn's ear, causing her to flinch. 

"What are you....?!!" 

Num~ 

Lucas bit Katlyn's ears, causing her whole body to freeze over. 

"Ung!...no, why..." Katlyn resisted while blushing. 

"Shut up. Did you already forget about my condition of one wish per day? This is it, so stay quiet." 

"Does that mean...." Hope returned to Katlyn's eyes, but immediately she was overcome by pleasure. 

Lucas aggressively moved his tongue, not hiding his experience at all.
