Chapter 7

"Wee Woo——"

  The sharp sirens of an ambulance were heard in the distance, breaking the silence at the intersection, and it quickly approached the side of the road.

  Yael felt relieved and ran into the road in a few hurried steps, just in time to meet the doctor who jumped off the hovercraft.

  "Sir, did you call the ambulance?"

  "Come, put him on the stretcher, be careful with his wound..."

  The door of the ambulance slammed shut, and it flew into the air at a high speed and set a course straight to the hospital.

  The car was equipped with two experienced doctors who completed first aid in the shortest possible time. The thick blood stains on the female insect's face hadn't even been wiped off, and an oxygen mask as well as various machines, had already been put on him.

  Yael sat aside and calmed his rapid breathing, his eyes fixed on the female insect's face. His tense shoulders did not relax until the situation was initially stabilized.

  He pressed at his brows and leaned back in his chair tiredly.

  The sub-female assistant in the corner raised his head from the electronic screen and quietly observed the profile of Yael, feeling a little surprised.

  Is this a legendary male insect?

  Although he had heard of it before, this was the first time he had ever seen it up close.

  The male insect in front of him was incredibly handsome, with his eyes half-closed in fatigue and his brows furrowed.

  Half of his body was covered in blood, and with the extremely red blood and pale complexion colliding violently, just by sitting there, he showcased a breathtaking beauty.

  The female suppressed the pounding in his chest and couldn't move his eyes away.

  When the entire hospital received this male insect's distress signal, there was a rare scene of chaos in the wards. The director urgently sent two senior doctors to fly the hovercraft over in a hurry, fearing that arriving a step too late would cause irreversible consequences.

  But... the sub-female took a look at the female insect on the stretcher and curled his lips.

  It turned out to be to treat a dying female slave?

  He muttered to himself, "What a waste of medical resources."

  However, the next second, a chill attacked the back of his neck, he shivered violently, and suddenly met a pair of dark eyes.

  Yael looked at him expressionlessly, with a chill in his eyes. "What are you looking at? You left your post at such a critical moment. Where are your professional ethics?"

  The questioning tone made the female feel aggrieved. He gritted his teeth and turned his gaze back to the screen, somewhat indignant: He's just a D-class male insect, why is he acting all high and mighty!

  Those rumors must be false! How can he be gentle and beautiful? Who are you trying to scare to death with that cold face?!

  The female insect doctor who was treating the patient noticed the hostile atmosphere, frowned, and warned, "Focus, Noni."

  After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Yael and said in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, sir. Your call for help was very timely. The situation has been initially stabilized."

  "Female insects have strong resilience and it is difficult for them to die after being rescued."

  Yael withdrew his gaze and looked at the female insect with her eyes closed on the stretcher, and his expression finally relaxed.

  "That's good."

  It wasn't that late yet and the hospital was brightly lit.

  The female insect had been taken in for surgery, and Yael, who got out of the ambulance, was taken by the sub-female nurse to pay the fees. His pocket was filled with all kinds of miscellaneous fees and bills.

  Yael looked at the list and then at the his account balance and sighed.

  It's really expensive to pick up a female insect. If he keeps on doing this, the balance in his computer will really run out.

  "If you think it's expensive, you shouldn't beat him so hard... He's already in the operating room, and it's still hard to say whether his life can be saved..."

  The female insect who was taking orders for him at the window suddenly whispered something. The light from the floating screen reflected in his eyes, and his eye sockets actually turned slightly red.

  The sub-female next to him pushed him under the table, suggesting that he should stop talking nonsense, as he would suffer the consequences if the male insect held a grudge against him. The female insect bit his lower lip and shut up.

  Yael looked up and glanced at him, then casually put the list into his pocket.

  "I found him on the street. I don't even know what he's called."

  After he said that, he followed the nurse away without looking at the female insect's expression again.

  The female insect had been pushed into the operating room, the red light came on, and Yael pinched his eyebrows and sat down on the chair next to it.

  Not long after, a medical staff member came running over and whispered nervously, "Sir, you can go to the exclusive reception room and wait. We have prepared..."

  "Thank you, but no thanks."

  Yael turned his head to stare at the closed door and said softly, "Let me sit here for a while."

  From passing by the black market to meeting the female insect, and then to now, only a few dozen minutes have passed. The rush of blood subsided, the inexplicable impulse also dissipated, and reason took over again.

  A momentary impulse did not seem to be enough to support the action just now, but there was no deeper motive or purpose to be found.

  Whether when he saw the advertisement or even when he was disgusted by the live broadcast, he originally had no intention of buying the female insect.

  On one hand, there is the innate psychological resistance to slavery and his inability to accept the insect trade.

  On the other hand, he came here through transmigration, and the principle behind it is unclear. But he arrived here suddenly, and he might be sent back at any time. It is not suitable for him to establish a close relationship with anyone.

  ...Oh well, never mind.

  Yael crossed his fingers and placed them between his brows and took a deep breath.

  Let the female insect recover from his injuries in the hospital, and then tell him to find a job and support himself.

  There's no need to take him home or establish any other relationship with him, just think of it as an act of bravery on his part.

  …

  Five hours later, the female was transferred to the general ward.

  Yael followed and saw the female insect lying naked on the hospital bed.

  The plump and flexible lines on the female insect's body are like undulating mountains, calm yet warm and soft. The crisscrossing wounds have stopped bleeding, revealing bright red flesh and white bones, looking extremely hideous.
