Chapter 91 - I do not have any regrets Part2

The bullet was lodged near Luther's spinal cord, hitting a critical lumbar area and paralyzing his entire body.

She shuddered as she looked at that face, which didn't even wince in pain.

He rather had a calm and serene expression on his face.

As he watched the tears pouring out of Su Lin's face, Luther gently murmured, "I have no regrets."

If he could, he would have already wiped out the tears coming out of her kind eyes.

But the warmth in his face did little to calm her down.

"I am sorry for causing you this pain", Luther closed his eyes, not daring to look at her anymore.

Squirrel and Monkey also looked grave.

This time squirrel didn't hesitate. 

He immediately called for an ambulance, to the best hospital in the city.

He stabilized his master's condition. But some things...

Only time will tell...

Things happened quickly after this and Luther was shifted to a high-grade facility, with the best neurosurgeon in the country flying to Hangzhou city to tend to him.

Luther might not have acted like it, but their organization had extremely deep pockets.

But sometimes, even money cannot solve all problems.

Experts went in and out one by one. 

Other than his brothers, he refused to meet with anyone, even with Su Lin.

He didn't want her to feel guilty for his current condition.

He was after all protecting her and it was his fault if any for being too careless.

Su Lin, on the other hand, was sitting like a statue outside Luther's room.

Her heart ached. Her body trembled uncontrollably.

This guy... He didn't even hesitate to throw himself in harm's way, just to protect her.

He didn't mind at all to exchange his life for hers...

Su Lin clenched her fist...

Was she that important to him?

She had always been an orphan and alone.

She had never felt any love or affection, let alone experience someone throwing his life for hers.

Su Lin shuddered.

She was completely useless, wasn't she...

She knew she had enemies.

Someone was willing to drug her and ruin her.

Why wouldn't they take the next step and try to kill her? Why didn't she think of this before?

Su Lin closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down.

"I can still save him. Even if the heavens want to, I refuse to let him deteriorate." Su Lin mumbled and stood up with conviction.

She looked past his pleading and angry eyes and held his hand. She gritted her teeth and tried again and again.

No this was useless.

She needs to reach at the least Soul Stage 2 to be able to send her spiritual sense into someone else's body and manipulate their internal energy.

But reaching Soul Stage 2 required an enormous amount of spiritual energy, which this world was largely devoid of.

Potentially, there might only be a few such energy-rich places.

Su Lin cringed with the overwhelming feeling of helplessness.

This man... This man who valued her, more than his own life... Was she that useless that she couldn't even help him...

Su Lin bit her lips and stood up. She at least needed to try.

She signaled Monkey to follow her outside.

He should have been more careful.

He didn't want to burden this woman, who already seemed to carry the weight of the world on her frail shoulders.

Su Lin looked at Monkey in the eyes and spoke with a serious tone, "I need to access an area in the bottom of the ocean, preferably next to a volcanic mountain."

"What?" Monkey was confused.

"I strongly believe that a herb from that area can help Luther a lot." Su Lin's trembling voice confidently echoed.

Monkey was silent for a second, but then slowly nodded his head.

Yes, she was saying strange things. But, he would be a fool to doubt her medicinal capabilities.

Rabbit, who was standing next to them sneered with indignation, "First, you cause this calamity and now you want to sightsee? What a fake!"

Monkey patiently patted his shoulder and shook his head, signaling him to stop talking.

They were all clearly upset.

But taking it out on this woman, whom their brother almost died to protect, did not do anyone any good.

Monkey solemnly spoke, "Rabbit, Take care of everything here. I will help her get the required herb."

"Do you actually believe this useless frivolous woman? This is utter nonsense." Rabbit scoffed angrily.

He did not have any respect for Su Lin.

This was the woman responsible for everything.

If they hadn't met her, they would all be happily chattering as always somewhere in an obscure part of the world, hidden from all this maliciousness.

Hearing the harsh comments, Su Lin's lips twitched, but she stayed silent. She was guilty and she deserved this and more.

Monkey ignored his remarks as well and left with Su Lin.

Since they had already arranged for the private flight to be in the Hangzhou city airport, for the Medical Specialists, it was convenient for them to directly head to the location they needed.

After discussing with Su Lin, Monkey charted the flight for an island, located near southern China mainland, a part of the Hainan Dao island cluster.

This was just a gamble, not all volcanic oceanic surface, end up birthing such precious herbs.

But, since this was a relatively untouched part of the earth, their chances were quite good.

Soon, their jet landed bumpily on a flat surface near the southern part of the island. 

Monkey and Su Lin jumped down, along with a couple of bodyguards for carrying some supplies.
