CH 270

The head guard asked his subordinates to cover the beggar’s mouth and drag him out. Xi Ning saw Lin An touching his short knife on his waist from behind, he reached out and tugged Lin An’s sleeve, “I’m fine, just ignore him.”

The beggar has been dragged away and they can’t hear any sound from him anymore in the restaurant, other customers are also back to minding their own business. Lin An slowly lowered his hand that was holding the knife, but a deeper killing intent appeared in his eyes.

Xi Ning walked towards the stairs, Lin An stared at the direction where the beggar was leaving for two seconds, then turned to follow him.

If Xi Ning had shown more mercy to the beggar just now, he might have actually killed him.

Lin An didn’t delve into where his thoughts came from. In the past when he wanted to kill someone, how to kill that person, it mostly depends on his mood.

Not long after, the doctor invited by the head guard had arrived and he was taken to Xi Ning’s room.

The doctor is a local in his 40s. After being invited in, he is not allowed to look around and talk nonsense. He will just treat the disease.

He entered the room with his head lowered, but he couldn’t help but take a glance. He saw two people sitting at the table that were completely covered, one was wearing a cloak and a hood, and the other was standing with a mask.

The man with the hood raised his head slightly, which revealed a bit of his silvery white hair, and he stood up to greet him, “Hello, doctor, I want you to take a look at his face.”

The doctor turned and looked at Lin An, who had just taken off his mask.

“This is……” The doctor was startled, he quickly calmed down and let Lin An sit down, took out the medicine box from his pocket and carefully observed his right face.

Lin An didn’t like letting a stranger get so close, and even touched his face with rubber gloves and various tools, but Xi Ning was still watching nervously, so he sat down patiently.

The doctor looked at his face for a long time and was frowning all the time. Xi Ning asked, “How is it? Can his face be cured?”

“Sorry……” The doctor finally answered, “I can only say that this is not a birthmark, and I can’t determine the specific cause for the time being. It may have formed when he was still a fetus in the mother’s body, and more time is needed to examine it.”

But they will be leaving at noon, there is no time for other examinations, not to mention that a lot of equipment that the doctor required is in the hospital and he didn’t bring it with him.

Lin An said, “Your Highness, let’s leave it as it is now, I’m not in a hurry.”

The doctor’s examination result was as he expected, he didn’t even have the slightest expectation.

From his point of view, he could see Xi Ning pursing his lips and was looking very unwilling, but at the end he had no choice but to reply, “Fine.”

The head guard had already given the money to the doctor, but he didn’t help much. Before leaving, the doctor suggested to draw some blood and bring it back for testing, and then tell Xi Ning the results, if there is a chance.

Xi Ning and Lin An had no objection. The doctor took out a thin syringe from the medicine box and drew a small tube of blood from Lin An’s right face.

After the doctor left, Lin An clearly noticed that Xi Ning was unhappy.

For the first time, he felt another person’s undisguised concern. Lin An paused, walked to Xi Ning and knelt down, “Your Highness, I don’t mind it.”

For a moment, Lin An even hoped that Xi Ning could always care and pay close attention to him like this, and make him the only person that was given this kind of treatment.

It’s a pity that when they go to the ghost forest, he probably won’t be able to hide his identity anymore.

Xi Ning put down his hood, lowered his head and answered, “Em.”

With the two of them in this posture, Xi Ning couldn’t help and bent over to hug Lin An, putting all the weight of his body on him. Lin An was caught off guard when his warm body suddenly leaned over, he panicked and didn’t even know where to put his hands.

Before he returned to his senses, Xi Ning patted him on the shoulder, “It doesn’t matter if it can’t be cured, I……”

He pushed Lin An away a little and looked at him, his pointed ears were slightly red, he wanted to say that it would be okay if he didn’t get cured, he would not dislike it, but because the relationship between them had not reached that stage, he couldn’t say anything.

Lin An couldn’t pay attention to what Xi Ning said just now. His whole mind was full of thoughts  that Xi Ning took the initiative to hug him, and Xi Ning wasn’t drunk right now……

Lin An saw his face without a mask in Xi Ning’s clear pupils, and instantly woke up, turned his head and replied, “Yes.”

Xi Ning slowly got up and sat down. The person who delivered their lunch happened to knock on the door.

The servant placed the meal and said, “Your Highness, today’s lunchtime is a little earlier, and we can leave after you finish your meal.”

After the dwarf took the medicine, he was mostly recovered. Everyone packed up their things after lunch and went out of the city to meet up with the convoy.

The doctor who brought Lin An’s blood in a tube returned to the hospital. There was no one in the hospital at this time. He instructed his assistant a few words, and carried the medicine box to the laboratory at the back.

In fact, he only asked for Lin An’s blood out of manner. He majored in medical treatment, and he was not proficient in analyzing medicines and its components. The doctor took out the tube of blood and prepared to put it in the cabinet first.

Just as he took it out, the tube containing the blood suddenly burst, and there’s some blood and glass fragments splashed on his hand.

It didn’t hurt much when the glass stuck in his hand, but when the bright red blood touched his skin, there was an inexplicable burning sensation. The doctor hurriedly washed his hand that had the blood on it with water and put ice on it for a while, only then it didn’t hurt much.

He looked down and saw that there were also a few blood drops on his clothes. There were several burned holes on the gray fabric, and the edges were charred.

The doctor couldn’t hide the fear on his face, he quickly tidied up the remaining glass tube residue, wrapped them in several layers of plastic and threw it into the incinerator.
