Chapter 366: Chapter 328: The Scent You Left on Her Is Too Strong
For a moment, the doctor almost suspected that the female before him was a Mimic Mixed Species.
’Otherwise, how could a female look so much like Yuanbao, the virtual female on Claw?’
’Although Yuanbao had only ever revealed the upper half of her face, her eyes, brows, and facial contours were just too distinct. She was different from any female he had ever seen—or rather, she looked different from their entire race.’
’And it was too strange for "her" and this Leopard to appear here.’
’Although this was the 12th District, where females weren’t exceedingly rare, their hospital was a small clinic on the district’s fringe. It was near the train station, so it wasn’t deserted, but it was still remote. In the nearly twenty years since its founding, they had never had a single medical record for a female.’
’Yuan... This female looked so young, barely an adult at most. Why was there only one male with her?’
’But when he took a careful whiff of her scent, he could detect a faint female aroma beneath the chaotic mess of male scents. It didn’t seem like something a Mimic Mixed Species could fake.’
’Unless this Mimic Mixed Species was of such a high level that it could fool even his sense of smell.’
’If so, then these two were extremely dangerous individuals.’
"What are you standing there gaping for?"
Wanai’s cold voice cut through the doctor’s thoughts.
The doctor snapped back to reality and picked up his stethoscope. "I’ll examine her first."
As he spoke, he reached for the female’s outerwear. The moment he touched the fabric, he paused. His gaze lingered on her face for a moment before he moved with even greater care, gently pulling away the tattered blanket and heavy coat that swaddled her.
Seeing her attire, the doctor’s suspicion deepened.
’What kind of female wears clothes this shabby?’
’A wave of anger toward the Leopard who brought her in surged through him for no reason. He was taking terrible care of her!’
The thought was fleeting. His attention was instantly captured when his hand brushed against something cold on the female’s body.
He had only intended to open the heavy coat of the female who resembled Yuanbao just enough to perform a physical examination.
But her clothes were so oversized that the layers underneath came down with them, revealing her thin, frail shoulders and the skin around her collarbone.
And just below that was a silvery object, clinging tightly to her skin.
The doctor asked in astonishment, "What is this?"
The object reflected a metallic glint under the bright medical light overhead. It certainly didn’t look like any kind of undergarment.
Wanai said, "Just treat her. It won’t affect anything."
His Shielding Device was still active, but it wouldn’t hold out for much longer. When it failed, no one would be able to touch her.
"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH—"
Just then, Gu Ning coughed violently.
She was delirious from the fever, half-conscious and muttering nonsense.
Hearing her voice and smelling the now stronger female scent wafting from her, the doctor’s last shred of suspicion evaporated. He quickly pressed the stethoscope to her chest.
Wanai watched his every move.
After a physical examination, the doctor looked at the vital signs on his medical instrument. "Strange..."
Wanai asked, "What’s strange?"
The doctor didn’t answer, asking instead, "What species is this young lady?"
After he asked, the doctor’s heart skipped a beat, as if he were about to uncover an incredible secret.
His gaze fell on the female’s flushed face. ’After all... she really does look so much like Yuanbao.’
’But Yuanbao is just a virtual female, and her species appears different in each video.’
’Maybe it’s just a coincidence...’
The doctor appeared calm, but his mind was in a daze.
Hearing the doctor’s question, Wanai’s gaze swept probingly over him and the Detection Device in his hand. He retorted, "You can’t tell by her scent?"
"The scents you’ve covered her with are too strong," the doctor said. ’Especially that scent of a male wolf in heat.’
Wanai asked, "Does her species affect your ability to treat her?"
"Of course, it does," the doctor said. "Every Beastman species has a different constitution, so the medication differs as well."
Listening to Gu Ning’s muffled whimpers, Wanai said, "Just prescribe something based on her age and weight. She’s twenty-two and weighs about 104 pounds."
The doctor looked at him, his tone turning cold. "Are you kidding me? You’re her family, but you don’t even know her species?"
Wanai pressed his lips together. "I’m not her family. She... just took a liking to me. Asked me to hang out. We’re still getting to know each other."
The emergency room fell silent.
At that moment, only one thought crossed the doctor’s mind: ’Call the police.’
’Regardless of whether this Leopard is telling the truth, this guy doesn’t look like a decent beast at all!’
’’Took a liking to him’? He might fool some kid with that line, but this female looks so young. She should still have a guardian. Even if she liked some male, her guardian wouldn’t let her run off to such a remote place alone with him.’
’Besides, she has the scent of another male in heat on her, which means she’s mated. What kind of male is so thoughtless that he’d let another male near her during her heat, let alone take her out by himself?’
"Cough, cough..."
The young female’s cough made the doctor temporarily set aside the thought of calling the police. ’I’ll treat her first. It’s not like this guy can run off, anyway.’
While preparing the medication, he asked Wanai, "Where was she before she got sick? What did she eat?"
Wanai answered succinctly, "She fell into a frozen lake and swallowed some water."
The doctor paused in his work. Now he knew why the young female had a fever. He frowned at Wanai. "How did she fall into a frozen lake? What about her family and relatives? Call them."
Wanai said nothing.
The doctor glanced at him, quickly finished preparing the injection, and carried the tray back to the young female’s side. Just as he was about to administer the shot, Wanai suddenly grabbed his wrist. "What did you prepare for her?"
"A fever reducer," the doctor replied.
’I don’t know her species, but her primary symptom is a high fever.’
Wanai asked, "Is that a medication for males?"
The doctor was baffled. "Why would a fever reducer be gender-specific?"
Wanai said, "She can’t use our medicine. Get something else."
"Are you the doctor, or am I?" Seeing the Leopard wouldn’t release his hand, the doctor explained patiently, "The priority right now is to bring her temperature down. This medication works for everyone—male or female, young or old. It’s a fever reducer dosed by weight and age. If you want her to get better, then stand aside and stop interfering."
Wanai’s voice was grim. "I told you, she can’t use male medication. Get her something made for females."
Seeing how stubborn the Leopard was, the doctor wanted to punch him. But the man was in a dangerous state right now—his eyes had become vertical slits, and claws were showing at his fingertips. He was in a semi-bestial state and couldn’t be provoked further.
"What kind of female medication are you talking about?" the doctor asked.
Wanai didn’t know either, but he could piece things together from what he’d heard Gu Ning and the bird say. After a moment of thought, he told the doctor, "She has a genetic disease."
