Chapter 698
“Haha... You finally showed yourself.”
Sage was reprimanded by Emmanuel but laughed happily. “If you weren’t Mr.
Lowe, how would you know about my health conditions? Why would you be
so worried about me?”
Emmanuel let out a long sigh. He knew he could not keep up the act
anymore, so he hastily helped his comrade onto a chair.
“Haha, Mr. Lowe, I’ll be fine. This is just a scratch to me!” Sage was still
laughing boldly, looking happy indeed!
“Just a scratch?” Emmanuel let out another sigh as he said in regret, “Back
then, you returned from the mission with severe injuries. I had always used
traditional medicine to regulate your health, so if I hadn’t left the Wolf Warrior
Unit so suddenly, your wounds would’ve recovered properly. You wouldn’t
have to end up like this. The prescription back then probably won’t work on
you anymore.”
“Mr. Lowe, what are you saying? It’s not your fault!”
Sage grabbed Emmanuel’s arm and recalled emotionally. “If I were in your
shoes back then, I would make the same decision you did! Yes, it’s true that if
you abandon the mission of your own accord, you’ll be the scum of the battle
world, but if you don’t treasure your comrades‘ lives, you’ll be even worse
than scum! Mr. Lowe, you weren’t at fault! Casper was the one to blame! You
simply became the scapegoat for that b*stard, so when I heard that Casper
was killed in Yeringham, I immediately applied for a transfer here! I never
thought that you’d be the one to avenge yourself!”
Hearing his comrade’s emotional speech and seeing his excitement,
Emmanuel bore complicated feelings in his chest. All his thoughts and
emotions morphed into a relieved smile as he said, “All right, let’s not talk
about the past for now. Now, I have to fix your body.”
Sage had a grateful look in his eyes, and he sighed faintly. “Mr. Lowe, after you
left, I could only look to conventional medicine for help. They diagnosed me
with second–degree disabilities, so I cannot take on high–intensity work. How
can I listen to their nonsense? I’m only 30, and I’m still strong enough. How
can I have second–degree disabilities just like that?”
“Come on, stop trying to act tough. Give me your hand.” Emmanuel
interrupted Sage.
“What are you doing, Mr. Lowe?” Despite not understanding why, he still gave
Emmanuel his hand.
Emmanuel did not say anything as he took Sage’s pulse, but his expression
gradually turned serious. After a while, he immediately frowned and shouted,
“They were already being nice when they told you that you have
second–degree disabilities! You’re in the f*cking first–degree disability range
already! It’s a miracle you’re still alive now!”
He was not joking because Sage’s internal injuries were extremely serious.
Many organs in his body had been severely damaged three years ago, and
now, his heart and kidneys were even showing signs of failure!
Sage shivered slightly, but he soon put on a courageous smile. “Aren’t we
Wolf Warriors always creating miracles? We wouldn’t even be motivated if it
wasn’t a miraculous mission!”
“Quit changing the topic. Have you always been using analgesics to survive?”
Emmanuel continued questioning.
Sage nodded. “The doctor gave me lots of prescriptions before, but none of
them worked, so I decided not to take them anymore.”
Emmanuel was speechless. After some silence, he let out a long sigh. “You’re
alive now because of your strong physical attributes and sheer will. However,
if this continues, you’ll be dead sooner or later.”
Even if he did not say it, Sage knew it as well. However, he never feared death
at all. He had always been doing things he considered worth doing, so it
would not matter if he died one day.
“I have to go back right now to develop a prescription for you. You have to
trust me on the Lenoir case. Just follow my instructions to solve it,” Emmanuel
promised.
“Haha, even if I don’t trust myself, I’ll still trust you, Mr. Lowe. You’re the faith of
us Wolf Warriors, after all! That has never changed!” Sage instantly laughed.
“Don’t worry, as long as I’m in Yeringham, no one can harm even a hair on
your head!”
Emmanuel smiled, then patted Sage on the shoulder as he moved to leave.
