Lock You In My Heart

Lance was looking forward to it. After all, if Bryce woke up earlier, they would be able to leave the damned place sooner.

He couldn’t bear to stay in this awful place a second longer. All he wanted was to leave and never come back. And if he had to talk about business with Bain, he wouldn’t want to come here personally.

Lance was willing to try Doctor Maniac’s method. He was desperate. After all, Bryce had been unconscious for quite some time now. Lance was willing to try anything.

“Look for a spot where he doesn’t have any bruising or injuries and hit him hard. That might wake him up.” A deranged laughter burst out of Doctor Maniac’s throat.

Lance rolled his eyes at his insanity. He turned on his heels and walked inside, ignoring the psychotic doctor.

‘Is this man really a fucking doctor? How could he suggest such a thing? Bryce is unconscious for fuck’s sake!’

Lance had thought of the same thing before.

“Don’t be upset. I meant it. It might help. But the choice to do it is yours,” Doctor Maniac exclaimed as he hurried to follow Lance. He was afraid that Lance would be upset.

“Aren’t you supposed to be a doctor? You shouldn’t joke about those things.” Lance turned to look at him.

Bryce’s injuries were severe. His body couldn’t possibly stand the beating. If he really did wake up after it, he would probably die after regaining consciousness.

“I am a doctor. But my license was revoked by the International Medical Association. The people here aren’t afraid of my treatments. I treat them my way. Besides, I’m the only doctor here.” Doctor Maniac shrugged. He was ignorant of his attitude.

Bain’s for lunch? Why are you in such an awful mood? Did Bain say something?” Doctor Maniac’s confinement in his hospital made him feel quite lonely.
