However, Devin’s stern words betrayed his true thoughts. He had not been thinking about the female soldiers in his troop at all.

Instead, the memory of saving Sabrina from Yancy flashed through his mind.

Sabrina’s captors had force-fed her a new drug developed for pharmacological torture, and she almost went mad from how excruciating the pain had been. Even then, Sabrina had recovered from the experience with nothing but willpower.

This bit of pain is nothing compared to what Sabrina experienced.

Upon hearing his words, Henrick blushed in embarrassment and kept his mouth shut.

The doctor then gave them further instructions on what to do as they awaited the nurse’s arrival. He planned to administer IV sedation to help Kira cope with the pain and reduce the inflammation in her wounds.

“N-No! No needles! I don’t want it! D-Dad, give Kiki a hug!”

Kira seemed like the exact opposite of the young woman who had accepted her sedative injection earlier without even blinking an eye.

The sight of a nurse preparing the needle for her IV sedation had Kira sitting up in bed, and her eyes widened with fear.

In the next instant, she had stretched her hands out toward Henrick.

Everyone in the ward stared at her in shock.

Even the usually unperturbed Devin was taken aback at her crazed display.

What the hell is going on?

“Dad, d-do you hate Kiki now? I-I promise I’ll be a good girl. I don’t want the injection!” Kira piqued up when no one responded to her earlier words.
