Chapter 2026
The ambulance sped all the way to Zamri Hospital, and the medical staff were quickly discussing the condition of the girl who was just brought in. "Her vitals aren't stable. There's plenty of shrapnel in her body-surgery would decide if she survives, but her chances don't look good..."
"What about the other two?"
"Nothing we can do. All vitals lost upon arrival..."
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
Nurse Faith quickly stopped Frank, seeing that he was trying to get inside the ER despite being covered in blood.
Turning toward a doctor, she explained, "Oh, he's a patient too, Dr. Zinder-he was carrying the girl all on his own when we found them. He's covered
in blood, and there's not a part of him that's fine, but he's somehow still alive and kicking."
With that, she started pulling Frank toward an ER, snapping, "You're very hurt yourself. Don't go away-let us help you!"
To her dismay, Frank seemed not to understand and was insisting on charging into the ER.
Nurse Faith therefore had to muster her patience and reason with Frank again like he was a child. "It's fine! Our doctors will save her. Dr. Zinder would operate on her, so don't disturb him if you want her to survive, okay?"
Frank, however, seemed not to understand again, as he was staring fixedly at Dr. Zinder while he scrubbed up.
He was at once anxious-despite being in bad shape, he could tell right away that Dr. Zinder was half-baked for a doctor.
Pushing Nurse Faith away, he rushed into the ER and scrubbed up as everyone watched.
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
Dr. Zinder was at first shocked before he promptly ordered, "Quick, get security! Get that madman out of here!"
"Buzz off!"
Frank's eyes flashed murderously, leaving everyone around him, including Dr. Zinder, flinching.
"Y-You bastard..." Dr. Zinder stammered. "You brought her here, and you're stopping us from operating on her?! You're..." However, everyone was left hesitating as they could see that Frank was murderous despite being thoroughly maimed. None of them dared to approach as Frank really looked crazy and just might attack them.

Frank suddenly coughed a mouthful of black blood just then, and it sizzled as it corroded the floor tiles. While everyone else was left flinching again, Frank pushed himself to walk up to Kat and fumbled around.
It was only then that he realized the medical satchel he always carried around was gone after the string of explosions before, and his clothing was shredded.
He looked just like a barbarian...
Silent for a moment, Frank finally glanced at his fingers, where he wore a silver ring, which carried a single drop of Celestial Dew.
It was a treasure he got from
Titus
ne
Lionheart, capable of altering all things and was just as valuable as the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom that Frank's mentor left for him.
And now, that was really besides the point with Kat's life at stake.
Watching as Kat's vital signs weakened, Frank bit through the
silver ring, swallowing half the
Celestial Dew and pouring the rest into Kat's mouth.
With that done, he looked around, and found a box of acupoint needles on one of the shelves.
The ones he carried around were in pieces after he had been knocked around by the explosions earlier.
