Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King's Mate-Chapter 323: She is going to die
[Margaret’s Perspective]
Benjamin’s laboratory had a very thorough protection system for the experimental subjects. I glanced through the glass window at the researchers in sterilized suits moving back and forth, before finally resting my gaze on the she-wolf lying on the bed.
I had imagined what she would look like now, but when I actually saw her again, I suddenly felt that I had been too merciful before. Her current state was her best possible retribution, as the Moon goddess had not spared her.
Most of Angel’s skin had deteriorated away, with the only flesh still visible on her face and neck. But even that was just a piece of lifeless, worn-out hide!
There used to be a very elderly grandmother in the Silver Moon Pack, the oldest she-wolf I had ever seen, but now I had changed my mind.
"She is kept alive solely by nutrient fluids nowadays, all her organs are at the end stage of failure. My teacher said she could only make it through today at most," a researcher in a white lab coat softly explained to me from behind, slightly bowing.
I nodded lightly in response, signaling that I understood. I looked at Angel, who seemed already dead with her eyes closed, and after a moment of silence I asked, "If you’ve already given her the final diagnosis, then why still try to save her? Isn’t that contradictory?"
Truthfully, after seeing Angel in her current state, I didn’t feel thrilled, nor did I find her pitiable. I thought it was all a making of her own.
I had thoroughly hated her before, even wishing she would just die! But now, that sentiment had shifted slightly; the person who turned her into what she was now should be more detestable, even more deserving of death!
Yes, I’m talking about the MASTER who created "Rebirth" and brought disaster to the werewolves.
"In medical terms, this would be considered final humanistic care. Even the deadliest war criminal in prison has the basic rights to medical care and to be rescued," came the voice of Benjamin, who had just emerged from the resuscitation room.
He took off his medical mask, gave me a slight bow, and continued to explain, "Of course, our relentless efforts to save her are not without other reasons. Aside from her having a lot of research value, there are also people who do not wish for her to die like this."
Upon hearing this, I turned back to look at Benjamin and asked quietly, "So these people you are talking about, do they include yourself?"
Upon hearing my question, Benjamin’s expression paused for a moment, the meaning clear without words; he still cared about the camaraderie of former team members, as Benjamin was a Lycan who valued relationships deeply.
As I turned back with a light smile and a nod, I continued, "I understand, she was after all your teammate and comrade in arms. It’s normal for you to not want her to die in such a tragic way."
"I won’t pursue these matters. I just want to know, besides you assault team and personal guard force veterans, who else cares about whether she lives or dies? Is it the family influence behind her and Elliot? Are they still not giving up on her?"
As if he had anticipated my reaction, Benjamin let out a slight sigh of relief, then replied, "Yes Your Highness, aside from us veterans, Angel’s mother Judy has been very concerned about her condition. The lab occasionally receives various valuable items sent by her. Of course, we haven’t taken anything from her, nor have we disclosed any information about Angel’s condition, His Majesty is aware of this."
I had no intention of judging Benjamin, on the contrary, I trusted him and his character very much. I shook my head with a chuckle and glanced at him, "I’m not accusing you of corruption or bribery, so why so serious and tense? Okay, I get it, relax a bit."
I said, taking a deep breath and looked at Benjamin, "You don’t have to worry about Judy’s side. If there are any problems, have her come directly to me and Donald, we’ll deal with it. Additionally, I wanted to ask about Elliot’s status. I didn’t see him last time at the Holy Medical Pavilion. I heard from Dean Andrew that he was discharged early?"
"Elliot’s injuries have fully healed, and after being discharged he probably went home. If Your Highness needs to contact him, I can relay the message," replied Benjamin.
At this, I raised an eyebrow and laughed softly, "It’s not that I need to see him, but Donald has another mission for him. Of course, that includes you as well."
Seeing the puzzled look on Benjamin’s face, my smile grew, "I’ll let you in on it then. Donald and I are planning a trip to Lilo Sea, and you and Elliot are on the list of candidates to accompany us. This is all confidential for now, remember to keep it secret!"
