Lorraine woke up and realized that she's not in Qian Xu arms but Zi Yan.
"Hold on a little longer. We'll arrive at the hospital soon."
Zi Yan who had always been well-dressed was covered all over with bloodstains. He seemed somehow awkward.
Lorraine looked away without saying a word and saw them in the flying car. The storm was still there. Consul manually drove the flying car through sandy storm. "As fish bait, even if I survive, I won't appreciate you."
Zi Yan smiled bitterly and confessed: "It was my idea to use you as bait to draw Dragon Blood unit out. Chen Sha opposed but I insisted."
Consul's voice came through: "Zi Yan only suggested. It was my decision. I also ordered Chen Sha to operate cooperation."
"Because Consul promised Chen Sha to keep you safe, that Chen Sha then accepted to transfer and left Big Twin Moon."
"How about Qian Xu's safety?"
No one said anything.
Lorraine stared at Zi Yan painfully: "When you knew Qian Xu came to help me advanced. You did not respond at all. Did you already decide to sacrifice him?"
Zi Yan knew that this question was absolutely unavoidable and had to answer directly: "At that time, I thought that it would be an advantage to the plan, pushing boat in the direction of the current. I had no objections and absolutely never thought of sacrificing him! Qian Xu is the best soldier in the Odin Federation. With his ability, he could certainly protect himself. I didn't expect him to suddenly mutated change."
It seemed that Zi Yan didn't lie. Lorraine's eyes gradually dimmed, and she stared out the car window without saying a word. Not long after, her eyelids drooped and she lost consciousness.

Inside the ward
Chu Mo was examining Lorraine when a person suddenly broke in. He looked back and saw that it was Chen Sha.
Chen Sha dressed in a military uniform covered in dust, apparently just arrived. He strode in front of Lorraine, and carefully looked at Lorraine's torn arm. The wounds were uneven and very hideous.
"Zi Yan said that a mutation change beast bit. Don't worry. There was no nerve-damaging poison. We can restore it as before..."
Before Chu Mo finished his word, Chen Sha suddenly turned around and punched Zi Yan who had just walked in.
This was not the first time they both had a fight, but it was the first time Zi Yan did not evade. With a fist in the middle of his face, Zi Yan was hit and flew out. The whole person knelt on the ground, with blood in his mouth and nose.
Chen Sha followed and didn't stop. Zi Yan did still did not evade. Chu Mo simply ignored them and continued to examine Lorraine, "Can we do the surgery tomorrow?"
Lorraine nodded
Chu Mo stared at Lorraine and evaluated for a while then slowly said, "I am confident that the surgery will be successful. But you are also a doctor, you must know clearly that surgery's success is just only the beginning of the treatment, not the end. You must work hard to make the newly growth arm become your own arm."
Lorraine did not utter a word, but Chen Sha suddenly stopped beating Zi Yan.
Chu Mo looked at a difficult to bear badly battered Zi Yan who was sitting on the floor. He sighed helplessly, lifted him up, and took him to the treatment room.
Chen Sha walked to Lorraine bedside and looked at her like he wanted to say something but then hesitated.
Lorraine slowly lay down, clumsy pulled up the sheet to cover her face and her whole body as if saying 'Don't say anything and I don't want to hear anything.'

The surgery was successful as Chu Mo guaranteed. Lorraine's arm had been completely restored to its original form. However, the regenerated arm must undergo repeated exercises to truly integrate with the body. Lorraine was like a pool of stagnant water. She often sat still for a whole day, not doing anything.
Zi Yan walked into the ward and looked at Lorraine who was like a wooden man.
Lorraine was as if he didn't exist at all and didn't respond even a bit.
"Lorraine, Qian Xu's death was an accident..."
"Get lost!"
Lorraine didn't want to hear to him at all, but Zi Yan sat by her bed and wanted to communicate seriously. "The Archon did take advantage of you, but he never even think of sacrificing you. Even if you don't believe me, may be you remember that the Federation had exchanged one planet for you. Consul is such a brainiest man. How could he make a losing trade?"
Lorraine lay down, pulled up the sheet to cover her head, showing that she didn't want to listen.
"Lorraine, you can shut me out, you can shut Chen Sha out...but don't use this attitude towards Consul!" Zi Yan recalled where Lorraine pointed the gun at Consul.
"Consul was a slave bought by Professor An from another planet. When he first arrived in Odin, he couldn't even read proper words. He had no backer in Odin Federation, but he entered military from the bottom as a cannon fodder and became a famous general by relying on his own. Later he became the youngest consul in federal history. It can be said that no one in the entire Federation can fight better than him. However, Consul has always opposed war and has even been working hard to restore relationship between mutant and other humans."
Zi Yan said earnestly: "You are the princess of Al Empire. How many battles after battles had been fought between two star nations for hundreds of years, and how many people had died? In Odin Federation, you are the one who is the hated 'difference'! But, since you arrived at Odin Federation, even if there was not few of unpleasantness, but no one dared to really hurt you. Feng Lin took care of you in every possible way from the beginning. Chen Sha obviously unwilling, but still sacrificed his marriage to give you protection. Do you think all of this was just falling from the sky?
You applied to participate in the genetic research of the Research Institute. There was three dukes disagreed, but during your years of work in the Research Institute, you didn't had any troubles. You don't really think that dukes of Odin Federation are so easy to deal with and had not even the slightest private hidden plan? Your strength training, you went to medical school, also your 'Luo Xun' status, if it was not for Consul to approve, even Feng Lin wished to support you and kept secrets for you, Zong Li, Bai Li Cang, and others would not approve.
Lorraine, I hope you understand. In Odin Federation, Consul's determination can protect you and can destroy you. Don't do anything disrespectful to him again! This is not only your matters, but two star nations and even between mutants and humans!"
Lorraine was silent as if she hadn't heard it at all. Thinking that she became like this because one mutant, Zi Yan mood became complicated. "Lorraine, if you must hate, then hate me. It was me who proposed the plan. It was me who set up the trap."
