Chapter 1668
“Tobias!”
Queena rushed into the house, grabbing Tobias by the arm and pulling him outside in a hurry.
“What are you doing at my ce?”
Tobias’ gaze couldn’t help but fall on the man lying in the bed.
The man was in bad shape, looking worse off than the heartthrob back at his own ce, but he was strikingly handsome even
just lying there. Tobias couldn’t help but wonder what he’d look like with his eyes open.
“Queena, who’s this guy?”
He hadn’t seen Queena in five years. When he was six, she went abroad for her studies, the only one from the vige to do so,
and not just for any degree, but for a master’s — she was the pride of the vige.
“He’s a friend, Tobias. You can’t tell anyone he''s here, okay? It’s our little secret.”
Tobias nodded, “Got it. Is he your boyfriend or something?”
Ahint of blush crept onto Queena’s face, “It''splicated.”
Tobias burst into a grin, “Aha, you’ve got the hots for him! Don’t worry, my lips are sealed.”
“But what did youe here for?”
“The good-looking guy at my ce is in trouble; his wound reopened. You gottae check it out.”
Queena nudged him out the door, “Alright, just wait outside for a sec, I''ll be right there.”
She closed the door behind her and returned to the inner room.
Asmall window was the only source of light, but it let in enough sunshine to reveal the man’s features clearly.
Anyone else might recognize him - it wasn.
Queena checked his forehead for fever.
The fever had broken, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she found herself staring at his face, lost in thought. Bringing him here had been a harrowing journey.
First a helicopter ride, then a smuggler''s boat, followed by a dinghy to her hometown.
The moment his face appeared on the research facility''s screen, she was smitten.
She had watched him, hidden in the shadows, as he sparred with Experiment No. 8.
When the earthquake struck, she instinctively grabbed his hand without a second thought.
He didn’t know who she was and froze, but there was no time to push her away.
Thendslide swept them far away; she was lucky to escape unscathed, but hey close by, severely injured.
In the ensuing chaos, shemandeered a helicopter and flew him to safety.
The ce was swarming with people that day, so crowded that nobody noticed her escape.
Five years ago, she joined the research facility as a researcher, conducting numerous experiments on human subjects.
Now, even without her equipment or medication, her medical skills were exceptional, and she was certain she could make him
fall for her.
When he woke up, they would live a peaceful life together in the vige.
The thought excited Queena, a smile curling on her lips.
Tobias’ voice came from outside, more urgent this time.
“Queena, you ready yet?”
She coveredn with a nket, “Coming!”
She followed Tobias down the path to his house.
Abner was awake, his face a pale shade.

Abner didn’t seem to notice Queena, his eyes shut as she tended to his wound.
After a few minutes, Queena spoke up.

Abner leaned against the bedpost, his eyes on Queena’s hands.
“You''re the vige doctor?”
“Yeah.”
A doctor with calluses that heavy on her hands?
And those were clearly the calluses of someone who wielded a weapon.
