SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203: Men In Black.

Moments later, the door opened once again, and Lyra walked back into the room with a man dressed in a white coat. Two doctors and several nurses followed behind him, carrying medical equipment as they quickly moved toward Kael’s bed.

Lyra remained near the corner of the room, watching quietly as they began their examinations.

They checked his pulse, scanned his body, examined his eyes, and ran several tests to make sure there were no lingering complications from the injuries that had left him unconscious.

Kael remained still throughout the process, allowing the medical staff to do their work.

He could feel the faint pressure of the various scanning devices passing over his body, but nothing particularly painful.

After several minutes, the doctors finally finished. The leading doctor glanced through the results displayed on his tablet, scrolling through the information before giving a small nod.

"He’s fine. His body has recovered from the injuries, and there doesn’t seem to be any internal damage either. From what I can see, he’s just about ready to be discharged. We only need to run a few more tests to be completely certain, then there shouldn’t be any reason for him to remain here."

Lyra immediately relaxed upon hearing those words.

"Thank you, Doctor."

The doctor gave her a reassuring nod before turning around. The nurses followed him out of the room, leaving the door to close behind them. For a few seconds, silence settled over the room.

Kael glanced toward Lyra.

She was still standing there, her arms folded loosely in front of her as she stared at him.

There was something strange about her expression, something he couldn’t quite place. She hadn’t said much since returning with the doctors.

Kael eventually broke the silence.

"Hey, aren’t you going to say anything to me?"

The moment the words left his mouth, something flew toward his face.

Kael reacted on instinct.

His hand shot upward and caught the object before it could smack him in the forehead. He lowered his gaze and realized he was holding Lyra’s phone.

"Why?"

Lyra’s voice trembled slightly.

"Why do you have to speak?"

Kael blinked.

Lyra turned her face away, her hands tightening against her clothes as she tried desperately to hold herself together.

"I was trying so hard to hold back my tears."

Kael stared at her for a moment before a small smile appeared on his face.

"It’s okay if you want to cry."

"No."

Lyra immediately tilted her head upward, staring at the ceiling as though physically forcing the tears back into her eyes.

"You’re the one who got hurt. Why should I be the one crying?"

Her voice became quieter toward the end.

"I’m just glad you’re alive."

For a moment, she remained like that, her eyes fixed on the ceiling. Then she lowered her head again. The tears that had threatened to fall were gone, replaced by a serious expression that made Kael instinctively feel that something unpleasant was coming.

Lyra stared directly at him.

"No more new Rift exploration for you."

Kael’s smile disappeared.

"Come on."

"Ever again."

"Lyra."

"No."

"At least let me explain."

"No."

Kael sighed.

The glare she gave him made it painfully obvious that arguing wasn’t going to get him anywhere.

"Okay, okay. Whatever you say, missus."

Lyra continued staring at him for another few seconds before finally looking away.

Kael chuckled softly before his expression became more serious.

"Anyways, what happened?"

He shifted slightly against the hospital bed, his brows furrowing.

"How did I end up in the hospital? And how long was I out for?"

He paused.

There was something bothering him.

His memories felt strange.

Scrambled.

He could remember entering the Rift. He could remember the cave. He could remember the strange creature that resembled an enormous brain. He could remember fighting it and the strange sensation that followed.

But there was something missing.

A section of his memories seemed to have been cut away.

He couldn’t tell what had happened during that missing period, only that something should have been there.

Lyra remained silent for a moment.

"I don’t know what happened either. The Association is still investigating."

She pulled a chair closer to the bed and sat down.
