Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1035

However, Devin’s stern words betrayed his true thoughts. He had not been thinking about the female soldiers in his troop at all.

Instead, the memory of saving Sabrina from Yancy flashed through his mind.

Sabrina’s captors had force-fed her a new drug developed for pharmacological torture, and she almost went mad from how excruciating the pain had been. Even then, Sabrina had recovered from the experience with nothing but willpower.

This bit of pain is nothing compared to what Sabrina experienced.

Upon hearing his words, Henrick blushed in embarrassment and kept his mouth shut.

The doctor then gave them further instructions on what to do as they awaited the nurse’s arrival. He planned to administer IV sedation to help Kira cope with the pain and reduce the inflammation in her wounds.

“N-No! No needles! I don’t want it! D-Dad, give Kiki a hug!”

Kira seemed like the exact opposite of the young woman who had accepted her sedative injection earlier without even blinking an eye.

The sight of a nurse preparing the needle for her IV sedation had Kira sitting up in bed, and her eyes widened with fear.

In the next instant, she had stretched her hands out toward Henrick.

Everyone in the ward stared at her in shock.

Even the usually unperturbed Devin was taken aback at her crazed display.

What the hell is going on?

“Dad, d-do you hate Kiki now? I-I promise I’ll be a good girl. I don’t want the injection!” Kira piqued up when no one responded to her earlier words.

She sounded even more like a kid then; even her tone had become more high-pitched than usual as beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Right then, her gaze was stubbornly locked on Henrick while tears trickled down her face.

She’s gone mad!

Henrick did not know what to make of the situation. He grabbed the doctor’s elbow and asked, “W-What’s happening? Why is she acting like this?”

But the doctor had no idea either.

A full ten seconds passed before he hastily grabbed his stethoscope and examined Kira in earnest.

With the help of several doctors, they produced a diagnosis an agonizing half-hour later.

“Mr. Jadeson, we suspect that your cousin is traumatized from losing her leg. The shock is making her hallucinatory and distorting her memories.”

“What?” Henrick exclaimed in disbelief.

However, when he recalled how horrific Kira’s experience had been, the diagnosis immediately made sense.

“That seems plausible, Major. Didn’t you mention that Ms. Hayes suffered from several traumatic episodes after her poisoning?”

Why did you have to bring her up?
