"Restraint?" His cold voice cut through the chamber like a blade. Slowly, he lifted his gaze to them, sharp and dangerous. "If any of you dare bind her like an animal, you will regret it. I tell you, you will regret it..."
The physicians bowed their heads immediately, trembling, adjusting their words. "Of course, Master. We meant only for her safety. We will watch her closely."

"Wake up soon, Yueyao. I promised I would never let you get hurt again. Even if I have to tear the world apart, I will keep that promise. Please, wake up..."
