"This is bad! Kuang Ye is awake!"
To prevent Duke Kuang Lin from blowing their cover once Liang He arrived, Huo An—who had already received an advance message from Hoder—started rehearsing their story with the Duke.
They had just reached an agreement when they heard Doctor Xu Yi shouting from the door of the treatment room. They rushed over immediately.
"Why is he awake so soon?"
Based on the dosage of anesthetics, Kuang Ye shouldn't have fully regained consciousness for another few hours.
Xu Yi hurriedly pulled the treatment room door shut. Heart pounding, he patted his chest in lingering fear and slumped against the door, sliding down to the floor. Even then, he couldn't stop throwing anxious glances back inside.
"Kuang Ye's guard is too high," Xu Yi gasped. "Even with the anesthetics, he forced himself to fight the effects."
