Chapter 669: HAD A ROUGH DAY

"What about Al? Did he move away from there?" Mark asked in anxiety.
Romano was still rubbing his neck. "If he did, why didn't he come here to us?"
Mark shrugged his shoulder. "Maybe he was scared."
"That coward!" Romano cursed.
"I'm right here." A weak, hoarse voice came from their left side.
They turned around and saw Kilimanjaro and Altan Yul together coming this way. Kilimanjaro was okay but Al was devastated.
Mark asked, "Are you alright?" He didn't know why Al was in such a state.
Romano moved a step away. "Waak! You smell blood!"
Al glared at them and said, "Next time, if you want to guard her, then do it by yourself. I'm not taking any part of that again in my life."
They all saw the vicious red mark around his neck. They realized that their little girl lashed out her anger on Al. They felt sympathy for their comrade.

Mu Lan reached their hideout in two hours. Pedro was already waiting for her. He already heard about her situation. He stood up the moment he saw her.
"Look at you! Let me take care of your wounds." He impatiently came forward to touch her.
"Take care of him first." Mu Lan threw the antidote at him.
Pedro caught it and said, "He can wait."
"I didn't suffer from the pain from nothing. Take care of him first. I'll be inside your room." Mu Lan walked passed him.
She didn't want to show him her weakness but she didn't know that her face was deadly pale. But the moment he saw her, how could he not realize that she was close to break down?
Pedro took the antidote and injected it inside Mu Liang's body. In five minutes, Mu Liang calmed down. He didn't move anymore. He simply fell asleep.
"Someone has to clean his body. He is drenched in sweat." Shintaro came inside the room.
"We can't touch him. Otherwise, if she recalls everything and finds out that we touched her man, we will lose our lives." Pedro cleaned his hands with antibacterial hand sanitizer.
Shintaro scratched his head. "Will she remember anything? If this Mu boy wakes up and find her like this, won't he have a heart attack?"
"I believe in this boy. I only hope he won't be broken heartened seeing her with no memory." Pedro quietly replied. "She will remember everything. All we need is patience. Have you checked on her?"
"She asked me to come here and look at this Mu boy's condition. She must have some lingering feelings for him." Shintaro sighed. "This must be true love."
"Let's go and see her injuries." Pedro walked out of the room.
Both of them entered Pedro's room and found Mu Lan there. She already took off the leg bandage and was examining it.
"How's your shoulder?" Pedro saw her moving so swiftly that he thought that he mistook her shoulder was dislocated.
"I took care of it. It's nothing important. The bullet is still in my thigh. Take it out." Mu Lan felt the bullet was stinging her thigh from the moment she opened her eyes. She bared the pain all along.
Pedro wore a mask and a pair of gloves while replying, "I'll take care of it. Do you want me to give you tranquilizer?"
"No need. My leg seems to be paralyzed." Mu Lan said. She tiredly looked at him, "How's that guy?"
"He is alright. He will wake up in two days. You have soothing to worry about." Pedro touched her injured leg. "Though you leg is paralyzed, you will still feel the pain. Be prepared."

While Shintaro was impatiently waiting for Pedro to come out from his room, the others came back. They all seemed exhausted.
"You guys had a rough day." Shintaro commented.
"Where is she?" Juan asked the moment he saw Shintaro.
"Pedro's room. He is taking out the bullet." Saying that Shintaro covered his nose. "Al, take a bath. You stink!"
"Shut up!" Al walked in the corridor and went to his own room. The whole corridor smelt blood.
At that time, Pedro came out. "Oh, you guys are here. Are you guys injured?" Hearing from Shintaro that she lashed out on his comrades, he wasn't a little bit sad.
"We can take care of our necks." Romano waved his hand. "How's little princess?"
"I took out the bullet and ran a blood test. The drug didn't have any effect on her. So, her present memory loss isn't because of the drug. It's psychological this time as well. I injected her elixir so that she doesn't feel any more pain. She crossed her limit. Before I finished the operation, she fainted and I think she won't wake up in twelve hours. In the meantime, her body will heal." Pedro looked at Carlo. "Prepared a feast."
Carlo gazed passed Pedro and saw Mu Lan's sleeping face. She looked completely different from what she was in Egypt. Then, he rubbed his neck while answered, "Let me sleep for a while." He went back to him room as well. Mark and Shintaro left with him.
Only Juan and Pedro were left in the corridor. "How's the Mu boy?"
"He will live. He will wake up in two days. Her blood kept him alive this long." Pedro answered.
"Will she recover her memory before he wakes up?" Juan couldn't help but ask.
"…It will depend on her entirely." Pedro sighed.
"It's hard for everyone." Juan patted Pedro's shoulder.
"Go and take some rest." Pedro said.
"I will. You too." Juan left.
-------------
The next day, when Mu Lan woke up, she was completely healed. She opened her eyes and found herself in Pedro's bed. While shew as thinking how she ended up here, she recalled what happened previously. She looked down at her right leg and found out that there was no scar let alone any injury.
'Pedro must've used elixir again.' She thought.
Stroking her head, she went to the washroom and took out a spear toothbrush and brushed her teeth. After taking a bath, she came out wearing Pedro's bathrobe. After searching for a dress to wear, she got a blue shirt and wore it before going out of the room.
