Doctor Lou sat watching Xiao Ying's unrelenting rescue efforts from his corner of the room. After that outburst from earlier, he had let her be and she had been going at this for a few hours now...for the most part.
Doctor Lou sighed, "See, it's not working. The moment you let go, she will die... I can still save her soul though. Just let me -"
"NO." Xiao Ying bit out, cutting him off again, "What are you even doing here? I thought you were recovering in seclusion..."
"Hmph, I'm perfectly healthy. Why would I need to recover?" Doctor Lou mumbled with a pout, pulling his long beard. No wonder she had the thought to steal from him. Doctor Lou sighed, "...I'm telling you, this is useless." She was obviously having a difficult time and watching his baby suffer like this was not easy for him either. Despite his cool appearance, he was very attached to his baby, no matter how troublesome she was. Trouble meant spirit, spirit meant alive, therefore, trouble was a good thing.
