People are in Star Iron, and the game begins with the unsheathing of Heavenly Fire.

Given such a life experience, it's only natural that Ron developed a personality that doesn't hold empathy for others.

Not to mention Seele, whom he had adopted for some time, even Mebius, with whom he had gone through thick and thin for decades, he always kept a respectful distance and avoided her.

For him, any relationship he maintains with anyone will eventually vanish like smoke.

The life of a time traveler dictates that he can never form genuine friendships with anyone, nor can he develop true feelings for anyone.

Of course, he wouldn't reveal this reason to anyone; he needed to find another suitable reason to reject Seele's persistence.

Faced with Seele's obsessive, almost obsessive, approaching-him-while-naked figure, Ron spoke slowly and coldly:

"what are you saying?"

Seele's once burning gaze suddenly froze. She slowly raised her head and felt that the man in front of her had instantly reverted to his old, cold and indifferent demeanor, looking at her as if she were a stray dog ​​he had picked up.

That familiar gaze, and that indifferent expression.

It was already etched into Seele's soul.

A person's behavior, speech, and even personality can be faked, but instincts can never be hidden.

Sure enough it was him!

You can’t go wrong!

Seele was instantly jolted as if by lightning, instinctively shrinking back, as if she had suddenly returned to many years ago, when she would cower in a corner every day, watching the other person.

"Why...why are you pretending to have amnesia?"

Seele hesitated for a long time before finally speaking cautiously.

Now that she knew the man in front of her was the doctor she once knew, she had no idea what kind of emotions she was feeling.

She felt she should be angry, furious, and want to chop the other person's head off again.

But in reality, she didn't have such thoughts; instead, she had feelings that she herself couldn't understand.

Just being stared at with such cold eyes made her heart pound and her chest heave uncontrollably.

“I wasn’t pretending,” Ron said quietly. “I have indeed forgotten those things, I only vaguely remember bits and pieces.”

"This……"

Hearing Ron's words, Seele felt a little disappointed for no reason.

She instinctively felt suspicious, but at the same time, she wasn't particularly puzzled, after all, she remembered personally cutting off the other person's head.

It's already a miracle that the other person is standing alive and well in front of me now; losing my memory is an understandable price to pay.

Thinking of this, Seele couldn't help but slowly speak:

"You've really forgotten everything? Then do you still remember... what I really am to you?"

As Seele spoke, she inexplicably became a little nervous, staring intently at the man in front of her.

She longed for an answer she could accept, but also knew she was unlikely to get a good explanation.

After all, if the other party really cared about her, they shouldn't have completely abandoned her back then, not even bothering to look at her.

The other party treated me like a stray dog ​​I picked up, or like a slave... without any affection whatsoever.

"I don't know about the past."

Ron did not answer.

He knew very well that whatever he said at that moment could not be correct, because people care more about reality than words.

The other party is unlikely to believe anything you say, so it's better to say nothing at all.

"really……"

Seele's face showed disappointment.

She stood up unsteadily, dressed dejectedly, and left the room without looking back, despite the biting wind.

"stop."

A cold voice came from behind me.

Seele was startled by what the other person suddenly said and instinctively turned around.

"Where are you going?" Ron asked coldly.

“I…what business is it of yours where I go…” Faced with Ron’s even harsher attitude than before, Seele felt a pang of grievance, and a blush instinctively rose on her face. “Anyway, to you I’m just a stray dog ​​you picked up on a whim…”

Seeing Seele's expression, Ron realized his reaction had been too cold, but he remained true to his style and slowly said, "You can't leave here now."

"Why?" Seele didn't expect the other person to say such a thing, and her face instinctively showed confusion.

Her mind was instantly flooded with memories of the past, including the scene of Ron capturing her and forcing her to work as a servant through various means.

Does he want me to be his slave again, like before?!

Do not!

Seele, Seele, you are not the weak person you used to be. How could you let such a bastard do that to you again?!

Thinking this through, Seele tried her best to appear resolute.

But for some reason, her heart started beating even faster than before, and she even felt a strange joy...

"Are you planning to lock me up again?" Seele asked tentatively.

“Why would I do such a thing?” Ron asked, puzzled by Seele’s reaction. “What good would it do me?”

"you……"

Seele didn't expect the other party to put on such a gentlemanly act at a time like this.

They used to bully me in all sorts of ways, never holding back!

Various thoughts flashed through Seele's mind. She believed that everything Ron was doing now was just a disguise, all to lower her guard.

So she forced herself to leave the clinic, even if she was injured, she insisted on venturing into the cold wind.

However, her body couldn't keep up with her will.

The girl had only taken a few steps with bravado when she suddenly turned pale and collapsed to the ground.

However, just as she was about to make intimate contact with the cold ground, a pair of hands slowly supported her body and gently embraced her.

Seele instinctively showed a nervous expression.

At that moment, she recalled her past experience of being hung up and starved for a whole day because she hadn't done her housework properly...

Will my current behavior upset him again?

Are they planning to punish me again?

However, to Seele's surprise, Ron did not do anything to her after picking her up. Instead, he calmly carried her to the bed and covered her with the blanket again.

"I told you to stop because you're not fully recovered yet. If you leave before your wounds heal, don't come back as a ghost and die on the road."

"This……"

She still didn't believe Ron's reason.

Next, Ron rummaged through the medicine cabinet next to him and found some medicine.

Although this is a pet hospital and most of the medications inside are for treating pet diseases, medications for treating external injuries are generally interchangeable between pets and humans.

Ron quickly found some medicinal herbs that could speed up wound healing and applied them to Seele, who was lying on the bed, all while remaining calm and making no unnecessary movements.

"you……"

Seele couldn't understand any of this. The Ron she remembered was an incredibly cold and ruthless person. How could he possibly do something as kind as applying medicine to her by himself?

Could it be that I really made a mistake?

Chapter 84 Is this child perhaps in heat?

While Seele was in a state of confusion, Ron gently applied medicine to her wound and skillfully wrapped it with bandages little by little.

He had no intention of using the [Healing] energy bottle; the power of abundance had obvious side effects, and he preferred simpler treatments for ordinary ailments.

At the same time, Seele stared blankly at the other person's skillful movements, and looked at the other person's silent and indifferent attitude as always, her face inexplicably flushed.

She felt inexplicably shy and instinctively wanted to avoid the other person's gaze.

"Don't move!" Ron grabbed her and stopped her from dodging. "If you're sick, just lie down and rest. It'll be troublesome if your wound gets worse."

"This……"

Although the attitude was extremely bad and the tone was as cold as ever, Seele inexplicably felt a little bit of concern from the other person.

Is he concerned about me?

Or is all of this just a facade?

In the chaos, Seele couldn't help but speak up:

"You...why did you do this?"

"What do you mean, why?" Ron looked completely bewildered. "As a doctor, isn't it only natural to treat injured patients?"

"But you're a veterinarian!"

"Are pet doctors not considered doctors and unable to treat illnesses?"

Ron spoke calmly, instinctively intending to use a well-reasoned argument to refute the fact that the veterinarian treated and saved lives, just as he had done with March 7.

However, Seele was not as persistent as she was on March 7th.

She simply lowered her head, her face flushed, lost in complex thoughts.

Although his attitude was as infuriating as ever... as a doctor, he was surprisingly gentle, something he'd never done to me before...

As Seele pondered this, the veterinarian unexpectedly touched some sensitive areas of her body, causing a blush to instinctively rise on the girl's face.

"Ah~~ What are you doing?!"

Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that she would one day make such a shameful sound. Seele's face flushed red, and she slapped Ron's hand away forcefully!

"I'm applying medicine to you," Ron said calmly. "Who told you to have so many wounds? If you want to heal, you'd better lie still!"
