Jiang Wan and Chu Yu paused in their words. The moment they saw the person clearly, they hesitated, not daring to connect the patient in front of them with the captain in their impression.
Dry.
gray.
The originally fiery red short hair had lost its luster now and looked like dead grass.
However, her skin is not as dry as her hair. Instead, it is full of vitality. Her figure has not changed much. Overall, there is nothing wrong except that she looks weaker.
It's just that there is no big change in his face, but his sharp temperament looks much softer now, and he can't see the sharpness and coldness he once had.
From a powerful warrior to an ordinary woman who can be seen everywhere.
"Hey, you are here."
"Yeah, I brought these two guys who were fighting on the bed."
On the contrary, the conversation between Margaret and Yun Shuchang was really relaxed and comfortable, and there was nothing strange about it.
"What are you still doing? Come in."
Turning back with a smile and waving his hand, Yun Shuchang went directly to Margaret's window, reached out and touched her gray hair, and marveled:
"Okay, you still have money to dye your hair. How long will it take to recover?"
Seeing the two of them interacting as usual, Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment before walking in, standing next to the hospital bed and observing.
Turning her head, Margaret avoided the downward movement of her vice-captain's hand and curled her lips:
"It depends on the situation. Anyway, according to the doctor's estimate, it will probably take about three months."
Chu Yu heard the implication, tilted his head and asked:
"What about our team during this period?"
For this question, the deputy captain Yun Shuchang answered for her and said with a smile:
"It's holiday!"
"Although the process was not very good, our mission was successful in the end. In addition, there were injured people, so the superiors gave us a period of free movement."
"How pitiful! Those office guys still have a little bit of humanity."
Moving her arm covered with a special plaster bandage, she turned her head to look at Margaret, who was smiling slightly, and said jokingly:
"Captain, do you want to take advantage of this precious holiday to fall in love? As promised before, I will introduce you to a man!"
laugh.
Disgusted, she reached out and pushed Yun Shuchang, who had become lazy due to the holiday, and Margaret smiled disdainfully:
"You're going to introduce me to someone? I'm not interested in the type you like!"
"Besides, before introducing a man to me, you should first find a suitable one for yourself."
With a frozen expression, Yun Shuchang straightened up and looked at the scarred captain with a resentful look.
She said nothing, but seemed to say everything.
it is more than words.
But Margaret ignored it at all, she joked:
"Don't do this, we are different."
"I'm not in a hurry. It doesn't matter whether I look for it or not. Your family is asking for you quite frequently, right?"
Yun Shuchang pursed his lips, and his whole body collapsed. He turned his head and stopped looking at this heart-wrenching woman.
Ignoring her, Margaret looked at Jiang and Wan who had calmed down and said:
"Although there are no restrictions on you during this period, I still recommend that you act together and continue to cultivate a tacit understanding."
"The side effects have made my strength return to the level of ordinary people. However, my strength is gradually restored. Maybe it won't take that long for me to return to the team."
"As for the mandatory mission, the mission rewards will be distributed according to the old rules, and everything will be as usual."
Jiang Wan did not speak. She had been silent since entering the door, listening silently.
When she heard that the mission was successful, she wanted to ask, but she kept quiet.
Looking at the silent two young team members and the veteran vice-captain, Margaret's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and she turned to say:
"I will stay in Bincheng for treatment during this period, and will be transferred after I am completely stable. If you have anything, just come to this room and see me."
"I'm a little sleepy now. You should go first. I have other things to deal with."
Without any emotion, Margaret issued the eviction order.
Yun Shuchang nodded immediately after hearing this, picked up her crutches, and walked out of the ward first.
"When it comes to finding a man, remember to tell me when you feel attracted to me, and I will help you check it."
"Then let's go first, you have a good rest."
As if he already knew the outcome, Yun Shuchang left quietly without any delay or hesitation.
Frowning her brows, Jiang Wan wanted to say something more, but was dragged away by Yun Shuchang who was walking forward.
There was no resistance, but the moment she walked out the door, she turned back and stared at Margaret's gray hair carefully, biting her lip.
When Chu Yu finally went out, she turned back silently, with a trace of confusion and hesitation in her eyes.
Then, she was defeated by the captain's calm gaze, turned around and walked out the door with her head lowered.
Click.
Quietness returned to the ward, and the anger in the room disappeared as Jiang Wan and the others left.
The warm environment and facilities, as well as high-end testing equipment, look very comfortable. Patients recuperating here will definitely receive all-round care and treatment.
This is how it should be.
Now, the only sound that could be heard in the quiet room was the sound of suppressed breathing that gradually became heavier.
Her expression remained smiling, but Margaret's hands on the quilt gradually tightened and her veins were exposed.
But the quilt was only deformed and not directly torn.
Compared with the arm that could easily swing the giant axe, it was now so weak and weak.
Weakly letting go of her hand and looking at the crack marks on the quilt, Margaret's expression gradually changed.
Full of resentment and powerlessness.
"This is really..."
Leaning her body back, Margaret slumped on the backrest of the hospital bed.
The team members have left, and Margaret no longer has to maintain her dignity as captain, nor does she have to comfort others.
She lied.
The current situation is not as easy as she said.
The side effects of burning the bloodline appeared. Although she saved her life, the remaining red dragon bloodline in her body was almost negligible.
Facing the invincible Fallen Angel, Margaret did not hold back at all in order to cover the retreat of her teammates.
It only lasted a few minutes, but what was consumed and overdrawn was her more than ten years of accumulation and future potential.
It may be possible to recover, but the possibility is very slim.
"Fortunately, fortunately, everyone is fine."
Her sacrifice was not in vain, all team members survived and no one suffered irreversible damage.
Even Yun Shuchang, who was most seriously injured, only needed to rest for a while to recover.
"very nice."
very nice……
Click click click.
Clenching her teeth, Margaret suppressed her urge to roar.
As a warrior, will she be willing to accept this result?
impossible.
Damn...
Damn it!
So much effort, so much sweat, will be wasted like this.
Anger smelt in the chest, and mania erupted in the heart.
His seemingly gentle eyes became sharp again, and he raised his head and stared at the ceiling.
Tick tock.
A strange liquid slipped from her face, fell on the quilt and bloomed into flowers.
tears.
Margaret had not cried for more than ten years. She had sworn before her parents' graves that she would never shed tears again, but she never thought that such a day would come.
"How weak..."
At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door outside the ward.
Dong Dong.

I fell into the trap of looking for fanart. I spent a lot of time searching, but many of the results failed to pass the review (very annoying). Why do people draw characters with so few clothes? (bushi) I managed to find a few that were almost the same.
Avatar. And I am very busy today. The second update has not been completed yet, so I will update it a little later.
