The Luna Is Gone by Angelique Quinn

Chapter 57 Diana's pov | saw Ryley walking towardswith his hands covering his abdomen, blood gushing out from his fingertips.

Every step he took was difficult.

“Diana...” Ryley lifted his eyelids and glanced at me.

Then he could no longer hold on and his body suddenly fell forward.

“Ryley!” | was shocked and ran towards him in panic, helping him up from the bloody ground..

Ryley opened his eyes, but his voice was intermittent.

“An hour ago,... a group of people suddenly broke in. They killed my subordinates. and all the patients, I...” Ryley vomited a mouthful of blood.

“Stop talking!” | quickly stopped him and tore off a piece of fabric from the hem of my clothes, wrapping it around Ryley’s abdomen to stop the bleeding.

“Don’t... don’t you want to know what exactly happened?” Ryley lowered his eyes and looked atwith a complex expression.

Surprised, puzzled, or something else...

| didn’t continue to explore, and just whispered, “I sure do, but your life is more important.” apm “| said, stop talking,” | shouted.

Ryley silently closed his mouth.

| helped Ryley to the wall and crouched down in front of him with my back to him.

“Cup.” There was a moment of silence.

| turned my head to look at Ryley and found that he seemed resistant tocarrying 100 away “If you don’t deal with your wound, you will die,” | warned.

Tobserved Ryley’s wound and it was a wolf claw The my perdaldy wanted to penetrate his abdomen, but he didn’t succeed Hyley’s eyebrown loosened and twisted again, evenly struggling Bot in the end, under my urging, he still placed his arms on my shoulder By the t| tried my best to take Ryley out of the basement, he had already fallen into a coma It wasn’t until an hour later that he woke up again.

A weak cough echoed from the hospital bed | walked to Ryley’s side and asked him how he was feeling now.

“1” Ryley wanted to speak, but his voice was hoarse.

He frowned in displeasure and instinctively glanced at the nearby water dispenser | guessed Ryley wanted to drink water, but he was too embarrassed to direct me.

| sighed and got up to get a glass of water.

Ryley lifted the blanket and tried to sit up, but | stopped him.

“Don’t move around.” | looked at him seriously.

Ryley lay back, his eyes fixed on the glass in my hand.

“You can’t drink water yet,” | whispered. “Your wound is in the abdomen. That claw injured your intestines. So it will take at least two hours for you to drink” Ryley’s gaze shifted away from the glass and landed on my face.

“...It's okay,” he toldin a hoarse voice.

| was not sure if he meant ‘physically’ or the water, but I didn’t continue to ask.

As Healer, | roughly knew his current situation.

| placed the glass on the bedside table, took a clean cotton swab, and soaked it with Water.

Ryley stared atand asked in confusion, “What are you doing?” “Although you can’t drink water, it’s still possible to moisturize your lips.” | bent down and gently wiped Ryley’s lips with the cotton swab.

Looking up, | found him staring atin a daze, Hrowned.

Immediately, | realized that a strand of my long hair fell on his chest.

| quickly took a big step back.

“Sorry” too close to him Looking up, | found him staring atin a daze.

| frowned.

Immediately, | realized that a strand of my long hair fell on his chest.

| quickly took a big step back “Sorry.” 1 knew Ryley had a unique personality. He didn’t like others to get too close to him. Ryley pursed his lips, seemingly thinking about something After a few seconds, he spoke up, “I'm the one who should apologize. | didn’t take good care of those patients.” I fell silent.

Although Ryley was seriously injured, to sextent, he did neglect his duty.

The consequences were by no means as simple as losing a clue to Gummy Skull. The families of those patients were also difficult to reassure.

I didn’t know how to face them.

“We'll deal with this after you're healed. Now let's talk about those attackers,” | got to the point. “How much do you remember? Or can you infer who they are?” In fact, during the hour when Ryley was unconscious, | went to the hospital's security center to check the surveillance of this morning, but was told that all surveillance had failed.

At this moment, the personnel at the safety center were urgently repairing it. Even if it was fixed, the image of this morning couldn't be returned.

The only person who had seen the attackers now was Ryley.

However, Ryley shook his head.

“I only know that there are a total of eight of them. All of them are men. Each is wearing a mask and a doctor's uniform.” “It’s not strange to wear doctor's clothes. After all, this is the best way to sneak into a hospital.” After pondering for a moment, | asked, “Have you found anything else? Like tattoos or decorations on them?” “I'm sorry,” Ryley apologized again. “These eight people are much more powerful than me. | can’t even get close to them.” | took a deep breath and pinched my brow.

“Never mind. I'll find a way to investigate it.” | changed the topic and asked Ryley another question, “By the way, do you remember the few corpses | asked you to handle in the garage?” Ryley nodded.

“Do you know the identities of those people?” “They are from Blood Shadow Pack,” Ryley told me.

“How did you know?” Lwas a hit surprised that Ryley could give the answer so nyicy Liuucu.

“Do you know the identities of those people?” “They are from Blood Shadow Pack,” Ryley told me.

“How did you know?” | was a bit surprised that Ryley could give the answer so quickly.

“The Blood Shadow Pack is William's biggest enemy. We have fought several times. before, and | understand their methods. Before carrying out missions, they inject something similar to a stimulant. It can ensure that no matter how seriously injured they are, they can continue fighting. The only way to solve this is to kill them.” “Blood Shadow Pack. Stimulants...” | squinted my eyes.

It seemed that in order to obtain the formula for this “stimulant”, we must find a way to infiltrate the Blood Shadow Pack.

Ryley coughed again.

| withdrew my thoughts.

“Now you should take good care of your injuries. | will hand over your work to someone else.” No need, I'm already fine.” Ryley struggled to get out of bed.

| didn’t speak, just lifted his blanket.

Ryley was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he looked atin amazement.

I lightly poked the skin around his abdominal wound. Ryley immediately let out a muffled groan.

| looked up and found that his face turned red, along with a change in color on his earlobes and neck.

“Are you still fine?” | asked.

Ryley’s lips curled in a straight line.

I smiled.

“Take a good rest. Don’t show up in front ofuntil your injury is healed.” After speaking, | left the ward.

Before pushing open the office door, a huge sense of exhaustion surged in my heart. The deaths of those patients indicated that the clues to the source of Gummy Skull have been lost.

And the difficulties in front ofwere far more than this one.

The person who hired Blood Shadow Pack to assassinate me. Those who hall in the dark and sabotaged my investigation.

Also... How could | speak into Blood Shadour Back and chia Also.. How could | sneak into Blood Shadow Pack and obtain the recipe for the potion? One difficult problem after another troubled me, makingeven more agitated.

| closed my eyes and took three deep breaths before pushing open the office door.

“You're back” A familiar voice rang out.

| was stunned and found Nathan sitting on my sofa “Why are you here?” | quickly walked up to Nathan.

Nathan did not answer my question, but took my hand and said, “You look bad. What happened?” | pursed my lips.

After thinking for a moment, | finally told Nathan about Ryley’s attack After all, he was also involved in last night's incident.

It was almost impossible forto keep it from Nathan.

Those people are all dead?” Nathan asked.

“No, Ryley is alive.” Nathan chuckled lightly, “Then he’s really lucky.” It seemed that he wondered why Ryley was not killed along with those people. | rolled my eyes towards Nathan “You seem to have a lot of hostility towards Ryley.” “I have great hostility towards every man around you except me,” Nathan said bluntly. “I haven't forgotten who you called first when you woke up from this sofa that day.” | was in a daze for a moment, vaguely remembering that | seemed to have shouted “Ryley”.

But that was just because | thought Ryley coveredwith a blanket.

Nathan even felt jealous of such a small matter? My heartbeat was slightly faster.

But | soon realized that my reaction was wrong, | gave Nathan a push and said, “If you don’t have anything else to do, leave now. | still have work to deal with.” | couldn’t let Nathan appear in front ofanymore, shaking my desire to draw a clear line with him.

But Nathan grabbed my wrist.

Of course | have something to do,” his expression suddenly becserious. “There is someone | think you would be interested in meeting.” Before | could ask, Nathan took my hand and walked out.

| should have broken tree from him, but the warmth in his palm actually relieved my fatigue.

| followed his footsteps in confusion and entered an abandoned building in the hospital.

“What are you bringinghere for?” “You'll know soon.

Five minutes later, Nathan finally stopped.

| saw two people in black guarding a door.

When they saw Nathan, they all nodded and said, “Alpha!” “Open the door,” Nathan instructed.

“Yes.” The old door was pushed open, accompanied by a creaking sound. | saw a man curled up in the corner of the room.

The man remained motionless, as if he had passed out.

| walked up to him.

Suddenly, my eyes widened.

| saw the man with messy hair, blood blisters all over his body, who was exactly infected by Enigma virus.

| looked at Nathan in surprise.

Nathan shrugged his shoulders.

“Yesterday, after leaving the emergency department, | found him in a forest. | guess he may have developed symptoms relatively late, so he mixed in with others and ran out. Anyway, when | saw him, he had already started to go crazy, so | knocked him unconscious and hid him here.”
