033 Anindira's next spouse

Hans had given Gavriel his three golden Ambers and ordered Gavriel to be brought to his house. But, right now, Hans is at Halvir's house taking care of a critical Anindira.

''Halvir!'' called Hans in a low tone, ''Sorry...'' said Hans with a pitiful face, ''I don't think I can...''

Hans's face was downcast sadly, not only for Anindira but especially because of Halvir. He couldn't bear to see Halvir's sadness.

Halvir might have been expressionless most of the time, but in Hans' eyes, Halvir had always looked dashing and a very reliable person. Halvir has always been a great role model, because of Halvir too, Hans came to Blue Forest Village from the Lion Kingdom.

''What do you mean Hans?!'' exclaimed Halvir with an expression of disapproval, ''When Dira recovers later I will go to the Forbidden Forest, I will find green and red Amber for you,'' Halvir said then, he pleaded, holding Hans's shoulder, pleading with him, “Do whatever! I'll pay you many times over…'' cried Halvir, shrieking. He looked desperate, asking Hans for help with emotion.

''HALVIR!'' Hans screamed, he held Halvir's shoulder back, ''I'll do anything for you, even if you don't pay me,'' Hans continued, ''But, this!... You can't!... I can't…'' cried Hans again, shaking his head.

Hans knows how much Anindira means to Halvir, his heart sympathizes with his friend's sadness. However, Hans couldn't do anything that would damage his relationship with Halvir.

"Halvir, her broken ribs have affected her breathing rate and I've also been trying to do the best I can. But, the problem is not only that…'' Hans said with a pitiful face full of regret.

''What do you mean Hans?'' Halvir asked with a pale face, ''What about Anindira? Say it right, don't spin around!'' Halvir shouted again, full of emotion, screaming at Hans.

''I'm sorry... But, I can't do it... I can't stop the bleeding,'' Halvir answered while looking down. He felt very embarrassed to look at Halvir.

''Hans! Don't do this!'' Halvir exclaimed with a forced smile, his eyes filled with tears, ''You're a great doctor... I know what you have, your family doesn't recognize it, but I acknowledge you. Don't disappoint me, you can do it!'' cried Halvir, he kept urging Hans.

''Halvir! Listen to me!'' shouted Hans while shaking Halvir's shoulder many times, ''Listen! What's critical now is the bleeding... the bleeding in her womb,'' said Hans, continuing to try to explain to Halvir.

''Then shut it already! Stop the bleeding!'' Halvir shouted, answering Hans, ''You were able to stop the bleeding when I was seriously injured, the blood that came out of my body at that time was much more intense than that... But, you can treat me,'' said Halvir, who still didn't want to lose.

''Halvir! You're a man, I can do anything for you. But, not with Anindira, she is a woman…'' said Hans.

''I know she's a woman, but Hans, Anindira is a tough woman, trust me!'' Halvir shouted, continuing to urge Hans.

''That's not the problem!'' cried Hans, emotionally.

''Then what else?'' shouted Halvir asked angrily.

''Halvir! She's a woman and I'm still single. How am I going to touch her?!'' exclaimed Hans answered in a high tone.

Halvir was silent, he was surprised by what Hans said. Halvir still couldn't properly digest Hans' meaning because his mind was really confused. But, his heart jolted, his heart seemed not to accept what Hans had just said.

''Halvir, calm down, listen to me carefully!'' Hans shouted, trying to make Halvir calm so he could think with a cool head, ''Halvir, I respect and appreciate you, more than anyone. More than the Village Chiefs of the elders, even the King in the Lion Kingdom. Halvir, I, was never interested in Anindira. My priority is you, not Anindira...''

''But, Hans, I asked you to treat it,'' Halvir said, cutting Hans off.

''I know! Right now, there is nothing on your mind except there is only how to save Anindira…''

''If you know, why do you refuse?!'' Halvir shouted in a high tone.

Hans removed his hand from Halvir, he took a step back with a languid face while letting out a long sigh. He looked at Halvir with sharp and very serious eyes.

''Have you forgotten, I'm single Halvir... If I open your woman's crotch…'' Hans deliberately emphasized inappropriate words to Halvir, ''Then, I will definitely be trapped *imprint. You know very well how powerful an imprint is?! My priority will change... from you... to Anindira... And, because of that... I have to compete with you, to be able to mate with Anindia.''

Hans explained very carefully to Halvir. He tries to prevent the problems that happened to Anindira from destroying Halvir any further.

At this moment, in Hans' mind, there was only the thought that Halvir was not yet bound by a *Mate bond with Anindira. If something bad happened to Anindira, Halvir would only be sad for a moment.

Hans wasn't like most Beast Humans who would race to level up in order to attract women. He had never thought about it all that time.

Hans was simply obsessed with science and wanted to find out more.

When youths are predatory types, especially top predators like lions, they will compete with each other to show their strength. However, Hans had never been involved in such matters. Hans also rarely hunted, because he could always get it by paying for his medical services.

As a doctor, Hans was highly respected even though he was very young. Because of the knowledge he has, it exceeds that of doctors who are much more senior than him. It's not because he is talented, but because he is always learning and very critical about it.

Hans is always exploring and experimenting, as well as innovating with various medicinal plants.

As a predator, he is not ashamed or proud to ask questions and seek other opinions from doctors in various parts of the region, most of whom are herbivores. His effort and will, as well as his passion to continue to grow, have made him who he is today.

Hans was ostracized because he was considered useless by his family and clan. It was all because he was a descendant of the Lion Clan. But, being a lion, he was more in the habit of being like most of the Clans of a weak herbivore breed.

Hans once felt inferior, but, thanks to Halvir, who was never skeptical of him, Hans finally bravely left the Lion Kingdom to achieve his goals in the medical field. Hans' passion is getting hotter and his obsession to dig deeper into medical knowledge is getting bigger and his love for medicine is getting stronger because nothing can stop him anymore.

Hans became very comfortable in Blue Forest Village, because apart from Halvir. Mischa, Ruvi, and many other village elders never looked down on Hans.

For women, Hans is not overlooked. Precisely, his medicinal ability makes him superior in the eyes of women more than Halvir.

Unfortunately, Hans, who is always indifferent with a face full of fake smiles, makes women who try to approach him uncomfortable and eventually move away by themselves.

Hans had always been friendly, but he clearly distanced himself, to the point that the women became irritated and eventually wanted nothing more to do with Hans unless they needed his medical skills.

Halvir, who had been silent for a moment after hearing Hans' explanation, did look increasingly frustrated. But, he was calmer than before now.

''Hans!... What do you think about Anindira?'' asked Halvir.

''You mean? I don't understand,'' answered Hans flatly.

''What do you see from Anindira as a woman, from your perspective as a man…'' Halvir said again in a calm tone of voice.

''Nothing... I see it like most women,'' answered Hans, with a calm and indifferent face.

Hans looked surprised by the attitude and aura around Halvir, who suddenly changed. Halvir was no longer tense and was showing a sinister aura. He was very calm now, therefore Hans could also talk casually now.

''You don't like her?'' asked Halvir with a serious face.

''I don't hate her'' answered Hans flatly.

''Then... wouldn't it be okay if you mated with her,'' Halvir said with a calm face.

This time it was Hans who was disturbed by Halvir's calm. Hans was shocked by Halvir's words just now and was flabbergasted.

''Halvir!'' cried Hans shrieked.

However, Halvir immediately interrupted Hans, who was still amazed.

''Hans... I'm sorry, but, I ask you to be Anindira's next spouse after she recovers later,'' Halvir said seriously, his sharp eyes looking at Hans with a firm face.
