The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 188

Sylvia's POV:

Although the grey wolf was by no means small, it was very thin and malnourished, so its head looked comparatively large to its body. As I approached, it raised its big head and stared at me with its beady eyes, almost like a caricature.

I tried to take two more steps forward. It didn't move. Now that I was sure that it didn't have any intention to hurt me, I heaved a sigh of relief and plucked up some more courage. I went straight to it, squatted down, and set the medical kit down on the floor next to me.

The black wood box was divided into several layers, with medicine and medical tools neatly packed inside.

As soon as I opened the medical kit, the smell of disinfectant wafted into the air.

The grey wolf wasn't looking at me anymore. It seemed to be very curious about what was in the medical kit. It tried to crane its neck to get a better look, causing more blood to spurt from its wound.

I shot it a reproachful look. "Your neck is practically broken," I pointed out crossly. "Why are you trying to get up? Lie down!"

As I spoke, I tried to push its head down as gently as I could. Fortunately, it obeyed me and lay back down.

Every time I took something out of the medical kit, the grey wolf would nudge my hand with its snout curiously, then I would show whatever I was holding to it.

I showed it everything patiently.

First, I took out a ball of cotton to clean up the wound. After wiping the blood off and confirming that the bleeding had stopped, I pulled out a pair of pincers to take out dirt or any foreign matter from the wound. The torn flesh seemed to fester with infection, so I cleaned the wound with iodine. This time, the grey wolf whimpered in pain and twitched its body, but it made no move to scratch or bite me.

"Hang in there," I murmured softly, making a conscious effort to move more gently. "This won't take long."

When I was done applying the medicine and wrapping the wound with gauze, it finally calmed down.
