"I..." Mateo shook his head vigorously. "I don't want to... I'm feeling very uncomfortable right now. My tongue is stiff, and my head is heavy... I don't want to become a vegetable again," he muttered, sinking to the floor while holding his head. "No! Save me!" he wailed loudly.
When Liam saw him shrinking his head like a tortoise, he exclaimed shakily, "That's right! Just hide like this, and don't lift your head!"
"Yes, Professor Clayton... I'll not lift my head..." he answered, laying still on the floor as he balled up his body tightly.
Someone suddenly realized what was happening once they saw this. "I understand what Professor Clayton means! Earlier in both times, Mr. Ross turned into a vegetable because the needle struck him between his brows. So, he'll be fine if he hides his head!"
"Yeah! Kudos to Professor Clayton for coming up with this so quickly. I didn't even think of this point!"
Kingsley sniggered as he peered at Mateo's pathetic trembling form on the floor, "Mr. Ross, weren't you very impressive earlier? So, why are you on all fours and refusing to move like
a dog now?"
With a sour face, Liam sighed as he spoke with a rather nasty look on his face, "No matter what, Mateo is the vice director of a hospital. Don't you think that you've gone overboard by being so aggressive?"
"Have I gone overboard?" Kingsley's eyes were steely. "Since he's not my countryman anymore, why should I show him mercy?" he said, taking a step forward. His light brown eyes stared at Liam steadily as he said in a nonchalant tone, "Moreover, do you think that there's really nothing I can do to him if he tucks his head between his crotch like this?"
As Liam looked into Kingsley's eyes, a shiver ran down his spine, but he forced himself to be composed as he said, "The main causes of a vegetative state is damage to the brain and nerves. Now that Mateo has completely protected his head, what can you do to him even if you have heavenly skills?"
Everyone agreed with his words. "Professor Clayton has a point. Now, Dr. Nicholson doesn't even have a spot to stick his needles. So, what else can he do? "
"Oh, what a shame. I think this hiatus is about to end. Without a doubt, Professor Clayton will use this as the excuse not to admit defeat." "Yeah, unless Dr. Nicholson could damage the brain through the butt—"
