21st Century Necromancer

Chapter 186 Tormenting the Cat

"Professor, I'm really sorry! Keika has become quite introverted since the car accident, and she's very sensitive about how others look at her and their attitudes. She didn't mean what she said just now; please don't take it to heart!" After Chen Yu had checked on Higashiyama Keika's condition, he let the nurse take her to the hospital room Dr. Higashiyama had already prepared for her, while Dr.

Higashiyama explained to Chen Yu, hoping he wouldn't take Keika's earlier words to heart.

However, as soon as Higashiyama Keika left, Chen Yu's expression changed, and he spoke frankly to Dr. Higashiyama: "Why would I take such things to heart? As a doctor, am I not allowed to have a patient vent their frustrations at me? This is Japan, after all. If we were in China, it's all too common for doctors to be scolded by patients."

"Then why did you look so serious when facing Keika just now...?" Dr. Higashiyama was a bit confused, since Chen Yu wasn't angry, why did he put on such a stern face to his own sister?

Hearing Dr. Higashiyama's question, Chen Yu couldn't help laughing, explaining, "Your sister's mood isn't right; she thinks I'm not serious about treating her. So, I deliberately put on a serious face to show her that I am indeed serious, and to scare her a bit so that she would cooperate better with my treatment.

It's not always right to be sweet and pleasing as a doctor; we have to earn the patients' trust, and there's more than one way to do that."

Dr. Higashiyama felt much better after Chen Yu's explanation and could understand his approach, so he thanked Chen Yu wholeheartedly, and also asked about his sister's treatment plan, "Professor, does my sister really need to undergo spinal resection surgery?"

Chen Yu nodded affirmatively and said, "Her spine was originally damaged, and though it has been restored through surgery, now we have to reconstruct and repair her cauda equina and spinal cord, which inevitably means cutting open the injured part of the spine that was previously affected."

"I see, then I'll leave the surgery to you, Professor!" Dr. Higashiyama said, and then bowed deeply to Chen Yu.

"It's nothing, what I ought to do. As I've said, doctors only have one thing in mind, and that's to cure their patients," Chen Yu finished speaking, then walked out with a smile.

"Mr. Chen Yu, time to eat!" Hiromi of the city brought the soup to the table, pot and all, calling out to Chen Yu who was reading a book by her side.

Upon hearing that dinner was ready, Chen Yu quickly closed his book, stood up from the couch, and walked over to the table, sniffing hard and praising, "That smells so good! Hiromi, your cooking skills are getting better and better!"

But faster than Chen Yu was Audis, the black cat, who, taking advantage of its four-legged speed, reached the table first and hopped up, patting the table with one paw, seemingly telling Hiromi to hurry up and serve its meal.

Seeing the black cat Audis behaving like this made Hiromi burst into laughter. She brought out the cat food she had already prepared for Audis from the kitchen: "Hey! Hey! Hey! Your cat food has been ready for a while, eat up! And next time, you can just tell me what you want to eat, Mr.

Chen Yu has already told me everything!"

Hearing Hiromi speak like this, Audis couldn't help but look at Chen Yu with questioning eyes.

Sitting down at the dining table, Chen Yu wasn't surprised by Audis's confusion and simply patted its head saying, "Don't be surprised. After I successfully proposed to Hiromi, I've already taken her to the Necromantic Space for a visit. She already knows our secret now. So you can talk, it's no issue anymore."

"Hahaha! I was suffocating, do you have any idea how uncomfortable it has been not being able to talk this whole time!" Audis, finally able to speak, complained loudly to Chen Yu then looked at the cat food in front of it and licked it twice with slight disdain, "Next time, could you use less soy sauce or light soy sauce? Too much salt isn't good for my body."

"Hey! I know, I'll make sure to improve next time!" Jounouchi Hiromi scratched Audis's chin until it showed a comfortable expression, then sat down next to Chen Yu with a smile and filled his bowl with rice.

Taking the bowl of rice from his fiancee and seeing Audis, despite its complaints, still eating heartily, Chen Yu then said to Jounouchi Hiromi, "You don't need to spoil it like that, Hiromi. It just likes to complain."

"Jerk! You just want to abuse the cat!" Audis lifted its head from its bowl and complained to Chen Yu. Now that it didn't have to hide the fact that it could talk, it could finally retort and bicker when Chen Yu picked on it.

"Hehe, you just want to trouble my wife! I modified your body, you wouldn't starve even if you don't eat!

Your ability to speak is because I split a part of my soul into your body, so your thoughts and mine are interconnected, do you think I wouldn't know what you're thinking?" Chen Yu chuckled coldly, lifted his hand to pinch the back of Audis's neck and held it up, "Also, cats should eat on the ground, since when can you climb onto the dining table to eat?"

After he finished speaking, he put Audis on the floor and brought down the cat food as well.

"Jerk! I'm going to the animal protection association to report you for cat abuse!" Although Audis sounded furious, it continued to eat heartily after Chen Yu placed the cat food in front of it. However, it kept grumbling, "I mean what I say! I'll hire a lawyer! I'll sue you for cat abuse in court after I finish eating!"

"Mr. Chen Yu?" Jounouchi Hiromi, watching Audis act this way, couldn't help but worry and tugged at Chen Yu's sleeve, "Just let it eat at the table, it's okay, I don't mind."

Seeing his girlfriend like this, Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh and comforted her, "Don't worry, Audis always complains like this. You can tell by the fact that it's still eating; it's just being stubborn. If it really wanted to sue me, it would have been taken to some research institute and dissected for study by now. A cat that can talk is either a demon cat or an alien.

Scientists would go crazy with happiness."

Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, Jounouchi Hiromi let go of her worry somewhat, but seeing Audis eating under the table looking a bit pitiful, she still felt a surge of sympathy, "Regardless, you should be a little nicer to it, Mr. Chen Yu. It is your pet after all. If you're too harsh on it, people really will say you're an abuser."

"Alright, I got it." Chen Yu nodded and agreed, then suggested to Hiromi of the city, "How about we go out for a bit tonight, Hiromi? I promised last time to show you the deities."

"Really? That's great!" Hiromi of the city's eyes lit up upon hearing Chen Yu's words, and even her eating pace quickened.
