บท 74: Choosing an assistant

Damien felt amused. He curled his lips in a light smirk before saying, "Healer Azriel, are you the worm in my stomach? How can you deduce my thoughts without me putting them into words?" 

He then looked at Xavier before saying, "Did I say that I am not going to treat him?" 

Xavier glanced at Healer Azriel before shaking his head as he replied, "No, you didn't, Lord Damien." 

His words caused Azriel to flush red in embarrassment. The man clenched and unclenched his fingers as if he wished to hurl it at Damien but held himself back upon seeing the sturdy physique of Xavier. 

He tightly smiled at Damien before saying, "I —was just saying that you are shirking responsibility. Treating snake venom is not a matter of child's play. Certainly, you are trying to shake off the responsibility by telling us that he has been poisoned."
