章節 197: Wins II

He laughed softly. "It is not a woman, red hair. Why are you so suspicious? I met another one such as myself in the forest. I was in need, and he offered his aid."

"And you took it?" She was astonished. He had certainly come a long way from the wary, dark, dangerous man she had first encountered. "He was a total stranger, yet you allowed him to help you?"

"I did not. As I recall, I told you I was your doctor, nothing more, and you would not listen to me. You know, Zen, that's a very bad habit of yours, not listening to me."
