Zerg law has zero tolerance for stealing Zerg eggs; anyone found involved will face severe punishment.

Therefore, even if those two medical scoundrels survived that day, they wouldn't have a good outcome under the laws and regulations of the empire.

Of course, whatever the truth is, if it gets out, it will be fatal for the hospital. Therefore, the hospital's first action was to suppress the news.

After Cheng Chu and Mikel made the arrangements, Elijah took the time to go to Anshan Hospital.

Faced with the menacing Elijah, the hospital leaders respectfully handed over the details and evidence they had uncovered, stating that the two medical insects had taken bribes to steal the insect eggs, and that the hospital was unaware of the theft beforehand.

Both medical insects were severely injured; one had just woken up, while the other remained unconscious. However, because of what they had done, no other insects sympathized with them.

The hospital's stance was that they hoped to reach a private settlement, stating that as long as Cheng Chu and Mikel did not publicly pursue the hospital's responsibility, they would provide them with sufficient compensation. Of course, the two corrupt doctors were also dismissed, and Cheng Chu and Mikel were free to dispose of them as they saw fit.

Anshan Hospital's tactful approach saved Elijah a lot of time.

After confirming repeatedly that Anshan Hospital had not concealed or omitted anything, Elijah reported the evidence he had gathered to Cheng Chu and Mikel.

When he arrived at the hospital suite, he only saw Mikel; Cheng Chu had gone back to sleep and hadn't gotten up yet.

Throughout the night, Cheng Chu kept waking up and falling asleep, frequently startled awake, unable to get a good night's sleep.

Mikel slept in the male insect's arms, and was very alert to even the slightest movement from him.

When the male insect awoke for the first time, Mikel also woke up. He gently stroked the male insect's back and asked softly, "Master, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Cheng Chu seemed still not recovered. He held Mikel tightly, his dark eyes staring blankly out the window of the ward. After a long while, he shook his head slightly and said in a muffled voice, "I'm fine. I'm sorry, honey, I woke you up. Go back to sleep."

The male insect didn't say anything, and Mikel didn't press for details, only saying "okay".

Before they knew it, they had fallen asleep again.

The male insect woke up twice more, intermittently. Mikel patiently patted his back, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and comforted him each time.

When Mikel woke up in the morning and saw the male insect's listless appearance, he realized that the male insect hadn't slept at all, afraid of waking him up again.

Mikel was a little angry at the time, but seeing the male insect's listless face, she couldn't lash out at him.

"Master, why aren't you sleeping?" But he couldn't hide his displeasure. He pressed the male insect back onto the bed and said seriously, "Are you very sleepy now? Go and sleep for a while longer."

"Honey, I'll sleep a little longer." Cheng Chu obediently let Mikel press her down on the bed without resisting. He chuckled and said, "Let's go check on the baby first, then I'll sleep when we get back. It won't make a difference if we sleep a little longer."

The male insect was thinking the same thing Mikel was thinking; the first thing he wanted to do when he got up was to check on the insect eggs in the hospital's absorption pool.

"Alright, my lord," Mikel said helplessly, "After we've seen the baby, you should go to sleep right away."

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife. I'll go to sleep as soon as I get back," Cheng Chu promised.

Cheng Chu said all the right things, that he would listen to his wife in everything. But in the end, he dragged his feet and, when he took Mikel to see the insect eggs, the two of them stared at the eggs for more than half an hour, separated by a glass partition.

Compared to the male and female insects that only visit the eggs once every two or three days, and only for a few minutes each time, Cheng Chu and Mikel are quite different.

After finally getting back to the ward, Cheng Chu insisted on having breakfast with Mikel before going to bed in the bedroom. Not only that, he also demanded that Mikel sleep with him.

Having not slept all night, Cheng Chu was indeed exhausted. He lay in bed for less than two minutes before Mikel coaxed him to sleep.

The male insect was asleep, but Mikel couldn't sleep. The matter at Anshan Hospital wasn't resolved yet, and the culprit who stole the insect eggs hadn't been caught. He needed to find out the truth.

When Elijah arrived, Mikel had just tiptoed out of the room.

Elijah stood at attention and greeted him: "Good day, General."

"Hmm." Mikel nodded slightly and raised his hand to indicate, "Keep your voice down, my lord has just fallen asleep."

Elijah lowered his voice and whispered, "General, the matter at Anshan Hospital has been thoroughly investigated."

As he spoke, Elijah handed over the documents he was holding.

"General, these are the evidence handed over by Anshan Hospital showing that the two medical insects who stole the insect eggs accepted bribes, as well as information on the real culprit who ordered them."

Mikel sat down on the sofa, reached out and took the documents, flipping through them. Seeing the unfamiliar male insect with curry-colored hair and the unfamiliar female insect with dark blue hair on the last page, Mikel frowned and asked, "Who are these two insects? Why did they steal my and the male's eggs?"

Mikel's mind raced, and he was quite certain, both in the past and recently, that he had never seen those two insects.

Elijah pointed to the two insects above and said, "General, when you were in the breeding room, I met Lord Cheng Chu and I at the door. He and Lord Cheng Chu almost got into a fight..."

Next, Elijah told Mikel what had happened.

Basically, the male insect with curry-colored hair has a deeply ingrained traditional mindset that values ​​males over females. Yet, he has laid several female offspring, making him feel ashamed in his circle. Because of this, every time he loses face in public, he takes it out on his female lord and female servant offspring when he gets home.

Recently, one of the female servants of the male insect with curry-colored hair is about to give birth. Since the male insect didn't use his mental power to soothe her during her pregnancy, the egg inside her is developing very poorly. The male insect with curry-colored hair is extremely hoping that this will be a male egg, while the female servant is afraid of laying an unhealthy egg and doesn't dare imagine what kind of punishment she will suffer at the hands of her master.

He then bribed the two insect doctors to secretly replace his egg with a healthy one while he was laying it.

Quite by chance, Mikel suddenly discovered that he had just arrived at the scene of the female servant giving birth, and it just so happened to be right next door.

It was such a coincidence that if they weren't stealing Mikel's eggs, they'd be stealing other female insects' eggs. But for Mikel and the newly hatched eggs, it was an undeserved disaster.

After hearing the reason behind it, Mikel remained silent for a long time.

In Zerg society, males are superior to females, and the treatment of females is too harsh.

Mikel thought for a moment and asked, "Elijah, how are those two medicine bugs doing?"

"Is it dead?" The male insect's hoarse voice suddenly rang out.

The two female insects present were caught off guard and turned around to look. They had no idea when the male insect had come out or how long it had been standing still.

Cheng Chu's hands gripped the hem of his pajamas tightly, his face seemingly both restrained and expressionless. He repeated, "Is he dead?"
