There was a moment of silence at the table. Bai Meng curled up his fingers, and then Paten stuffed a cup of tea into his palm.

Bai Meng lowered his head and avoided Keith's gaze: "I... I'm sorry."

Keith closed his eyes in pain: "Is he dead?"

"No," Paten suddenly said, "Your Excellency saved him. He is still alive and well taken care of."

Keith opened his eyes instantly and gripped the armrests of his chair excitedly: "Really?"

"Really," Paten nodded, smiling helplessly, "It's just that we're not sure if he's your brother yet, so I wanted to secretly use your hair to do a genetic match, and you've already guessed it."

Keith immediately raised his hand to grab his hair, but Johnil grabbed him, carefully cut off a strand with his insect claws, and handed it to Paten wrapped in a handkerchief.

"Really? You two don't even speak complete sentences."

Jonil complained: "I'm so scared. As long as I'm alive, it's fine. As long as I'm alive, we can be reunited."

Bai Meng took a deep breath, took a sip of the tea in his hand, and echoed Jonil's words: "The Admiral is right, I didn't make it clear."

Patten couldn't help but think back to what Holtz said last night.

"According to what you just described, you have a strong sense of guilt. This excessive self-blame makes you wonder if you haven't done well enough, and if you can do better."

"Scott is the fruit of our six months' labor, and your Excellency will think that Mr. Lorraine had many six months before his death."

"This is the young master's deepest knot. Everything he does now will have the meaning of atonement."

"Lieutenant General, I do not advocate drug treatment. We can only provide you with sufficient external emotional value. The rest can only be left to time and you yourself."

"I don't understand," Paten said, "This disease is very strange. Didn't Lorraine teach him not to be responsible for the mistakes of other bugs?"

"This is also what I am confused about. Perhaps it is because you are too precocious and your thinking matures too early. Anyway, I will go to Gedien 3 and maybe I can learn some details of the time. I hope it will be helpful for your condition."

"Lieutenant General, I leave the young master to you. You are the closest insect to the young master now. Please take good care of the young master. The Sith Family and Lorraine Group will be grateful."

"Of course, you are stronger than we thought. At least I don't see you feeling guilty about an insignificant bug."

"As for whether Scott's presence will irritate the young master, I don't think you need to worry about this. The young master is very rational and he knows how to adjust his mentality."

"I am more worried that if you see Scott's insects, that is, Professor Case as you guessed, whether it will cause you to feel guilty. You also know that you cherish the insects around you."

I really guessed it. He is worthy of being the most famous doctor in the Imperial Star.

Patten moved his fingers, wanting to seal his admiral's mouth.

He put away the black hair and held Bai Meng's hand: "Uncle Wenwen, did you encounter any problems in the Satan Galaxy?"

"Nothing much," Wen Wen cooperated with Paten to change the subject: "It's just that the boss behind the black market seems to have changed."

"But it didn't affect our bugs. After receiving the recall order from the admiral, I quickly withdrew with the bugs."

"This is all thanks to you, Excellency," Wen Wen thanked Bai Meng, "The inhibitors you provided to the Third Legion solved many of our urgent needs."

Bai Meng touched his nose embarrassedly: "This is also what we need. You don't have to thank me."

Glenn silently poured tea for the guests. Johnil patted Keith's hand, signaling him as the host to say something.

"Sir, I'm sorry for being so rude just now. I hope I didn't scare you."

Keith said to Bai Meng gratefully: "Whether the bug you met is my brother or not, I am willing to serve you as long as you need me."

"You are so polite," Bai Meng also took the opportunity to explain the purpose of his visit: "I heard from Paten that you know something about the Supreme Research Institute fifty years ago."

"What do you want to know?" Keith asked. "I had already left the institute when it was destroyed. I'm afraid I can't help you much."

"Excuse me, are you aware that the research institute is raising female insectoids?"

Bai Meng said: "We are not sure when it started, but at least 50 years ago, we rescued a female insect, but we are not sure of her identity. We only know that she has a brother."

Bai Meng decided to make things clear to Keith: "If he is not your brother, I would also like to ask you to help us identify him and find his brother. This will be very helpful for his treatment."

"If I understand you correctly," Keith said with some difficulty, "you mean that my brother may have turned into a beast, right?"

"And you are trying to treat him?"

"Yes." Bai Meng nodded.

"I hope you are sure of what you are talking about, sir." Keith stared at Bai Meng with a slight scrutiny. "You may not understand what insect transformation means to a female insect. I believe you are not using him as a weapon, but... this also violates the rules of the Supreme Court. He should be buried in peace, sir."

"That's my disease bug. I can cure him," Bai Meng said calmly, "He is also very likely your brother. Don't you want to save him?"

"If it's a hopeless treatment, it's no different from torture, sir."

"It is precisely because he may be my brother that I hope you can free him."

"But before I get rid of him," Keith slowed down his tone and covered his face in pain and despair, "I still want to see him."

"..."

Jonil stood up and said, "Ahem, well, you guys chat. I'm a little hungry. I'm going to the kitchen to see if there's anything delicious."

Wen Wen and Glenn looked at each other and stood up one after another: "Admiral, we will go too."

"Let's go, let's go, go, go."

When there were only three bugs left in the garden, Bai Meng continued to say to Keith: "I don't mean to offend you, but that is my sick bug. He is asking me for help. He was even conscious before he turned into a complete bug. I can't just ignore it."

"But what can you do? Your Excellency, can your so-called treatment really bring him back? And how can you be sure that the survival you saw did not belong to that beast?"

"He spoke."

"……what did you say?"

"I said," Bai Meng emphasized again: "He spoke, he called me brother."

Keith turned his gaze to Paten, who nodded and gave him a firm answer.

"You, how did you do it?" Keith felt his heart beating very fast, and it hurt him: "Is this Lorraine's secret? Sorry, I don't want to find out Lorraine's secret, I just, just..."

"It's unbelievable."

"I don't think you understand what this means to female insects. This is definitely a result that will drive every female insect crazy."

Paten poured tea for Case to calm him down. From the beginning, he had never worried that the two insects would quarrel.

After all, Bai Meng did achieve a success that amazed Chong.

"You are wrong, Mr. Keith," Bai Meng looked into his eyes calmly, which were distorted by excitement. "I understand."

Keith understood the look, and then fell into a long silence.

"It's weird, why are they just drinking tea and not talking?"

"Admiral, do we really have to peek here like this? That robot has been staring at us for a long time. I feel like it's about to attack us."

"...Lorraine's housework robot is different."

Jonil turned awkwardly and walked into the kitchen, only to find that his good lieutenant Wenwen had already cut three fruit platters and placed them on the table in the living room.

"Wait a little longer, they should continue talking for a while."

"I'm just worried that the two of them will quarrel," Jonil sighed sadly. "You said that the male insect was too bold. It's not like there haven't been insects doing research on curing insect transformation before. I don't know how many troubles there have been. The Lorraine Group actually supports him."

"You heard it, Admiral," he said gently, "Your Excellency called that worm his disease. How can a doctor not save his own patient?"

"And with Paten here, they can't quarrel."
