Growing new legs made the Monkey very uncomfortable. Perhaps the severed limb sites itched and ached; it struggled in Doctor's arms.
Doctor took the opportunity to set the Monkey on the floor.
The Macaque leaped onto the sofa in a few bounds, shook its newly grown leg, then reached down to scratch it several times. It seemed utterly shocked, chattering nonstop.
Huangfu Miaomiao stared wide-eyed. "Why did you lie to them?"
"What did I lie to them about?" Doctor turned and asked her.
"You, you..." Huangfu Miaomiao pointed at the sleeping Players on the hospital beds, then at the Macaque. "You clearly could have healed all three Players! And this Monkey's severed leg had already healed long ago—it didn't affect your ability to make it grow a new leg at all!"
