Chapter 0585 Enzo

"Are you sure you're a human, Enzo?"

Mila and I stood in the dimly lit room, the hum of medical equipment filling the air. She had just finished going over my physical therapy results, and her eyes were no longer fixed on the tablet in her hand, but were instead boring holes into me now.

Her words caught me off guard. I didn't know what to say, and it felt as though she somehow knew that I wasn't human. I had tried to take it easy on the running test, but sometimes my abilities still surpassed a normal human's even when I wasn't putting in my full effort.

"I... I, um-* I began to stutter, but Mila cut me off with a snort.

"I'm just teasing, Enzo," she chuckled, smacking my arm. "Geez, you're so serious."

I chuckled, feeling my shoulders relax slightly. "You never know," I said, trying to keep my tone neutral.

"Well, it is impressive," Mila remarked, her voice still carrying that hint of surprise. "I've never seen results quite like these. One of these days, we'll have to get you in here to do a full PT test. I'd be curious to see the results."

I couldn't help but feel a twinge of unease. Mila wasn't aware of my supernatural nature, and I had to be cautious about revealing it. Instead, I offered a modest smile. "I've been training my whole life," I said, "so I guess it pays off."

Mila's gaze lingered on me, her expression thoughtful. "Hmm. And I bet your wife must be very appreciative of your body," she added with a playful grin.

Her comment caught me off guard, and I felt a slight flush creeping up my neck. My wolf cringed at her comment; I could feel him bristling in me, put off by her flirtatious demeanor.
