Dorothy put the cup in her grasp onto the table.
"That's the story. We only met for a moment, before Rei finally returned to escape and I never met him again" Dorothy explained.
"Oh.." Elvina and the others nodded their heads at Dorothy's explanation just now.
"Thank you for the tea, Thalia" William said with a smile at the boy.
"Either. Then I'll excuse you." Thalia moved out of her place, leaving them there.
"After that what really happened, Rei? Do you remember what happened after you met Dorothy?" Elvina shifted her focus to Rei.
Rei was silent for a moment, he tried to recall. But unfortunately it didn't work.
"I don't remember the whole incident. My memories are still hazy, and I can't remember them."
"So it seems…"
"It's okay, don't be too forced," Dorothy said with a smile. "You will remember that the time has come. So don't force yourself to remember something you can't remember."
"Yes." Yeah."
"Then I go first. I still have to check on Derek." Dorothy moved out of her place leaving them.
"Derek? Who's she?" ask William who is curious.
"Derek was one of the people Dorothy and the others saved. He was injured quite badly and until now has not been aware of himself" said Amanda.
"really? What happened to him?" elvina asked, curious.
"What's he saying?" William doesn't understand. Elvina then explained what Amanda was talking about.
"He was injured on the way to escape. Besides, it looks like he also just had an injury from surgery."
"Operation? You mean, she ran away after having surgery to pair the chipset in her brain?"
"That's it, less is more."
Chequek!
Dorothy pushed the door slowly. As soon as he stepped in, he saw Joe who was sitting with his head leaning on the bed occupied by Derek who until now had not been conscious.
Dorothy approached them slowly. He watched Joe fall asleep there.
She seemed to love her sister so much that she always came here every day and looked after Derek, even to the point of falling asleep like this.
He walked over to the other chair there. Dorothy put all the things she was carrying on the tray onto the table and started to check on Derek.
Dorothy who had been busy with Derek had unknowingly made Joe annoyed.
Joe opened his eyes slowly and the first thing he saw was Dorothy examining his sister.
"Dorothy…"
"Oh, Joe, you awake? Did I interrupt your sleep?"
"Not at all. You're gonna check on Derek?"
"Yes." Yeah." Dorothy nodded as she refocused on what she was doing.
"How is he doing?"
"He's much better. So you don't have to worry too much, Joe."
"Really?"
"Yes. And you better get used to sleeping in bed. Don't let you get sick either."
"Haha, okay. I'll remember."
"I just need to change the bandage on his body, once it's done."
"alright. Then I'll be out for a while, I'll have to go to the bathroom."
"Go away. I'll take care of Derek for you."
"Thank you."
Joe got up from his seat. He stepped out of the room where Derek lay unconscious.
