The person lying on the white hospital bed unconsciously furrowed her brow and finally woke up amid the clacking of typing sounds.

When Elliana Lyle first opened her eyes, she couldn’t clearly see the things in front of her. She only saw a blurry human figure, but as she adjusted, she saw Luna sitting beside her.

"...Luna"

"Hm?" Luna, who was playing with her phone, suddenly looked up and was delighted to see Elliana awake: "Oh, you’re finally awake!"

"..."

Elliana slightly turned her head, her gaze dazed. She didn’t want to speak or move.

As she became more alert, her sense of pain became sharper. She now felt pain all over her body, especially the wound on her foot, which hurt so much it almost made her suffocate.

"You sure can sleep, it’s been the fourth day today. Want to eat something?" Luna said as she shouted outside.

"She’s awake; bring in something to eat!"

Then she picked up her phone and opened the food delivery app, selecting a few dishes for herself by tapping the plus sign. Of course, these weren’t for Elliana.

"Luna... Where am I?"

"A hospital, can’t you tell?" Luna picked up a fruit knife from the fruit platter, patiently peeling an apple, and then said: "I couldn’t reach you when I called, so I came to Wyen myself. Just as I arrived, I thought you were done for."

Wyen? Elliana stared blankly at the ceiling, unable to figure out why she was in Wyen.

Luna then brought a small piece of apple to her mouth, "Ah, open up."

The sweet and sour taste of the apple spread on her tongue, and she chewed slowly as her groggy brain began to start.

Suddenly, she stopped chewing. She remembered; she came looking for Norman Bennett! Where... is Norman Bennett?

She looked around and finally locked eyes with Luna.

Luna was startled while cutting the apple and asked, "What’s wrong with you? Why are you looking at me all shocked?"

"Where’s Norman Bennett? Where is Norman Bennett?" Elliana asked as she began to prop herself up from the bed.

The needle in her hand started to show signs of blood-backed flow due to her large movements.

"Hey hey hey! What are you doing?" Luna quickly put down the apple and fruit knife, while Elliana had already stood up with the help of the bedside cabinet.

"Oh no! It’s bleeding, it’s bleeding! Where are you going?"

Facing Elliana’s determination to leave, Luna was flustered and helplessly grabbed the hanging IV bag.

Just then, the door opened.

The person entering was Norman Bennett!

"..."

She hugged Norman Bennett tightly and burst into tears. She almost thought Norman Bennett was gone...

The man lightly patted the little girl’s back and then coldly glanced at Luna, who was holding the IV.

"Why are you looking at me? She came down on her own." Luna said while shaking the medicine bottle in her hand, "Don’t you see I’m holding the IV?"

"Norman Bennett... sob sob..."

"Shh, don’t cry, don’t cry, I’m here, I’m here." The man withdrew his gaze, patiently comforting the little girl in his arms.

While Elliana was relieved to have finally found Norman Bennett, she suddenly remembered Hannah and those warriors...

Instantly her heart sank!

Thump thump!

Upon hearing the noise, she suddenly looked toward the door, only to see Hannah appear at the door! Leaning against the door frame, crossing her arms, she teasingly smiled, "Oh, Little Sprout hasn’t got much backbone, only knows how to cry every day!"

"..." Elliana felt her nose twinge and her eyes immediately redden a shade, choking back tears and finally unable to hold in her emotions.

She ran away from Norman Bennett, barefoot, without hesitation.

Faced with Elliana’s sudden actions, Luna panicked and quickly followed while holding the IV!

At the door, Hannah was momentarily stunned. Seeing Little Sprout rushing toward her, she hurriedly lowered her hands to steady the staggering Little Sprout!

Unexpectedly, Little Sprout jumped into her arms!

Little Sprout hugged her waist and wailed, leaving Hannah momentarily at a loss, but she quickly reacted, gently soothing her: "Don’t cry, don’t cry, our Little Sprout is the bravest, I was just joking."

"Sob sob... Hannah... I was scared... I was scared you’d be hit by the flood... sob sob..."

Luna, holding the IV, looked complicated. Why doesn’t Elliana cry in her arms? She was the one always by the bedside, right?

"Alright, alright, don’t cry, don’t cry, we’re all okay. Just a few were injured, but they’re getting better now. Be good, no more crying..."

Soon, the meal arrived; it was Elliana’s nutritional supplement.

Since Elliana clung to Hannah and wouldn’t come down naturally, Hannah fed Elliana.

Just as Hannah was feeding Elliana a spoonful of chicken soup, Luna impatiently stopped her: "Do you know how to take care of someone? You didn’t even blow on it."

Then she looked at Elliana and said, sounding like she was scolding: "Get a grip, girl; she’s your rival, not your husband."

She pointed at Norman Bennett, "Your husband is standing right here."

Elliana: "..."

Norman Bennett: "..."

"Norman Bennett, come on, I almost forgot I’ve got things to do," Hannah stood up from the bedside and handed the spoon to the man.

Looking at the other Little Sprout who was almost about to explode, Hannah glided over with a smile, pulling Luna close to her side.

"The couple shouldn’t have you as the third wheel. Come out with me."

"Let go of me! I can walk by myself!"

...

Ten minutes later.

Facing Norman Bennett handing her the soup, Elliana shook her head.

"Are you full?" the man asked.

She nodded, then he moved the things aside, gently lifting her and placing her snugly on the bed.

"Good, stay put, don’t move around."

"Norman Bennett, what happened to your face?" She finally saw scratches on his handsome face, not too serious though.

The man tucked her under the quilt, "Nothing, just minor scratches."

Then Elliana remembered someone and suddenly, flushed with anger, she reported to the man: "Norman Bennett, your driver Han, if he weren’t so slow and verbose, I’d have arrived long ago! Fire him!"

"Alright, fired." The man replied patiently.

"Also, I want to learn how to drive, that way I’ll be able to drive without worry in the future!"

"Sure, when you recover, I’ll take you to learn."

―――Two days later.

Today was the day to leave Wyen, and before departing, Luna insisted on carrying her, saying she’s really strong.

However, Norman Bennett wouldn’t allow it, yet seeing Luna so adamant, he eventually agreed.

"How about it? I seem pretty strong, not weak at all, right?"

Elliana lay on Luna’s back with a complex expression, thinking it over: "Well... Luna, did something hit you?"

"..."

She wouldn’t admit she’d been taunted by that tomboy Hannah again!

Luna immediately got upset: "Why do you care? Just tell me if your girl is awesome or not?"

"Awesome..." Not finished speaking, a loud thud was heard! Elliana’s foot banged against the door frame!

"Ohhhhh―――! My foot! My foot!"
