Fast forward to the next morning, Lana awoke with a groan. Her body felt like it had just been hit by a truck… and following a yawn, she looked to her side… Only to freeze in place. After all, rest right next to her was James…! What’s more, he had no shirt on! What the hell had- …Wait. That was right. They had finally told the rest of the Frankstons about their relationship last night… and when Ian had sincerely hoped that she would have a better life with James, she had gotten so emotionally overwhelmed that she chose to drown it all with wine… After that… She had gotten rather sexual, and… And…! To think that things had progressed so rapidly in a single night…! Rubbing her temple, she couldn’t help but think about how she had gotten into this situation in the first place… That was right… Back when she was experimenting on herself, she had almost kicked the bucket but thanks to Ian, she managed to live another day… Following that, she ended up becoming his personal physician, and

Fast forward to the next day, James made sure to tell everyone that Lana finally realized that he was the one who had saved her back then… and thanks to that, everyone was able to breathe sighs of relief. At the end of the day, they were still skeptical about their relationship at first, but now that Lana knew the truth… Well, things were surely much better than before. As everyone congratulated James and Lana, sincerely this time, Xavia found herself missing Fabiola more and more… Checking her phone, she saw that Zivon had notified her earlier that he was still safe, but… When was she going to receive news about her poor child…? Her train of thought was cut short when Jacob approached her with a drink and said, “…Thinking about Zivon and Fabiola…? If you miss them that much, then you should go searching together with him… Don’t worry about the other kids, they’ll be safe with us…” Touched to hear that, it took her a while to reply, “…Even if I did accompany him, I wouldn’t be

...Truth be told, he had seen that message earlier but… when she was actually in front of him, he really didn’t want to follow Xavia’s orders… It didn’t help that Ellen had a rather tight-fitting turtleneck on… Damn it! He needed to calm down! Gritting his teeth, he put on a calm façade before marching forward, leaving Ellen speechless. Was this man simply incapable of acting courteously? Bah, whatever! She was just here to treat Sophia anyway! Upon arriving at the ward, Ellen was greeted by the sight of a lifeless-looking Sophia, her eyes dull as stared at a baby’s shoe… and when she noticed the presence of the stranger, Sophia’s eyes widened in fear as she backed away and whimpered, “N-no…! Please…! Please don’t hurt my baby…!” Frowning slightly, Ellen took a while to reply, “…Don’t worry, I won’t hurt it.” Following that, she slowly began approaching Sophia… but every time she got close to her, Sophia would simply bolt to another corner of the room. As Ellen helplessly rub

Momentarily too stunned to even react, she was only able to snap out of it when Jacob, who had quickly put on more clothes, yelled, “Some privacy, please!” Quickly looking away, the flustered woman replied, “W-well I’m not the one who runs around in his boxers! Have some shame!” Squinting slightly, Jacob then said, “…Have you forgotten whose room you’re in?” Realizing that this was technically her own fault, the embarrassed Ellen replied, “I-I only came over to look for my documents… I wasn’t expecting the door to be unlocked, and… had I known you were like this, I wouldn’t have come in in the first place!” …Alright, his bad habit of not locking the door was his fault too, but… With how flustered she now looked… “…Anyway, why are you even blushing so much? Don’t tell me you’ve never seen a naked man before.” “…I don’t need to answer that. Also, you’re equally as flustered as I am! Now give me the document already!” snapped Ellen, leaving Jacob momentarily speechless. It t

Throughout the rest of that afternoon, Ellen continued checking in on Sophia’s mental state while also modifying her next plan here and there… and in the end, it was only at seven in the evening when she finally sighed and stretched. God, she was exhausted… Disliking the idea of making the long trip home and back again the next morning, Ellen figured that she may as well just rent one of the beds in the next room. With that, she got her phone out and was just about to order some takeout when all of a sudden… Jacob entered the ward again and said, “Here, got you some dinner.” From the looks of it, he had bought her pasta, some salad, and even Foie Gras… All food considered local to her. He had taken her preferences into consideration as well? Since she wasn’t saying anything, Jacob added, “What’s with that look? I just didn’t want you getting an upset stomach from eating non-native food…” Though Ellen started feeling that maybe he wasn’t all that bad after all, her hopes were
