Chapter 313

• Teasing was inevitable. I entered Kristoff Adler's ward with a brave face. I expected many people to be visiting him, considering his prominence. However, it was different. The old man lay on the bed, peacefully sleeping. The snow-white sheets made his hair appear even whiter, giving him a kind and gentle appearance. I thought to myself that people have no aggressiveness when they sleep, and I quietly entered.
• The ward was incredibly quiet. Even the sound of a falling needle could be heard.
• I cautiously walked in and sat down on a chair. I felt relieved that Kristoff Adler was sleeping, allowing me to spend a few peaceful hours. Otherwise, I would have to engage in conversation, and I didn't want to make him uncomfortable. It was a dilemma.
