Chapter 17 Emil's Concern

• I could barely open my eyes under the glaring sun. Emil's figure started to get hazy in my eyes. The moment I collapsed, I felt helpless. This body of mine had finally given up on me, and it would rot openly on the streets—at least, that was what I thought. The next time I opened my eyes, I found myself in the hospital with Emil beside me. His eyes were chilly as usual, but within them was a trace of tenderness.
• As he saw me open my eyes, he stood by the bed and quizzed, "What happened?" He had his back facing the lights, looking like a celestial being that had just descended from the skies. For a brief moment, I even considered that he was worried about me. Otherwise, why would he even be here?
• "What happened to me?" I voiced another question instead of answering his.
