Ashe withdrew her gaze, rubbed her head, trying to sort out her messy thoughts.

And when he finished tidying up, Serena, who had changed into a white coat, just opened the door and entered.

After taking a hot bath and changing into new clothes, Serena's mood seemed to be calmer, and she didn't have a lost expression, but the moment her eyes met with Ashe's, her eyes still couldn't help being intense. trembling.

Taking two steps at a time, Serena sat on the front of the bed, and held Ashe's hand tightly like Hemo before—and the icy cold body temperature that was within reach made her fingers tremble slightly. Rubbing the back of Ashe's hand again and again.

"Yes...Did the doctor send you a message?" Ashe opened her mouth, and said the opening remarks somewhat bluntly.

"Ah."

Serena nodded and stared at Ashe without blinking: "After you were out of danger in the morning, she called me immediately and told me about Ifrit and you... I rushed over immediately .”

She described her "coming here" lightly in one sentence, but Ashe could imagine how panic, anxiety and pain it was like years for her during the three hours rushing from the hotel to Rhode Island.

"The last section of the viaduct that is prone to traffic jams, you ran over." Ashe said softly, "It's so embarrassing."

"I was in a hurry."

Sereya forced a smile: "I just ran for a while and the traffic stopped, and in the end it was 5 minutes faster than taking a car."

The five-kilometer viaduct is 5 minutes faster than taking a car.

Ashe took a deep breath, trying her best not to think about Seliya running around in the rain and mud, and said instead:

"Haven't you visited Ifrit yet?"

"The doctor said that Hemer is over there, and suggested that I better avoid it, and she will notify me immediately when Hemer leaves." Serena's eyes darkened, "I'm... not very suitable to meet Hemer yet. "

"That's right." Ashe considered the words for a while, and only said these two words.

Then, he fell silent.

The air fell silent.

"In the end what happened?"

After all, Saria asked the question.

The anxiety in her eyes was like the reservoir was full of flood water. If she didn't say these words, the dam would collapse.

"..." Ashe was silent, and after a long time, he said softly: "Didn't the doctor tell you? Ifrit's ore disease suddenly broke out, and now he is out of danger. I don't have any diseases, and my body is just a little weak ..."

"At this time, do you still want to hide it from me?"

Serena interrupted: "You know what I'm asking! What are the side effects of the treatment you gave Ifrit? Why did you suddenly become weak to the point where your organs are on the verge of failure!"

Her temperament is just like this. Unlike the gentle and tactful Hemer, Saria will not back down again and again in the face of Ashe's concealment, and she will not ease the atmosphere by peeling fruit. She can't figure out the truth. The director of the defense department will never let it go.

Knowing this, Ashe fell silent again.

"Ash—"

Serena held his hand a little tighter, "Now is not the time to throw a child's tantrum, you are not a doctor, but you also grew up in Rhine Life, you know, no matter how good a doctor is, if you don't know the cause I can't save you!"

"What is the reason? Is it related to Ifrit? Or is it an old injury you left before?"

"Why don't you want to say it? Or can't you say it? Is it Rhode Island that makes you feel unsafe? Then where do you think it's okay to say it? At least give me a place, okay?"

"Or is someone threatening to keep you from speaking? Who is that person? Does such a person exist? You don't need to talk, just nod or shake your head, okay?"

He asked questions like a cannonball, his tone became more and more anxious, and his bottom line became lower and lower.

But Ashe didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and he didn't speak until Saria stopped panting and stared at him, tired of asking:

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, but I can't answer your questions. I can only say, don't worry, I have a way to cure my illness, and there will be no sequelae..."

But halfway through the conversation, he was interrupted by the middle.

"Why don't you make me worry!"

Ashe's eyes widened in astonishment, seeing Saria's angry outburst for the first time in his life.

Her eye sockets have turned red, and her face has become distorted with anger:

"Don't worry! There is a solution! How come you said it so easily! I really want me not to worry. If I really want to prove that I have a solution, get up from bed and get me a healthy physical examination report!"

"I—it will take time—"

Ashe was overwhelmed by the sudden anger, he subconsciously defended, but his words were interrupted again.

"Time? How long? One day, one month, one year? Or did you wait until the day before you died of illness before you were ready to smile and tell me it was a white lie?"

Serena's anger became even hotter: "Who do you think you are lying to! I am a doctor! With your current condition, if you can't find the cause, a cold can kill you! There is no time!"

"..."

Ashe's consciousness gradually woke up from the shock, he opened his mouth, wanting to continue to argue, but even he knew that it was meaningless, so he closed his eyes and said nothing, like a stubborn child who endured his father's beating and scolding Same.

However, this appearance is simply confirming the correctness of all Seliya's previous doubts, especially "death" and "white lies".

So, under the dual effects of fear and anger, Serena trembled all over her body, tears finally came out of her eyes, and the string of reason broke. Almost like the instinctive reaction of all parents, she raised her hand suddenly, gathered all her strength, and prepared Slap the child in the face.

Hearing the sound of the wind raising her arms, Ashe remained motionless, without any intention of resisting.

However, after waiting for a long time, Ashe did not wait for that slap to come.

The air fell into an eerie silence.

Some kind of ominous premonition emerged in my heart.

Ashe opened her eyes suddenly, and saw that Saria kept her hand-raised posture unchanged, but turned her head to the door.

Her expression was stiff, as if petrified.

Ash turned her head slowly.

——Hemer stood at the door, looking at Saria with dead eyes.

Chapter 54 Quiet Whispers

Time seems to be frozen.

"No, Homer, you listen to me, I just—"

Saria finally realized what stupid thing she had done, and she suddenly withdrew her hand, trying to explain in a panic.

But as soon as the words were out of his mouth, Hemo strode over and stood in front of her, staring at her with eyes so cold that a polar bear could freeze to death.

Then, raise your hand.

【Snapped--! 】

The sound of loud slaps spread throughout the ward.

Hemo punched it out with all his strength, directly causing clear fingerprints to appear on half of Seliya's cheeks, and it quickly became red and swollen.

Serena staggered back a step, covered her face, and looked at Hemo stiffly.

"Get out."

Hemer said.

"I—" Serena opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something more.

"Get out of here!"

However, the next moment, Hemo's indifferent order turned into an angry roar.

Just like a female owl protecting her cubs, she spread all her feathers, neighed sharply, and stretched out her ferocious claws.

Saria trembled all over, staggered back, glanced at Ashe and Hemo for the last time in a trance, and fled into the corridor in a daze.

Ashe's expression was dull, everything happened so unexpectedly, before he had time to react, the volcano erupted beyond control.

"Well, Hemer, Saria is just—"

In the huge chaos, Ashe managed to squeeze out a few words, but was interrupted by Hemo who rushed forward and hugged him tightly.

"Stop talking... I don't want to know her reason. I just know that she shouldn't appear in front of you."

Hemer's embrace was strong and warm, like a stove in winter, but the voice was the opposite, as cold as ice.

The last time she heard Hemer's icy voice was at dawn after "that night", when she pushed the door open and saw Serena who was naked on the bed and was still kissing him passionately.

In the same way, he is still the fuse.

Ashe had a severe headache, but the current situation did not allow him to say a word, so he could only shut up obediently, and hugged Hemer tightly to calm down her rapid heartbeat.

"I'm sorry, I broke my promise. I clearly said I'd be back in a while. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have been caught by that guy..." After a while, Hemo whispered in Ashe's ear.

"It's okay, I heard from the nurse that ifrit's situation needs you more."

Ash's heart suddenly seemed to be stabbed by something, but he quickly forced a smile: "Speaking of which, since you rushed back, it proves that there is no problem with her, right?"

"Well, the sudden heart rhythm disorder, but no pathological heart problem was found, so it should still be part of the sequelae."

Hemer raised her head, and after her anger subsided, her face was filled with undisguised deep exhaustion, her face was pale, and her eyes were frighteningly bloodshot: "If there is a similar situation again, I don't have to rush over there. More time to take care of you..."

"No, you are the one who needs to be taken care of."

Ashe looked at her face for a while, then shook her head: "Hemer, it's time for you to rest, go to sleep."

"Why? I'm not that fragile. Before you were born, I survived for five days and five nights..." Hemer forced a smile, as if to prove his health, and let go Arm, stood up, stretched out his hand to the fruit basket on the table, "Let me peel you another apple—"

However, as soon as he stood halfway, Hemer's body shook and he fell down on the hospital bed.

Ashe caught her quickly, and saw that her eyes were a little out of focus.

"Doctor!" he yelled, pressing the bell.

Hemo's eyes quickly regained consciousness, and her hand moved, as if trying to prevent Ashe from ringing the bell, but she stretched halfway, but dropped it again.

She sighed, closed her eyes, and relaxed into Ashe's arms.

——She was really tired. In the past 48 hours, it was not only physical exhaustion, but also psychological torture. I couldn't lift a single finger.

Seeing Hemo like this, Ashe bit her lips tightly, as if she had knocked over a bottle of five flavors in her heart, mixed with sweet, bitter and spicy.

"Sleep well."

He hugged Homer tightly.

Half a minute later, when the doctor arrived, Hemo had already fallen asleep in his arms.

Simple diagnosis, it was determined that it was just overtiredness, and a good night's sleep was enough. Considering that she hadn't eaten for a long time, the doctor gave her a bottle of glucose.

When the nurses were about to carry her into the folding bed and take her to other wards, Ashe's heart moved, she hesitated for a while, and said, "Let her stay here and sleep."

The nurses looked at each other. Logically speaking, the ICU cannot allow two patients to stay together at the same time. However, Hemer is not a patient in the strict sense, but also the deputy director of the medical department. Ashe is also a little angel familiar to the whole island. Acquaintances, coupled with the doctor's entrustment to "fulfill all requirements as much as possible" before leaving, it seems that you don't need to care about regulations.

But there is still one small problem that needs to be paid attention to...

"Ash, what is the relationship between Director Hemer and you?"

The head nurse coughed lightly, and said with a subtle expression: "There is also Ms. Sereya who rushed in just now. If I remember correctly, Ifrit said that she and Director Hemer used to be a couple, but just now you ..."

She coughed again and didn't continue speaking, but showed a strange expression of "you know what I'm asking".

The little nurses next to her also widened their eyes and straightened their ears.

Regardless of race, this land is full of curious animals.

But anyone with a basic imagination, after seeing the scene that Serena caused, and seeing Hemer slap Serena in the observation room, will naturally make up Ashe, Hemer and All kinds of love-hate, love-hate, relationship and reason dramas between the three of Seliya.

After all, a pair of ex-same-sex couples who broke up lost their souls and even fought each other because of the same teenager. How do you look at it like a romantic drama?

However, it is really unexpected that Director Hemer's unsmiling and old-fashioned temperament is secretly obsessed with 15-year-old children... and the Ms. Sereya who rushed in looks even worse than Director Kelsey. It's scary, but the result is also a good tune.

Tsk tsk tsk, people should not be judged by their appearance.

The nurses exchange glances.

Seeing that Hemo was about to be murdered, Ashe couldn't afford to play around like she did when she lied to Shining. She sighed and said:

"I'm Ifrit's older brother."

"what?"

"what?"

"Gah?"

There were exclamations one after another, and the face-changing scene was staged in turn.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we are wrong, I just think about some messy things in my mind all day—"
