---- Chapter 5 Just when I thought I was going to die there, I heard the sounds of intense fighting nearby. The rogues tearing at me scattered in all directions and I heard a concerned voice asking, "Miss, are you okay? Can you stand up?" The patrol team had arrived just in time. They rescued me and thoughtfully took me to the hospital. I lay on the hospital bed, aching all over. Fortunately, there was no serious damage and the doctor said that I'd be fine after a few days of rest. The kind patrol team members helped arrange all my hospital examinations.

The next day, Adrian's mother, Margaret Whitmore, came carrying a thermos. "Elena, Adrian asked me to take care of you." She awkwardly helped me adjust my pillows, complaining gently, "Going to such a distant place, Sophia definitely won't be used to it. Adrian can be so careless sometimes. I just don't know if he'll be able to take good care of her..." Halfway through, she seemed to realize something and awkwardly closed her mouth.
