Thinking of this, Vermouth's heart trembled, and while cutting the steak, she took the opportunity to glance at the watch on her wrist.

Hoshino Aoi keenly noticed the slight pause in her fingertips. While she understood, she pretended to be confused and asked Vermouth with a puzzled look:

"Mr. Arata, do you have anything else to do later?"

Seeing that 'Niide Tomoaki' was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't quite understand how she came to this conclusion, Hoshino Aoi raised her finger slightly, pointed at his hand that was cutting the steak, and said with a smile:

"I saw you paused for a moment, maybe you remembered something."

After saying this, she put on an expectant look and took the initiative to suggest:

"If you need my help, please don't hesitate to ask, Mr. Shinde."

'Niide Tomoaki' didn't seem to expect her to say that at all, but in response to her kindness, 'he' just chuckled, then shook his head and said:

"It's nothing serious. I just suddenly remembered the little girl at Dr. Agasa's house. I'm a little worried about her health. I wonder if her condition has improved."

Hearing this, Solana raised an eyebrow, as if she was a little dissatisfied that he was thinking about other things even though he was clearly dating her. However, when she saw his worried face, as if he was really worried about the girl, her eyebrows twitched slightly, but she suppressed her displeasure and said to Aida Tomoaki:

"It seems that she is fine now. Yukiko specially cooked some porridge for her yesterday and sent it over. When she came back, she said that she had woken up. She still looked a little lethargic, but her fever was no longer as high. She should be completely well in two days."

"That's good."

'Niide Tomoaki' seemed to have relaxed a little, but from his slightly furrowed brows, one could still tell that he was absent-minded.

Seeing this, as the number one pursuer of 'Tomoaki Aride', how could 'Solana' bear to watch 'him' get into trouble?

So naturally, she put down her knife and fork, and turned to the tasteless 'Niide Tomoaki' and whispered:

"I was originally thinking of going to the movies together after dinner, but if Mr. Arata is really worried about the child, why don't we just stop here today? We can watch movies anytime after all..."

She looked a little regretful, but despite the surprised look of 'Niide Tomoaki', she still tried to act magnanimous and persuaded 'Niide Tomoaki':

"Besides, the child only has his uncle, Dr. Agasa, at home, and the fever has just subsided, so it's really worrying."

"But you... this doesn't seem appropriate, does it? I can visit her tomorrow after get off work, that should be fine..."

However, despite saying this, there was a hint of hesitation on the face of 'Niide Tomoaki'.

It was obvious that 'he' actually wanted to visit Haibara Ai right now, but he didn't want to make 'Solana' sad, so he was a little hesitant for a while.

According to Solana's personality, she should pretend to be generous and let him visit the patient, and then use this as an opportunity to make him feel guilty and take the initiative to ask her out to play.

If this is really a pursuit, then it is undoubtedly a good show of retreating to advance and reversing offense and defense.

Unfortunately, the two people present were not normal people.

So he thought that he could kill Shirley today, and then burn the house and tear off the mask, so who would care about tomorrow's date? He pretended to be very worried about the child, but also worried that Solana would be unhappy.

The other one was looking to stir up trouble, and even wanted to see if if he really followed her wishes and told her not to go, she would reveal her true colors, such as pulling out a gun in the parking lot and planning to kill her first as she was in the way.

But she thought of the text message Judy sent her, which stated the time they would take Haibara Ai away and the location of the ambush.

Considering that today is the final showdown in the "Full Moon Arc", if it is ruined by her whim, not to mention whether it will have any impact on the subsequent plot, the appearance of Toru Amuro will definitely be postponed.

Thinking of this, even though Hoshino Aoi was itching to cause trouble, she could only suppress her impulse and turned to 'Aniide Tomoaki' with a more gentle and considerate smile.

"It's okay. Besides, Mr. Arata is so serious and responsible towards his patients. It makes me even more moved."

After saying that, she tilted her head and winked at 'him' mischievously:

"But this can't be considered a date between the two of us, so Mr. Shinde, remember that you owe me a date, and you have to make it up to me later~"

"must."

Thinking that he would be able to escape soon, 'Niide Tomoaki' also smiled.

Solana watched him pay the bill in advance and leave the restaurant. Only when she could no longer see him did she slowly, slowly lower her head.

The curve of the corners of her lips drooped along with her owner's depressed mood. 'Solana' cut the steak piece by piece, and the tiny sound made the waiters around her slow down their pace.

While she was concentrating on cutting the steak, the figure hiding in the corner slowly retreated until it was hidden in the safe passage again. Only then did she pursed her lips and completely feel relieved.

It seemed that she didn't notice that something was wrong with her.
