Chapter 287 I'm also quite curious whether you'll tell her.

Every heartbeat and every breath he took brought him a slight pain.

The delicate, pale boy's brows were furrowed, his fingertips trembled, and strands of hair brushed against his cheeks, their ink-black color seemingly indistinguishable from his dull, empty eyes.

His mind went blank, as if he were immersed in invisible pain.

Finally, he closed his eyes again, and his head drooped limply.

A sigh echoed from inside the room.

A white figure walked to the sofa, sat down next to the boy, and gently cupped his head, letting him rest it on his shoulder.

His azure eyes glanced indifferently at the three little creatures—Ball, Pigeon, and Black Cat—who were lying quietly on the coffee table like chickens.

01 swallowed hard.

Even though they are both hosts, why does Mr. R, the host, feel particularly oppressive?

R glanced at them briefly, then calmly took out a syringe and two capsules.

After injecting the medicine from the syringe into his own body as Qianzhu, he fed the capsule into his mouth.

As his weak breathing gradually gained strength, R picked him up and carried him back to his bed in the room. After covering him with a blanket, he turned and went back to the living room.

Before leaving, R gently patted 01, a gentle smile appearing on his lips.

Hospital.

Machi and Maru arrived at Conan's hospital room.

At that moment, Heiji Hattori, who had come all the way to visit Conan, was chatting with him.

When Conan said, "We can't keep this a secret without clones," Machi Kawasaki gave a mischievous yet adorable smile and knocked on the door.

The two people in the room were so shocked that their expressions changed simultaneously, and the Corgi, who was lying down, even sat up abruptly.

"Conan! I've come to visit you!"

So it was true knowledge after all...

Hearing the familiar voice of Machi Kawasaki, Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not a big problem...

Yeah, right!

Conan stared wide-eyed at the platinum-haired boy with an eye patch following behind Makoto, his heart nearly leaping into his throat, especially after the boy gave him a meaningful look, which intensified his inexplicable sense of despair.

"Conan, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?" Machi cheerfully placed the flowers she was holding on the cabinet, then smiled brightly at Hattori Heiji. "Hello!"

Unsure if they had overheard their conversation, Hattori Heiji scratched the back of his head awkwardly and chuckled, "Ahahaha, hello, hello."

After chatting with Conan for a while, Machi prepared to leave. "My brother and I have things to do, so that's all for today. See you later, Conan!"

The young boy waved to Conan at the door, smiled and said goodbye before leaving.

Kawasaki Maru followed behind him, but before closing the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Conan, speaking in a flat tone as if he were saying something unremarkable.

"I'm also quite curious whether you'll tell her about this, Shinichi Kudo."

Conan and Heiji Hattori: !!!

"Goodbye." Kawasaki Maru nodded to him and gently closed the door.

Heiji Hattori and Conan are internally screaming "It's all over!"

"Um, if he hears this, will it have any impact?" Hattori Heiji coughed twice and asked tentatively.

Conan looked speechless, his eyes clearly saying, "What do you think?"

Hattori Heiji chuckled awkwardly, then immediately became serious again. "But what are you planning to do next?"
