Chapter 69 Loneliness
Later, he was adopted by a neighbor who had always taken good care of his family.
Although his new family took good care of him, the devastating news kept swirling in his mind.
He has been frequently ill since then.
His current illness seems to have accumulated from that time, through a series of minor ailments.
Of course, the dog's worldview also plays a role in this.
Otherwise, how could the doctor not have detected it?
It's simply that they don't want him, an outsider, to have a healthy body.
Sensing that Qianzhu was in a low mood, 01 gently rubbed his cheek.
Qianzhu snapped out of her daze, raised her hand to hold 01, and a warm smile appeared on her bloodless face as she stroked the fur on 01's body with her fingertips.
"Don't worry, I'm not unhappy," he said with a soft laugh.
01 Seeing that he didn't seem unhappy, she nodded.
He gently patted it and put it down, leaning his back against the headboard with a deep look in his eyes. He raised his hand to cover his heart and sighed.
I looked up at the ceiling.
To be honest, he still couldn't quite understand why Chino Chitake would be willing to give up his identity to him.
“01, why do you think he would be willing to give up his identity to me?” he asked softly.
01 A human-like confusion rises from the dark pupils.
[I don't know either, maybe it's because... I'm too lonely?] It was also half-convinced by its own guess.
But it is true.
Two years ago, his adoptive parents also died in a car accident. After handling their funeral and other arrangements, he returned to his parents' hometown, Japan.
Due to some acclimatization issues or health reasons, he moved several times within two years, finally settling in Beika Town after many twists and turns.
He had only been in Beika Town for half a month.
Moreover, the original owner had no relatives or friends, and had almost nothing to do except compose music on a daily basis.
If Qianzhu hadn't suddenly come into this world and become him, he might still be living a life of constantly moving.
Qianzhu let out a breath, a faint sense of melancholy lingering in her heart.
01 might be right; he decided to give up his identity to him because he was too lonely.
Raising her hand to cover her eyes, Qianzhu suddenly chuckled softly.
01 I don't quite understand.
Qianzhu touched it.
I am in my own world.
He is also in his world.
We are the same kind of people, but we are also a little different.
Qianzhu thought to herself.
But a gentle smile graced his face. "I'll go wash up first."
01 nodded: [Yes, Master.]
Mori smacked his lips and opened his drowsy eyes, subconsciously looking at the hospital bed next to him. But as soon as he touched the empty bed, he jumped up instantly, becoming completely awake.
"Where is Qianzhu?!"
He even lifted the blanket to take a look.
Just then, the bathroom door opened, and Chizuru, wiping her hands, looked at Mori with a puzzled expression. "Uncle Mori, I'm here."
Mori abruptly turned to look at him, then strode up to him, put his hand on his shoulder, and looked him up and down with a serious expression. "Are you alright?!"
Qianzhu was unusually stunned for a moment, "I...I'm fine."
Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief, then staggered back a few steps and sat on the hospital bed as if all his strength had left him. "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. If Ran knew I hadn't kept a close eye on him, she would definitely give me a good scolding..." he muttered to himself.
