This kidnapping incident seems to have had a huge impact on the girls.
Even Qi Wu, who was the caregiver, did a very deep self-examination after returning to the ward. She felt that she, as the caregiver, had an inescapable responsibility for what happened.
Despite Lorraine's repeated assurances that it wasn't her fault, Ke Qiwu still felt guilty.
——
Everyone realized that leaving just one person behind might not be enough to guarantee Lorraine's safety.
Just to be on the safe side.
The group even voted to cancel the original shift duty plan and directly change it to a joint protection plan.
Everyone seemed to have made up their minds, so they all stayed overnight until Lorraine was fully recovered.
Lorraine found it absurd.
But unexpectedly...
Even Waz sided with the girls this time. Due to the shortage of beds in the ward, at Waz's request, the hospital upgraded and replaced the beds in the ward that morning.
A super king-size bed that can accommodate eight people was placed in the ward.
These scenes...
It really shocked Lorraine.
——
Now.
Rather than describing this as a VIP ward in a hospital, Lorraine felt it was more like a luxurious hotel presidential suite, the kind more suited for couples.
"No, is this really the right thing to do?"
Lorraine was speechless.
Dr. Qin smiled meaningfully and leaned closer, saying, "This is a special ward prepared by the government for you magical girls, and there's even special funding for it. This is nothing, Mr. Lorraine. You don't need to feel guilty. Just enjoy yourself."
"They're incredibly generous in a place like this, even though they've been delaying paying my salary all along."
"Mr. Lorraine is so lucky. Even though he is injured, he is taken care of by so many lovely girls."
"I'm exhausted."
"However... there's something I think I should remind Mr. Lorraine of."
"What's up?"
"Mr. Lorraine is not yet fully recovered, so please exercise restraint in certain aspects. It is not too late to enjoy yourself after you are discharged from the hospital."
"......"
After hearing this, Lorraine's face darkened. "Dr. Qin, so you're also making fun of me, a critically ill patient?"
"Haha, it's just a doctor giving a heads-up beforehand."
——
After the ward renovation is completed.
Everyone gathered together, and Lorraine explained in detail the series of events that occurred after she was kidnapped.
The girls were all stunned.
Amakawa Kaoru pressed for an answer, her voice trembling with anxiety.
"Lorraine, was your answer to her question truly what you felt in your heart?"
All eyes turned to Lorraine.
Lorraine said frankly.
"It's been so long that I've really forgotten what it feels like to love someone. I didn't lie to her, and I didn't lie to you either. The definition of love is very vague. My feelings are actually very pure most of the time. It's just the hope to live happily and peacefully with the people or things I like."
"The person you like? Who is it?" Zhenzhu asked nervously.
Lorraine didn't know why she would ask such a question.
Reply directly.
"Of course it's you guys. I like each and every one of you the most."
These words were spoken.
Everyone fell silent for no apparent reason, their eyes darting around, and their faces flushed at a visible speed.
Momo said angrily.
"Ugh, everyone's being serious with you, stop joking."
"Who's joking with you? If I didn't like you, would I fight alongside you? Would I fight so desperately for you? And let me make this clear: I, Lorraine, only make friends with people I like. Who would be on friendly terms with someone they hate every day?"
Lorraine had just finished explaining in a very serious tone.
The girls instantly understood that the so-called "like" Lorraine had mentioned was not the kind of "like" they had been hoping for.
Once everyone understood, their expressions immediately turned speechless again.
Although everyone was a little disappointed to learn that Lorraine had never truly fallen in love with anyone, they were also quite happy at the same time.
Because that would also prove from another angle that I still have a chance.
Everything.
Everyone.
At this moment, everyone is in a state of fair competition.
Thank goodness...

In the following days.
Baihua doesn't seem to have reappeared. Perhaps she was quite frightened by the momentum of the crowd back then. In addition, she lost both her wife and her army in the kidnapping of Lorraine.
In a short period of time.
Baihua became somewhat withdrawn and stayed at home, becoming much more docile.
——
Thanks to the dedicated treatment from Magenta and Guliqi, Lorraine's injuries have recovered significantly.
He has now fully regained control of his right arm.
With his legs, he can walk on his own, albeit unsteadily, with the help of crutches.
I believe he will be fully recovered soon.
but……
Lorraine was getting impatient.
That night, Lorraine worked until 2 a.m., finally completing a major update to the old neural interface device.
