Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside the wall behind her, which Wu Tina heard very clearly.
Is it Mom again?
She instinctively thought it was her mother coming to bring her breakfast or something, but something was wrong. The footsteps sounded strange; there were more than two people!
Have any other guests visited your home?
Who is it?
The footsteps stopped at the door of her room. Could it be Xiao Qiwu, or Zhenzhu, Momo, or Gulixi, one of them, coming to visit her?
Wu Tina instinctively wondered who this guest might be.
But no matter who it is...
She feels too ashamed to face everyone anymore. She has ruined everything. How can she face everyone now?
Thinking this way.
Wu Tina felt even more sorrowful.
——
Knock knock.
Sure enough, a knock sounded at the door, and her mother's voice came through, "Wu Tina, open the door, Mom needs to talk to you."
No response.
Knock knock.
"Wu Tina, you're in your room, right?"
There was still no response.
as always.
Just as Lady Hiiragi was about to knock on the door harder, Lorraine stopped her.
Lorraine shook her head at her and said softly.
"Leave this place to me, Mrs. Hiiragi. Could you please excuse me for a moment?"
"I……"
Lady Hiiragi clearly wanted to stay, but Lorraine's attitude told her that what she was about to say was definitely something that needed to be kept secret.
After much deliberation, she had no choice but to trust the other person.
"Then, Brother Lin, I'm entrusting this child to you."
"Yes, she'll pull herself together."
"good."
That's all I have to say.
Lady Hiiragi glanced one last time at the tightly closed door before turning and leaving.
——
Inside the room.
Hearing her mother's footsteps leave, Wu Tina silently said "I'm sorry" in her heart.
Sudden.
A clear prying sound came from the direction of the door lock, startling Wu Tina.
Hasn't Mom already left?
Who could be standing at their door right now?!
Was the other person trying to pick the lock?
How could that be!
——
Before Wu Tina could even react and get up to stop the door, it was suddenly pried open from the outside with a click, even though it had been locked from the inside.
As the door slowly opened.
A bright light shone in instantly, illuminating the entire dark room.
Under Wu Tina's still-shaken and tense gaze, a familiar figure, whom she never expected, leaned out and, after a quick search, discovered her standing there.
The voice she had been longing for rang out and reached her ears.
"Yo, Tina, long time no see! How have you been?"
"Lin... Brother Lin???"
Click.
The lights in the room were turned on, and the dim room instantly became bright and clear.
By the light.
Lorraine also got a good look at Wu Tina's appearance and attire. Having been cooped up in her room for so long, Wu Tina now looked disheveled, haggard, and completely like a lifeless, dejected girl.
It seemed that he was also aware that the other party was sizing him up.
Wu Tina knew better than anyone how embarrassed she was. To appear in front of her favorite person in such a disheveled and unkempt state was truly unbearable.
For a moment, she even felt like dying.
"ah!!!"
A scream rang out, and Wu Tina danced around, shouting, "Brother Lin, why did you suddenly appear in my house? Waaah! Stop staring at me like that! I must look awful right now!"
She was so ashamed she almost cried.
Lorraine laughed heartily.
"That's great, you seem to have a lot of energy. That puts my mind at ease."
"Huh?"
While Wu Tina was puzzled.
Lorraine, leaning on her cane, entered the room.
Wu Tina, who had also clearly seen the other person's appearance, froze on the spot, her eyes instantly filled with extreme heartache. "Brother Lin, what happened to you...? Why did you suddenly run out of the hospital? You look so pale! What happened to you? Are your legs still not healed? Does it hurt? Why did you run out? What if you encountered some accident on the way?"
Amidst the series of rebukes, there was also deep concern and care.
"Nothing serious happened to me, I was just worried about you, so I wanted to come and see you."
Lorraine wanted to get closer to the other person.
However, the room was messy, with clutter scattered all over the floor.
Lorraine was caught off guard.
Just then, his cane stepped on the four-pointed star transformation device, causing him to slip and fall forward with a thud onto the floor.
"Hiss!!!"
The excruciating pain emanating from his legs and throughout his body made Lorraine gasp in shock.
"Brother Lin!"
Wu Tina's expression changed drastically on the spot. She rushed over and quickly picked up Lorraine from the ground, using all her strength to carry him to her bed.
She was so tired that her body felt like it was falling apart.
After putting him down, Wu Tina kept checking Lorraine's body and asked worriedly, "Brother Lin, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? Does anything hurt a lot? Waaah, I'm so sorry! It's all my fault for making such a mess in my room, which is why you fell."
