"I told you, it's probably going to be fine…" Walking on the corridor with the stretched out long red carpet, Elizabeth glanced at Ellie who was beside her. The latter's firm expression told Elizabeth that her words seemed to reach deaf ears.  "Nuh-uh, I'll get you back to your own place, with my car, together. You just woke up from a coma today, remember? Letting you get back alone is definitely a no go." "You are too overprotective, Ellie." "And you are too careless, Beth," retorted immediately, Ellie shook her head, "According to what you've said to me, you've been stalked by these… weird hooded wizards for multiple times right?

Turning her body, she didn't hesitate to rush forward and left Iron Veil to deal with the esper, despite the guilt that crawled into her chest and pounding her already drumming heart.  A few seconds later, more than a couple crashing sounds echoed and Elizabeth closed her eyes as she ran.

Somehow, Elizabeth could see the tips of Kevin's ears were so red whilst he walked to the opposing Esper.  "The hell are-" Again, the esper's words were cut off while a giant hole replaced the carved face. Clicking his tongue, Kevin said, "Is that all?" The ground rumbled in the next second below

In the next morning, when the sunlight beamed through the room's window, Elizabeth was roused from her slumber and found a nurse already standing beside her whilst writing some stuff on a note. When the nurse noticed Elizabeth's look, she smiled and greeted her, "Morning, miss Elizabeth. It's time for your morning medicine." "...Medicine?" sitting up, Elizabeth moved her eyes and saw a glass of water, a bottle of pills, and breakfast tray beside them. Tilting her head, she asked, "What kind of medicine?" "It's to speed up your muscle regeneration, increase your blood and make your body immune. The bullet penetrated deep until it reached your bone. Added with the blood loss, it's a miracle you haven't died yet and still could move around in that state, miss Elizabeth. We even have to do a surgery to take out the bullet. Come, with thi
