Chapter 117 - Claire’s Illness (1) (1/2)

London, 12:01 pm.

Aleen was seated in the waiting room of a hospital.

It had been ten minutes from the moment when Claire was admitted to the hospital after she was brought in by an ambulance.

She was immediately brought into the emergency room, and a middle-aged doctor began to check her situation. But Aleen did not hear anything else about her from then.

Currently, he was waiting to hear the doctor's diagnostic.

Due to her illness, Claire had been hospitalized more than once when she was a child; and sometimes, she had to spend many days inside the hospital.

However, her situation had improved in the last few years.

With the help of medical treatment, the doctors had reduced the symptoms and allowed her to live a normal daily life.

So, though she was still ill, and the symptoms sometimes returned, the last time that she fainted was a few years ago.

This was the first time she fainted in a long time.

While Aleen was worried waiting for news about Claire, someone touched his shoulder.

"… Are you alright?"

Aleen moved his gaze and saw that Aya had appeared beside him without him noticing.

"… How come you are here?" He asked with a bit of surprise on his voice.

"I heard someone in the ambulance saying that they were going to bring Claire to this hospital, so I came here. Lily is waiting outside."

Aleen nodded briefly.

He noticed that Aya's clothes were slightly tattered. Aleen changed his clothes while waiting for the ambulance to come, but Aya continued using the clothes that Claire lent her yesterday; the same clothes she used in the game.

"… Claire... Is she alright?" She asked concerned.

Aleen shook his head with a worried expression. "I don't know. The doctor has not said anything."

At that moment, the middle-aged doctor that attended Claire came out from the emergency room.

"Doctor, what happened?" Aleen stood up instantly and walked towards him.

"You are the familiar of Claire Kane, right?" He said while looking at Aleen. "I must say that the situation was a bit dangerous when she came, but fortunately, she already is out of danger."
