"She wants to see ? What does she an by that?" Sam asked.
Mia responded over the phone, "I don't know exactly what she ans, but she said she wants to thank you in person. She's still in the hospital, undergoing therapy, so she can't move around freely yet. She asked to bring you over to see her."
Sam thought for a mont.
In that dream, what he did to Charlotte couldn't be described as gentle.
He practically barged in with a knife.
So her saying she genuinely wants to thank him... Sam was skeptical. It was more likely she wanted to give him a hard ti, right?
After all, to convince her to wake up, Sam had said so pretty harsh things.
He didn't hold back at all.
"Is that all?"
"What else?"
"Nothing, I just thought she might bla ."
Mia replied, slightly annoyed, "Bla you for what... I know Charlotte. She's a kind and gentle girl. Although she seed out of control in the dream, her true self is very sweet and lovely. Don't worry."
No matter how much he thought about it, without seeing her, Sam couldn't get a clear answer.
Moreover, Mia kept urging him.
"Is it okay? If so, I'll ride my motorbike over."
After so consideration, Sam finally agreed to her invitation.
"Alright, co over."
He was curious about how Charlotte viewed the events in the dream after waking up. He thought about his sister, Ava. The lie detector test results showed that Ava had lied to him.
Ava rembered what happened in the dream.
What kind of impact would the dream have on Ava? Would the 'Ava' he saw affect the real Ava negatively? These were questions that needed answers. And Charlotte might be a good reference point.
About half an hour later, Mia arrived downstairs.
The weather was nice today. Sam, wearing a long coat, didn't feel the cold wind as he went downstairs.
No wonder the woman riding the motorbike over was smiling at him.
"You're so slow. I don't even take this long to put on makeup!"
Mia, holding a helt, complained as soon as she saw Sam.
Sam chuckled. "You asked to co with you, but you don't want to wait. How does that work? Besides, it only took five minutes to change. Did it really take longer than your makeup?"
"Stop talking and get on. If we're any later, it'll be dark."
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Because you were slow."
"n shouldn't be too fast, you know."
"Pfft!"
The young woman, her cheeks slightly flushed, put on her helt.
Sam also put on his helt and sat behind her.
Although Sam could ride a bike himself, he had no interest in driving at the mont. Having a woman in front to block the wind was quite nice, wasn't it?
Sitting in the back seat, Sam felt very comfortable.
He could even hold Mia's soft waist a bit. Wasn't that pleasant?
They soon arrived at the hospital.
"If she woke up and wants to see , it ans she clearly rembers the dream, right?" Sam asked as they walked.
Mia nodded. "Yes, she even rembers what we said and did in the dream."
"How did you explain this phenonon? Did you tell her it's your superpower?"
Such things couldn't be explained with normal reasons. Mia sighed slightly.
"It was the only way. Given the situation, I had to tell her it was my ability. Fortunately, she understood and wasn't too shocked."
"Aren't you worried she'll leak this information? In this world, having superpowers isn't a good thing. It only brings trouble."
Mia glared at Sam.
"Do you want to be taken by so research institute as a lab rat?"
Sam looked at her innocently.
"Boss, how could you think that of ? I'm just looking out for you."
"You better be... But don't worry. She promised not to tell anyone, not even her parents. She explained her awakening as sothing she didn't understand herself."
"That's good... How is she doing now?"
"She's fine. The doctors have checked her multiple tis and found no serious aftereffects. Optimistically, she could regain her mobility after the New Year."
It seed like the best outco.
No risk of exposure, and they achieved the goal of saving the girl.
But Sam instinctively felt that things might not be that simple. Good hopes were just hopes.
They finally arrived outside the hospital room.
Mia opened the door and walked in first.
As soon as Sam entered, he heard a slightly surprised voice.
"Ms. Mia, you're here?"
Mia looked at the girl sitting on the hospital bed, still in her hospital gown.
Her complexion was much better than when she was unconscious. The days of recovery had made her skin look even better, and her already beautiful features now radiated youthful vitality.
Her aura was just as Mia rembered.
A pure beauty.
Mia smiled as she approached Charlotte.
"Yes, I ca to see how you're doing before the New Year."
"Why didn't you tell in advance, Ms. Mia?"
Charlotte still seed a bit shy, retaining so of her social anxiety habits.
Mia smiled and stepped aside.
"Because it's not just . Look who I brought."
When Sam appeared behind Mia.
Charlotte's eyes widened slightly.
It was like the dream had co to life, even clearer than in the dream.
This handso and uniquely charismatic boy appeared before her, standing in the sunlight. His simple, unadorned attire naturally drew everyone's attention.
His features, as if ticulously sculpted by the heavens, were unforgettable.
Just one look made Charlotte's cheeks quickly flush.
"It's... it's you!"
She blurted out, then shyly lowered her head, more reserved and bashful than a typical girl.
Sam knew about her history of social anxiety, so he wasn't surprised. He walked over to Mia and smiled.
"Hello, Senior Charlotte."
"Senior?"
Charlotte murmured, cautiously and almost sneakily glancing at Sam.
Mia explained with a smile.
"Yes, he's from the sa school as you, Kuhang High. You're a grade above him, so it's natural for him to call you Senior."
Charlotte was surprised.
"Really... but I don't think I've heard of you... Your na is..."
"Sam. Just call Sam. Before, in... well, I had to lie to you. I hope you don't mind."
He had told her his na was Louis in the dream.
Charlotte nodded shyly.
"It's... it's okay. Thank you and Ms. Mia for everything..."
Mia smiled.
"It's nothing. The important thing is that you're awake. Everything else doesn't matter."
Looking at the unusually shy and pure girl, Sam smiled.
"Seeing you like this makes everything worth it. How's your health?"
Charlotte didn't expect Sam to say that, and her pale cheeks turned even redder, her ears seemingly blushing too.
"Mm, mm, it's... it's okay. The doctor said I might be able to consider discharge in about a week... Thank you again."
Mia sat on the edge of the bed and hugged Charlotte's shoulders.
"No need to thank us. Your job now is to recover and return to normal life. Don't overthink anything else. If you have any difficulties, you can still co to us."
Charlotte looked gratefully at the young woman beside her.
Her eyes even seed to glisten with tears.
"I was too willful before... I caused you so much trouble, I..."
Mia gently patted her back.
Her eyes softened.
"It's nothing. If anyone should apologize, it's . If I hadn't been working late, you wouldn't have had that accident..."
But before Mia could finish, her phone rang.
She took out her phone.
"I need to take this call."
Charlotte nodded.
Mia answered the call and frowned.
"Really? My bike isn't parked properly? But it's a motorcycle... Ah, okay, I'll co down and move it. Just a mont."
Mia hung up and looked at the two of them.
"I need to move my bike. You two chat. I'll be right back."
"Okay... take your ti."
Mia stood up, hesitated as she passed Sam, then whispered.
"Talk to her nicely. Rember... don't be a womanizer."
Sam found it both amusing and exasperating.
He didn't mind the lack of trust.
As Mia left. Sam looked around, then pulled up a chair and sat down.
Charlotte sat on the bed, seemingly unsure of what to say.
Sam thought about finding a topic to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.
But before he could, he heard a voice, completely different from the shy and timid tone before.
"Sam... you said so pretty harsh things to , didn't you?"
Sam looked up.
The girl on the bed, who had seed timid and shy, now showed no blush or shyness.
Instead, she appeared strangely calm.
She even stared directly at him.
Her gaze... was dark.
