After calling Gans, Alex noticed a beautiful woman walking toward the doctor's office.
"That woman looks pretty… but where is she going?" Alex muttered to herself.
Curiosity sparked in her eyes, and without hesitation, she followed the woman quietly, careful not to be seen.

Meanwhile, Sora and Ren were waiting anxiously for the doctor's report. The hallway felt suffocatingly silent, every second stretching longer than the last.
The emergency room doors finally opened, and the doctor stepped out, his expression unreadable.
Sora immediately stood up. "Doctor… how is my brother?" he asked, his tone filled with worry.
The doctor paused for a moment before speaking.
"He is in a very serious condition," he said carefully. "It appears he is half-bonded with someone. He might survive… or he might not."
The words hung heavily in the air.
The words struck Sora like a physical blow.
"Half… bonded?" His voice trembled, barely above a whisper. "What do you mean half-bonded?"
