758 Intertwined Fates (1/2)
Nora turned her head and looked at Dylan who asked this question. She nodded in reply. Dylan took a seat beside her and asked, ”Why is she sighing so much?”
Nora shrugged her shoulders, ”I don't know. Since the time she came out of the room she's been sighing here like this.”
”Why? Is everything alright with Dazi and Xiu?” He was suddenly anxious again. ”But I heard they woke up and they're doing better than expected.”
”Keep your voice down,” said Nora. ”I also heard both of them are fine. As for why she's sighing is something only she can tell.”
Dylan finally eased up a little and slumped down in his seat.
”Which lawyer are you getting for your sister?” asked Nora and Dylan's brows moved. ”I mean you'll need someone to defend her in court. Although, it'd be quite pointless.”
”Do you really have to ask me that right now?” questioned Dylan.
”Never mind...”
Soon, a maid brought a cup of coffee for Nora which she had asked for earlier. ”Do you need anything else, ma'am?”
Nora shook her head and looked at the snacks that she brought along with coffee, ”You brought more than enough. Just bring something for these two.”
The maid inquired both Dylan and Dr. Ling if they needed anything before leaving them alone.
”Are you on night watch?” Dylan asked Nora.
”Everyone is on night watch,” replied Nora. ”People seem to have forgotten how to sleep around here. You'll see someone coming to check up every hour.”
”How's Francesca? Is she still sleeping?”
”Gave her some sleeping pills and forced her to sleep.”
On their side, Dr. Ling broke out of her daydreaming because of their voices. She looked at them intently. Or more like, she was looking at Dylan.
”You're Qiu Meihui's brother, right?” she suddenly asked making both Dylan and Nora turn their attention to her. ”Qiu Hedi, if I'm not wrong?”
”You know my sister?”
Dr. Ling made a complicated face, ”High school classmate...”
”Oh,” was all Dylan said and didn't continue.
She hesitated for a long time before finally voicing out, ”I'm really sorry for asking this. Really sorry. I know I shouldn't be talking about it. But I really need confirmation right now.”
”Please, go ahead,” said Dylan.
Before she could ask, Nora helped her out, ”Doctor here wants to know whether your sister is really in jail or not.”
