I didn't want to sleep anymore as I'd just woken up and I had plenty of sleep already. I said, "There shouldn't be so many people who hate me so much that they want to kill me, and there should be less who have the guts to do so."

After thinking about it, no matter who I thought of, they did not seem to have the guts.

Naomi came in and her eyes were swollen. It seemed that she had been crying for a long time.

Seeing that I was awake, she was not bothered by the fact that Hendrix was still holding me in his arms. She ran directly to the other side of the bed and threw herself on me. Sobbing, she said, "You've finally woken up. You've been sleeping for three days. I thought you had abandoned me and didn't want to take me to Jarold City."

All of sudden, I had the weight of two people on me.

Fortunately, Sebastian pulled Naomi up and said, "She just woke up. Are you going to make her unconscious again?"

"Boo! You jinx!" Naomi pushed Hendrix and said angrily, "Arianna will live for a hundred more years."

After saying that, she wiped her tears and looked at me, clearly blaming herself, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were allergic to sesame seeds. If I knew that there was so much sesame powder in the cheese, I wouldn't have bought it for you!"

I smiled faintly and reached out to hold her hand. I patted the back of her hand and said, "It's not your fault. I didn't realize it myself. It was an accident!"

Naomi was still blaming herself, "If you weren't allergic, you wouldn't have come to the hospital, let alone went through what happened next. It's all my fault. If I catch the person who took you away, I'll kill him!" Sebastian looked at Hendrix and asked, "Did you catch him?"

Hendrix pressed his lips together. His meaning was clear.

Naomi was puzzled. "Didn't we see what the man looked like in the recordings? Even if he wore a mask, it's impossible to not find him. It's been three days!"

"They switched people in the middle. When they left the elevator, they changed hands. The person who brought Arianna into the morgue was not the person who injected her with anesthesia," Hendrix said with a slight frown. "Those people covered their tracks well and avoided all of the surveillance cameras before entering the morgue."

Sebastian went silent for a while, and then he asked, "So, we lost all the leads from there then?"

Hendrix raised his eyebrows and patted me gently on the back.

Naomi saw that there seemed to be nothing else to discuss, so she said, "Forget it, let's eat first. There are still a lot of matters waiting for us in Lancille Village. We have to go to the restaurant afterwards!" I couldn't help but be stunned as I asked, "The project has started?"

Sebastian nodded. "Yes!"

Although I had some doubts in my heart, I no longer asked any questions.

Naomi brought over some food. Since she was in a hurry to leave, she and Sebastian left first.

I just woke up, and had no appetite. Although Naomi's dishes were delicious, I still couldn't eat them.

Hendrix saw that I didn't eat anymore after a few bites. He looked at me and frowned, "Don't waste food!"

I looked at him with my head tilted to the side, "I'm really not hungry, though. I don't want to eat!"

He pursed his lips and said, "What if I feed you?" After being taken aback for a moment, I glared at him and said, "Did the doctor inform you when I can be discharged from the hospital?"

He raised his eyebrows as he replied, "You just woke up, so you'll have to stay in the hospital for a few more days!"

It seemed that he was going to make me stay in the hospital for some more time. When I thought of Lancille Village, I became serious. I looked at him and said, "Hendrix, didn't you mention that you would opt out of the project in Lancille Village?"

He seemed to have said before that he would consider retreating from the project.
