Chris still had questions. "Why did you go to the hospital?"
Alexander's throat felt dry. He drank a large glass of water and slowly began to explain the whole story. Initially, he hadn't witnessed the scene at the hospital himself.
One night, he was jolted awake by a nightmare. The Nala in his dream matched the description he had given earlier. He had woken up drenched in cold sweat, shivering, unable to fall back asleep. The same dream continued to haunt him.
In the dream, Nala appeared helpless, as if she wanted to speak but couldn't.
Alexander's curiosity grew stronger, and he couldn't resist going to the hospital to learn more. The outcome was surprising.
"In the end, I really saw her," Alexander said in a hushed tone. "At that moment, she was seated in a wheelchair, with a nurse pushing her. I didn't dare approach her. I followed them until they reached her ward's door. I called her softly, and she turned to look at me. It was exactly like in my dream!"
Chris and Lena were in disbelief after hearing that. Maybe some mysterious force was guiding these two children. Alexander had saved Nala once—would he save her again this time?
Alexander turned to Lena. "Sis, Nala is sick. Why didn't her parents tell us?"
Chris recalled what Toph had mentioned about the search. Given Alexander's description, Nala's condition seemed quite serious. Could it be that the person Elijah was searching for could cure her illness?
"Don't worry for now," Lena reassured Alexander. "Maybe they don't want outsiders to know about her illness. Let your brother-in-law find out the details first, and then we can decide what to do."
"Okay..." Alexander agreed and suddenly realized something. "Wait! Who are you talking about?"
At the same time, Chris stared at Lena with wide eyes.
Lena smiled, maintaining her composure. "Your brother-in-law."
