Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 490

"Looks like your brain isn't broken." Vivienne leaned over and pressed the call button. "You've been unconscious for a whole day. Everyone was worried sick."

Bianca tilted her chin up slightly. "I finally get to play the pampered favorite."

Vivienne rolled her eyes at her.

The playful glint in Bianca's eyes faded, replaced by sudden, intense seriousness. "Vivi, I'm sorry."

Vivienne froze. The emotions she had been holding back suddenly crumbled, and her eyes grew red.

Sitting alone in the hospital stairwell, she had been obsessing over one question.

Why did Aurelia's countdown drop to just 7 hours? Where did those missing four hours go?

She thought about it endlessly until the realization finally hit her.

The missing time must have happened when Aurelia came to Vellmont Lodge to say goodbye.

To stop her from holding Aurelia back, the Gate of Narrative had locked her consciousness in place. When she woke up, the scene was completely unchanged, so she naturally assumed only a split second had passed, but in reality, four whole hours had vanished.

Anyone else would have never noticed the anomaly. But Bianca was different; she had already stepped outside the narrative's control. For her, those four hours must have been excruciatingly long and agonizing.

Vivienne could even picture the exact scene in her mind:

She stood by the door, completely frozen and unresponsive. Bianca held her hand, desperately calling her name over and over again. When that failed, Bianca ran downstairs to get Marissa, but Marissa couldn't understand what she was saying, her mind completely focused on the soup in the kitchen.

Bianca ran out of the lodge, frantic for help, but terrified that exposing her secret would put Vivienne in danger. After agonizing over it, she rushed back into Whitestone Lodge, held Vivienne's hand, and cried her name—over and over again, for four straight hours.

And when Vivienne finally snapped out of it, Bianca hadn't dared to ask a single question, terrified that touching on forbidden secrets would somehow get Vivienne killed.
