Chapter 26

Sophia praised Edison gently. Hearing that someone cared about her brought a small smile to her face. Edison, feeling triumphant, raised an eyebrow at me and flashed a bright smile before holding her hand and leading her toward the elevator. "Sophie, you really don't look well. Let me take you home to rest." "Alright." She let him lead her out of the hospital. Watching their backs as they left, I felt discomfort in my chest, but it wasn't as intense as before. Perhaps I had finally understood that my feelings wouldn't change anything. As Edison and Sophia entered the elevator, he glanced back thoughtfully toward my ward. "Sophie, honestly, I don't think you need to worry so much about Joshua's health. He seems to be recovering quite well—almost like a normal person. Maybe love really can heal everything." His words carried a subtle implication, but she didn't seem to catch it. What she thought of instead was how, before I fell unconscious, I also appeared to be in good health.
