Actions always catch others' attention immediately, while thoughts are merely inconsequential matters.
Everyone knows that once people decide to act, it means the ideas they have been contemplating in their hearts have reached a definite conclusion.
Therefore, people must confront their problems with a more solemn demeanor, especially those messy and unfortunate troubles.
There should be no room for any other inappropriate thoughts or worries about the problem.
Hesitating now was not the preparation Andrew should have made for this situation.
Since the situation had already become an irreparable reality, pondering what to do next was utterly meaningless.
So the Alchemist, despite the deep dissatisfaction in his own heart, could only stop his actions as well.
And then take the time to turn around and face Andrew standing before him.
