However, I was uncertain how he'd react if he discovered I was the one from that incident.
Lost in thought, I wandered alongside him, not realizing he was escorting me out of the medical center. When I finally looked around, I was startled.

Before departing, he gazed at my face, as if recalling distant memories.
"You're about the same age as my sister. I wonder how she's doing now. Does she resent me for not finding her all this time?"
I'd heard the tale of the missing Chandler Family heir from coworkers on several occasions.

I could only offer reassurance. "Don't fret. If she knew how long you've been looking for her, she'd forgive you. Many people would love to have a family as caring as yours."
