Chapter 7

However, there were still many unanswered questions.

I couldn't help but ask Nolan.

"Didn't Zoran refuse to give me a bone marrow transplant? And didn't the doctor say that even with a transplant, my body was too broken down after the blood transfusion for it to work?"

But upon hearing my words, Nolan fell silent.

He then avoided the topic altogether.

Instead, he gently patted my head.

"Zara, you should rest well. I have some things to take care of, but I'll come back to see you later."

With that, he hurriedly left.

But as I watched his retreating figure, I suddenly realized how much thinner he had become.

Thinking back to his pale face earlier, I felt a twinge of unease in my heart.

I got out of bed, but perhaps from lying down for so long, my legs gave out and I fell to the floor.

After struggling to get up, I wanted to go find Nolan.

But I discovered that I seemed to be locked inside the mansion, with even the windows sealed shut.
