Anna's appearance did not cause much commotion, although many people noticed her arrival.
Anna, wrapped in a thin blanket, was like a dead branch leaning on a wheelchair. Her face was completely lifeless, leaving only haggardness and pain. However, such expressions are too common on today's Shengming. Some good people have already learned the truth from other crew members - this woman with limited mobility in her lower body fell into the ventilation shaft in search of a cat. It's really funny. How could anyone do such a thing for a cat at this juncture... …
The news was passed around in whispers, and this little episodic story circulated in Bishop's Restaurant for less than five minutes before it was washed away by other stories. Only a few people stared at her with some concern - although Anna showed up very rarely, most of them remembered that this woman who was also in a wheelchair often appeared with Hesta and Si Lei before.
Mantel brought Anna coffee, slices of bread and a few cookies.
"I'm so sorry. At this time, the restaurant only has these things to satisfy your hunger," Mantel apologized, "I'll go to the kitchen to have a look in a few minutes -"
"Don't bother, these things are good enough," Anna held the cup and saucer, "It's so warm here, I don't even want to go back..."
"Fortunately, I didn't send you back just now!" Mantel knocked on his forehead. "I forgot, you can't go back now - you have to stay here until the 'security check' is over."
Anna raised her head with interest: "What 'security check'?"
"It's just..." Mantel blinked quickly, "I'm not sure, but you have to stay here for a while, and I definitely don't mean to force you-"
Anna put down the cup and covered her knees again with the thin blanket that was shaken off. "Don't say that, I'm happy to stay here."
"Really?" Mantel's eyes were bright, "I was worried that you would find it noisy here!"
"how come……"
"Anna."
Hesta's voice interrupted the greetings between the two of them. They turned around and saw Rene standing not far away pushing Hesta's wheelchair. Rene's expression was arrogant, and Hesta's eyes were stern... They both looked a bit nervous. Those who are not good.
"you--"
"Ms. Mantel," Anna said with a smile: "I may have something to say to this little friend alone..."
"...Well, okay, I'll be there if you need me."
"Thanks."
Mantel picked up Anna's coffee cup and turned towards another unoccupied table.
Rene pushed Hesta next to Anna without saying a word, and then quickly withdrew.
The two wheelchairs were placed side by side, neither of them looking at each other. Anna and Hesta looked at the hall at the same time, and invariably turned their attention to Chiba's position.
In the distance, Chiba hugged her arms - she was standing at an excellent angle to pay attention to the movements of Bernhard's men, and of course she also noticed the changes here.
Chiba's left eyebrow raised exaggeratedly, and a question was about to come out:
"What are you two doing?"
"I originally thought you wouldn't show up for a long time, but I didn't expect to see you here early in the morning," Hesta said softly, "It seems that last night was really an accident. night."
Anna smiled and said, "Then remember to leave some room for Zero next time, so there will be no surprises."
Hesta glanced at the other party, "That's not what I meant."
"What is that?" Anna blinked blankly, "Is Rico injured too?"
"Don't change the subject."
"Strange, why can't we see Si Lei?" Anna smiled and looked at the crowd. There seemed to be no figure of Si Lei among the people sitting around. "She is not with you? Oh, there, I saw it..."
Anna sighed softly: "Not only are accidents frequent, but they are also tiring, aren't they?"
Hesta was a little suspicious, but remained silent. She originally thought that Anna's sudden appearance was because she and Rico rescued Gustave last night, and even almost captured Zero alive, so even if the Bishop's restaurant at this moment At the same time, Gobelin and Bernhard were sitting, and Anna had to make the trip herself to negotiate some conditions or issue threats...
But now it seems that Anna doesn't seem to have this intention.
Although she pretended to be weak, she didn't seem surprised by what happened last night.
Is it just an act?
Or is there some other reason...
"Good boy, what exactly do you want to ask?" Anna finally turned around and looked into Hesta's eyes, "You will never get the answer if you go around like this."
"...What on earth are you here to do today."
"When the prologue begins, no one in the audience will want to be anywhere else."
"Are you here to see the show?"
Ana propped up her elbows and leaned slightly toward Hesta, "How can you see it clearly without being there in person?"
Hesta took a deep breath habitually, and severe pain immediately spread in her chest. She turned blue in pain, but she still forced herself not to make any sound.
"Excuse me," Mantel approached again. She came to Anna's side and whispered, "I have prepared your breakfast. If you want to use it anytime, just call me at any time-"
"I'm so hungry right now, honey."
Mantel glanced in the direction of Hesta, "Then what do you want..."
Anna smiled slightly at Hesta, "If there's nothing else, I'd like to excuse you."
Hesta did not answer. She heard the sound of Anna's wheelchair disappearing behind her, and her mood was complicated for a moment. Hesta carefully recalled everything that happened from last night to now - what exactly went wrong, and she couldn't understand what Anna wanted to do at all again...
"Jane!" Not far away, Rico had returned to the restaurant with a small medicine bottle, "Why are you here!"
"...Ana is here."
"I know, I saw her when she came in."
"She's...a little weird."
"Isn't this person always weird?" Rico pulled up a chair and sat next to Hesta, "Have you been chatting?"
"We chatted for a while...but nothing nutritious."
Hesta reached out and took the pills handed over by Rico, and quickly swallowed them with water. She looked at the people in front of her in silence, and suddenly noticed a hint of disobedience: "...Why isn't Bree here?"
"His condition seems to be a bit complicated. When he ran out, he accidentally touched the hypoxic fire-extinguishing device in the database and suffocated for a while. He is still in the infirmary. It seems that he will not recover for a while."
"...Is this person not dead?"
"No," Rico replied, "I heard the nurses discussing his condition when I first went up."
Hesta looked again at the location where Chiba was just now - Miss Chiba was no longer there at the moment.
