"Ed, you better take your siblings to the hotel. Later, Mom and I will catch up with you. Uncle Hence's car is in front," said Dru.
Ed cannot refute Dru's words, but only a nod of his head that Ed can give to Dru.
After the short chat, Ed immediately walked towards Nate and Nara, who were sitting on the sofa in Craige's inpatient room which had been facilitated with complete equipment in the room.
"Let's go home first. Later Mom and Dru will follow."
Nara quickly shook her head. She still wants to be close to her father.
"Nate, get it," whispered Ed in a low voice beside Nara's ear.
Nara didn't answer, and she just kept quiet, didn't want to reply to whatever Ed said.
Nate, who saw Nara's attitude, finally could only hold Nara's hand, trying to help Nara to control her emotions.
The girl who felt that she understood Nate's attitude finally fell silent.
For a moment, Nara seemed to be wondering what to do. It felt like she wanted to scream and say that she wasn't Nate, only she would look ridiculous right in front of her family?
Of course, it will worsen Nate's image in front of her family, and maybe it will harm her too without her knowing it.
"Okay."
Only that one word left Nara's lips, while Nate, who was next to Nara, could only sigh softly.
Honestly, he was a little worried that Nara would do something risky and complicate things. It's not that he doesn't believe in Nara. It's just that he is aware that his younger sister's condition is unstable like himself for that he himself can tolerate even though Nara will take the action he was worried about before.
'Thank you, Nara.'
After that, Ed, Nara, and Nate returned to the hotel according to what Dru had said before.
'I almost caused a new problem.'

While waiting for news from Jack about Nara or Nara reading messages or contacting him, Louis is now busy looking for the history of the city he previously visited, or more precisely, the city where he will build his project there.
If in the past he felt it was not important to find out about the history of the city, all he was looking for was about the strategic location with the resources or the possibility of the attraction of visitors coming there, then not now.
There are many things that he wants to learn further. He began to feel strange things, and it made his curiosity more and more peaked.
"Obelix City," Louis whispered, his fingers always on his laptop keyboard.
Some information began to appear on the home page of his laptop.
Louis's eyes seemed to pay attention one by one the titles that came out of there.
At first glance, there is nothing strange about the title that appears to introduce Obelix City. It's just that the more he scrolls it down. A text appears that, at a glance, he thinks has nothing to do with the city.
Louis frowned in confusion. The longer he felt curious about the context, which he thought had no correlation with the City.
Click
A beautiful sight is clearly visible in the picture Louis just clicked.
For a moment, the upload that Louis just opened did not contain any oddities. Even the page seemed only to show the beauty of the city, until ...
"Wait ... why does the color of the tree look different between this and this picture," Louis whispered when he found the tree color, which he realized was the same tree as the tree he had previously met.
"Is it because of the season? But ... this month and this are the same, it should be the same color, right? ... wait ... 5 years difference, is it possible—"
Before Louis had time to continue his sentence based on the presumption he was thinking, Louis was getting late with his search.
His eyes seemed focused, while his fingers were increasingly looking for information that had not been revealed previously.
"Interesting, I'd better have to find out more."
(Notification Tones)
A short message entered Louis's cellphone.
"Jack?"
The reflex of Louis's fingers opened the message that had just entered his cellphone.
[An accident has occurred at St. Georgia Hill resulted in two victims, of which one of the victims was Craige Hudgens, most recently in a coma]
"Wait ... Craige Hudgens? Who? "
Louis's eyes narrowed. For a while, he did not understand the meaning of the information from the message Jack gave him until the next message, which made Louis speechless, with perfectly rounded eyes.
"What? Father? An accident ... so that means— "
Louis quickly dialed Nara's number.
Honestly, on the one hand, he felt that he had a bright spot regarding Nara's existence, but on the other hand, he was increasingly worried about the girl.
Many bad thoughts suddenly flashed through his head.
"Please, Nara, pick up my phone. I'm worried about you. Are you okay?"
It took Louis several times to wait for the ring tone that never reached Nara.
Until ...
The fifth ring of the telephone
"Hello, Nar, are you okay?"
"He ..- hello," said the girl across the phone in a voice that sounded hoarse.
"Hey, where are you? I'll be there, "said Louis without preamble to the core of the conversation.
"I'm OK. Now I can't tell where I am. It's just that for the next few times, it seems I can't see you. I'm sorry I have to postpone the meeting."
Louis quickly said that it was not a big problem. For now, the most important thing for him was to know that Nara was in good condition.
"Thank you."
"No problem, you do need time, and also calm yourself well. If you need me to let me know, I'm always there for you."
After that, the conversation ended, and Louis couldn't help but end his conversation with Nara.
There is a feeling of a bit of disappointment that Louis feels right now. It's just that he realized that he himself could not be selfish with what was happening to Nara.
On another place...
Germany
"This is your cellphone, I've told him what you instructed before, and he is very worried about you, Nar."
A low hum could be heard from the sides of Nara's lips. The girl was much calmer and more logical.
While Nara's hand took her handphone from Nate, the girl tried to sit herself on the bed where Ed asked her to rest there.
"Get some rest, your body is weak right now, and you better not think about anything because it was all you could think about before. now each has been resolved. "
"Hum, I understand, Nate, thank you."
"Welcome."
'I hope you really listen to me, Nara.'
