... In Delilah's ward ...
The two girls were busying reading when a knock emitted from the door,
" Please come in" Anna said, the door soon creaked open and two figures entered the room.
" Mr. Buddh… Du Lang" the girls shot up from their seats as Anna greeted, she bit her tongue, she almost called him Mr. Buddha.
" Good girls, how are you feeling now?" he asked, flashing an unusual friendly smile.
" F… Fine sir" Anna responded, with Delilah nodding in agreement.
" Thank goodness, your parents will be informed once I return to school, they can either choose you stay, or return home. I know it has been hard on you girls and I apologize on behalf of the perpetrators, I hope you get well soon" Mr. Du Lang said, clasping his hands.
Delilah panicked, "S… Sir, do you say you will inform our parents?" She asked, her voice still hoarse.
Zhang Han and the principal were puzzled, "Yes, miss Chen, is there… any problem?"
" Ah, no, no problem sir, but is it really necessary to inform our parents?" she asked again, her voice laced with nervousness.
She had promised she would take care of herself, if dad found out she was hospitalized instead, he'll have her leave the program immediately and… and she doesn't want that.
" Yes, cadet Chen, it is very necessary" Zhang Han responded this time, his voice leaving no room for objection.
Delilah's face sunk like a deflated balloon, "Oh" she nodded, she better get packing then.
" Do you not want your parent to be informed?" Mr. Du Lang probed, adjusting his glasses.
The girls nodded, "We don't want to leave without accomplishing something" Anna hurriedly answered.
The men finally understood the girls intentions, "Ah, if that is the case, I'll pass it to your parents that you don't want to leave before the end of the program. However, I'm helpless if they insist on letting you leave, do you understand?" Mr. Du Lang said a while later.
The girls nodded reluctantly, "Thank you sir," they bowed.
Mr. Du Lang rubbed his hands, "Ah, no need, no need, you should be resting and recovering now, that's more important" his eyes caught sight of the books on the bed, these girls seem rather serious, he'll keep his eyes on them henceforth.
" I'll be leaving now, be good, girls" Mr. Du Lang bided his farewell and left with Zhang Han.
" Yes sir, we will" Delilah and Anna chorused.
Mr. Du Lang visited Harrison before he left the clinic with Zhang Han, they arrived at the cabin where Yan Ruyi and her friends were.
