Mei Ling looked up to Marcus in confusion, in fact, all of them seemed just as baffled.
"Marcus, Isn't this the same hospital? Or have they changed your mom's attendant?"
"Nurse Lou, I'm Mrs Zhao's son, Don't you remember?"
Marcus moved back to give more space to the nurse he had almost bumped into. Nurse Lou closed the door and walked forward, the nurse in her late twenties moved so close to Marcus that he started feeling uncomfortable with the little space between them.
"Marc?, Is that really you?"
'Huh, Why did I suddenly feel like an impostor?'
Her words left Marcus speechless. A strange thought flashed through his mind.
'Wait a minute... Is this what I think it is?'
Then it dawned on Marcus, come to think of it, he had grown taller, and even his body was like that of a seasoned athlete.
If someone were to look at Marcus and gauge his appearance, although his look was just a little bit above average, his build was nothing short of athletic.
'Wait, is it because of my stat, agility? Come to think of it, I have been referencing my physique changes to the Agility stat recently'
Well it wasn't that he was wrong when it was said that one looked 'Agile'
The onlooker took everything into consideration including mostly the person's way of walking, posture, and stature, mostly lean athletic frame.
Marcus started to wonder if his way of walking, stature, and posture signified agility with mere looks.
"You kinda look, charming"
Although her face was turning red slightly, Nurse Lou brushed the word off with laughter.
"But where have you been? We have tried your number but it was unreachable and since your place has become a graded area, we figured you have moved somewhere else"
Nurse Lou stopped for a moment and scrutinized the people who accompanied Marcus.
"If not for Elena Wong, your bills would have piled up to Heaven, this is a well-established hospital in all of Yangdao, and it is even weird that Wong didn't have your number, even though both of you are acquainted enough for her to clear all you mum's bills"
Marcus was dumbfounded, he never expected this, that girl went ahead to surprise him again, and even if he had it in mind to repay her, she possibly couldn't have known that he would.
'Who in their right mind would do that, well there is something that I needed to find out recently, I need to know what her deal is, last year, even though she was disabled, she kept visiting my mom, so I can't rule out the possibility that they are acquainted in some place'
"Speaking of the devil, she is here"
Nurse Lou turned her gaze while the others also turned to look at the person. It was indeed a gorgeous young lady with toned skin and well-refined features enough to make Chen Hao's nose bleed.
"Marcus, is this for real? I never thought I would see her here"
Chen Hao yelled, forgetting for a moment that they were on hospital premises.
"Yes, without doubt, that is her"
Seeing how Mei Ling's gaze was fixed on the figure approaching, Marcus couldn't help but feel lost.
"I didn't know he knew Merprincess, he looked like an ordinary guy at a normal glance"
"Hey, what are you talking about? Who did I know?"
"Marcus, you don't know her? How the hell did she know you and your family in the first place?"
What Marcus said was like a shock to Mei Ling, making her turn and fix an intense and questioning gaze on Marcus.
"Elena Wong, the Merprincess of the Dragonslayers, is renowned for her ability that deal an AOE and stun effect, HypnoWave, it dulls opponents, preventing them from bringing out their ability's true potential.
But is dull the right word?
Merprincess is the vice-captain of Dragonslayer Ops, the elite squad with the most number of A rank Awakened, although she is an A rank, she is still a high tier one that is indispensable in any strike squad formed if a raid was to be successful"
Just a moment, Marcus noticed something unusual formed in Chen Hao's eyes.
"If news got to the reporters, they would flood this hospital, we must keep this a secret"
"Huh? Mei Ling, when did that become a secret, I understand now that she is the vice-captain of an elite squad, but can't a popular person go anywhere they want?"
Marcus turned to Mei Ling.
"For real!!"
Chen Hao yelled when he saw Elena Wong close enough. He then turned again to Marcus and he noticed the unusual thing that formed in Chen Hao's eyes.
'Wait a minute, why is he teary-eyed!!'
"I'm super glad that we gave you a ride, brother since you are someone with a great connection, I guess my lifelong dream will come true today, can we beseech you to help us connect to the Vice-captain of Dragonslayer Ops, with her position, we will be able to secure even the lowest position in Dragonslayer Ops, what did you say brother?"
Both of them were dancing around Marcus like some children awaiting sweet from an elder.
'Wei Long is here already??!! And when the hell did I become your brother!!"
"Wong, we were just talking about you, how have you been?"
Nurse Lou greeted her gladly, and it seemed she could only reply with a nod.
'She is weird, I have never seen her talk, at least not in my presence'
Then Marcus felt the need to talk to her about what had been troubling him, and with that, he took hold of her hand and led her away to the cafeteria.
Marcus offered to buy her drink but she refused, so with all these, he came to a conclusion.
"You are acquainted with my mom somewhere but can you explain where?, and talking of being acquainted, none of her co-workers have ever visited since the day she was rushed here so I am somehow curious"
There was a moment of silence after these words, and then Marcus noticed something about Wong.
