The next day after Elara received the call from Zia, she packed a few clothes and took a leave from voice. With the help of Zia's mother, she quickly found the hospital. It was in Lorien, and it was truly not far from her training school, yet she had never noticed it before.
The hospital was very big, not much different from the ones in Starfall. It was clearly a private hospital. As she stood outside the hospital, she couldn't help but wonder how her grandpa could afford a place like this.
When she finally went inside and saw him lying on the bed, she was surprised.
He didn't look like someone who was seriously sick. In fact, he even looked better than before, as if he had gained a little weight.
That only made her feel more confused.
She thought about how he hadn't told her anything and had even told Zia not to call her.
Zia's mother didn't stay long. After bringing Elara there, she came back later to take Zia away, leaving Elara alone in the room with her grandpa.
