"Father! Mother! Why does Rachel always get medicine all the time? Is it because she's still sick?"

The atmosphere at home looks calm and peaceful. The house looks simple but so luxurious. Moreover, the front page is full of blue lilies.

Regardless. Currently, his parents are busy giving treatment to Rachel. The drug given is not in the form of capsules or syrup. They give the medicine through an infusion. It's been 4 years her parents did that to her. But they couldn't tell Hans the reason why they did that.

Each time Rachel was given an infusion. The mother was beside her. Meanwhile, the father kept an eye on her health condition and also saw changes in Rachel's own body.

Meanwhile, Hans.. he was always beside Rachel while holding back his sadness.

"Hans. Rachel is currently not sick. But there are times when she has to get special medicine. Her body may still be small. But she has the resistance to resist certain drugs. That is something that others want to seize. No matter the risk or whatever. Father and mother worked hard so that Rachel could live a normal life like you. And so do the other children."

Hans who was then still 15 years old. Meanwhile, Rachel is 9 years old.

These two siblings always get along and are so normal. They help each other and are always cheerful. However, when Rachel was small, her parents brought her to a special room. This always made Hans feel uneasy, anxious, even... afraid.

Hans saw his little sister lying unconscious after receiving an infusion with a mixture of drugs that had been paired. He continued to hold Rachel's hand while holding back her sadness. Until..

"Are they going to take Rachel? Are they going to take my little sister?"

They were silent for a moment hearing Hans who said that in a sad tone.

Suddenly they hugged Hans. They didn't forget to hold Rachel's hand.

"Hans. They're not going to take Rachel. Never. No matter what happens, we're all going to protect her. We're family."

(That's right! That time, we promised to protect Rachel. I don't know why they kept giving her medicine. Every time I see Rachel lying down, I feel bad about it. Always make me so sad. Unfortunately, that was before we were attacked and our parents were killed. I wish I knew why my parents did that.)

At a BSAA health center..

It's been 2 days since the incident on the cruise ship.

Hans looked through the window pane. Holding back his sadness, he saw that Rachel was still unconscious. Moreover, they still have to receive treatment from the medical team.

Despite some BSAA members trying to tell him not to worry. But that wasn't enough for him.

Every time, he always took time just to wait for Rachel to wake up. He was so worried, he even missed eating together and practicing together.

"Rachel!"

When he remembered how Rachel was controlled by Douglas, for some reason that feeling couldn't be lost in his mind or soul.

Moreover, when he got information about Rachel's current condition. Anger and fear...

He had so much to think about.

The night is come. And most people in there is gone and have to sleep.

Even though it was getting quiet around him, he was still waiting.

Until..

"Hey kid! You will make your little sister sad if you continue like this."

He just realized that it turns out that Chris came carrying 2 cans of juice. Even so, Chris' condition can be said to be recovered because he can move freely.

"Captain! Are you all right?"

Even though Hans wanted to say hello to Chris, unfortunately he seemed to have no energy to stand up.

However, he continued to sit, waiting, until only eating peanut snacks, even lack of sleep would definitely make his body so weak.

When Hans almost fell, Chris suddenly caught him. He even tried to calm Hans down because Chris could feel Hans' body getting cold and pale.

"Calm yourself, dominic! You better get some rest first. If you want to see Rachel, you better trust them for medical help."

Like it or not, Hans obeyed what Chris said and he then closed his eyes.
