Aveline smiled slightly and asked, "Mr. Cooper, you're not from Cloudflare City, are you?"

Gernard looked at her in surprise. "How did you know?"

"You don't quite have the local accent," Aveline replied.

Gernard nodded. "You're right. I'm from Larbor City, here on business."

He studied her face for a moment, then suddenly added, "Just so you know, I'm not trying to flirt, but Miss Young, every time I see you, I feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity." Aveline chuckled softly. "Do I remind you of a long-lost sister?"

Gernard paused, genuinely considering the possibility.

Aveline continued, "Mr. Gernard, if you have other matters to attend to, please don't let me keep you. Now that I'm awake, I'll be fine."

Gernard couldn't come up with an answer because his long-lost sister had already been found.

"Alright, if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me." Gernard nodded, leaving his card before standing up to leave.

The room returned to its quiet state.

Aveline closed her eyes, but the pain in her body was too overwhelming to let her relax.
