isn’t too far, actually,” Lisanne said. “It’s technically only a wall apart, but we’ll have to walk down a long corridor.”As she said that, she took the initiative to walk ahead to lead the way.“Goodbye for now. I’ll see you guys later.” Winnie waved her hand at Lisanne and Josiah before she unhurriedly navigated her phone with her spoken commands. Something as simple as connecting Bluetooth earphones only took her one second to complete in the past, but now, she had to use several minutes to do it. Then again, that did not matter to her, as she was patient enough.What Lisanne told them was indeed true. The corridor they had to go through was so long that they took several minutes to walk from one end to the other.As they reached the other end of the long corridor, Josiah halted in his tracks.Seeing that, Lisanne did the same before asking, “What’s wrong, Dr. Houghton?”Josiah turned to look at her. “About the photo on my phone… Can you not tell Winnie about it?”A frown marred Lisanne’s forehead.

Its tune was peaceful and soothing, almost resembling the floating clouds in the vast blue sky, and analogous to moments of serenity that slowly trickled by.As Josiah listened to the melody, he felt an outburst of energy spread throughout his body.He found himself relating to the emotions Winnie was feeling at that point. The calmness and tranquility made him realize that she was a tough lady. Yet, it was that exact reason he felt so bad for her.Along their way back after they collected the medicine, the
