The Runaway Groom

Once all the arrangements were made, they left three days later. Lulu's face was swelling a little as they boarded the flight to Franconia, as she had yet to fully recover.

Still, seeing Irene staying with her and caring for her meticulously, Lulu teased, "Are you taking me for a child now? Doesn't it tire you, staring at me constantly?"

Irene shook her head. "What do you mean tired? I'm not doing anything.”

Lulu held her hand. "You did nothing after running around and doing everything to help? Your husband's going to be sad seeing you work so hard... or more precisely, letting me work you so hard.”

Irene was speechless for a moment, but smiled. "You've really recovered well—you can even tease me now.”

Lulu sighed. "There are times I felt like my experiences were just a dream, but seeing my face reminds me that it's all real."

“It's in the past,” Irene told her. "Things will get better from now on." "Right. Have you found a training center for me yet?" Lulu asked." Irene nodded, assuring her, "Yes, don't worry,"

Lulu nodded. "I'm not worried. Not with you around.”
