Meanwhile.
Outside the courtyard.
Javier sat on one of the benches, looking up at the sky as the last hues of sunset faded into twilight. He let out a long exhale, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees, shoulders slumped in exhaustion.
He glanced down at the ground.
The surgery is finished… but I don't know if she'll be able to survive or wake up yet.
Let's hope everything went well.
I've done all I can, and now… I just have to trust in fate.
He glanced up toward the darkening sky. The Mathrias manor was now lit up with mana lamps, and the operation building glowed brightly with advanced mana lights.
His stomach growled.
He glanced around and noticed from a distance that Buddy was resting on the ground near the building, with the huge golden Pekko, Giddie, nearby.
Ah… looks like Buddy is being scolded by his father, huh?
Javier chuckled softly before shaking his head.
I wonder if Buddy has eaten yet?
