I was inside the hover car as Elise worriedly watched over me when I woke up from a few of my memories coming back. I was drenched in my own sweat, shivering from the cold air coming from the ventilation. This was bad. If Luke noticed that I was slightly sick, there was no way he would let me visit my parents.
"Do you have some napkins?" I turned to her.
"Here's a towel," Elise offered to me.
I tried to wipe off all the sweat on my body and got her to cover me while I changed into the same dress I came into their house with. I took some deep breaths to stabilize my overall breathing as my head throbbed from the side effects of using that memorila. I held onto one of the handles, regretting that I showed them what happened rather than explaining it through words. Elise gave me a bottle of water as the hover car started to drift near the mall.
I could already see both Luke and Ben waiting for us on the ground. They were trying to keep this inconspicuous as possible since this was a public place. When they saw Elise from the windows, they walked towards where the hover car was about to land. Elise's cousin opened the door as I carefully stepped onto the ground.
"Here is Rika as we promised," he was interrupted.
Luke immediately stepped to pull me in his arms, blaming them for everything. He ignored Eliza and her cousin and began to walk away, feeling disgusted to be in the same space as them. I guessed he was upholding his promise as Ben glanced at them one last time before following Luke. He frowned when he noticed my wet hands, full of sweat. My eyes were still glassy from recently waking up.
"I didn't leave the mansion because I wanted to," I wanted to make sure that he knew.
"I know, we'll tighten the security on our end. We already reworked the gates," he lightly held my back as we walked into our own hover car together.
"I won't ever leave you alone like I did that day," his voice slightly trembled.
"It's not your fault," I didn't want him to continue those thoughts.
"Rika is right. How could you have predicted that someone would break in your mansion by paying someone for the last three months to perfectly replicate the servant's uniform outside the gate by observing them when they could?" Ben added.
"I'm sure this will never happen again," I hoped he would still give me some private space as before.
"What did they feed you?" Luke noticed me still shivering.
"Your blood pressure is extremely high. It's like you drank three litres of pure sugar. And your blood circulation is not normal like you were fed artificial oils that would clog it," Luke guessed the kind of food I ate during the last few days.
"Nothing much. I don't remember what I ate," I lied.
"When we arrive at the mansion, you'll have to spit everything out," Luke frowned.
What? I didn't want to eat or drink whatever kind of medicine he was thinking inside his head. Everyone else who ate these kinds of food were perfectly healthy. Although I did admit I overdosed on the sugar by pouring it into all the food I ate. But it tasted so good, unlike anything I have had before.
"I'm sure it's not that bad," I pushed him away from figuring out more.
"This is pretty serious Rika," Ben agreed with Luke as he studied my body with a mana spell.
"I'm not going to the infirmary again," I didn't like that room.
The infirmary was almost like my new bedroom these days. Hooked up to all those machines, doors locked, and windows closed. The smell of medicine filling my nose as the pain that came from the side effects made my head throb. However, I couldn't regret the time I had spent there, conquering dungeons and making new friends.
"You'll get better within a day," Ben tried to comfort me.
"Only a day?" I tugged on Luke's sleeve.
"We'll see. If you can't get better then we'll cancel the rest of our plans," he subtly hinted that I would obediently have to take everything to visit my parent's house.
I nodded my head as he continued to study me with Ben. I bit my lip, finding that I couldn't hide how sick I appeared. But at least I was still able to hide some things from him like entering the virtual world.
"What did you do there? Your entire body is exhausted like you haven't slept for days," he continued to accurately guess everything.
"I was given a memorila to use. They told me it wasn't as sophisticated like the ones I was used to and that I would get some side effects from it," I revealed what mostly made me into this mess.
Luke's eyes widened, checking my body more thoroughly like that machine was truly dangerous more than it seemed. Even Ben went along with him, making me think that there was something wrong with me. However, it was more likely my body was exhausted from gaming too long and that made the other conditions worse with the junk food.
As soon as the hover car drifted near the ground, I was immediately escorted into the infirmary where they would conduct more detailed tests. I wondered if the Roselia family were almost on the same level as doctors here as his father had determined my condition while they could not. Luke was also the same in how he managed to keep me alive during all those dangerous times.
