The couple ran into the hospital with Neil holding the little girl in his arms. As soon as they stumbled into a nurse, Edith explained about Hazel's high temperature. Another doctor came and his expression changed the moment he noticed Hazel's temperature. Soon, the little girl was brought into the emergency room and both Edith and Neil were asked to wait outside.

Edith sat on the chair and buried her face in her hands. Then she looked up again and turned to look at the emergency room. However, all she could see was the doctors and nurses walking in and out of the room as they busied themselves.

When she thought of Hazel's high temperature as she found the little girl again, Edith grew very scared.

She had tucked the little girl into bed and left once she was sure that Hazel was alright. However, Edith was not expecting that once she came back to check on the little girl, Edith would found her with her body heating up in a fever.

Edith was aware of what will happen with a high fever, and suddenly, she grew terrified. 

Hazel was just fine in the morning. She did not show any sign that she was uncomfortable or unwell. How did she suddenly had a fever?

"Hazel will be alright," Neil spoke as he tried to help Edith to calm down. His arms wrapped around her shoulder as Edith laid her head on him as they both seek comfort in each other.

Edith took a deep breath to compose herself.

At this time, Neil should be more worried. Hazel was his only niece and the remaining family of his younger brother. 

Her fingers entwined with his and Edith gave his hand a little squeeze as if channeling her strength. 

After waiting for a while, the doctor from earlier came out. Both Edith and Neil stood up at the same time to meet the doctor.

Fortunately, Hazel's condition was controlled, but she will need to stay in the hospital for observation. Once Hazel was taken to the ward, Edith and Neil both heaved a sigh in relief.

…

In her dream, Hazel seemed to remember bits of the memories that her mind had suppressed. 

Hazel's parents, Adam and Claire was a couple that spent most of their time together. Whenever her mother was not busy, she would often come over to her father's office to pick him up at the company and Hazel would tag along everywhere they go.

Seeing them acting intimately with each other was not something strange for Hazel.

A few weeks before her parents were involved in that accident, her mother was coming over to pick up her father as usual. On that day, her parents decided to have dinner at a restaurant.

After they ate, her father went over to the counter to pay for their meals, while her mother went the other way to the restroom. At that time, Hazel decided to go with her father.

It was at the counter that Hazel had seen Attorney General Leng for the first time. 

Hazel did not know what was going on between the two grownups, but she could sense that her father's mood was not very good. Her father had pushed her to hide behind him as he exchanged a few words that Hazel could not hear.

Curiously, Hazel had peeked from behind her father and accidentally saw the man's face. 

Coincidentally, Attorney General Leng had turned to her and they both exchanged a glance for a brief second before Hazel went back to hide behind her father. She did not know what happened, but the moment her gaze met with the man, Hazel could feel her body tensed, and her hair stood.

She was scared of the man's eyes but she could not understand why.

In this dream, Hazel seemed to see herself wearing the same gray bunny-shaped sling bag that she had worn to the full moon banquet. 

Her dreams shifted and this time, the beautiful memories between her and her parents appeared. Her heart ached as Hazel continued to watch these memories. She could not describe how much she was missing her parents.

Hazel was Adam and Claire's pampered daughter. 

Her parents would give her the best and would try to be there with her whenever they can. Even though there were days that Hazel became frustrated with her parents, she loved them very much.

If only she knew that her parents would leave her sooner, perhaps she would try to be more obedient.

The dreams shifted again and this time, Hazel saw herself at the hospital.

Her grandparents had explained that her parents were involved in an accident and they had brought her over to look at them. At that time, Hazel could see the anxious look on her grandparents' face, but once they turned to her, the elderly would try to control their expression and feeling well.

The moment Hazel saw her parents on the hospital bed, she did not know how to feel. Her heart numbed and her brain could not tell her what she should do. 

Her parents were wrapped in bandages and there were wires connected to their bodies.

At that time, her grandmother had told her that she can continue to stay by her parents' side and speak to them so that they would wake up soon. 

Hazel stood at her father's side and continued to talk to him as she held her tears. Then, she moved over and did the same to her mother. 

Looking at both of them on the bed, Hazel was suddenly at loss. Usually, her parents would pull her into their embrace and rained their kisses on her face whenever they saw her. But this time, her parents remained unmoved.

Hazel did not know when did she fall asleep on the sofa. 

Her grandmother went out to discuss a few things with the doctor about her parents' condition and leave her to sleep. Her body was covered with a thick blanket, revealing only a part of her face.

It was at this time that the door was slid open and a figure walked in. 

This was the second time that Hazel had seen Attorney General Leng. Hazel seemed to recall Attorney General Leng's frightening gaze and chose to hide in her blanket without making a sound.

The older man stood at the bedside and spoke something in a low voice before he left. 

Hazel could hear Attorney General Leng's voice outside the door. Then, seconds later, a man in a white lab coat entered the room. Hazel pretended to be sleeping and peeked from her blanket as she watched the doctor walked over to her father's bed. He took out a syringe from his pocket and injected something into the IV bag. Then, the doctor walked over to her mother's side and did the same.

Her grandmother returned to the room a few seconds after the doctor had left.. They went back home to rest and the next day, Hazel found out that her parents were both gone.
