Collapse, I became their salvation?

"Personal privacy."

Sakura said after thinking for a moment, and as she thought about it, she was ready to keep her mouth shut.

Soon, she found out that she was wrong, extremely wrong.

She thought Aponya was going to use a long speech to convince herself, but in fact, she only said one sentence.

"Ms. Sakura, please tell me, do you have someone you like?"

"Have."

Sakura said it almost subconsciously.

In an instant, her pupils shrank almost to a dot.

She thought that it was outrageous enough that there was a monster like that masked man in this sanatorium.

Is there something even more outrageous?

Are these monsters gathering together?

Sakura was certain that she had not intended to speak, let alone a question like this, a question she would never utter even if someone she was closest to asked her.

But when asked by Aponya, he answered it directly?

"..."

"Your abilities are amazing."

"Thank you, although I don't think so."

Aponia lowered her eyelids again. She was unwilling to demonstrate this ability unless it was necessary.

"Now, can I join your organization?"

"I think there should be no problem, but... excuse me for having a question."

"Please say."

Sakura looked up and met Aponya's eyes, "Why did you join us?"

"I want the children to spend their last moments without worries."

"I want him to... fulfill this ideal for me."

"He is very gentle and kind. Compared to me, the children feel more comfortable around him."

There is one last point that Aponya did not mention.

In fact, Tubai can do this, but Aponia can see that Tubai does not want to join this organization.

So, she was willing to replace Tubai.

She knew that Tu Bai might be very strong, really very strong.

But...

He would be overwhelmed when faced with an organization.

Maybe he could succeed, but if he made a mistake, Aponya couldn't imagine how guilty Tubai would feel given his personality.

Now that there is a simple and effective method, how could she not try it?

"Is this reason okay, Miss Sakura?"

"I can see that you already have someone you like."

Hearing this, the girl's cheeks turned slightly red, but she soon looked at Sakura again.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Sakura, but I need to do something extra just to be on the safe side."

?

Sakura slowly typed a question mark, her eyes widening.

"Wait, you want to..."

......

Night falls.

After the girl coaxed the children to sleep, she stood alone in front of the window, feeling the already chilly night breeze.

"It's cold, be careful not to catch a cold."

Tu Bai took out a coat and covered the girl with it.

Aponia turned around and looked at the familiar mask with a gentle smile in her eyes.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Tu Bai also stood beside him. "Why are you still not asleep so late? What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about the sanatorium."

"If you really worry about this matter and can't sleep, then when you really have to face it, you won't have the energy to face it."

Aponiya tilted her head slightly and leaned on Tubai's shoulder.

This action is not actually comfortable, but she is somewhat addicted to it.

Because this action can bring me closer to him.

"I see......"

"But you still can't sleep, right?"

Tu Bai smiled.

"It's okay, I'll chat with you. Remember to tell me when you feel sleepy."

"..."

Listening to Tubai's tone, Aponiya had the urge to hug Tubai.

His character is really too gentle.

"it is good."

She agreed.

"What shall we talk about?"

"Is Lu'er okay?"

"Not very optimistic."

There are more than a dozen children in the nursing home today, and the situation is not very optimistic.

According to the medical system, even with drug suppression, they don't have much time left.

The shortest is one month and the longest is one year.

These children are from the same group and they have a very good relationship, but now they also have to learn to say goodbye.

No, to be precise, it is a farewell forever.

"Lu'er's illness is the most serious. I can already imagine how Anxia will cry after Lu'er leaves."

Hearing this, Aponya's face also showed a trace of worry.

"When the time comes, remember to comfort Anxia more."

The girl said softly.

"Yes, I will."

Although Anxia doesn't have much time left, she is already the healthiest among these children.

This also means that she has to face the departure of everyone else.

The girl's small hand tentatively reached out to Tu Bai's hand little by little, and the moment it touched Tu Bai's hand, her hand was held by Tu Bai.

"And... you."

Aponya half-closed her eyelids.

"Remember to take good care of yourself. I know you love children, but your own health is also important. There are more important things waiting for you in the future."

“So don’t wear yourself down.”

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

How could he be at ease? What worried Abonya the most was Tu Bai.

She even thought about trying to persuade Tu Bai, but she was worried that after she used this ability, Tu Bai would stay away from her.

So when Tu Bai was present, she never used this ability.

She doesn't care how others misunderstand her, except for Tu Bai. She doesn't want to watch Tu Bai gradually drift away from her.

Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked directly at Tu Bai's eyes.

"You should rest more."

"You're so worried about me?"

"Well, if possible, I want to watch you sleep every day."

As soon as he finished speaking, Aponya's ears turned red.

"I mean, I take care of..."

"No, don't explain. If you explain again, I will misunderstand you."

Tu Bai shook his head with a wry smile.

"I always feel that you said these words when we were parting."

After Tu Bai finished speaking, he was slightly stunned.

Recalling the girl's previous words again, this feeling became stronger.

"You...want to leave?"

Tubai didn't believe that Aponya wanted to leave the children like this.

After spending so much time together, he wouldn't have made a mistake in recognizing someone.

"I don't want to leave."

Aponiya lowered her head, not wanting Tubai to see her eyes clearly.

"So what are you going to do?"

"I want to help you."

"..."

Tu Bai was silent.

At this point, how could he not understand?

It is obvious that Aponia wants to join the Fire Moth and then negotiate directly with the Fire Moth people.

At least the sanatorium will preserve the last quiet time.

"What about the children?"

"With you here, I feel relieved."

The girl held Tubai's hands with both of hers and placed them in front of her chest. Tubai could even feel the softness under her clothes.

"I want to be able to help you, whether now or in the future. I want to have the power to help you."

"I don't need any of this, Aponya."

Tu Bai looked at the girl's determined expression and also became serious.

"But I need it."

The girl's eyes were determined, and she looked unusually strong.

But soon, her tone softened again.
