Chapter 47: Back To The Ward

As soon as Arix returned to her hospital room, she saw Drexel half-lying on her bed, playing with the opticomputer she had hidden under her pillow.

"Hey, you're back!" Drexel greeted his sister while playing a game, glancing up as she walked in.

"Yeah," Arix replied, too tired to say much else. She grabbed her toiletries and headed to the bathroom for a quick shower. Afterward, she returned to her bedside table, took out some bandages, and replaced the sling on her left arm.

Once finished, Arix sat down on a chair beside her bed. She looked at Drexel, still lounging on her bed, and said softly, "Don't you think it's a bit much to hog your sister's hospital bed?"

"I trained all day and haven't rested yet. I'll get up soon, I promise," Drexel replied shamelessly, showing no signs of moving.
