That night, Aaric said goodbye to Mila in a strange and very quick way, as if he was being rushed by something, also became the last time Mila saw him.

The first and second day Mila didn't see him, she still didn't feel disturbed. The third and fourth days, Mila started to wake up almost every night, hoping Aaric would come, sneak in to see her again, but after the fifth and sixth day the strange man didn't come, Mila started to feel restless. ​​

Did something happen to Aaric? Or was he punished and transferred to another section? So they couldn't meet again?

Mila began to blame herself for following Aaric's advice by accusing him of harassment. Maybe, if Mila told the truth, Aaric wouldn't have been punished too severely…

But, maybe Aaric knew better about the situation here, so he chose that way to get out of the problem Mila has caused.

Once again, Mila banged her head against the soft wall in this padding room and at this point, she began to feel that she deserved to be placed in this special place.

Indeed, she needed protection, because Mila observed that she had a tendency to injure herself.

However, still… whatever Mila did wouldn't make her feel any much better. She needed to see Aaric.

Where is that man now?

==============

A very boring week passed for Mila, which was only filled with a series of check ups. Sometimes, she would wake up with a heavy head in the padding room, but other days she would wake up in an examination room with an instrument attached to her head.

The same went on every day...

Until the seventh day since the last time Aaric met Mila, the researchers and some of the people in this place, who practically never spoke to Mila, decided that she was good enough to take a walk around her ward, giving the girl a little leniency and freedom.

A doctor, or female researcher, Mila did not know how to call her, always accompanied Mila on her walk in the said ward area.

Telling Mila about the places where she could visit and explained to what extent she could explore this place.

However, in exchange for that apparent freedom, they put something on Mila's ankle, a white light metal band was tied there.

"Are you sure this thing is to be placed on my ankle? Isn't it for my neck?" Mila asked sharply to a man who was squatting in front of her while putting the metal bracelet on.

"Don't mess around," the man growled as Mila shook her feet.

"Or what?" Mila asked in a defiant tone, still moving her legs in a relaxed manner. It's not like she could refuse either, it's certain that Mila wouldn't be able to reject the bracelet, but because she just wanted to make this burly man get into a little trouble.

"Or you won't get this little freedom and will rot in your prison room until the last day of your life," he replied in a flat tone, but from the way the man looked at her, Mila could conclude two things;

She didn't like this man, she even felt a strong desire to kick him, since his face was within the proximity of her kick range.

And secondly, this man was telling the truth, if Mila threw a tantrum now, then her precious little freedom would disappear too.

So, this time Mila said nothing. She didn't want her chance, to find out more information to unravel the veil of mystery surrounding her identity, to get wasted just because of this annoying man.

Therefore, Mila remained silent, not returning Jordan's words. She knew this man's name by the initials that were sewn onto his shirt.

"Are you done?" Asked the female doctor named Ellen, she was the same woman, who had told Mila which paths she could pass or which places were accessible or forbidden to enter.

Looks like Ellen was the one in charge of Mila.

Even though their meetings were not intense and the time they spent together was brief, Mila felt that she didn't have a problem with Ellen, because unlike most of them who always sedated her, Ellen didn't do that.

Ellen could be said to only observe Mila's behavior and talk to her in moderation, which Mila really appreciated.

"Yes, everything is over now," replied Jordan. He then stood up and looked at Mila triumphantly, as if winning an argument with Mila had him earned a trophy. "If you approach the restricted area, the light on the bracelet on your feet will turn green and if you keep going, it will turn red and when you are beyond a ten meter radius, then the alarm will go off, understood?" Jordan asked Mila.

The lights the man was referring to were the small LEDs on Mila's metal band.

"If it's finished, I'll take you to see Drake," Ellen said. "He's the one who will replace Lorensa for a while until she returns from her long vacation."

Ellen waved her hand toward Mila so that the girl would follow her and Mila jumped from the high bed that she had been sitting on to follow Ellen to meet Drake, or whatever that person's name was...

She didn't really care, to be honest.

So far, they had never explained to Mila why she had to undergo intensive examinations every day without missing a single routine. But, after not getting an answer for a whole week, Mila finally came to the conclusion that; none of these people will give the answer she wanted.

Therefore, Mila no longer asked and chose to follow what had been scheduled for her.

Along the way to Doctor Drake's place, Mila finally dared to ask Ellen again, because she looked quite communicative and also mostly because she couldn't stop her curiosity.

However, what she asked a moment later was a far different question from the one she always posted.

"Do you know a nurse named Bryan?" Mila asked, as they turned in a corridor.

"Oh, he..." Ellen muttered. "Too bad, you won't see him again. He's gone."
