Noelle was worried that she was living in a dream now and that the dream would end if she woke up.
Frank looked at her and, while pretending to be lighthearted, he asked, "How do you feel now? Did you have another nightmare?"
"It's just a dream. There's no need to take it seriously," she answered, pretending to be relaxed.
Noelle didn't want the Liddells to know too much. After all, many things that had happened recently were different from their previous life.
Frank nodded. "You're right. It's just a nightmare, and it isn't real."
After Noelle finished breakfast, she left right away. Meanwhile, Frank had no appetite at all, and he looked incredibly miserable. Whenever he remembered that Noelle was tortured to death, he couldn't get over it.
Donovan looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Frank looked back at him. "Have you heard about rebirths before?"
"Rebirths, huh? Do you mean the stuff that happens in science fiction?"
"Yeah. What if it happens in real life, too?"
Of course, Donovan wasn't a fool. He thought about it for a moment and said, "Are you trying to say that Carl and Noelle were reborn?"
"I don't know if it happened to Carl, but it most likely happened to Noelle." After saying that, Frank told Donovan about Noelle's nightmare.
When Donovan heard about it, his expression changed. "Could she be talking nonsense?"
"Do you think so? Don't you think it was weird as well when Carl returned? Both he and Noelle said there was something wrong with PZ Group."
Donovan fell silent right away. Then, he said, "According to Carl's dream, Noelle died in a mental hospital, right?"
"Yeah. She dreamed she was back in the mental hospital just now as well. That was why she said those strange words earlier." As Frank spoke, his eyes immediately welled up with tears.
Noelle grabbed Mia's hand and said, "I'm glad you're awake."
"Thank you," Mia said softly. She already knew that Noelle had gone to look for Carl just to save her life. She knew more about Noelle's relationship with the Liddell brothers than anyone.
Noelle wiped Mia's tears and said, "There's no need for thanks. After all, what are friends for?"
"But, the Liddells…"
Noelle shook her head. "Nothing is more important than your life. If you really feel bad, get well soon. Then, help me find the person behind everything. That's the only way we can truly be safe."
Mia nodded. "I will."
After they chatted for a while, Noelle left the ICU. Mia still needed to rest at that moment.
When Noelle came out of the ward, she saw Eugene and Alfred. Alfred said softly to her, "The former president of PZ Group, Mike, has been captured by Eugene's man."
