A black sedan arrived in front of the Hospital, and a white-haired young man left the car and said, ''Michael, wait here.''
''Young master, your mother told me to come with you,'' Michael said urgently and was about to open the car's door.
''No, stay here.'' Isaac said sternly and continued, ''Please.''
Michael sighed and removed his hand from the door's handle, ''Please, return quickly.''
Isaac nodded and closed the door. He turned around to face the large building in front of him.
He looked at his hand and the strawberry chocolate on his hand.
Soon, he reached the door's leading to the hospital's lounge and opened them, but he didn't enter yet. Instead, he kept the doors open and stepped aside.
Because an old man in a wheelchair was about to leave the hospital but couldn't open the doors.
''T-Thank you, young man.'' He said with gratitude and with a hoarse tone. He used his wrinkly and skinny arms to move the wheels of the wheelchair forwards and soon left the building.
Isaac nodded and entered the building, but before that, he glanced at the old man, who was moving away at a slow, but steady pace.
Soon, he turned his gaze away and went straight towards the receptionist, which had a couple of nurses on standby.
The first nurse, who was using a computer, had a short auburn-colored pixie-style haircut with adorable facial features.
The second nurse, who was the first one to notice a white-haired young man approaching, had long blond hair with a petite body and mature-like face, which made her look like the older sister of others.
She tapped the first nurse's shoulder gently and politely smiled towards Isaac, who had already reached the receptionist desk.
The first nurse turned her gaze away from the computer and widened her eyes in a slight shock after seeing the white-haired young man.
''Hello, what is your purpose of visit?'' The second nurse asked, and Isaac saw her nametag, which was stuck on her chest.
[Sofia]
''I am here visiting a patient,'' Isaac replied and looked at the other nurse who had nametag [Maria] on her chest.
''Alright, what are the patient's name and your relation to the patient?'' Maria said and was ready to start typing on the keyboard.
''Her name is Luna, and I am her friend,'' Isaac said and soon saw both Maria's and Sofia's faces turning into a slight surprise.
''Excuse me, are you sure?'' Sofia asked with a frown and saw Isaac nodding.
''She doesn't have friends.'' Maria suddenly said and examined Isaac closely, ''How did you meet her.''
Isaac scratched his head and replied truthfully, ''In the game, White Online. Heard about it?''
Maria and Sofia looked at each other with a slight shock before replying, ''I-I see... Is it alright if one of us will accompany you? She is not in good health after all.''
''That's fine,'' Isaac said and saw Sofia and Maria discussing.
They came to a conclusion soon, and it was Maria who would accompany Isaac.
''Follow me.'' She said with a slight smile and started hopping towards the nearby elevator with her nurse outfit gently fluttering alongside her movements.
Few young men and older men glanced at cheerful Maria. She is, after all, quite an attractive individual, especially towards the opposite sex.
Isaac entered the elevator with Maria, and soon, the doors closed.
While in the elevator.
Maria saw the white-haired young man carrying something that resembled a chocolate, ''Chocolate?''
Isaac looked at the chocolate and hid it sneakily, ''U-Umm...''
But then, Maria giggled and covered her mouth quickly, ''It's fine, we don't forbid them.''
Isaac sighed in relief and nodded, ''Yes... This is for Luna, not sure will she like it, though.''
''What type of chocolate?'' She asked curiously.
''Strawberry,'' Isaac replied.
Maria smiled and nodded, ''She will love it.''
Isaac smiled and nodded; he felt slightly more confident after those words.
But then, Maria asked a question with a sly smile, ''Are you her... Boyfriend or something?''
Isaac chuckled and shook his head, ''We are friends; we spent some time together in the game.''
Maria nodded and kept tapping her chin. She has a hunch that it isn't so simple; after all, people who only spent some time together wouldn't visit each other in the hospital.
*Ding*
The elevator's doors opened, and Maria was the first one to leave it, followed by Isaac.
Isaac remembered where Luna's room was and saw Maria walking straight towards it.
*Knock* *Knock*
She knocked on the door a few times and entered it, while Isaac stayed outside the room until Maria came back and smiled softly, ''You may enter, our princess is awake!''
Isaac nodded and walked inside the room. He heard Maria closing the door, but his focus was on the bed with a pale-looking girl lying on it with her eyes slightly open.
''Isaac...'' Luna muttered softly with her pale face having a slight smile.
Isaac smiled and sat down on the chair while Maria stood on the sidelines and looked at Luna's facial expression, which showed her happiness.
A familiar VR Helmet was lying on top of a desk, which seemed untouched today. Instead, Luna was already waiting for this meeting for a whole day and barely slept during the night; that's why there were slight eye bags under her eyes.
''I-I saw you getting First Clear.'' Luna said with her tired tone, which had a tinge of innocence, ''Y-You are awesome.''
Isaac chuckled and grabbed the chocolate bar slightly tighter, ''Slight luck played a part.'' He looked at the chocolate bar and decided what to do with that. He put it down on the hospital bed next to Luna, who seemed confused.
He scratched his head and said, ''I bought you chocolate; I hope you like it.''
Luna's eyes started sparkling as she grabbed the chocolate bar, and the first thing she saw was that it was strawberry.
''Not sure which was your favorite, so I grabbed one randomly.'' He tapped his fingers with slight awkwardness.
But then, Luna smiled and said, ''I-It's my favorite.''
Isaac looked at her face and didn't see even a tinge of lies, only pure innocence.
He smiled and nodded, ''Good....''
