Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 758 Lady In Black

"After that day, I stopped attending university, but I attended online classes. My friends would send recordings and notes, so I was up to date with my studies.

I am sure Elise felt guilty about it." He sighed wryly.

"Anyway, I would be with her day and night, but in the evening, I would make so ti to visit Alice's grave every day. And one evening… I saw a lady in black glasses, wearing a black dress, black watch, black shoes, and carrying a black umbrella."

"Wow… she must love the black color," Eleanor smiled slightly.

"That Lady was you."

"Oh… black is never my first choice. And was it raining that day?" Eleanor asked curiously.

"Sort of…" Rudy nodded. "It was cloudy weather, and the sky was covered in black. It was early evening, yet it seed as though the sun had already set."

Rudy let out a short sigh and continued, "I was sitting by Alice's grave as usual, and you approached from behind. I hadn't seen you, nor I knew it was you, as I had never seen you in such attire before.

You asked if Alice was close to , and I replied with yes. You then asked if she was the closest opposite gender in your heart, and I said yes. Then you asked if I loved her, and I…

I didn't reply to that question. I didn't deserve to love her. So I turned back and saw you. I didn't recognize you at first. You had also cut your hair to a bob-cut hairstyle.

You asked the sa question again, but instead of replying, I asked, 'Who are you?' to Alice?

You smiled slightly and took off your glasses. Only then… I recognized you.

'So I am now a 'who' for you, huh?' You asked with a bitter smile.

We exchanged a few conversations until I received a call from the nurse at the hospital. I was supposed to buy dicines for Elise. So I excused myself, but you called and said you would give a ride.

You asked about Elise and my relationship on the way, and you seed… a little upset. You weren't angry or disappointed… you had a sad look on your face.

You dropped at the hospital and drove away. I was a little sad because I wanted to have a proper conversation with you and settle that matter for forever. But I ran into you again in the hospital elevator.

You had gone to park your car on the underground floor and taken the elevator from there. After getting off the elevator, I went straight to Elise's room, hoping you would follow .

I gave the dicines to the nurse, and I had apparently forgotten to buy the prescribed injection. The nurse then checked the prescription I was given and apologized to , as there was no ntion of the syringe in that prescription.

I sat by Elise's side and talked with her. She teased about my ssy hair. She then looked in the eyes and asked if I was doing okay, and I obviously replied with a yes because I didn't want to worry her unnecessarily.

She fell asleep soon after as her ds had started taking effect. I kissed her on the forehead and left the room. On the way, the nurse inford that the doctor was calling to her office.

I… was scared after hearing that. Usually, the doctors would call a relative to their office to tell so bad news. And I wasn't prepared to know that. I was anxious. I didn't want anything to happen to Elise…. I couldn't afford to lose her.

When I reached the doctor's office, I knocked on her door, and she asked to co inside. I sat on the chair, anxious and scared. All kinds of thoughts were racing in my mind, and I didn't want any of them to win.

The doctor gave a paperclip that had so information written on it. I read it and still couldn't understand what it was, so I asked her. And she said that a famous doctor specialized in skin treatnt would co here to treat Elise.

I was surprised. I knew about that doctor, but her fees were so high that not even Elise's family could manage in a short ti. So I asked the doctor, and she said everything was taken care of.

I was confused, but I assud that Elise's family must have arranged the money from sowhere. But the doctor shook her head and said, 'The lady in the black dress ca here and gave this paper slip. She said that the special doctor is her friend and she would visit this hospital for a week.'

That's when I realized how you knew the directions in the hospital even though it was your first ti there. You had even selected the floor on the elevator."

"Wait…" Eleanor pondered for a few seconds and asked, "Was that specialist doctor's na… Hannah?"

"Yes… Do you know her…?"

"Yes, she's my friend, actually. She owes a few million, took money from to complete her dical studies, and start her own pharmaceutical brand— which I co-own."

"Is that so? I thought Eleanor lied."

"She must have researched everything well before approaching you. And believe , I am damn sure that her running into you in that cetery that day wasn't a coincidence. It was all part of her plan."

"..." Rudy couldn't say anything in response, so he stayed silent.

"Tell , what happened after that?" Eleanor asked with a curious yet knowing look on her face.

Since it was night, I decided to leave for my apartnt. I wanted to take a long bath, make so dinner and return to the hospital early in the morning. So I left the hospital and found you sitting in your car, seemingly waiting for .

You asked to get in, and I did. I didn't want to deal with anything at that ti. I told you to drop off at that apartnt, but you took to a hotel, saying you had already reserved a table for both of us."

'I can already see where this is going…' Eleanor uttered inwardly.
