The pressure came to Caroline. He had suggested that Lillian leave the Reunion Movement, but she had clearly refused. Naturally, he could not talk about it anymore. If Tallulah went to ask in person, the result would be even worse. Lillian would probably think that he had taken the opportunity to say something to Tallulah, and he would not be able to reason with her.

He felt a dull pain in his head, so he rubbed it with his hand and began to speak earnestly: "You should know that Lillian is an infected person, and she definitely wants to fight for the interests of the infected. We have to understand her."

Tallulah nodded and said sincerely, "I understand, but fighting for the interests of the infected is a very long process, and she is not missing on this road."

Caroline coughed awkwardly and continued to persuade: "It's wrong to think this way. If everyone thinks this way, what will happen to the future of the infected?"

At this point, Tallulah began to lose her composure and her tone became excited: "But you have seen what happened today. If she continues like this, she will face the threat of death."

"This..." Carolingian pulled his beard hard, wanting to say something eagerly, but Tallulah spoke faster and stopped him in an instant.

"After all this, you still want to..." Tallulah's pale face was full of incomprehension, "Aren't you Lillian's uncle?"

Carolingian felt a black screen before his eyes and he couldn't breathe for a long time. He finally realized what it meant to be too clever and end up shooting himself in the foot.

Earlier, in order to gain an advantage in the negotiation with Tallulah, he deliberately claimed that Lillian was her niece, implying that the two had a close relationship. But the actual situation was: although it was true in name, it was still unclear whether Lillian would admit it or not.

If the secret was revealed, wouldn't it be like he was just wishful thinking? If Lillian got angry and turned against him, he wouldn't know where to put his face. In his opinion, a young girl like this could do anything when she was angry, so it was normal for her not to give him face.

Before he could think of a word, Miss Longnu realized that she was too excited. She apologized and gave him some advice: "My Lord Marquis, I have an idea. What do you think?"

"I know your business is different from other nobles. You purchased a legal old mine, and this business does not violate the laws of the empire. I also know that the other end of the business is Kal'tsit in Rhodes Island, and Lillian is familiar with both sides, so it's just right for her to be a middleman. As for the issue of mineral resources, you can rest assured. Even without Lillian, I will ensure that your 'old mine' will not be out of stock."

Carolingian opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but felt he had no idea where to start.

Why did things turn out like this? Shouldn't he be able to manipulate these youngsters with just a few words?

Why exactly?

This was the first negotiation between the Marquis Carolingian, known as the "Empire Fox", and Tallulah, the young leader of the Integration Movement, and the result was a disastrous defeat for the "Fox". Of course, future generations will not be able to see this section in history books, and the Marquis himself avoided talking about that experience.

Volume 4: Chapter 55: Visit

In the end, Lord Carolingian could only euphemistically say that he would find a proper solution. He also carefully asked Talullah for help and asked her not to speak nonsense to avoid misunderstanding.

Tallulah agreed readily.

At this moment, the sky outside was getting brighter and the city was gradually becoming lively. Caroline had someone bring breakfast to Tallulah, and then he went to another room to rest on the grounds that he was too old and his body could not bear it.

Tallulah ate her breakfast and rested her eyes on the sofa for a while. She felt she had regained some energy, but she didn't want to stay in the room all the time, so she went out for a walk alone.

She wandered around casually and unknowingly arrived at the door of Bai Lang's ward. She remembered that the doctor said Miss Bai Lang was in the medical observation period and it was not convenient to go in and disturb her, so she just wandered around the door.

In fact, since she had not been here very often, Tallulah herself was not very clear about the procedures of this kind of modern hospital. She thought that the "medical observation" mentioned by the doctor meant that someone was always watching the patients and the equipment. However, she stayed at the door for about a quarter of an hour but did not feel any movement in the room, so she could not help but tiptoe and look inside through the door and window.

It would not matter if she did not look, but once she did, Tallulah was immediately furious. There was no one else in the room except White Wolf. The so-called "medical observation" was probably handled by someone else!

What if White Wolf's injuries are serious? No, we must find someone to come immediately.

Talulah frowned and prepared to find a doctor immediately, but suddenly found that she didn't know where to go. She was unfamiliar with the place, but since she couldn't find a doctor, she should be able to find a nurse.

She went to the nurses' station and found the sleepy nurse on duty, then patiently and politely expressed her needs.

After hearing this, the nurse was not anxious at all. Instead, she laughed at her and said that what the doctor meant was that the patient was resting and recovering, not that he literally needed to be observed. Moreover, even if something really went wrong, the medical equipment had an automatic alarm function and there was no need to keep an eye on him.

Although the nurse's popular science seemed to be fine, Tallulah was completely worried and confused, still brooding over the other party's "irresponsibility". Fortunately, she heard good news and was no longer in the mood to care about it.

The nurse told her that family members could go in and take care of the patient as long as it did not disturb the patient's rest, but many family members would cause trouble for the patient out of kindness, so it was not recommended to do so.

Tallulah came to White Wolf's ward again, looking around anxiously. The hospital corridor was empty in the early morning, and there was no one in sight. She silently repeated the news the nurse told her, gently opened the door, walked into the room, then turned around and carefully closed the door.

Miss White Wolf lay quietly on the white bed in the middle of the room, covered with a white quilt. Her left arm was exposed from the quilt and placed at her side. Two infusion needles, one brown and one purple, were fixed on her arm.

Tallulah stood on tiptoe, trying not to make any noise and walked over slowly. She saw that the White Wolf's face was still as pale as paper, and she could only judge that he was out of danger from the regular rise and fall of his body.

What the nurse said was right. What the other party needed most now was rest. This was an injury that almost cost him his life. There was no way he could recover in a short time.

It’s great that Miss White Wolf is still alive.

She slowly stretched out her hand, wanting to touch the sleeper's cheek with great desire, but stopped tremblingly in mid-air.

She suddenly became afraid that the person in front of her was just a dream, which would shatter if she touched it.

She bent down, looked carefully at the pale face, listened to the weak breathing, and yesterday's events came to her mind, and her heart was broken again.

Those are the emperor's inner guards. I told you to leave immediately when you see them.

You are so smart, why don't you listen?

Why don't you listen?

Something cold passed across her cheek, and she wiped it with her hand, and found that it was her own tears. She stared at the crystal liquid on her fingertips, and remembered the last words that White Wolf said to her, "Xiaota, don't cry."

Do you know what would become of me if you were gone?

She squatted in front of the bed, covering her face with her slender fingers, and sobbing softly with her shoulders heaving.

Perhaps the noise she tried her best to cover up was still too loud, and the sleeping white wolf snorted softly.

The first time Tallulah heard the White Wolf's snort, her heart immediately jumped.

Is the White Wolf about to wake up?

She suppressed her excitement, wiped away her tears silently, put on what she thought was the gentlest smile on her face, raised her head, and prepared to greet Miss White Wolf who had woken up.

However, Miss White Wolf did not wake up. She just frowned in her dream and fell asleep again.

Tallulah was both disappointed and relieved. She was disappointed that Miss White Wolf didn't wake up, but relieved that she wouldn't be noticed because she had just cried.

At this moment, she once again thought of the doctor's advice that it would be best to let the patient rest and relax at this time. She might have disturbed Bai Lang just now.

It’s better to go out and wait.

She made up her mind, and tiptoed to the door, put her right hand on the door handle, and slowly pressed it down.

"Xiaota." A faint call came from behind her.

Tallulah's body froze in place.

"Xiaota, is that you?" the weak voice asked again.

"Yes, it's me." Tallulah said blankly.

"Come here, don't leave."

Tallulah suddenly had a feeling that every word of the extremely weak man on the hospital bed was her iron order. Her brain was still thinking, but her body had turned around and walked to the White Wolf.

The person on the bed tilted his head and looked at her carefully for a while, and finally a smile appeared on his pale face: "Xiaota, your injury has healed, so I must have driven the bad guys away in the end."

“Yeah.” Tallulah’s nose felt sore and she blinked hard to stop the tears from flowing out. “You saved me and beat the bad guys away. You are the best.”

White Wolf started to feel embarrassed: "Don't say that, I'm just lucky, you've always been better."

"No, it's not." Tallulah wanted to argue, but when she saw Miss White Wolf smiling at her, her heart softened immediately, and she said nothing and just looked at her quietly.

"Xiaota, I feel like I'm dreaming. How about you pinch me, but be gentle. I'm not in a good condition right now."

"Yeah." Tallulah nodded and leaned over to kiss the white wolf on the cheek.

An abnormal blush appeared on Bai Lang's face. She was so excited that she gasped when she spoke: "You, why are you like this again, you, Victoria. Forget it, I know I'm not dreaming."

"Where is this place?" White Wolf asked.

"The hospital in Koros."

"Koros? Oh, I see."

White Wolf closed his eyes slightly, feeling a little embarrassed. He had just said a lot of proud words to old man Carolingian, but he didn't expect that he would be sent here as a seriously injured soldier so soon.

She opened her eyes again and noticed the dropper hanging beside her, with the gray-white label of Rhine Life printed on the surface of the dropper.

She secretly sighed in her heart that Rhine Life was a company with no moral bottom line and she was unwilling to have anything to do with it. However, it was this company's reagents that saved her more than once.

Volume 4: Chapter 56: Believe It To Be True

After White Wolf finished expressing his feelings about Rhine's life, he saw Miss Dragon Girl standing there blankly, and couldn't help but laugh: "Are you stupid? Go get a stool."

"Oh." Tallulah nodded in sudden realization. She turned around and looked around the room, then walked over and said, "There's no stool."

"Then sit on the right." Bai Lang pointed at the bed with his right hand which was not connected to the IV.

The dragon girl walked around and sat beside him, thinking about how to ask the white wolf to leave the integration movement.

White Wolf noticed that the other person looked like he was deep in thought, so he asked, "What's wrong? Tell me what's bothering you."

"Nothing." Tallulah turned her head and pretended to observe the ward, deliberately avoiding looking at White Wolf.

She discovered a problem. It wasn't that she couldn't think of a reason for the other party to leave the Reunion, but she was unwilling to ask for it. She had clearly made the decision before, but when the time came, she couldn't make up her mind.

This kind of matter should probably be left to the Marquis Carolingian.

But she was not at ease letting Caroline handle it entirely. After all, this matter concerned Miss White Wolf, and she did not want to keep avoiding it. It would be safer to speak up in person.

So, the matter came back to the point again. How could she open her mouth?

All the firm thoughts in my mind disappeared the moment I saw Miss White Wolf.

To put it bluntly, she couldn't bear to do so.

She knew that if she saw Miss White Wolf standing in another place, she would be sad and might even regret it.

So should we just let it go and allow the other party to return to the integration movement?

Maybe it is possible. Yesterday's incident was largely unexpected. Moreover, after experiencing that incident, her Originium skills seemed to have improved to a higher level, which should be enough to protect Miss White Wolf.

That’s right, she has this ability, so White Wolf doesn’t need to leave!

White Wolf saw that Tallulah seemed to be worried, so he said, "Little Tallulah, if you have any questions, just tell me and I will help you think of a solution."

Without waiting for the dragon girl to reply, she thought about what happened in the past few days and became sad: "I don't know how long I have to lie here. I can only give you some advice. I can't help you directly for the time being. Xiaota, I know you have a heavy burden on your shoulders, but you still have to learn to relax and don't let yourself be too tired. Didn't I tell you that I will help you no matter what."

Tallulah's heart was stirred again by White Wolf's words.

She thought silently, Tallulah, do you really have the ability to protect others? Or is it all your cowardice and selfishness? In fact, you have always known that as long as the White Wolf is in the integration movement, it will never be out of danger.

She suddenly felt a long-lost sense of relief, and her eyes softened. She naturally acted out an expression of deep distress. At the moment she spoke, she even thought that what she said was the truth: "White Wolf, there is actually something about the Reunion Movement that has been bothering me for a long time. Now I think that only you can come up with a solution."

"You say." White Wolf's eyes lit up and he perked up.

"You know, the organization hopes to expand to the south after the spring, but our material problems are not solved at all."

"It doesn't matter. We'll just have to wait until the Originium Mine business starts. It won't take long."

"That's what I want to say. There isn't enough Originium ore. You were in Rhodes Island at the time. We checked the ore warehouse and found that a large part of it was waste ore. Now there are more and more people in the organization, and I'm worried..."

"Abandoned mine?" Although White Wolf had personally checked the ore and did not see any abandoned mine, she never thought that Tallulah would lie about such a thing, so she believed it and panicked.

The biggest confidence of the integration movement moving south is the expected material support. If this advantage disappears, the situation in the future may become extremely difficult, and other solutions must be considered.

Tallulah nodded guiltily.

"Don't blame yourself." White Wolf comforted her hurriedly. Perhaps she spoke too quickly and the wound was affected. A cramp in her abdomen spread throughout her body. She clenched her teeth so as not to let Tallulah see.

"I, I will think about it. By the way, Marquis Carolingian, Tallulah, don't worry, I will ask him for help when I recover. Don't worry, I will definitely solve this problem."

The door of the ward was suddenly opened and the doctor walked in. He was extremely surprised by Tallulah's presence. He frowned and said, "The patient needs to rest in peace. It's not time to talk casually yet. Miss Yeka can come back in the afternoon."

Then, he turned to White Wolf and said, "Ms. Lillian, I am the Marquis's personal physician. I will be in charge of your medical affairs for the time being. I must remind you of one thing. Given your current condition, every word you say will delay your recovery."

Bai Lang knew that the doctor could not lie to her. In just a short while, she said she was tired and began to feel sleepy. She obediently stopped talking and only winked at Miss Longnu, hinting her to come back later.

Tallulah apologized to the doctor, then quietly waved to White Wolf and left the ward alone.

"Doctor, how am I doing?" White Wolf asked, yawning.

The doctor was using a syringe to mix several Rhine Life medicines into a dropper. Hearing this, he said hesitantly, "Your injuries have recovered very well, but your mineralogy will probably get worse. I can't measure the exact degree of worsening here."

"Ore disease." White Wolf muttered helplessly.

Once infected, the disease will always wait for an opportunity to take the host's life. Last time in Rhode Island, Dr. Hemer took a lot of effort to control her condition, and it is unclear how serious it will be this time.

The doctor added, "You don't have to worry too much. Because of some special circumstances, I don't think the condition will get worse. I was planning to suggest to the master that I send you to Rhodes Island once you get better."

White Wolf estimated that after returning to Rhodes Island, she might be restricted by Kal'tsit or Hummer, and the Reunion Movement was in a turbulent period, so she didn't want to stay there. It happened that she still had some inhibitors left, so she might as well use them first and see what happens next.

She shook her head and said to the doctor, "No need. I know my physical condition well. The deterioration this time is relatively mild. There is no need to return to Rhodes Island, and there is no need to mention it to the Marquis."

"Okay." The doctor said helplessly. He changed the IV bottle and said, "I'll be out first. You need to rest now. If you need anything, just press the button on the bedside and someone will come over."

"Well, thank you."

As soon as the doctor left, White Wolf couldn't resist his sleepiness and soon fell asleep.
