Nearly half an hour had passed and Jasper was still in the same position as before, sitting against the sterile bed with Leon resting his head on his shoulder. Even though the latter told him specifically not to let him sleep for too long, Jasper didn't have the heart to wake him up since he was completely worn out. Not to mention how comfortable he looked sleeping on his shoulder.
"Jasper?" The Asian man felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to Ashley who was now fully awake. His rigid posture relaxed, replaced with relief and a hint of a smile tugging the corner of his lips.
"Hey," Jasper greeted casually, causing Leon to stir slightly and snap awake from his slumber by the small disturbance. Leon lifted his head from Jasper's shoulder, rubbing his eyes after a long and well-deserved sleep. The Asian man commented, his voice laced with amusement, "Look who finally woke up from their beauty sleep."
Leon couldn't help but chuckle softly at the latter's comment, before he turned to Ashley. "Sorry we're late," he said, standing up.
"No. Thank you." Ashley sat up and gazed at her arms, tracing them with gentle strokes. The veins that once intertwined her arms slowly faded away from her skin. "You brought the medicine just in time."
"Can you stand?" Jasper asked the girl as he stood up on his feet.
Ashley nodded before she brought her feet to the edge of the sterile bed, observing her surroundings when a thought occurred, "Where's Luis?"
Leon and Jasper glanced at each other for a moment, their eyes carrying a hint of sadness and weariness. They were hesitant to tell her, but Leon ultimately decided to be honest with the girl. "He was worried about you... until the end," he revealed.
Ashley froze, realizing what he meant by the statement. Her gaze shifted to Jasper and found the man nodding in confirmation, his eyes filled with sympathy and pain. Ashley breathed out, shocked by the revelation.
Jasper reached out and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze, before Leon stood up and ordered, "Come on. We don't have much time."
"He's right," Jasper nodded and offered his hand to Ashley. "Let's get rid of these things."
"For Luis," Ashley spoke determinedly as she stood up on her feet.
Contemplating his options, Leon absentmindedly rubbed his chin as he pondered their next move. With a deep sigh, he reached for his earpiece and sent a call, anticipation coursing through him as he patiently awaited for a response. "Ada, come in. There's a lab where we can remove the parasites. Had a crazy hunch that you'd know where it is."
"Their most important facilities are housed in their sanctuary at the top of the mountain. That's where I'd look," Ada responded.
"Huh. Ada the encyclopedia," Leon quipped, causing Ada to roll her eyes.
