As Yoko's anger began to subside, the door opened and Ize stuck her head out. "Faye, 92 is here," she said. Her voice was normal, but I caught the meaning in her eyes immediately. I took a deep breath and turned to Yoko.

"Yoko, should we go downstairs?" I said, trying to smile at her slightly. But the tension inside me was reflected on my face. The suspicion and anger in Yoko's eyes had not yet disappeared.

"92? What does that mean?" Yoko asked, her eyebrows furrowed. However, I nodded without saying much and extended my hand to her.

"Please... just come with me," I said, but Yoko's response to my words was an icy silence. We looked at each other for a moment, then she took a deep breath and started to leave the room without taking my hand.

We went down the stairs, and when Yoko saw the person waiting in the middle of the hall, her steps slowed. Her face went pale, her eyes widened, and she turned to me. "This... what is this? Is this a doctor?" she asked, her voice starting to rise.

"Yoko, please..." I said, but it was too late. Yoko took a step back, the fear in her eyes giving way to anger again.

"You lied to me! Is that why you brought me here?!" she shouted, her body shaking. She looked at the doctor and perceived him as a threat.

"No, Yoko, no! He's only here for your health. Really, we're just trying to protect you," I tried to explain, but Yoko wasn't listening. She looked at the doctor, then turned to me and angrily charged at him.

At that moment, the doctor took a few steps forward, but Yoko went even wilder, shouting, "Don't touch me! Leave me alone!" Her body was completely tense, as if she were fighting for her life.

I didn't know what to do, the anxiety inside me was freezing me. However, I realized that I couldn't continue this situation any longer. I took a deep breath, touched Yoko's arm, and looked into her eyes.

"Please... for your own good, Yoko. I just want to protect you," I said, my voice calm but shaky. Yoko looked at me with uncertainty for a moment, then immediately became resistant again as soon as she saw the doctor.

"Is that why you brought me here?!" she cried, but I could not stand it anymore. I did not want to hurt Yoko any more. I was trying to protect her, but it was uncertain whether I was successful in this situation.

The doctor approached us and said, "Yoko, we just want to see you okay." Yoko's reaction to these words intensified. However, the doctor moved quickly to try to calm her down.

Yoko's resistance slowly diminished, and her eyelids became heavy. She looked at me one last time, then she lost consciousness.

The weight inside me crushed me and knocked me to the ground. I did not want to see Yoko in this state, I did not want to struggle with her like this. But there was nothing else I could do. I did not want to lose Yoko, but I also did not know how to save her from this situation.

The doctor helped us calmly take Yoko back to her room and gave her a sedative. Hoping that everything would be okay, I closed my eyes and prayed deeply: "Please, let everything be okay..."

The doctor nodded silently after assessing Yoko's condition. As I looked at Yoko's pale face, my inner turmoil deepened. I turned to the doctor and said, "It's so hard to see her like this... I don't know what to do." My voice was filled with anxiety and despair.

The doctor replied calmly. "In situations like this, the most important thing is to be patient and understanding. It's obvious that Yoko is going through a very stressful time. It's important to be there for her and support her, but trying to force her to do something can only make things worse."
