Hearts Collide (Lingorm)

Chapter 2

As they made their way to the first hospital, Orm's excitement was palpable. They asked around at the reception, tried to get information from the staff, and even wandered through the hospital corridors. But there was no sign of Lingling.

Prigkhing glanced at Orm, who was still looking around with hopeful eyes. "No luck here. Maybe we should try the other hospital?"

Orm nodded, though her earlier enthusiasm was starting to wane. "Yeah, let's go."

The second hospital proved just as fruitless, and Prigkhing's stomach was making its displeasure known.

"Orm, we've been at this for hours. Can we please eat now? I'm starving," Prigkhing pleaded.

Orm hesitated, clearly torn between continuing the search and giving in to her friend's hunger. "Fine, we can grab a quick bite. But then we're back at it."

They found a nearby café, and Prigking wasted no time ordering a large breakfast. Orm, however, was barely picking at her food, her mind still on Lingling.

"Hey," Prigking said, nudging Orm with her elbow. "Stop brooding. We'll find her eventually."

Orm sighed, looking down at her plate. "I just... I can't stop thinking about her, Pri. She was incredible. I've never felt this way before."

Prigking smirked, trying to lighten the mood. "Wow, you've got it bad. What if she lied about being a doctor? Maybe she's just a really convincing actress."

Orm shot her a playful glare. "Don't even joke about that. She's definitely a doctor, what's she getting from lying about it?"

Prigking shrugged her shoulder, " I don't know" seeing her best friend still lost in her thoughts "... Anyways let's give it a break we better get going, May is waiting for us already" Prig pulled a whining Orm up to the car, as they made their way to University.

The university canteen was bustling with activity as Orm and Prigkhing finally joined their friends at their usual table. May and Milk were already seated, their curiosity piqued by their friends' late arrival.

"You're late AGAIN!. Still on that 'mission' you've been on?" May asked, raising an eyebrow as she glanced between Orm and Prigkhing.

Orm sighed heavily, sinking into her chair. "It's pointless. We've been searching for days, and I'm starting to think that doctor might have lied about everything."

Prigking nodded, equally frustrated. "Orm's been obsessed with finding this so-called 'knight,' but we're hitting dead ends everywhere."

May frowned in concern, sensing it indeed serious and affecting her friend looking at Orm's downcast expression. "Why don't you just ask Faye for help? She's got connections everywhere."

Prigkhing quickly shook her head. "Bad idea. You know how Faye is—she's super protective of Orm. If she finds out Orm's stressing over someone, she'll probably make things worse."
