                 "Will anyone at the care unit be there at this time? I mean someone that could help her," said Fei. "We are just getting a check up on her," said Nina. "Well, I'm sobered up now," said Steve while they were on the carriage on the way to the care unit. Ian just watched ⨊,caressing her back gently.

"How can..." said the nurse stopping when she noticed ⨊ in Ian's arms. "Wait here, I'll get the doctor," said the nurse after she led them to a room. "Where did you find the kid?" asked the doctor who saw ⨊ as he entered. "We just found her on the street," said Nina. "Why?" asked Vincent. "Put her down. Let me examine her first," said the doctor. "I am not putting her down. Examine her like this," said Ian sitting on the table, putting ⨊ on his lap and holding her. "Ian how can..." "It's ok," said the doctor interrupting Alex after seeing Ian expression. "Wait let me explain to her first," said Ian.

⎨Little girl, I won't leave your side. Is it ok to let a doctor see your wounds?⎬ wrote Ian on ⨊'s palm. ⨊ just glanced around before nodding yes in reply. "You can examine her now," said Ian. "She can't hear?" asked the doctor. "We don't know," said Vincent. As soon as the doctor approached ⨊, she stared straight at him which made him quiver with fright, though he didn't understand why. "I won't hurt you. I'm just here to check on your wounds and make you better," he said explaining himself to ⨊. After a few seconds, ⨊ just looked away and continued to look at nothing. While the doctor cautiously checked her wounds and so on.

Nina and Vincent just glanced at each other. Caren, Haley, Steve and Gin also exchanged glances. Only Alex, Fei, Rin and Mike were confused by the doctor's behavior. So was the nurse that was with them. Since he was told that she couldn't hear anything, yet he explained himself to a kid.
