"Gwen is in good health and shows no obvious signs of illness. His breathing is also very steady, so he should not have suffered from the backlash of Honkai Energy... He looks like he is asleep."

"I'm sorry, Rita couldn't figure out what happened to Gwen. We should take him to the medical department for a full examination as soon as possible."

Although she managed to maintain a calm demeanor, Rita eventually abandoned her usual tone and offered her advice directly.

"Then let's send it for examination."

You Lan Dai Er agreed without hesitation.

"Gwen did wake up briefly just now and said he was fine, he just wanted to sleep."

Li Sushang also spoke at the right time, gently placing her slender hand on Gwen's forehead and closing her eyes to sense it for a moment.

"Moreover, Gwen's inner energy is very stable, and there is no sign of him being corrupted by demons."

"In short, he's neither sick nor affected by the Honkai, but he's just in a deep sleep and won't wake up?"

Anna, who squeezed to the edge of the bed, managed to extract useful information from Li Sushang's words. She frowned as she looked at the exhausted Gwen and picked him up, blanket and all.

"Kiana, open the door for me. We need to get Gwen to the hospital for a thorough examination as soon as possible."

"Oh, okay..."

Somewhat flustered, Kiana immediately ran to open the door so that Anna, who was holding Gwen, could leave safely.

Bathed in the soft glow of the Crystal Flower by the bedside, the girls surrounded Gwen and left, heading towards the medical ward...

When Gwen awoke again and opened his eyes with some difficulty, he was greeted by a ceiling that was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar.

"You're awake?"

Before Gwen even wonder where he was, a voice that sounded like a sigh of relief rang in his ears, Misterine's figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision, standing beside the bed.

Chapter 339 Sharing a Bed but Not Sharing a Pillow?

How are you feeling?

Is there anything bothering you?

Misterine stood beside the bed, looking at Gwyn, who still looked exhausted, Gwen voice gentle and her pretty face full of concern.

"Thank you, no, not at all."

Gwen sensed his body and, confirming that he was in better condition than ever before, gently shook his head in response to Misterine.

"Thank you for looking for me all this time, Misterine."

"It's us!"

Elysia's playful voice also rang in Gwen's mind, instantly clearing his head, which was still a little Gwen.

"Then thank you to our dear Elysia."

Gwen raised his hand to rub his temples and smiled in response to Elysia.

However, Gwen's movement also startled the figure lying beside the bed—

"Um?

"Gwen, you're awake?"

Anna, still half-asleep, blinked and looked at Gwen, who was rubbing his temples. A look of surprise flashed across her pretty face, and she jumped up.

"I'll go get the doctor to take a look."

"No need..."

Holding Anna's small hand to stop the girl from leaving, Gwen tried to organize his thoughts, trying not to be affected by the messages that kept popping up.

"Anna, there's nothing wrong with my body. I just fainted because my brain received too much information and couldn't handle it all at once."

To put it simply, it's like stuffing the contents of a whole library of books into my head.

Who did it?

"Did a new Herrscher attack you at headquarters?"

Upon hearing this, Anna did not relax at all; instead, she became even more nervous and looked around.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's not a new type of Herrscher, nor is it an attack, it's a completely good thing."

Seeing this, Gwen could only give a wry smile, tightening his grip on the girl's small hand to pull her to sit on the bed, changing the subject—

"I was so sleepy I fell asleep. Anna, how long have you been watching over me here?"

"It hasn't been too long. Before, everyone took turns guarding the area, but Bianca and Rita went on a mission a couple of days ago, Kiana and the others had classes, so I've been guarding the area for a bit longer."

Upon hearing this, Anna indeed did not pursue the answer to the previous question. She scratched her slightly messy hair, and her pretty face flushed slightly.

After all, it's a bit embarrassing for a dignified A-rank Valkyrie to fall asleep while keeping someone company.

And she even fell asleep while holding Gwen's hand...

"Little Anna has been watching over you here for two days and two nights without leaving!"

Meanwhile, Elysia in Gwen's mind was chuckling and undermining Anna.

"Alright, I'm awake now. Anna, you should get some sleep too."

Hearing Elysia's thoughtful suggestion, Gwen felt a surge of emotion and shifted his body to the side, making room for Anna on half of the bed.

"Eh, but..."

Upon hearing this, Anna was about to refuse.

But before the girl could utter a word, Gwen's hand had already climbed onto her slender waist, gently pulling her down onto the bed—

"Get a good night's sleep, Anna."

"I'll lend the girl my arm to rest on, "Gwen.

"Okay... alright..."

Even though there was a blanket between them, Anna could still feel Gwen's warmth, which made her whole body go limp, and she agreed with a slightly dizzy head.

Hearing the girl's words, which were almost filled with shyness, Gwen smiled gently and said nothing more. He simply lifted the blanket off himself and covered the girl with it.

"Get some rest, Anna. I don't need to sleep for now; I need to sort out the information in my head."

"Okay, I'm going to sleep now..."

This time, Anna truly felt the Gwen left on the blanket with her own skin. Her voice was somewhat slurred, and her eyes were tightly closed, but her trembling eyelashes indicated that the girl couldn't fall asleep for the time being.

Gwen made no further moves.

His gaze shifted to the bedside, landing on Misterine, who stood silently watching everything unfold.

"Misterine, you should rest too."

"It doesn't matter. I am not an ordinary human being. Whether I rest or not is meaningless to me."

Misterine shook her head upon hearing this, her gesture suggesting that she was about to sit in the chair Anna had just been sitting in.

"But you have to find some sense of self-worth to make yourself feel more comfortable, right?"

Upon hearing Gwen shook his head slightly and continued speaking in his mind.

"For someone like me, if needed, I could go a year without sleeping without any problem."

However, I maintain my basic physiological habits unless absolutely necessary.

Anna, who was less than 30 centimeters away from Misterine, did not react to Misterine at all. Gwen realized that Misterine was just a phantom in his eyes, so he continued to communicate with her mentally through their connection.

Misterine paused upon hearing this, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

However, when her gaze fell upon Anna, who was lying on her side facing her, her eyelashes trembling slightly, a flicker of emotion flashed in Misterine's eyes—

"Alright, then I'll go back to the Stigmata Space to rest first—"

By the way, you were in a coma for seven days, during which time nothing of great importance happened in the world.

I brought you the Crystal Flower that you used to put by your bedside; it's in the cabinet next to you now...

Goodnight, see you tomorrow.

Seemingly accepting Gwen's advice, Misterine said goodnight as a final farewell.

Goodnight, Misterine, see you tomorrow.

Upon hearing this, Gwen smiled and, following their connection, said goodnight to Misterine.

After Misterine helped Gwen sort out the Stigmata given to him by Yae Sakura, Gwen also established a special connection with her.

"So Gwen, would you like to have a chat with me next?"

Do you still want to be alone?

After Misterine left, Elysia asked with a grin.

After transferring her soul from the golden Crystal Flower she had created to Gwen's Stigmata Space, Elysia also established a subtle connection with Gwen through the Stigmata, which not only made her recovery faster but also allowed her to vaguely sense Gwen's condition.

At this moment, Elysia could sense Gwen's contradictory state of being both exhausted and lucid.

Because she couldn't be sure whether Gwen wanted someone to talk to or just wanted some quiet time alone, Elysia asked that question.

"Elysia, you should get some rest too. I need some time to process the information in my mind."

Seeing Elysia's understanding, Gwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 340 The Decision Under the Valkyrie Quicksilver.

"Well... see you tomorrow~?"

As the girl's sweet voice faded, Elysia had already returned to the Stigmata Space.

Gwen, however, ignored the messages that kept popping up from time to time and instead opened his system first—

He was in a coma for seven days, and it's unknown whether any important news came from others.

At the very least, Gwen is sure Seele is extremely worried... Robin is probably also concerned because he hasn't replied to her messages for a long time...

As Gwen expected, upon opening the Chat System, he found 99+ unread messages.

Gwyn first opened the conversation with Seele and saw that her tone was getting more and more urgent, and at the end it even sounded like she was crying. Gwen was moved and quickly replied to the message.

Almost the instant Gwen sent his message, Seele replied—

"Brother Gwen, I'm so glad you're alright!"

Even just hearing the voice, Gwen could almost picture the girl's joyful expression.

However, before Gwen could even offer a few words of comfort to the girl who had been living in fear for days, Seele's message arrived again—

"Brother Gwen, the situation under the Valkyrie Quicksilver is very urgent. His eyes are frighteningly red, and he has grown sharp canines..."

After the words came a photo of him tied to a bed under the Valkyrie Quicksilver.

Gwen could tell from the girl's expression that Valkyrie Quicksilver was trying her best to suppress her bloodlust; her lips were bitten raw and bloody, yet she still hadn't broken free of the ropes binding her.

Realizing instantly how many changes his seven-day coma had caused, Gwen felt a pang of anxiety, but was also relieved that he hadn't been unconscious for longer.

Relieved, Gwen didn't hesitate, breaking his own words and pulling his arm away from behind Anna's head—

"Excuse me, Anna, I might need to use the restroom."

"Okay, sure."

Anna, who hadn't been able to sleep, sat up instantly upon hearing this, trying to get out of bed but was pressed down by Gwen—

"Anna, you can rest here. I'm perfectly fine."

Left with no other choice, Gwen chose a somewhat awkward topic. Having already jumped off the bed, he stretched his body in front of Anna to indicate that he was alright, and then pushed Anna back onto the bed.

"Okay, remember to call me if anything happens..."

Anna, who was actually a little reluctant to leave, nodded her head and lay back down with Gwen's help.

"You can sleep peacefully. You've been watching over me for so many days, it's time for me to watch over you."

With a flick of his index finger, Gwen hooked Anna's delicate nose and entered the private bathroom in the ward with Gwen smile.
