There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

"I say... where did you learn these strange things, and from whom?"

Pointing her finger at Rosemary's forehead, Talina curled her lips and said, "Do you know that if you behave like this in a takeaway shop, you will be arrested?"

"They were taken to the Imperial Guards and locked up, and they didn't give them any food for several days!"

In order to scare Rosemary, Talina made the consequences of the matter sound much more serious.

If I don't correct this little girl's bad habits in time, I might really have to run to the Guards Bureau to get her out one day.

Rosemary lowered her head, said nothing, and just stayed quietly beside Talina.

For her, just being able to stay with Talina was a very happy thing. Whether it was preaching or praise, she could feel the happiness from it.

This is what Rosemary has become known for over the years.

There are many people who are kind to her, including Dr. Kal'tsit, Amiya, and that big Philin who likes to touch her head. Rosemary feels the presence of kindness from them.

But that kind of compassion, based on the premise of pitying her, naturally treated her as a weak child who needed protection.

Rather than a partner to travel with.

But there is no such trouble when getting along with Talina. Rosemary can feel many emotions in her that she once had but now lacks.

She can show her truest side to Talina without worrying about any problems.

Because deep down in her heart there was a voice telling her...

They are very close.

They should be.

Any extra emotions were useless decorations. To get close to him, to snuggle in her arms, and to be with her all the time, this was what she wanted to do.

This is what Rosemary thought and did.

He held Talina's little hand and squeezed it, then pushed his head upwards, interrupting Talina.

"what happened?"

Feeling something strange in her arms, Talina stopped chattering and looked down at Rosemary.

"Sleepy..."

Rosemary said this in a soft voice and yawned.

Are you sleepy?

Looking at the cloudless weather outside the window, Talina raised her hand to check the time again.

Two forty-seven? It's definitely time for a nap, but...

Have you been here for so long?

Frowning, Talina first reached out to comfort Rosemary, and then prepared to say goodbye to Rosemary.

She still had to go back. Rhodes Island was quite far from where she lived. If she was any later, she might not be able to catch up with Chen after get off work.

"Then you should rest first. I won't disturb you. I'll come to see you when I have time."

Reaching out and patting Rosemary on the head, Talina stood up and prepared to leave, but Rosemary grabbed her sleeve.

Talina was not careful for a moment and was pulled and fell on the bed.

"Well...time to rest."

Pulling Talina's sleeve, Rosemary looked at Talina eagerly.

"If you feel sleepy, just take a rest and don't force yourself."

Talina pretended not to see anything and comforted Rosemary, then stood up again.

She was not a fool and could understand what Rosemary meant, but now they were both grown up and naturally different from before.

At that time, the two of them were young and it was no problem for them to sleep in the same bed. It was common for them to sleep in each other's arms. But now it is different.

Talina is big!

There are definitely other issues that need to be considered. In addition, this is a Rhode Island dormitory, and it is inevitably inappropriate for an outsider like me to sleep here.

But Rosemary didn't care about that. No matter how many times Talina got up, she could always pull her back with the right amount of force.

After going back and forth several times, Talina became anxious.

If she keeps pulling like this, it would be strange if her sleeves aren't pulled off.

"Let go!"

With her hands on her hips, Talina glared at Rosemary.

Rosemary lowered her head, as if admitting her mistake, but she still didn't let go of Talina's sleeve. Her main point was, you have your say, I'll listen to you.

I know I was wrong, but I will do it again next time!

No matter what Talina said, Rosemary refused to let go.

Helplessly, Talina had to sit down again.

"This is Rhodes Island, not my home. It's not appropriate for me to rest here, okay? What if Amiya comes back later and sees us?"

Seeing that threats had no effect, Talina had no choice but to slowly reason with Rosemary.

But no matter how Tarina tried to persuade her with emotion or reason, Rosemary still maintained her previous attitude.

Listen to the words, but don't do it.

There was no other way, Talina had to put on a stern face and fight with Rosemary.

As time passed, Rosemary's yawns became less and less frequent, and her eyelids kept fighting each other.

Talina's silence made Rosemary mistakenly believe that she had successfully retained Talina, so she let down her guard a little, hugged Talina's arm and slowly closed her eyes.

Talina was observing Rosemary's reaction. After Rosemary closed her eyes completely, she began to try to pull her hand out of Rosemary's arms.

Carefully helping Rosemary to the bed, Talina considerately covered her belly with a thin blanket.

After confirming that everything was correct, Talina slowly left.

Just as Talina walked to the door, Rosemary, who had just been sleeping soundly in bed, suddenly woke up.

The comforting smell around her suddenly disappeared, bringing back some bad memories for Rosemary.

Last time... it seemed like it was the same. After saying goodbye to me, he disappeared and never came back...

Thinking of this, Rosemary clenched her hands, trying to find some sense of security from Talina, but the only response she got was her own body temperature.

Rosemary's sleepiness suddenly disappeared after she caught hold of nothing. Her light green eyes opened and she searched for Talina in the room.

Rhodes Island's dormitory was spacious, without too many items blocking the view, so Rosemary saw Talina standing by the door and preparing to leave.

There was no noise or crying. Rosemary simply lifted the quilt that Talina had covered her with and sat up from the bed barefoot.

The sound of Rosemary getting up was heard by Talina who was about to go out. She stopped pressing the door handle and sighed helplessly, preparing to coax Rosemary first.

But when she turned around, Rosemary did not jump out of bed and run to Talina as she expected, but sat quietly on the bed, looking at Talina with a dull look.

"Will you come back?"

With her hands on the edge of the bed, Rosemary dangled her legs and drooped her eyebrows, as if she hadn't woken up yet.

"what?"

Talina, who was about to walk back, suddenly stopped.

"Will you come to see me again?"

Rosemary opened her lips slightly and looked up at Talina. Talina was the only one in her light green eyes.

"What nonsense! Of course I..."

"You said the same thing last time."

Talina was about to answer, but Rosemary interrupted her: "When you left, you wore new clothes and left all the snacks to me..."

"I thought you would come back, but..."

"You didn't..."

Stopping her swinging legs, Rosemary jumped off the bed, stepped barefoot on the floor, and stumbled towards Talina.

He stumbled into Talina's arms and leaned his head on her.

Rosemary's thin body trembled continuously as she held onto Talina's hand.

With their fingers intertwined, Talina could only sense Rosemary's uneasy heart.

"Can you tell me? If I let go this time..."

"Are you going to disappear again...never show up in front of me again?"

"Should I keep looking for you until..."

"Next time..."

"Meet?"

Volume 5: Chapter 43: Companionship is the best promise

The separation a few years ago has been deeply engraved in Rosemary's heart. Even though she often forgets it, she has been suppressing herself in her heart.

Rosemary's repressed emotions could not be released, and she had no idea where her sadness and sorrow came from, so she could only wander alone.

It wasn't until she met Talina again and learned what the strange emotions that confused her every night were that she understood.

I just miss her.

I miss the girl who hugged me at night and racked her brains for my sleep. I miss...

The night she promised herself.

She originally thought it was just a normal short separation, but the facts told her otherwise.

The clueless farewell plunged Rosemary into deep despair, and the subsequent death of her brother dealt her a heavy blow.

At this point, she chose to forget...

As the only semi-successful product of the Loken Tank, an external Originium artifact certainly cannot cause Rosemary to lose her memory. At most, it will cause her memory to decline.

The so-called forgetting is just that she doesn't want to remember.

Not wanting to remember those promises and not wanting to face the departure of loved ones will eventually become a disease.

Now that I've finally gotten over the past and can finally accept a new life, the person I found told me...

She's leaving...

"Can't..."

Holding Talina's waist, Rosemary gradually increased the strength of her arms, keeping Talina firmly in place.

"You can't leave... Don't leave..."

A warm feeling appeared in her eye sockets. Rosemary blinked and clear liquid slid down from the corners of her eyes.

The tears fell on Talina's clothes, leaving a dark mark on them.

"I..."

With her hands on Rosemary's shoulders, Talina could clearly feel the reluctance and fear.

I am afraid that I will leave and never come back, just like I did a few years ago.

The words of comfort stopped on her lips, but Talina couldn't say them out loud, because she had indeed "broken her promise" last time, even though it was not her fault, but...

She did leave Rosemary there alone.

For Rosemary, who had already experienced separation, any words seemed too pale. No one believed her, not even herself.

Placing her hands on Rosemary's shoulders, Talina patted them gently twice.

"Go and rest."

"don't want..."

With her head buried in Talina's arms, Rosemary retorted softly, and that stubborn retort with a tearful tone once again hurt Talina's heart.

"Be good and rest. I will stay with you, always. When you wake up, I will definitely stay by your side."

Gently stroking Rosemary's hair, Talina comforted the insecure kitten in her arms.
