Maria fell into a momentary silence, her eyes searching Charlie's face with a mixture of gratitude and solemnity. Finally, she nodded lightly and spoke with earnestness, "Charlie, I can't thank you enough..."
Charlie couldn't help but exhale a sigh of relief as he watched Maria accept the elixir. He believed he could do so much for her. Although he possessed a Rejuvenation Pill now, he couldn't bring himself to give it to Maria, knowing that she had experienced so much in life. Instead, he opted to offer her three quarters of the enhanced Life Saving Pill as a guarantee.
As the evening wore on, Charlie stood up and addressed the two girls, "Well, now that Cathy is alright, I should head back."
Claudia's reluctance was palpable as she spoke up, unable to contain herself, "Charlie, you've been standing here for a while. Why don't you sit down for a bit? I'll get you a glass of water!"
Charlie smiled gently and declined, "No need, Claudia. This is a girl's dormitory and as an older gentleman, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to linger for too long. If I wait a little longer, I'm sure the dormitory auntie will come up and chase me away."
