Evadne didn't waste a second, rushing to the hospital with Jason by her side.

On the way, Jason couldn't help but notice how pale she looked. His voice was filled with concern as he said, "Miss Evadne, you should really take a break. Your own health isn't fully recovered yet, and running around all night is going to take its toll on you!"
