As Hank had said, it was clear upon entering that this was indeed a small hospital. Compared to the medical environments in many places in Clusia, this one was much more basic.

There were several small rooms, with a reception desk, consultation rooms, examination rooms, a pharmacy… the space was limited. After all, Astamia’s economic conditions were restricted.

Lucy, who had been walking ahead, stopped as they neared the stairs. “Cherise, your mother is upstairs. The stairs are a bit narrow, so please follow me.”

“Okay,” Cherise replied softly. She followed Lucy carefully, step by step.

It was evident that the person living here was someone who loved life.

At a glance, it looked like a typical three–bedroom, two–living–room apartment. However, one of the rooms was separated by a large white glass door.

From inside, the unmistakable sound of medical equipment beeping could be heard, along with the strong scent of disinfectants and various medications.
