Chapter 492 Getting Closer

As the door was about to close, Rosie held the small bell and shook it without hesitation.

Elias suddenly stopped, experiencing dizziness as the door ahead blurred into multiple images.

He vigorously shook his head, attempting to clear his mind, but it only intensified his disorientation.

Persistently, the sound of the bell echoed in his ears, at a time near and far, as though beckoning his thoughts.

Elias slowly turned around and saw Rosie sitting innocently, seemingly unaware of anything.

“Eli, what’s wrong with you?” Rosie inquired.

“Did you… hear the bell ring?” he asked.

Rosie shook her head. “No, I don’t hear anything. Eli, are you experiencing auditory hallucinations?”

Elias fell silent, momentarily forgetting his intentions. He looked at the door before him and asked, “What was I about to do?”

“Oh, Eli, you mentioned wanting to urge the waiter to take our order. Don’t worry, they’ll be here soon. I’m not hungry. We can wait,” Rosie reassured him.

He completely forgot his intentions and returned to his seat, but something still felt amiss.

“Eli, are you okay?” She frowned and asked.

Elias replied indifferently, “Nothing, but I feel like there’s something else I need to do.”
