Millie’s gaze was a bit unfocused as she surveyed her surroundings, noting that the woman in the fisherman’s hat had vanished. What was her reason for knocking her out of consciousness?
“Look, your leg is hurt! You’re bleeding.”
Suddenly, the child’s eyes widened as he pointed to the visible area of Millie’s calf. With a hand clamped over his mouth, he looked truly astonished.

The woman refrained from further insistence.

After receiving a prescription from the doctor, Millie returned home.
However, an uneasy feeling lingered. Could it be that the woman had deliberately caused her to faint just to cut her leg?
