Ted looks at Nova's determination and sighs with defeat as he says "Let me help, but I'm warning you now, something VERY BAD could happen. Can you not wait a few days?" I shake my head no as I say "I need to go back as quickly as possible."
I then turn to look at Guozhi as I say "You can stay for a few more days if you want. I have no idea what's gonna happen." Guozhi looks at me with confusion but he still shakes his head and says "No matter what, I'm going back with you."
I nod my head and instantly regret it. The room spins as I reach out to steady myself. Guozhi quickly grabs me and steadies me as he asks "Are you sure you're okay? Are you sick or did you hit your head?" He lifts a hand to my forehead as Ted watches with concern.
