……
麦蓝被她们的争吵吓懵了，茫然无措地干站着，直到一旁的索菲娅点点她的手：
“Did Charchar steal your things?\"”
麦蓝手忙脚乱地解释：“Well…actually I know nothing.”
听她们的吵架内容似乎是：夏洛蒂坚称自己没有偷麦蓝任何东西，完全不知道杰西卡在说什么；杰西卡认为夏洛蒂还在嘴硬，毕竟自己之前亲眼看见过她偷拿自己的首饰去变卖。
“Believe what you want, the truth is I\''ve never stolen anything from her, even though I... stole from you.”
说完这句，夏洛蒂推门进来，立刻更换上甜美的笑容。索菲娅却紧紧抿着嘴唇，说：“You steal from others, Charchar.”
夏洛蒂大概是没想到她偷听了谈话，笑容瞬间僵硬，不自然地摆摆手：“No I ‘m not …”
“Charchar did not steal from anyone,Sophia. They were just rehearsing for the play, because the school year is about to start and there\''s a big welcome show for new students. Jessica was rehearsing lines from the play with Charchar. If you\''re interested, I can tell you the story of the script.”
麦蓝面不改色心不跳地撒谎，索菲娅似乎是信了，刚刚脸上的阴翳消失不见，“A play？”
夏洛蒂赶紧点头：“Yeah.”
“I want to know the story.”
“If you take these pills,I will tell you.”夏洛蒂倒出瓶子里的药丸，笑着说，“A very very interesting story and I guarantee you will like it.”
索菲娅嘟嘟嘴，头闷进被窝里好一会儿，最后妥协了，乖乖咽下药丸，小脸五官扭曲成一团。
“Story, right now.”
“OK,well, here is the story…”
忽然病房天花板上的指示灯开始闪烁，伴随刺耳的鸣笛声和警告：
“EMERGENCY,EMERGENCY,
Time for treatment, time for treatment.
Leave the ward immediately, please.
Thank you for your cooperation.”
麦蓝还没弄清楚怎么一回事，就被杰西卡拽到一旁将口罩带好；夏洛蒂忽然站起身，扭头就离开病床；而索菲娅，在听见刺耳鸣笛声的那一刻起开始号啕大哭，四肢挣扎扭动，将身上的被子抖落在地。麦蓝此刻才发现：原来索菲娅一直都被铁束带捆在病床上。
索菲娅的肌肤在短短五秒内迅速苍白，眼白变成猩红，龇牙咧嘴在病床上扭动，发出呼哧呼哧的类似野兽般的喘息，伴随铁束带和床架哐哐作响，这完全不是一个五岁小女孩能做到的力气。随后突然有警卫破门而入，一个人调节按钮的机器，两个人按住她的四肢，还有一个人对她的脖子注射药剂，再过了几秒，索菲娅从狂暴状态中脱离，陷入昏迷。
整个过程只有不到半分钟，麦蓝的脑子完全没跟上眼睛。夏洛蒂此刻埋在杰西卡的肩头啜泣，随后她们三人被警卫送出病房。
听刚刚警告里的内容大概是说：病人需要接受治疗了，所有陪护人员需要立刻离开。
“Let’s go,Charlotte.”杰西卡轻轻抚了抚夏洛蒂的肩。
麦蓝跟着她们回到刚刚出电梯时的大厅，开始排队领取物资。夏洛蒂情绪很低落，一直坐在座椅上低头哭泣。不过哭泣的人不止她一个，整个大厅除了面无表情的人，就是低声哭泣的人。大厅里满是消毒水的味道，空气也不大新鲜，麦蓝忍不住将口罩微微提起，被杰西卡制止。
很快麦蓝就知道杰西卡的良苦用心。
她注意到队伍窗口处有一对父子，和麦蓝五官相似，应该也是东方国人。这对父子站在队伍前面
