Alright. Tyrone moved a chair closer to the bed and took a seat.
Keilani found a spot on another chair nearby.
Together, they kept their eyes on Jennie.
The room was in silence for a stretch of time.
Suddenly, a ringtone shattered the quiet atmosphere.
Instinctively, Keilanis grip tightened, and she cast a worried look toward the sound.

Tyrone made his way to the window before answering the call, Whats going on?
Keilani felt a knot form in her stomach, her fingers crumpling the fabric of her dress.
I understand. Ill have my assistant get in touch with you later.
After ending the call, Tyrone slipped his phone back into his pocket.
Was that the police? Keilani asked, a wave of relief washing over her.
Tyrone gave a nod. Yes. Theyve reviewed the surveillance footage and found the cars license plate number.
Thats a relief. The driver needs to face consequences.
While they were talking, Keilanis phone began to ring. Her heart leaped. She stole a glance at Tyrone, who seemed preoccupied.
Without drawing his attention, Keilani checked her phone and then discreetly placed it back in her pocket, pretending it was just a meaningless notification. It seemed her act went unnoticed.
Keilani looked down, a subtle smile playing across her lips.
Over forty minutes had passed before Jennie finally woke up.

Tyrone, sitting by the beds edge, gently asked, Jennie, are you awake? How are you feeling?
Jennie Jennie blinked slowly, still groggy from sleep. The ache across her body suddenly brought back the memory of the car incident, and tears began to stream down her face. Tyrone, Im really scared. I got hit by a car
Tyrones heart ached for her, and in a soothing tone, he reassured her, Please dont cry. Everythings going to be alright. Im here with you, and the person responsible for the incident has been caught.
His tenderness was evident, causing Keilani to feel a pang of jealousy seeing how gently Tyrone treated Jennie.
Stepping closer, Keilani started to show her acting skills. Jennie, Im so sorry. This is all my fault. I should have looked after you better.
Upon hearing Keilanis voice, Jennie clutched at Tyrones clothes, fear evident in her tear-filled eyes. Tyrone, please, I dont want her here. Could you ask her to leave?
Keilanis expression fell at Jennies words. Instead of leaving, she approached Jennies bed from the other side, reaching out to hold Jennies hand. Please, Jennie, dont push me away. Im truly sorry. I promise to take better care of you.
