long.”
Flossie shook her head and replied, “I really can’t stay for an extended period. I’ve brought some tonics for Miley. Could you help me deliver them to her?”
Reluctantly, Stella abandoned her idea of accompanying Flossie upstairs and inquired, “When do you plan to return to work?”
As Flossie hurried away, she turned back and reassured, “We’ll meet soon.”
Observing her hurried departure, Stella sighed and turned to the nurse to collect the tonics before making her way upstairs to find Miley.
The ward’s door was slightly ajar, and as Stella approached, she heard soft sobbing from inside.

She hurriedly pushed the door open and found Miley discreetly wiping away her tears by the bedside.
Placing the tonics on the table, Stella took Miley’s hand and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?”
Miley shook her head, her sadness stemming from recent events.
With teary eyes, she gazed at Stella and confessed, “Stella, I want to leave the hospital and go home.”
Stella paused, unable to deny Miley’s heartfelt plea when she saw the distress in her eyes.
She nodded, saying, “I’ll consult the doctor first. If everything checks out, I’ll take you home.”
In a subdued tone, Miley agreed and settled on the bed, allowing the doctor to examine her.
Her thoughts lingered on the moment when Neville had saved her.
Reflecting on it now, she couldn’t help but feel that those sweet moments had been fleeting, like a mere flash in the pan.
Neville’s ward was eerily quiet.
Hurley and Amya sat on the sofa, their eyes fixed on Neville’s unmoving form. Susie, perched on the edge of his bed, gazed intently at him.

Time crawled by, but Neville showed no signs of waking up. Finally, Hurley and Amya, unable to bear the tension, stirred. “We’ll grab some supplies for Neville,” Amya offered. “Susie, anything you need?”
“No.” Susie shook her head, her eyes still locked on Neville.
Hurley and Amya were burdened by the weight of Neville’s actions.
They felt embarrassed and didn’t know how to face Susie. They slipped out without another word.
Alone with Neville, Susie whispered, “Please wake up, Neville.”
His eyelids fluttered, as if emerging from a dream. “Miley…” he murmured, then blinked open his eyes.
The joy that bloomed at his awakening shivered down instantly as he called Miley’s name. “How are you feeling?” she asked, her voice tight.
