Colin felt terrible seeing her like this. He gritted his teeth, trying to stay quiet, but still reached out to wipe the sweat from Flossie’s forehead.
Seeing this, the doctor commented with a smile, “Your husband is really thoughtful.”
Flossie was in so much pain she couldn’t hear the doctor’s instructions.
When Colin heard “husband,” he frowned slightly. He didn’t speak, just said, “That’s my duty.”

Flossie lowered her head, a reluctant reply escaping her lips. “I understand.”
As she spoke, the door to the room swung open.

Miley immediately spotted the bandage on Flossie’s arm. Her voice choked with emotion. “After all your hard work for a comeback, why did this happen? Why did you have to suffer?”
Flossie furrowed her brow. The runway incident replayed in her mind.
