Jacob tugged her sleeves and dragged her out of the ward.

“Will everything be alright?” She lifted her head to look at the door of the tightly shut. ward.

“Dr. Caldwell, perhaps you can take a look inside?”

She was immensely worried. Mary had just recovered from her illness, while Damien was a blind and

disabled man. What could they have been talking about for so long?
