Flossie shook her head and replied, âI really canât stay for an extended period.
Iâve brought some tonics for Miley.
Could you help me deliver them to her?â
Reluctantly, Stella abandoned her idea of accompanying Flossie upstairs and inquired, âWhen do you plan to return to work?â
As Flossie hurried away, she turned back and reassured, âWeâll meet soon.
â
Observing her hurried departure, Stella sighed and turned to the nurse to collect the tonics before making her way upstairs to find Miley.
The wardâs 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 Mileyâs hand and asked, âWhatâs wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?â
Miley shook her head, her sadness stemming from recent events.
With teary eyes, she gazed at Stella and confessed, âStella, I want to leave the hospital and go home.
â
Stella paused, unable to deny Mileyâs heartfelt plea when she saw the distress in her eyes.
She nodded, saying, âIâll consult the doctor first.
If everything checks out, Iâll take you home.
â
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 couldnât help but feel that those sweet moments had been fleeting, like a mere flash in the pan.
Nevilleâs ward was eerily quiet.
Hurley and Amya sat on the sofa, their eyes fixed on Nevilleâs 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.
âWeâll grab some supplies for Neville,â Amya offered.
âSusie, anything you need?â
âNo.
â Susie shook her head, her eyes still locked on Neville.
Hurley and Amya were burdened by the weight of Nevilleâs actions.
They felt embarrassed and didnât know how to face Susie.
They slipped out without another word.
Alone with Neville, Susie whispered, âPlease wake up, Neville.
â
His eyelids fluttered, as if emerging from a dream.
âMileyâ¦â he murmured, then blinked open his eyes.
The joy that bloomed at his awakening shivered down instantly as he called Mileyâs name.
âHow are you feeling?â she asked, her voice tight.
