"Sigh..." Tiana let out a long breath, realizing that Maria truly didn’t have feelings for her brother.
She had hoped that Maria could become her sister-in-law. There was a sense of disappointment and regret, even if just a little.
Seeing Tiana’s frowning face, Maria said helplessly, "What’s this? Just because I can’t be your sister-in-law doesn’t mean we can’t still be friends, right?"
"Of course, we’re still friends!" Tiana responded immediately. "I just wanted to strengthen the bond between us. But if that’s not possible, it won’t affect our relationship!"
"Then stop sighing. I feel fine, and I don’t want to stay in the hospital anymore," Maria said.
Tiana nodded, "Then you should get another checkup. If everything’s clear, you can be discharged."
"Alright."
After another thorough examination, her recovery was going well, and the doctor recommended that she continue her rest at home. That afternoon, Maria completed the discharge procedures.
Herman didn’t show up. He had been scheduled for two blind dates—one in the morning and one in the afternoon—so he was quite busy.
Tiana handled all of Maria’s discharge arrangements.
Once home, Maria felt noticeably more relaxed.
"It’s always more comfortable being home," she remarked.
Tiana handed her a glass of warm water. "I’ve got some work to take care of at the office this afternoon, so I won’t stay with you. Rest well and call me if you need anything."
"Mm, okay." Maria nodded.
Tiana soon left, and the room fell into a peaceful quiet.
Maria sat on the couch, hugging a pillow close to her chest. Her mind couldn’t help but drift to the things Sidney had said.
A playful smile slowly appeared on her face.
