"Roland?" Thomas was calling him from the end of the corridor.
Roland came back to his senses and turned around.
He left the door of Alvera's ward and walked towards him. "Mr. Earhart, what's up?"
Thomas looked at the door of Alvera's room, concerned, and said, "Andrina is awake and wants to see you. Can you go see her?"
Roland put his hands into his pockets and started to walk away.
He took a few steps, then looked back at Thomas as if he had thought of something.
"Mr. Earhart, did you adopt Alvera because she has the same blood type as Andrina?" he asked.
Thomas did not expect that Roland would ask this question.
He remained silent for a while before nodding. "Andrina wasn't sick at the time."
...
He sighed and continued, "Several relatives on Andrina's maternal grandmother's side passed away from a genetic liver condition, including her own brother. When Andrina was born, we were afraid that she would have the same condition, so we found Alvera and adopted her."
"Did Andrina know about this?"
"She didn't. She never knew."
Roland looked at the expression on Thomas' face and then turned around to see Andrina.
After being in ICU for ten days, Andrina was also transferred back to the general ward.
By that time, Alvera had already recovered well.
She could now walk on her own without any help.
When Andrina was sent back to the general ward, she was walking around in the corridor,.
Andrina was escorted back by her parents and Roland.
Before, she was sent down here by a nurse, all alone. Both scenarios contrasted sharply.
Roland saw her from afar.
Their eyes met, but her expression was indifferent.
She had not seen him since she was transferred back to the general ward.
She only looked at them briefly before going back into her private ward.
Suddenly, Luna called out to her. "Alvera."
Alvera gritted her teeth, stopped, and turned around with a faint smile.
"Alvera, it's all thanks to you that Andrina has recovered very well. She wants to invite you to dinner as thanks after she is discharged from the hospital," Luna said.
Alvera smiled and said, "We don't even know when Andrina will fully recover. Alvera's appreciation dinner would be meaningless if we wait for too long, so why don't Mr. Francois treat me in place of Andrina?"
Luna froze for a moment, looking at Alvera coldly.
