After the doors were opened, Jackson was the first to come out.
Joyce rushed toward him and grabbed his hand. “Doctor, how is Stanley?”
Jackson was taken aback by her impassioned reaction. Just as he was about to ask who she was, he saw Shane and Natalie behind her. Immediately, he understood that she was Natalie’s friend, so he gently removed his hand from her grip and replied, “Don’t worry. He’s fine. All he has is a few broken ribs and a concussion. He will recover with one or two months of recuperation.”
“I see!” Joyce placed her hands on her chest and smiled.
Natalie came up to her and patted her shoulder. “That’s wonderful, Joyce. It seems that Stanley is doing fine.”
“Yeah.” Joyce rested her head on Natalie’s chest and shed tears of joy.
Natalie gently patted her back to comfort her.
Meanwhile, Shane witnessed the scene expressionlessly. His gaze darkened the moment he saw the spot Joyce buried her face in. An invisible storm brewed in the atmosphere.
When Jackson noticed that, he raised a smirk and had a strong urge to tease that man.
“Shane, I can’t believe that you would get jealous over a woman,” Jackson murmured into his ear.
Without a word, Shane elbowed him in the ribcage.
Jackson groaned and bent down from the pain while covering the sore spot.
Hearing his cries of agony, Natalie and Joyce turned to him.
“Dr. Baker, what happened?” Natalie asked curiously.
Noticing Shane’s grim expression, Jackson put on a forced smile. “It’s nothing. I have a stomach ache, so I’ll take my leave now. Dr. Quinn will be transferred to a normal ward soon. You can visit him in no time.”
“Okay. Thanks for the heads up, Dr. Baker.” Joyce nodded in gratitude.
Jackson waved his hand. Then he shot Shane a provocative glance before he left.
Just like what Jackson said, around ten minutes later, Stanley was pushed out and transferred to a normal ward.
After entering the ward, Joyce stayed by Stanley’s bed, holding his hand without moving an inch. Her gaze, as she looked at him, was full of affection and concern.
