Larissa had slept the entire afternoon. So, she didn't feel the slightest bit tired now.
Moreover, she had something on her mind.
She preferred to go to the hospital and be by Wendy's side. She did not want to toss and turn in bed.
"She might wake up during the night. I want her to open her eyes and see a familiar face beside her."
She had been hospitalized on numerous occasions; she understood all too well the loneliness of lying in a hospital bed with no family or friends around.
She thought of all the recent stress Wendy had been through. She was worried Wendy might gradually crumble in the overwhelming solitude.
Kevan realized he couldn't sway her, so he didn't push the issue. "Okay. Finish up your meal first."
She hadn't eaten dinner and had only nibbled on some chicken in the afternoon.
Since she might spend the night at the hospital, he was concerned about her well-being.
"Alright."
Larissa exerted considerable effort to force down the food he had brought back.
Thankfully, the burger had become inedible after falling on the ground.
Or else she wouldn't have been able to finish it.
…
The hospital Wendy was in happened to be the one Larissa regularly visited.
It was conveniently close to Larissa's apartment.
Wendy occupied a private room. There was a fold-out bed set up near Wendy's bed for the caretaker.
At this moment, the caretaker was already asleep.
As the caretaker heard the sound of the door opening, she woke up all alert.
