After dinner, they chatted in the ward amiably.
Hannah was delighted as this would be her last night in the hospital.
My bed, I'm coming!
This very night, Hannah had a restful slumber. Seeing her smiling in her dreams, Fabian felt a surge of happiness within.
The next morning, the sun crept up over the horizon and began to peek its glowing crown over the land. Hannah opened her eyes and stretched lazily. She was about to get up when she realized Fabian was nowhere to be seen.
Hannah wondered, Doesn't Fabian feel tired? He sleeps later and wakes up earlier than me every day. He also needs to work. I don't get it. Is he a
robot?
She shook her head and grinned to herself. "He doesn't understand how important sleep is. Well, that man has no idea how to enjoy life."
After washing up, Hannah packed her stuff up. Shortly after, Helen and Jason arrived in her ward.
"Eh? Where is Fabian?" Jason asked the moment he stepped in.
Hannah shook her head. "I don't know. He wasn't here when I woke up earlier."
"Let me help you pack up," offered Helen.
"I can do it myself. I'm not a patient anymore. It has been a torture to lie in bed for the past few days," replied Hannah with a smile. She appreciated Helen's concern, though.
Soon, Hannah finished packing up her stuff. They could leave when Fabian came back.
Right then, the door was pushed open. Thinking it was Fabian, Hannah raised her voice. "Hurry!
We're waiting for you!"
"Huh? Waiting for me?" Instead of Fabian's voice, a woman's voice rang out.
