To Vivian's surprise, Rachel started to sob before she could even say anything to console her.
"Mom, don't cry! I'm fine! I'm not hurt! Don't worry!" she said frantically.
"Stop lying! You almost fell from a building, for goodness' sake! How are you now?" Rachel asked, still sniffling.
"I'm fine, Mom..."
It took a while, but Rachel finally calmed down enough to talk. "Take care of yourself and don't get hurt!" she said before hanging up.
Vivian put her phone away and looked up with a start when someone knocked on the door.
She got off the bed and opened the door, only to be shocked by the person standing behind it. Why is she here?
"How are you doing, Vivian?" Elaine asked with a worried expression.
"I'm fine. Why are you here?" Vivian asked, gesturing to the chair beside her bed.
She had not expected Elaine to visit her of all people, since they have only met once at the interview.
"I was so worried for you after reading the news! I'm just glad to see that you're doing well, that's all," Elaine said as he handed Vivian a bouquet of flowers.
"Thank you. It's beautiful," Vivian said. However, she could not help but wonder why Elaine picked a bouquet of Blue Enchantresses.
Don't people usually bring simpler flowers like lilies and daisies when visiting patients in a hospital?Why did she give me Blue Enchantresses?
Vivian shrugged. Maybe it's just a personal preference?
