Ivy opened her eyes and found herself on a bed and saw Robert next to her. "Robert. Robert! Why am I sleeping here? Where is Mom? What time is it?"
"It's nine. You were probably exhausted from watching over Mom and fell asleep next to her last night," Robert said. "So I booked another room for you to sleep in."
"Has Mom woken up?" Ivy sat up, feeling more energized after sleeping. As soon as she mentioned her mother, she was reminded of Eric and Layla. "What about Layla and Uncle Eric? How are they?"
"Layla has stabilized but hasn't woken up. As for Uncle Eric... he isn't dead but is still in critical condition. The hospital does not have the ability to treat him… so Hayden has arranged for him to be sent to Bridgedale, and he accompanied Uncle Eric. Uncle Eric saved Layla's life, after all, so I'm sure Hayden is desperately trying to help Uncle Eric as well..."
Ivy sighed a breath of relief, feeling glad that the two of them were alive.
"Mom woke up at seven this morning and went to check on Uncle Eric's medical report. She hasn't said a word about it since then... so I'm guessing that it's really bad." Robert sighed. "Are you hungry, Ivy? Let me buy you something to eat."
"Robert, I'm not hungry." Ivy wanted to see Layla. "Can you take me to Layla?"
"I will take you to grab some food anyway! I wouldn't want you to faint from starvation!" Robert grabbed her bag. "Layla hasn't woken up yet, and the doctor told us not to disturb her. Let's wait until she wakes up."
"Okay. We will go to see her when she wakes up, then."
"Sure."
"Where are Mom and Dad?" Ivy asked.
"They are waiting outside Layla's room, but Mom is really worried about Uncle Eric, so she wants to go to Bridgedale," Robert said. "Once Layla wakes up, Mom is probably going to Bridgedale."
"Okay. Robert, have you gotten any sleep?" Ivy glanced at Robert worriedly.
