Rosa couldn't shake off the feeling that everything around her might just be an illusion. Joe had promised her that they would get married tomorrow.
After risking everything by attempting to jump from the building, she had finally achieved what she wanted.
"We're getting married tomorrow. Can we arrange for my discharge now? I'm perfectly fine. Let's go get our marriage certificate tomorrow."
She fixed her gaze on Joe, afraid he might change his mind.
Joe nodded and said, "Your current condition isn't stable enough for discharge. We need to wait for the doctor's evaluation."
Rosa's heart finally settled upon hearing his agreement.
She knew he was a man of his word. Once he promised something, he would follow through. "You love me, don't you? Seeing me about to jump—you were scared, weren't you? Afraid of losing me?" Rosa stared intensely at Joe, trying to confirm her thoughts.
If he didn't love her, he could have let her jump. Just as she had said, if she jumped, he would be free from the burden.
"Don't overthink it," Joe said in a deep voice.
At that moment, Joe's phone rang. He quickly answered, "What's up?"
As he spoke, he walked out of the ward and gave Rosa a glance, telling her to rest.
Rosa watched the door close, frustration simmering within her. The call could have come at any other time, yet it chose that exact moment to interrupt her. Anger surged within her as she thought about the timing.
Reaching for her phone tucked under her pillow, she found multiple notifications. There were messages from a reporter, Cecil Greene, long-lost friends, and even acquaintances she had met at various events.
