"By the way, Mr. Zimmer's phone rang a few times but he didn’t answer it. I'm not sure if it’s his family. Maybe he didn't answer it because he didn't want them to worry."
I nodded. "It should be his family."
Laney did not say anything else and left the ward.
I sat down on the chair by the hospital bed and took out my phone from my pocket to take a look. There were no unread messages. I could not say for sure if I was more sad or disappointed. In any case, it was not a good feeling.
When I woke up the next morning, Laney
entered the ward.
She noticed my pale complexion and said a few words of concern before going downstairs to get breakfast.
It would be strange if my complexion was good. It was not that the escort bed was uncomfortable but I could not get used to it.
I woke up several times in the middle of the night. Coupled with my cramps, I had a pretty rough night.
Matthew was surprised to see me when he woke up. "When did you arrive?”
I smiled. "Last night.”
He noticed my dark eye circles and gently sighed. "You didn't sleep well last night?”
