Gary’s lips were dry, and he didn’t speak, but he gave Samantha a weak nod.

Stephanie stood quietly by the side, watching. As her gaze drifted to the hospital bed, a wave of guilt and worry washed over her, making her quickly look away.

Diana gently nudged Stephanie forward. She took a big step and met Gary’s gaze. At that moment, she was at a loss, her eyes wide.
