Gary woke up feeling weak, lying on the sterile white hospital bed. His face, already ciched with wrinkles, looked even more worn, with a gray stubble shadowing his jaw.

He seemed very tired and lacking energy

“Gary, you have to get better, you hear me? This whole thing scared me half to death. We goita take care of ourselves.”

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.
