make mu know.

I open the door and give Gordon a weak smile. "Gordon, come in."

He steps inside, his expression serious yet hopeful. "Winona, I have permission here for you to go see Abby in the hospital."

Relief floods through me like a tidal wave. "Thank God." My phone buzzes in my pocket, and I glance at the screen.

It's Phillip. "Go right in, I have to take this call," I say, shutting the front door behind Gordon and walking back to the sitting room as I connect the call. "Phillip, how is she?" "She's awake.

"So, she's okay?" I ask, my heart pounding.

"The clot has been dissipated. Now we just need to get her stronger again, and she can come home."

"Gordon just got here. He says I can visit her. I don't know the details yet."

"Great news. Look, go talk to him. Call me when you know more."

"Thanks, Phillip. I will."
