Connor and Flora headed to the hospital together. As they walked into the ward, they happened to see Alyssa coming out, her eyes red and puffy from crying. "Ms. Flora," Alyssa said, quickly wiping away her tears when she saw Flora. "Has Shawn woken up?"

"He's awake now." Alyssa looked exhausted, having not slept all night. "Ms. Flora, it's good you're here. Can you please talk to him? He'll listen to you." Alyssa's voice caught in her throat as she finished speaking. Flora gave her a reassuring nod, then turned the doorknob and stepped inside the room. Connor waited quietly by the door. As a man, he understood that Shawn probably didn't want too many people to see him in his current state. Shawn had heard Flora's voice from outside and quickly straightened up. When Flora walked in, he forced a smile. "Flora, you're here."
