Forbidden Passion

Chapter 346 Mia, Don't Cry!

Phoebe stayed outside the ICU until after 4 a.m. when a night-shift nurse found her and sent her back to her room. She lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. As dawn broke, a nurse came in to give her the day's IV drip. Phoebe quickly asked, "Nurse, how's the patient in the ICU downstairs?"

The nurse asked, "Which patient?"

"The tall, handsome one who came in with me," Phoebe said, gesturing to indicate Theodore's height.

The nurse laughed. "Seems you really like that guy."

Phoebe blushed. "How is he today? Is he better? When can he leave the ICU?"

While adjusting the IV drip, the nurse smiled. "I heard he's awake. The doctor is examining him, and if everything's fine, he can leave the ICU." "Can I go see him?" Phoebe asked.

"Wait a bit. Finish your IV first," the nurse said.

Phoebe looked at the two large bottles of fluid, worried. "How long will this take? Can you speed it up a bit?"

The nurse chuckled. "Don't worry. What's meant for you will always be yours."

Phoebe fell silent, feeling anxious. Her heart was in the ICU, but her body had to stay in the room, numbly accepting the cold fluid entering her veins.

Two and a half hours later, she finally finished the IV and was eager to get out of bed.
