He had never shared any of this with her.

All she knew was that he had brought Robin here for treatment. The facility was nice, the costs steep, but she wasn't on the hook for them.

She hadn't realized just how devoted he was to Robin's care.

"Robin, can you understand what I'm saying?" Eliza asked, trying to connect with Robin. "Do you know my name?"

Robin was silent for a moment. Then, he slowly said, "Eliza."

The man clumsily patted her back, "Sis, sis, don't cry."

"I won't cry," Eliza said, calming herself and wiping the tears from her eyes. She turned to the nurse, "If we keep up with the treatment, could he fully recover?"

The nurse, not being a doctor, hesitated to make a firm judgment. But it was clear he was getting better day by day.
