Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

"Where the heck is security?! Stop them-"

In the midst of the chaos, Maisie dropped all pretenses, yanking at her voice to shout-

"Where's Beverley? Who's Beverley? I'm looking for Beverley, tell her to show her face!"

Maisie and her son Farley had arrived in Lumina City two days prior, immediately visiting Millie, who was still hospitalized, and then...

They decided to just stay in the hospital room.

Maisie scoffed, "Why waste money on a hotel? This hospital room is spacious and bright, and best of all, it's free!"

"But there's only one bed. You and Farley..."

"What's the big deal? Since when do a mother and son care about that?"

Farley, just done with lunch, picking his teeth, nodded in agreement, "Exactly! Mom and I often share a bed at home too. We only need to run one air conditioner, saves money." Despite the hospital staff's efforts to persuade them otherwise, Maisie and Farley made the hospital room their home.

According to hospital regulations, VIP rooms came with extra beds for family members, so the hospital didn't make a fuss.

After all, the bill was being paid. Millie could stay as long as she wanted, let alone an extra bed for a family member.
