Love Unspoken

As the nurse's grumblings faded into the sterile hospital air, Quinn's breath hitched in her throat. She slowed her hurried pace, her gaze landing on the bed where the nurse was still attempting to reach Ariel, whose number seemed to be perpetually blocked.

Quinn's eyes shifted to the frail figure on the bed, a pang of confusion and concern washing over her. The woman looked older, her age etched into her features more prominently than Quinn remembered.

The elderly woman's eyes were shut tight, her face a mask of tranquility. Quinn couldn't discern whether she was unconscious or simply asleep.

With a gentle tug, Quinn caught the nurse's attention. The nurse swiveled around, her eyes scanning Quinn as she asked, "Are you a family member of Juliet's?"

Quinn's gaze lingered on the woman in the bed before she gave a slight nod in confirmation.

The nurse's expression softened, her professional demeanor easing slightly. "Good, now that you're here, can you make a decision about her treatment?"

Quinn nodded eagerly, her resolve unwavering.

A furrow appeared on the nurse's brow. "Then take care of the payment, please. She needs an infusion. If you decide against treatment, you should arrange to take her home as soon as possible. We're running out of beds here." Quinn quickly retrieved her mobile phone, typing a message to the doctor: [I'll handle the payment immediately, but please start her treatment for now.]

The nurse seemed taken aback by Quinn's inability to speak, but quickly regained her professional composure. "Once you've paid, just bring the receipt to the doctor."
