Pale and trembling, Kate lay on the hospital bed, her eyes slowly opening as if emerging from a deep slumber. Subconsciously, she sat up, her gaze searching for Eric.

Hendrick, quick to her side, gently supported Kate and murmured, “Kate, take it easy. Eric is right beside you in the hospital bed. There’s no imminent danger to his life.”
