Chapter 21

"Alright."

The hospital's emergency room was packed.

With flu cases surging in winter, people even had to wait ages just to see a doctor.

After a moment's hesitation, Briony decided to call Stella.

Ten minutes later, Stella arrived, breathless from hurrying.

Hannah, seeing that Briony had a friend with her, didn't think much of it and obediently returned to the car.

Stella took Briony to see her colleague, Dr. Cedric Clarke.

Dr. Clarke was a talented young doctor and got along well with Stella.
