Over an hour passed, and after Cherise removed the final needle from Clara's back, Clara, looking exhausted, slowly closed her eyes.

Watching Clara fall asleep, Cherise exchanged a glance with Hank, signaling him to step outside.

A few seconds later, the two were standing face-to-face by the window outside the hospital room.

Hank spoke first. "As soon as you got back, you've already started thinking about a treatment plan, haven't you? Have you figured it out yet? If not, you wouldn't have inade a move so easily.

What we can do is give her hope and make her life as normal as anyone else's."
