The two nurses who walked past Stanley were astounded by his handsome features. Their immediate reaction was to clutch each other's hands, secretly screaming in excitement. However, Stanley did not give a fig about them.

"Stan, our baby girl was awfully bullied by the Sullivans. You ought to make Mary Sullivan pay the price!" Sharon could be heard bellowing in anger on the other end of the phone.

Stanley strode into the elevator and pressed the button to close the elevator doors under the attention and admiration of countless girls.

"Alright." Without hesitation, Georgie reached out for the wheelchair placed beside the door and carefully assisted her to sit on it.
