Melanie did not come out of the operation theater until two hours later, and she was not brought to the normal hospital ward. Instead, she was brought to the VICU where her condition would be monitored for the next 24 hours before she could be transferred to the usual ward.

A nurse was stationed by the bedside. Under Lucas' strict instructions and with Kevin and Patrick keeping an eye on things here, Gwendolyn, Lucy and Melanie were practically treated as VIPs in the hospital.
