Ethan was called several times before he finally snapped out of his daze,

“We’ll still need to find a way to bring Rianne and Eddie back. You know it too. Lilian’s body can’t handle the current treatment plan. It’s just too painful. She can’t bear it!” The moment Susan mentioned Lilian’s suffering, her voice trembled, choked with tears.

Ethan could only nod. “I understand. I’ll go check on Lilian first.”

“Alright, go ahead.” Susan nodded as well, her brows furrowed with irrepressible worry.

Ethan turned and began walking toward the hospital room.
