Nyla responded gently, gripping Linda’s hand in a comforting gesture. “The doctors urge patience, my dear. We should consider it a miracle that he’s even conscious. His recovery will require time.”

She gave Linda’s hand a gentle pat, offering reassurance. “Ernest will pull through. You’ve endured so much these past few years, but finally, the hard times are behind you, aren’t they?”
