Anna was worried that Nina would get killed if she refused to listen to Pierre. What would happen to them if she was gone?

Anna only felt assured after Jean guaranteed that Pierre would not do anything to Nina.

After Nina left the ward, she did not leave the hospital immediately. Instead, she sat in the hospital's garden, looking depressed.

When Johann passed by the garden after sending off a patient who just got discharged from the hospital, he happened to run into Nina who was sitting there. He walked toward her curiously and greeted her, “Ms. Nina, what a coincidence. What brings you here?"

"Oh, Dr. Park. What a coincidence," Nina greeted him gloomily.

Johann noticed that something was wrong and asked, “What's wrong? Why do you look down?"

"Nothing. Do I look down? It's probably because I didn't sleep well last night," replied Nina as she touched her face.

"It doesn't look like you didn't get enough rest. You seem preoccupied. Is it because of your mother's illness..." Johann asked. He had been busy these days. He had yet to have time to check on Anna's condition.

Nina shook her head and said, "My mother is doing fine. Nothing happened."

"Then." Johann continued to ask.

Nina lifted her head, glanced at the sky, and asked, "Dr. Park, aren't you busy?"

"I am. I have to perform another surgery in half an hour," Johann answered honestly. If he had not noticed her sitting alone here, he would have returned to his office.

After all, he and Nina knew each other. That was why he came over to ask about her wellbeing, hoping that he could lend a hand.

Nina smiled and said, "Hurry up and get ready, then."

There was nothing that Johann could do since she refused to tell him. He comforted her, saying, "If something is troubling you, talk to a friend and you'll feel better."
