“It was my request." admitted Jack, clearing his throat. “On the first day we were admitted to the hospital, I woke up and asked Dr. Park not to let her in. I was worried she'd disturb you."

“Dear, you knew Leia had something to do with this on the first day, didn't you?" speculated Quennie.

“Yes." nodded Jack. “That's why I asked them to stop her from coming in. I was worried she'd continue to hurt you."

Queenie let out a long, deep sigh. “I understand. I'll leave this to you."

Jack and Luke exchanged glances with each other.

Queenie seemed to have dealt with it better than they had expected.

“I'm tired," said Queenie.

Luke nodded. He had told her everything and told her everything she should have known too.

“Have a good rest. We're leaving." Luke turned to look at Luca.

"Drive safe." Jack walked them to the wardroom door and watched them leave, only then did he turn around to look at Queenie, who was lost in her thoughts.

Queenie appeared to be calm in front of Luke and Luca before, but as her husband, Jack knew her well.

“I'm getting off work. Rest well," said Johann, leaving the room too.

After Johann left, Queenie turned to the caretaker, “You don't have to stay here tonight. Go back and rest."

“Mrs. Norman..." The caretaker hesitated.

“Bring me some peanut butter oatmeal tomorrow. The oatmeal in the hospital doesn't taste good," said Queenie to the caretaker.

“Sure. Mr. Norman, Mrs. Norman, rest well." The maid left the wardroom and closed the door.

There were only the two of them left in the wardroom.
