"Don't leave..." Bernard pleaded as he reached for Hera's hand to stop her from leaving.

He was scared. He was afraid that she wouldn't come back to him again if she left this time.

Having just woken up, his face was as pale as a sheet, making anyone who set their eyes on him pity him instantly. Suppressing her sympathy for him, Hera wrang her hand free from his grasp and left the ward in a hurry. Instinctively, Bernard got up and tried to go after her, but pain and soreness spread from every inch of his body.
