Emelie wasn’t sure what they had been discussing earlier, but both of them suddenly tell silent.

She glanced at William and then shifted her gaze to Samuel, who was seated in the chair next to the bed. She tried to sit up, but with her left hand injured, she couldn’t support

Samuel promptly stood up, placing his hand on her shoulder naturally and adjusting a pillow behind her waist to make her more comfortable. His demeanor had softened, and he asked gently, “How are you feeling? Is it painful?”

Samuel responded, “The surgery went well. She’s still under anesthesia and hasn’t woken up yet. I’ve asked the nurse to monitor her closely in the room. I’ll be notified as soon as she wakes.”

Emelle frowned slightly. Samuel sensed that she wanted him to take care of Melanie instead of staying with her.
