Chapter 84

Lucy’s heart ached with sympathy.

“It’s all right, Teresa. Ms. Winters is lovely–she won’t mind any of that. Try to relax a bit.”

Lucy reached out, intending to stroke the young girl’s head.

Due to chemotherapy, Teresa had lost all her hair and wore a fluffy pink beanie whenever she went out. Lucy knew this pink hat had been bought for her by Mark, and Teresa treasured it dearly.

Lucy felt a complex mixture of emotions, her eyes stinging slightly. Her outstretched hand hovered in midair before finally descending to gently touch the girl’s hat.

“Don’t worry, Teresa. Ms. Winters will definitely help with your brother’s case!”

“Thank you,” the young girl replied, her nervousness fading as she offered a bright smile. “Thank you so much, Lucy and Ms. Winters.”

As soon as Thalia entered, she was hit by the sour odor emanating from the patient in the bed nearest the door. The man clearly hadn’t bathed in days, and Thalia nearly gagged.

She wrinkled her nose, suppressing her discomfort as she followed Teresa further into the ward.

Mark lay in the bed furthest from the door.

The young man was propped up against his pillow, staring vacantly out the window at the falling autumn leaves.

“Brother,” Teresa called out brightly.

Mark immediately turned to look at her. “Teresa, you’re here. Have you eaten?”
