She whispered silent prayers for his recovery, her eyes never straying from his peaceful face.
After stime, she went to the bathroom in the ward.

Robin spent the night indulging in alcohol at the bar, stumbling has the first Light of dawn crept over the horizon.
Barely managing to stay upright, he staggered out of the elevator to his apartment floor, only to be greeted by the sound of Betseys fiery voice echoing down the hallway.
At his doorstep, three men in sharp suits were manhandling Betsey and Leona, attempting to force them away. Nearby, Lindsay sat in her wheelchair, her cheeks flushed with worry, looking utterly unsure of how to intervene Robins protective instincts kicked in instantly.
He stepped forward, brushing the mens hands aside with a firm shove and positioning himself like a human shield in front of Betsey.
Who are you? he barked, his voice sharp and laced with anger, his glare cutting through them like a blade.
One of the men, unfazed, replied in a flat tone, Were acting on Matthews orders to escort the Wheeler family back.
With Robin now in front of her, Betseys confidence flared.
Were not leaving! Even if Matthew has a lot of influence in Seamarsh, he doesnt have the right to kick us out of here! she snapped, her voice ringing with defiance.
The men didnt budge.
Were just following instructions, one of them retorted evenly.
Your cooperation would be appreciated.
Leona, her face flushed with righteous fury, Lashed out, saying, Matthews gone too far this time! Hes nothing but an arrogant bully.

Her tone was firm but edged with concern, as she knew his current state was a powder keg ready to explode. Robin, undeterred and brimming with bravado, shot back.
I dont fear Matthew.
If hes got the nerve, let him facehimself.
Ill take him on, one-on-one! His tone was sharp, his eyes blazing with defiance and challenge. Lindsay let out a heavy sigh, her shoulders sagging under the weight of the chaos.
She glanced around helplessly, unable to find an easy way to de-escalate the situation.
