Before leaving, Anna called Gabe, wanting him to take care of Wayne for her while she was gone, “Gabe, the surgery went well and Wayne’s fine. He’s still in the ICU, but when he wakes up, he’ll be able to transfer to the regular ward.”

“W’m relieved that you’re here. Please come and visit us if you have some free time these days. We all miss you terribly.”
