The latter was reading a book in her bed. She looked up the moment she heard her voice. “Oh, it’s Ms. Smith. Come on in.”

Natalie walked in with a smile at that.

“Have a seat,” Jacqueline told her while pointing at the chair beside her bed.

The former pulled up the chair and replied, “Thanks.”

After closing the book and putting it by her bedside, Jacqueline asked, “Why are you here, Ms. Smith?”

Natalie’s eyes flickered before she replied, “I’m here to visit Stanley but he wasn’t in his consultation room. I thought he would be here so I came to take a look.”
