When Huston arrived, Evelyn had just finished receiving the first IV drip, and the nurse was replacing it with a new one.

Evelyn was still unconscious on the hospital bed, with Grace standing by her side. The emergency room was crowded, even in the early morning, and there was not a single vacant seat.

Huston’s gaze fell upon Evelyn’s pale face, and his feet felt as heavy as if they were laden with a thousand pounds. He wanted to walk over and check on her, but he couldn’t seem to move a step.

“Nurse, when will she wake up?” Grace anxiously asked, checking in on Evelyn every few minutes.

“She needs to bring down the fever. It hasn’t fully subsided yet. With such a high temperature of 42 degrees, it’s no wonder she’s delirious and sleeping,” the nurse replied.

“Alright, thank you,” Grace said, turning her head to express her gratitude to the nurse. In the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the tall figure standing behind her.
