At the entrance to the Intensive Care Unit, Sallie was waiting. She watched as Herbert arrived, accompanied by a group of specialists. Even the hospital director personally came to greet them, leading the team to change into scrubs before entering the ICU.

Timothy's attending physician was there as well. Sallie hurried over to ask for an update.

Sallie glanced at Herbert, surprised-she had never expected him to gather so many experts for Timothy's sake.

She suddenly felt foolish for having been so suspicious of Herbert's relationship with Jessica. She'd let her jealousy cloud her judgment.

Turning to Herbert, she said quietly, "Thank you."

Herbert replied, "You don't need to thank me. I'm not doing this for you, or for Timothy, either."
