Jareth had spent just one night in the hospital.

Throughout that sleepless night, he was on the phone non–stop, taking calls, arranging press conferences, and reaching out to renowned psychiatrists and psychologists both domestic and abroad. He was desperate to secure the best possible care for his beloved.

Dean stood by helplessly, almost on the verge of tears.
