Briony carefully settled her daughter onto the hospital bed and raised the guardrail.

James left to fetch some essentials from home.

This hospital stay would last at least four or five days.

Now, only Briony and Little Nina remained in the room.

Blair waited outside, his watchful eyes glancing at the closed door.
