It had been a few weeks since Janet came to see Hannah. She felt a little guilty about not being able to see her often. Ever since Janet started working, she had been dealing with unfortunate incidents that seemed to take all her time.

Hannah’s liver transplant surgery was scheduled for 10 o’clock today. Janet still had half an hour to talk with her.

“Don’t be nervous. You won’t feel any pain after they administer anesthesia.”

“Don’t worry about me. I’m not a child.” Janet couldn’t help but smile at her.
