The Wrong Woman

Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."

The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.

Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.

Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest."

"General Morrison, I..." Gregory's voice faltered in distress.

Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.

Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."

Mila came closer and leaned against Nathan's side. She said softly, "Gregory, Carol, you can call me Wanda."

Carol's face turned red, not out of shyness but embarrassment.
