Having her worst fear confirmed, Pamela started to become hysterical. She threw off her blanket and got down from the bed, despite Greg and Francine stopping her.
"If you two won't tell me, I'll go ask the doctor myself!"
Greg tried to get a hold of her, but there was not much he could do while being wheelchair-bound. Thus, he quickly ordered, "Francine, get your Grandma back here! She cannot find out the truth. The doctor said she'll have another heart attack if she gets triggered again!"
Francine quickly chased after her grandmother, who did not even bother to put on her shoes before she ran out of the hospital ward.
Francine managed to catch up to her. With the help of their servants, they carried Pamela back to the hospital ward, despite the old woman's protest.
Corinne's death had become an irreversible fact, so the only thing they could do was to make sure Pamela did not suffer any ill effects.
Greg immediately called for a doctor to give Pamela a shot of sedative once she was back in the ward. This way, she would be too out of it to worry about Corinne.
Back at the surgery room's waiting area…
Anya tried to comfort Jeremy, but he simply ignored her. He did not even move when she pulled or touched him. It was as if his soul had left his body.
Anya looked up at Rosie. They began a silent exchange of words using their eyes. Rosie hoped Anya would understand her and go talk to Lucas for her sake. However, to her surprise, what she got in the end was a slap from Anya.
Slap!
This was the second time in the day Rosie was slapped, and it hurt more this time.
She looked at her best friend in total disbelief. "Anya! Why did you slap me?"
