"Don't worry, Emily. Even if the Riveras find out you're here, I won't let them come in here!" comforted Melinda.
Emily clasped Melinda's hand tightly. "Please… I beg of you, get me out of here."
"Emily, you're really in no condition to be discharged from the hospital. Plus, it's getting late. You have my word that I'll get Brian to transfer you to another hospital tomorrow, okay?"
Emily nodded tearfully. "Okay… Sorry for troubling your husband again…"
Melinda sighed in relief when she saw Emily finally calming down. "It's not trouble at all. Emily, you need to keep your mood so your injury can heal faster."
Emily laid back down weakly and stared at the ceiling silently.

Xante walked back to the VIP ward but did not go in. Instead, she sat on the corridor chair to think about something.
Sunny came out to find her after she did not come back from the restroom for a long time. He did not expect to run into her at the door.
"Xante, why are you sitting here? Why didn't you go in?" he asked after walking up to her.
Xante looked up at him. "I thought I should give your dad some time to rest."
Sunny pursed his lips as though trying to hold back his laugh. "Aww, you're so considerate. I'm so proud of you for caring about your future father-in-law so much."
Xante rolled her eyes and stood up. "I'm leaving now."
Sunny grabbed her wrist. "Wait! Let me give you a ride home."
Looking at her tenderly, Sunny wiped his lips, followed her out of the stairwell, and walked back to Maxwell's ward.

Sophia originally booked three air tickets for the day after tomorrow. She, Zachary, and Benjamin were supposed to go back to Molomia together until she learned she was restricted from leaving the country.
Zachary said he would take Benjamin back to Molomia. After weighing the pros and cons, Sophia nodded. Thus, she canceled her own ticket, leaving Zachary and Benjamin's.
She helped them pack their luggage in preparation for the flight the day after tomorrow. Zachary was in a good mood that night. He had a second helping for dinner and taught Benjamin how to play chess after that.
Sophia finished packing and came out of the room, only to find Zachary still playing chess with Benjamin in the living room.
