While Hailey and Jim were talking, Dr. Erwin, one of the trusted member of the research team who was summoned to come over, walked in towards them. He had been watching their exchanges and was so emotionally moved.
"Dr. Hailey, it's not the right time yet to go back to the lab. Dr. Jim needs you more now that he is awake. So, I will be going back ahead. "
He moved forward and tapped Jim's shoulder. "I'm so happy for you, Dr. Jim, get well very soon. "
Then, he looked back at Hailey.
"Dr. Hailey, wishing you both the best. Just call me again if you need me. "
Feeling guilty for his effort to travel all the way from Palawan, she apologized.
"I understand. He needs you more. " He, then, smiled and winked at her before he left.
Being left alone with each other, Hailey turned her attention to Jim.
"Dr. Jim, let's focus now on your physical rehabilitation since you are now in a deconditioning
process." She suggested with excitement.
