"How is your dad?" Alex asked her, meeting Dani outside of her father's room.
He opted not to enter the room, not wanting to disturb the patient and her mother, who was probably resting by now. He would have come earlier, but Dani insisted that he pushed through with his meeting.
The meeting, as expected, took longer than he wanted, but he could not leave without finishing it unless there was an emergency. Besides, Dani would not want him to neglect his obligation to his company.
"He woke up earlier. A little disoriented but lucid and stable." They both sat on a couch in a waiting area on the same floor, near the elevators.
Dani felt there was no use for both of them to waste their time just sitting around the hospital room, waiting for her father to recover. If anything changed, the doctors assured her that they would inform her immediately.
