Ronald opened the door, walked into the ward, and said to Samantha before he could even catch his own breath, "Mr. Barker is awake!"
Samantha's mind went blank for a moment then the dim glow in her eyes lit up slightly.
Timothy would be fine as long as he woke up.
"I… I'll go over and check on him," she said, then lifted the blanket and prepared to get down from the bed. A moment of carelessness caused her to pull on the wound and she groaned as a result.
Rochelle shook her head as soon as she saw that. "Why the rush? It's not like he can run anywhere!"
She nevertheless stretched out her hand and helped Samantha to get down.
Samantha smiled at her and offered, "Do you want to go and see Timothy together with me?"
"I'd better not." Rochelle refused outrightly. "Timothy might've done good this time, but his name is still on my blacklist. I'll give him a chance to treat me to a meal if and when he becomes a dutiful and responsible husband."
