"Hmm, you must be tired, William Hawkins. Go back and rest, I'll stay here." Joyce Lopez was pleased that it was just William Hawkins in the room. If the old lady was here, she might not even be able to get through the door.
"No need, I'll leave when my brother wakes up." William Hawkins refused. This was a mission entrusted to him by his grandmother, and he had to stay until Bryan Cooper woke up.
"Don't you trust me? Look at you, you haven't changed your clothes all night, and they're all wrinkled. Go change and take a shower, it won't take long to go back and forth. When Granny Hawkins and the others arrive, you'll definitely be back. If your brother wakes up, I'll call you. Is that okay?" Joyce Lopez tried to persuade him.
"...Alright, then I'll go change my clothes and take a shower. You watch him for me while I'm gone." William Hawkins was convinced. He did want to go back for a bit, but he hadn't expected that it would be Joyce Lopez who would come to replace him.
