The two stared at each other for a short while, before it clicked in Adriana's mind that he had requested her to give him water. She was expected to hurry and fulfill the patient's request, but Adriana did no such thing.
For the first time in her life, she felt so confused and didn't know what to do exactly.
Even though she was extremely glad to see Aiden conscious, she knew she had to keep her distance, as he was fragile at the moment.
Nothing good would come out of Aiden going into a shock. Adriana actually reckoned that Aiden may be too shocked to see her, and also feel unease to receive anything from her. Moreover, she would feel the same way if she were in his shoes, so she wouldn't hold it against him.
Therefore, she took steps to leave the room and get Matilda to serve him the water he earlier requested.
