Elio noticed a presence other than his and looked at the entrance to see who it was. Even though he knew SilverCrest Hospital was very secure and would hardly ever have intruders barged into disturbing their patients, he was still overly conscious of his environment.
The Vermin Cartel under Jose's rule were brutal people who wouldn't mind plunging themselves into trouble even though it'd cost their lives, as long as they'd have what they sought in their hands.
You could imagine how soothing it was for him when he saw that it was Nurse Dahlia coming in for her ward round and peeping to be sure she was going to be faced with the same thing as yesterday.
He smiled.
Dahlia observed the room through the glass door and was glad that everywhere was clear. She breathed a sigh of relief, then tapped on the door to alert him of her presence before finding her way in.
"Good morning, Mr. Elio. Did you sleep well?"
