Adolpha pushed the hospital door open. She dashed to the hallway as quickly as she could. The moment she saw Mace, she broke down in tears again. Anton had told her to go and visit Simon if it would at least make her feel at ease. He had decided to stay back. Adolpha felt really sad about the news last night—she wasn't even aware that she slept in her brother's arms. When she woke up, she found herself on her bed, and Anton was seated on the couch watching over her. Perhaps he was scared that she might try to hurt herself again, so he stayed behind.
"How is he doing?" Her breathing was fast. Her eyes searched all around.
"Take it easy, Adolpha."
"I heard what happened to him. Is it true that he will never wake up again?"
"Come here." He pulled her in for a hug and said, "Simon will be fine. I promise." he breathed in.
As Adolpha released herself, she looked at him. "But?"
"But?" Mace shook his head. "Nothing more."
