Given the current situation, Lauren decided not to spend the night in the hospital anymore.
"Mom, I think I should leave," she said to Sarah.
"But why dear? I thought you forgave Mom?"
Lauren took Sarah's hand in hers and stared straight into her eyes to reassure her and also convince her that she wasn't trying to deceive her. "Like I said before Mom, there's nothing to forgive."
"Then why are you leaving?" Sarah looked downcast. Has she given up on Steffan so soon?
"Steffan doesn't recognise me so there's no point in me staying. Knowing Steffan's character, he might not want me to do anything for him since I'm not a nurse or a doctor," Lauren explained patiently.
"I have thought over things and feel that it's best I stay away for now until he heals."
