"He just left not long ago, actually. He's been keeping you company in the hospital all this time," Rose Liall lied to her daughter, afraid that she would be too sad.
In fact, David Benington hadn't been to the hospital since the day he brought Annie Lawrence there.
Rose had called him, and he simply said he was busy and would come when he had time.

The Benington Group was not far from the hospital; even if he took an hour to come, it was possible.
Did he not even have an hour to spare?
In the end, he just didn't want to come.
Rose speculated that it was related to the quarrel they had that day, but she couldn't ask questions now that Annie had woken up and had many doubts in her mind.
