Frederick Richardson's bone marrow transplant surgery was on the fifth day, and for these five days, Frederick had been staying in the Intensive Care Unit while Jaylene had been staying in a separate ward alone. She wasn't allowed to enter the Intensive Care Unit's sterile room, and she didn't intend to visit Frederick either.
In City G Hospital, she didn't know anyone, not even Vivian Santos, Frederick's nurse. Instead, it was Auntie Eloise, a servant of Frederick's family, who had come with her.
During these five days, Jaylene had mostly stayed in her ward, only going to the dining hall in the rear garden for breakfast in the morning when the air was fresh.
As for her and Joseph Thompson, they usually talked on the phone at night, exchanging pleasantries and sweet words with each other for a while.
Perhaps they were calling each other every night recently, Joseph had become quite smooth talker, like honey poured down his throat, and his sweet words seemed endless.
