The doctor and Marcus Moore walked out of the hospital ward one after the other, closing the door behind them.
Elena Finnegan leaned against the headboard, took out her phone, and dialed a number.
The phone rang for a long time...

Her heartbeat sped up, as if she were very worried.
It was just about to hang up automatically when it was finally answered.

As if still not fully awake.
Elena took a deep breath of relief, fearing she had gone out to play in the snow.
