In the hospital corridor, the sound of heavy, urgent footsteps grew louder. Damien Sterling forcefully pushed open the door to Brianna Baker's room. "Aunt Brianna!" he called out.
"Aunt Brianna! How are you feeling?" Damien watched over Brianna with a gaze that was gentle and warm, a stark contrast to the usual cold and ruthless Mr. Sterling. In that moment, he was just a big kid, anxious and concerned for his family member.
"I'm okay..." Brianna Baker smiled warmly at Damien.
"Brianna Baker's family, please step outside for a moment," the doctor requested.
"Damien, dear, stay with my mom, I'll be right back," said Ryan Garcia, getting up.
Damien nodded and took Ryan's place by Brianna's side.
Outside the room.
"Doctor, how is my mother doing?"
