"Here are your things, Dr. Treit. If you need anything else, don't hesitate to call us," the nurse said.

"Treit!" Sophia shouted, snapping Sheila out of her thoughts.
"Sorry, Sophia. I didn't see you," Sheila said with a small chuckle.
Sophia, despite being a bit annoyed at being ignored for several seconds, calmed down upon seeing Treit's condition, but her anger returned as she remembered all of Matt's lies.
