"Goodness…" Penny sat on the side of the bed, glancing at the IV injected into Zoren to stabilize him. She breathed out another heavy sigh, clasping his hand while bending over the side of the bed. Penny buried her face in his hand, her heart still racing from the anxiety she had just experienced.
The doctor had already congratulated her for her successful treatment and reassured her. However, despite the relief their kind words brought to her heart, the anxiety and fear she carried beforehand still lingered.
Allison also sat beside Penny, reaching out to rub her daughter's back. Her eyes softened as Penny turned her head, keeping the side of her head on top of the hand that was holding Zoren's.
"It did become okay, Mom," Penny whispered, and Allison nodded with a smile. "Thank you."
"Why are you thanking me?" Allison replied in a soft voice. "You don't have to thank me, though I'm glad that the treatment was working and Zoren is getting better."
