[I remember that you know how to make bone broth. Make a pot today and bring it to Room 3511 at Wellness Hospital. It would be best to deliver it before one o'clock in the afternoon.]
Ella stared blankly at the message Danny had sent to her until the ward number caught her attention. She then froze for a moment.
She was in Room 3512, the last room on this floor. That meant the only room next to hers was 3511. So, the person the nurse mentioned visiting daily must be ...
The thought that she had been lying here for two days, while Danny hadn't come even once to see her but visited the patient next door, Sarah, every single day, sent waves of sharp pain rippling through her heart.
When she didn’t reply, Danny called.
He hadn't made a single call when he couldn't reach her days ago, yet now he was frantic about Sarah not getting her soup.
Enough was enough.
She immediately got out of bed and headed for the door.
In the ward net door, as Sarah looked at Danny peeling an apple for her, a plan began to form in her mind.
"Danny … my hand … it still hurts. Could you feed me?"
Danny paused and nodded.
Sarah immediately became happy and opened her mouth expectantly.
