Violette woke up to the sound of a nurse talking beside her bed.
"... yes, that's what I heard. Mr. Lombardi has been at the hospital since this morning, but he doesn't know that his wife is being treated at the hospital. He is in a VIP room with a woman. I heard that he is at the hospital because his nephew is sick after falling. Mr. Lombardi even called in all the best doctors at the hospital just to treat a child who had only a scratch. "
" I feel so sorry for Mrs. Lombardi. While her husband was taking care of another woman's child, she was waiting for approval for her surgery, but Mr. Lombardi didn't answer her calls. In the end, the baby in her womb couldn't be saved."
"It turns out that the love story of Mrs. and Mr. Lombardi was just a fairy tale. I saw Mr. Lombardi treat a woman named Irene as if she were the apple of his eye."
"Shh, let's go. We can't talk about this. No one can know about Mrs. Lombardi's surgery."
"Yes, we have to leave before Mrs. Lombardi wakes up."
The nurses' voices finally faded away. They didn't notice Violette's clenched fist under the blanket.
She opened her eyes with a blank stare, then got out of bed and pulled the IV out of her hand.
