An hour or so later, Summer Thorne arrived at the hospital where Laura Thorne was staying.
As she reached the door to the hospital room, she saw Quincy Shaw sitting by the bed, holding Laura Thorne's hand and whispering something to her.
Laura Thorne looked awful. Her lips were completely drained of color, and her expression was listless. Then, her gaze drifted toward the door—
The moment she saw Summer Thorne, she froze, then her eyes widened in shock. She almost shot up, but Quincy Shaw gently pressed her back down.
Quincy Shaw turned to look at Summer Thorne, who then slowly stepped inside.
Laura Thorne's eyes were red-rimmed. As if still in disbelief, she stared unblinkingly as Summer Thorne drew closer step by step. The moment Summer was beside the bed, Laura seized her hand. "Ava, you're okay… You're really okay…"
"Mm," Summer Thorne replied softly. "I'm okay."
