Mateo glanced briefly at her before nodding.
"Of course. I'll let the Chief know."
Adrian looked toward the doorway.
"Is he coming?"
Mateo smiled.
"I'm sure he'll be here shortly."
After he left, Daniella adjusted the blanket around Adrian and helped him settle comfortably against the pillows. She was beginning to feel the effects of the day's events herself. Her body still felt weak, and the emotional strain of her argument with Santiago had left her with a headache.
She leaned back carefully, making sure Adrian had enough room beside her.
"Are you comfortable?" she asked.
He nodded.
"Yes, Auntie."
"Then try to rest a little."
Adrian closed his eyes, although he remained close enough to hold her hand.
