I had gotten fed up with the hospital environment, and honestly, I saw no reason to remain there any longer. The doctors had already confirmed that Eva and the baby were fine. According to them, she could even be discharged anytime soon.
That should have been enough to ease my mind, but it didn't.
Instead, the longer I stayed beside her hospital bed pretending to be concerned, the more irritated I became. Every second felt suffocating. Every forced smile felt exhausting.
The only thing keeping me sane at that point were the thoughts running through my head.
Ella.
I leaned against the hospital corridor wall for a moment after stepping out of Eva's room, loosening my tie slightly as I shut my eyes briefly.
I kept imagining Ella's expression right now—she must have received the necklace already.
A faint smile spread across my lips at the thought of it.
