"After dinner, Charlotte Thompson initially only planned for Olivia Thompson to visit Annie Anne alone, but in the end, all the kids wanted to visit their godmother. Unable to deny the children, Charlotte led them all to the visit.
When Charlotte entered the ward, Annie happened to be sitting by the window.
She was somewhat surprised to see the children and a smile crept up on her lips.
Charlotte swept her gaze across the room, noting fresh lilies placed by the bedside. However, even the strongest scent of the flowers could not mask the smell of the disinfectant.
"You look much better."
Charlotte walked to Annie's side, placed her hand on her shoulder, and the first thing she felt was Annie's lean shoulder bones.
"The doctor said I could be discharged after another week."
Annie stood up. She pushed open the window in front of her. The sky outside had darkened, and the air carried a hint of dampness, indicating rain was coming.
