I regained consciousness as a disembodied spirit hovering in midair.
Before I could glimpse my lifeless, bloodstained body, a strong breeze whisked me to where Ethan was.
Ethan and Sandy were seated on a bench in the hospital's emergency waiting room.
Sandy appeared frail, resting against Ethan's shoulder, her expression radiating contentment and joy.
Just then, Ethan's cell phone began to ring.
It was his mother, Jenny, calling.
"Hasn't Yolanda come home for your birthday celebration?
"I believe she's deliberately trying to upset me. I'm at the hospital with Sandy. Yolanda is being so unkind."
After ending the call, Ethan still seemed irritated, his face clouded with displeasure.
"Yolanda is too full of herself. She thinks her pregnancy gives her free rein. I won't go after her this time. She needs to learn a lesson."
Sandy's eyes glimmered with pride and happiness, but she maintained a caring demeanor, gently patting Ethan's back.
