Three hours later, the doctors came into Emily’s room. Although taken aback to find David there, he wasn’t entirely surprised. He had noted the depth of David’s love for his wife during their earlier conversation. Hence, he conceded to David’s stay with Emily.
The doctor was there to present Emily with her test results and discuss the surgical procedure. He gently roused her, and upon waking, Emily was visibly elated to find David by her side. She managed to squeeze his hand and offer a smile, even though her weakness was apparent. She was still very much in recovery.
