Lorrand was left speechless, but he couldn’t help but nod, feeling a surge of excitement.

The drugs Lea introduced promised big dreams, yet now, she painted a picture even they hadn’t dareil to imagine.

Chatting along, they reached the end of the corridor where a door was ajar, and a small figure stumbled out, bumping into Lea and collapsing

She’d been working at the hospital forever and came out of retirement to help Lorrand with his daughter, knowing how busy he was as a surgeon.

Seeing Lea so composed and stern, Lorrand felt his heart skip a bear and suggested the nurse take a break.

“Miss Berry, I apologize. Anna is still working on her memory and recognizing faces,” he explained

Lea was holding the child close, sharing smiles with her as the warm sunset streamed through the window, casting a gentle glow.

When the child–called her mom,” he couldn’t bring himself to move forward, his gaze weighed down with fatigue.
