~ Michael's POV
I had just finished my rounds for the day. My legs were tired, and my back ached a little, but something kept me from heading to my office. I looked at the hallway ahead and found my eyes drifting toward Room 204, Mia's room.
Without thinking too much, I started walking there.
As I approached, I noticed the door was slightly open. Bella, stepped out just then.
"Bella," I greeted her gently.
She looked up and gave a tired smile. "Doctor Michael."
"Heading out?" I asked.
She nodded. "Yeah. I've been with her all morning. I need to return to sort some things out."
"Alright. I'll check in on her," I said.
Bella smiled more genuinely this time. "Thanks. I trust you with her, Michael. Please take care of her."
I nodded. "I will."
After she left, I pushed the door open and stepped inside.
Mia was sitting up in bed, and a nurse stood by her, checking her vitals.
"Good afternoon," I said softly, stepping closer.
