Overwhelmed with emotion, her mother was at a loss for how to console her daughter.
She could only press the call button by the bed to summon a doctor.
"Samantha, don't get too worked up.
Focus on recovering first.
Once you're better, Mom will go with you to find Drake.
You're his fiancée, and I'll make sure to speak with Madam Drake so you two can get engaged and married as soon as possible."
At her mother's words, Samantha only cried harder.
She threw her arms around her mother burying her face in her shoulder until her eyes were nearly swollen from tears.
The doctor arrived quickly.
Seeing the patient and her family in such distress was nothing new to him.
Clearing his throat, he offered a gentle reminder in a low voice, "Don't grieve too much.
The most important thing right now is to focus on recovery.
Nothing matters more than your health."
Samantha lifted her head at the doctor's entrance, tear tracks still glistening at the corners of her eyes.
