NIGHT OF ANNYVERSARY (2)

Ian made sure Zia had fallen asleep after taking her medicine. He had already told Diego that he had business he couldn't leave unattended and couldn't stay with Zia all night.

Diego understood and thanked Ian for being willing to accompany his daughter while he was not around, of course he used words that were a little stern and didn't sound like a thank you, but Ian understood him.

After a few days of getting to know Diego, the man wasn't that hard to understand.

Ian then glanced at Zia once more and stared at the girl a little longer, her breathing sounded calmer and she looked much better than when she was brought to this hospital.

If her condition stabilized within three days, Zia would be allowed to go home.

Diego had also arranged for a live- in psychiatrist to attend to his daughter and during that time, Zia would not hear any news from outside, until the situation was really conducive and society had forgotten about this case.
