At 3:30 am, the doctors summoned by Percy Stanton all left one after another.
Before Thomas Quincy left, he specifically instructed the hospital's doctor on what to pay attention to when Isabel Smith wakes up.
Percy sent Thomas out of the Infirmary door and watched him leave before returning to the room.
The room was quiet, except for Isabel, now there was only him left.
He closed the door, stood at the entrance, and watched Isabel lying on the hospital bed for a while before he stepped forward, walked to the bedside, pulled a chair, and sat down.
Isabel's quilt wasn't covered properly, so Percy raised his hand and covered it for her again.
Her hand was on an intravenous drip, and he carefully placed her hand beside the bed into his palm and held it gently.
Under the faint light in the Infirmary, Percy listened to Isabel's slightly weak breathing and felt a little pang of pain in his heart.
