She let go of Anthony Sullivan's hand and straightened up to talk to Dr. Brown, "We were just chatting casually."
Dr. Brown pursed his lips, probably understanding the situation.
He bent down closer to Anthony Sullivan and encouraged him, "Mr. Sullivan, you have to stay strong."

Molly Riley took a step closer to the bed, but Heather George stopped her, "Molly, you need to leave first."
A tone that didn't allow for any doubt, mixed with anger.
'Beep, beep...'
The heart monitor started to alarm again, and Molly realized that it was her leaving that made Anthony's consciousness so strong.
She wiped away her tears in surprise and joy.
She clutched Heather George's arms with both hands and begged, "Auntie, please let me stay and talk to him. He can hear me, he really can."
