In a moment, the once-normal testimony recording room turned into a chaotic scene, with the sound of someone calling for a doctor and some people apologizing to Isabel Smith just to please Percy Stanton.
Isabel knew that Percy accusing the people around him was a bit of an overreaction. She also knew that she should speak up to reassure him that she was fine.
But at this moment, seeing the people in the room, who would usually behave politely around her, all gather around her, and Percy sitting by her side, softly and anxiously saying, "Just wait a little longer, the doctor will be here soon," something warm welled up inside her heart. She was stunned and couldn't bring herself to break free.
It had been many years since she had last experienced being held in the palm of someone's hand, treated as the center of attention, and relishing in the adoration of others.
Perhaps the happiest thing in life is to be favored by someone for no reason, just like what she was experiencing now.
