Meanwhile, sitting in the hematology ward's hallway, Ryan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
He sneezed out of nowhere, startling the little one in his arms awake. The sudden jolt caused her to blink her big, sleepy eyes in confusion as she looked up at him.
It wasn't cold in the hospital, and it wasn't the season for pollen or anything like that.
That sneeze came out of nowhere. Was someone talking about him?
But who could it be? Miss Alice? Bella? Or maybe Anna?
Ryan started counting on his fingers, trying to figure it out. Was it just his imagination, or did it feel like it could be any of them?
"Mm, good morning, Ryan!"
Ryan was still lost in thought when Mia, the little one in his arms, finally shook off her grogginess.
Her eyes were still half-closed as she yawned and covered her mouth with her tiny hand, greeting him in a sleepy voice.
