Shea Thorne returned to the hotel, and her father hadn't come back yet.
She tidied up the things she bought today, placed them in her father's room, and went to take a shower.
After the shower, she lay on the bed and called her father, only to find out he might not return until around midnight, telling her not to wait up and to go to sleep first.
On her phone, Milo Sinclair had just told her he was back at the hospital. Feeling impulsive, Shea sent him a link to a melodramatic novel she found in her dorm's group chat, which included a whole array of dramatic elements like eye gouging and kidney theft, with white moonlight, green tea bitches, and misunderstood romances in abundance.
Without waiting for his reply, she turned off her phone and went to sleep.
When she woke up, it was already noon the next day, and when she picked up her phone, Milo hadn't replied on WeChat. It seemed he hadn't seen the novel link or realized it was fiction and decided not to read further.
