Kyla's chest tightened. Swallowing her frustration, she kept up the act. "Oh... I understand." She let out another feeble cough, her face growing even paler. "I-I should probably go see the doctor now." Turning unsteadily, she began walking away, though her eyes flashed with something venomous the moment she glanced at Sadie.
Her steps were so feeble it seemed she might collapse at any second.
Biting her lip, she forced a fragile smile, her voice trembling as though she was on the verge of tears.
"Noah... I feel dizzy. I-I can't walk..." Her words were barely above a whisper, light enough to be carried away by the air.

"Nurse!" A nurse hurried over. "Mr. Wall, how can I assist you?" Without shifting his focus, he gestured toward Kyla. "Escort Miss Wade to her doctor." Kyla's expression froze.

Swallowing her disappointment, she forced a faint smile at the nurse. "Sorry to trouble you." The nurse took her arm, leading her away.
Even as she walked, Kyla kept glancing back at Noah hoping for a sign any sign-that he cared. But his eyes never wavered from the ICU door, not sparing her even a second's glance.
As she finally disappeared down the hallway, the suffocating tension in the air seemed to ease ever so slightly.
