Sean frowned. How did she manage to put herself in such a dire state in just a short time?

The harsh white lights of the corridor reflected on May's anxious and weary face.
Shortly after, a doctor rushed over, his expression grave. "The patient has suffered a severe head injury and has lost a lot of blood. On top of that, she's developed an infection from being in the rain. Her condition is critical. Who is the patient's family member? We need consent for immediate surgery."

Her gaze on Sean was one of desperation, as if he were her only salvation.
The doctor, seeing the situation, urged again, "The patient is in critical condition. Any further delay could be Any further fatah Where is the family? We need a signature now!" The urgency in his voice heightened the tension in the air.
Sean frowned slightly, glancing at the peony on his chest and recal half-finished embolcalling the embroidery of "Radiant Beauty." He turned to the doctor, "I'll sign."
The doctor scrutinized Sean, noting his commanding presence and om innate dignity, which set him apart in the sterile hospital corridor. His aura was strikingly out of place yet captivating. The doctor couldn't help but ask, "What is your relationship to the patient?" This question momentarily stumped Sean, as they were little more than strangers who had crossed paths twice.
