I paused for a moment before turning to walk away, saying to Hannah who followed behind, "She must
have gone to see Janetta. Let's go check on her too!"
As soon as we entered the hallway leading to Janetta's room, we were stopped by two men. After
explaining who we were, they consulted with the people inside before letting us in.
Before I even made it to the room, Janice greeted me, her face full of joy, "Aaliyah, what brings you
here?"
"I haven't been here for a while, thought I'd drop by!" I responded, taking her hand. "How is Janetta?"
She hushed me and quickly led me past the nurses' station.
Her room had been moved to a private one around the corner of the hallway, completely isolated with
bodyguards stationed at the entrance. They were taking precautions seriously.
As we entered, I saw several people giving Janetta a massage.
Relieved, Janice turned to me, shaking her head. "You're back in the hospital?"
I said with a smirk, "I've made this place my second home!"
My comment prompted laughter from the group, and Janice sincerely added, "Thank goodness, it was
a close call. You'll have good luck in the future!"
"Give me a break! I'd rather not have this luck than be subjected to this torment," I retorted, causing
more laughter. "If I die before I enjoy my luck, the Grim Reaper himself will be reluctant to take me!"
As I spoke, I moved closer to Janetta's bed. Despite her pale face, her eyes were open and she was
staring at me in surprise.
I quickly went over to her, asking, "Janetta, do you recognize me?"
At my words, Janetta became teary-eyed and emotional.
"Janetta, don't get worked up!" I called out in alarm. "Janice, what's..."
Janice rushed to my side and tried to calm Janetta. "Janetta, take it easy. If you have something to say,
take your time."
Janetta composed herself, then looked at me and managed to say, "Aaliyah!"
Tears sprung to my eyes as I tightly grasped her hand, nodding heavily. "Yes, Janetta. It's me, Aaliyah. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
I came to see you."
But Janetta's next words broke me.
"You've... lost weight!"
These words unleashed a flood of emotions, and I couldn't hold back my tears.
Through my sobs, I nodded. "Janetta, you're sharp as ever. I have lost weight. Did you know, you have
lost weight, too. Now you're the same as me."
My words were lighthearted, and to my surprise, Janetta cracked a smile.
Janice hugged me, expressing her gratitude. "Aaliyah, I can't thank you enough. If you hadn't brought
Dr. Dailey that day, and stayed with my sister, I don't know if she would have woken up!"
I patted Janice's back, comforting her. "It's fate. It was meant to happen. Don't cry, you're still
recovering."
Janice nodded and cleaned her tears. "I've told Janetta everything these past few days. She
understands. The doctor said her speech and movement are still affected by the accident. But she'll get
better."
I reassured her, "Everything will be alright. The universe is fair. Those who hurt us will face their karma.
We're still here, aren't we?"
Janetta nodded, indicating she understood.
I squeezed her hand. "You're doing great, Janetta. We believe you'll recover soon. Janice, Gevena,
Catherine, and I are all here for you."
She managed to utter a word, "...sit."
I nodded and sat by her bed, watching her intently.
She was thin, but her complexion had improved since I last saw her. She had a slight blush, indicating
she was well taken care of.
I turned to Janice and whispered, "Has Irving visited in the past few days?"
