The atmosphere in the hospital room felt silent, leaving only the bland scent of the food Celine had just finished. The doctor placed his stethoscope down after a thorough examination, while a nurse noted vital developments on a clipboard.
"Your vital signs have returned to normal, Miss. You are cleared to go home this afternoon," the doctor said with a flat, professional smile.
Celine exhaled a long breath, a glimmer of relief mingled with anxiety shadowing her eyes. "Thank you, Doctor. But... why wait until this afternoon? I feel perfectly fine right now," Celine asked, her voice carrying a subtle urgency, as if she wanted to escape the suffocating white walls immediately.
The doctor paused for a moment, looking at Celine with an unreadable gaze. "Because that was a direct request from Mr. Leo. He himself insisted on picking you up this afternoon."
