In a ward at Sommerville Hospital, Suzanna was finally out of immediate danger and had been transferred to the intensive care unit.
Her sudden illness had paved the way for her to be granted temporary release after Derrick’s rejected application for bail due to her heart condition.
Suzanna would now be allowed to undergo ‘medical treatment outside of custody.
The young girl lay in her hospital bed, pale and weak. Her skin was swollen and red from an intense allergic reaction, leaving her looking frail and worn. The dehydration had sapped the life out of her once youthful appearance.
A scar on her forehead, now inflamed from the allergic response, was a permanent mark that would never fully fade.
Several officers from prison gathered outside in the hallway, making notes.
“Everyone needs to remain calm. Each individual who entered the prison underwent a thorough search. It’s extremely unlikely that anyone could have brought in something that triggered Suzanna’s reaction.
“Still, we’ll make sure the investigation is prioritized.
“Given how serious her condition is, we ye approved her release for medical treatment. But once she recovers, she’ll still need to answer for her crimes and be taken back into custody.”
Suzanna had a heart attack due to an allergic reaction in prison in the middle of the night. They had done their best in handling this situation.
Luckily, they had sent her to the hospital in time, or she could’ve died in prison,
Even the officials at the prison seemed shaken by Suzanna’s condition.
But they couldn’t bypass the standard legal process.
Christina, however, was livid. Her eyes were bloodshot as she growled, “What are you talking about? Taking her back into custody? She almost died in your prison. They just brought her back from hell, and trying to send her back? Are you even human?”
you’re
She had only just finished serving a seven–day detention and was now dealing with Suzanna’s sudden health crisis.
She had been under such intense stress for so long that she was nearing a complete mental collapse.
Noticing her unraveling. Sean quickly signaled Timothy to intervene.
Timothy frowned, his tall, once–composed frame now slouched under the weight of the recent turmoil. His strong shoulders, typically proud, were now drooping with exhaustion.
He grasped Christina’s arm, pulling her back from her piraling emotions. He let out a tired sigh, pressing his fingers against his temples. His face was pale, his volce raspy with fatigue.

“Mom, calm down. There are so many people in prison it’s normal for accidents to happen. At least Suzie’s okay now.
“Please, stop. We’ll figure out where the allergen came from”
In that moment, Timothy realized he was less invested in Suzanna’s well–being than he had been before.
Derrick, too, stepped forward, though he looked as worn out as Timothy
His usually sharp demeanor had softened, with messy hair falling across his forehead.
As he watched his mother on the brink of another breakdown, a deep exhaustion settled into his bones, making even simple movements feel draining.
But Christina didn’t seem to notice.
She shoved Timothy away forcefully, her eyeballs almost falling out as she glared at him and barked, Timothy, your sister’s lying on a bed inside. She could’ve died! How dare you tell me to calm down! Admit it! Are you mad at Suzie because of what happened with Melody’s pen drive?”
Her fierce attitude only added to the tension in the hallway.
Completely drained, Timothy rubbed his eyes. He had just rushed over from Gary’s hospital room after receiving the news of Suzanna’s successful resuscitation
What more did he need to do to show his concern for Suzanna?
What would it take for Christina to feel satisfied?
What else could he possibly do to fulfill his role as her older brother?
For a brief moment, Timothy felt crushed under the weight of all his responsibilities. His body moved slowly, and his face showed nothing but exhaustion, as though even breathing was a struggle.
When Christina brought up the pen drive from Melody, a sharp pain shot through his head.
Scenes of Melody’s countless acts of kindness during her time at the Shields flooded his mind, and he couldn’t escape them.
Whenever he was feeling worn out, Melody would always bring him a warm bowl of soup late at night, smiling as she handed it to him.
“Tim, is Goldman Pax Corporation going through a rough patch? I studied finance, too. Let me help you.” During the hot, stifling days when he had no appetite, no one else at the Shields had noticed.
But Melody would always bring him chilled coconut water to cool him down and case his frustration.
Her gentle fingers would press against his temples, massaging away his fatigue.
Tim, I’ll get my finance certifications so I can be your night hand. Then you won’t have to carry the weight alone.”
As the eldest of the Shields siblings, Timothy had always carried the heaviest burden.

o one else seemed to realize that he, too, could be overwhelmed, that he could feel worn down.
No one except for Melody. She had quietly poured herself into learning Avance, always presenting him
