"Get out! Leave now, all of you," Adrien commanded, waving to the bodyguards and nurses. Adrien made an attempt to take Emmeline's hand after everyone had left. Emmeline moved away and hid both her hands behind her back. Adrien asked with a grieving frown, "Emma, can you consider that I risked my life to take a bullet for you and risked my life to help you yesterday, and let me hold on to your hand?" Emmeline shook her head and bit her lip. "How could you be so cruel?" Adrien grumbled, and he was almost in tears, "Please don't add more pain to my heart given that I've been seriously injured. Can't you just let me hold your hand?" Emmeline thought about it. Adrien had been physically harmed; she should not have caused him emotional harm too.

She looked at Adrien and thought about the whole situation from various angles. A nurse entered the ward at that point to change Adrien's medication. Quentin, the attending physician, had also arrived. Quentin's eyes lingered on Emmeline for a moment when he saw her. Then he asked Adrien, "Mr. Adrien, are you feeling better today?"
