Vera gave him a glance, "What's it got to do with you?"
This line, of course, was a joke.
Kris Cooper reached out his hand and gently placed it on her belly, leaning close to her ear and speaking softly.
"Without my hard work, how would he be here?"
Vera slapped him.
"Get lost!"

Vera saw Nathan Leafcastle again three days after he woke up. After spending three full days recovering in the ICU, his condition had improved significantly.
Though he still looked pale and worn out, his eyes were as sharp as ever.
Michael Freenan and the assistant patiently finished taking his statement before leaving the ward.
Having spoken quite a bit, he was very tired by now. When he saw Vera walk in, he merely lifted his lips into a pale smile for her.
"You guys chat, I'll fetch some water!"
Sally Dalton considerately stood up, grabbed the water bottle, and walked out of the ward.
Walking over to sit by his bed, Vera returned his smile.
"Sorry, I'm only seeing you now."
