Ethan had become so deeply involved in her life recently that his absence among the visitors caught even Layena off guard.
He hadn't shown up at all since this morning, even though he surely knew she was being discharged today.
However, Layena was actually relieved.
Ethan had been paying a little too much attention to her when he should have been focusing on his own growth and social life, instead of neglecting others, especially Clara, for her sake.
So, while it was surprising that he hadn't come, it was a welcome surprise.
"Though what could have happened?" Hannah muttered as the five of them waited in the lobby.
The reason they were still here was because a bit of paperwork remained, and it would take a few more minutes to finish.
"About Ethan, right? I wonder if he's badly injured." Clara added. He had texted her this morning, apologizing for not answering her calls yesterday.
He had been... unnaturally polite and sweet this morning.
