Unexpectedly, the door to the ward swung just as Corinne was about to knock.
A group of men in black walked out of the ward with stuff in their hands. It looked like someone was being discharged from the ward.
Corinne double-checked the room number, making sure it matched what Xante had told her. She then asked one of the men, "Hey, is the person in this room getting discharged?" The man in black eyed her suspiciously. "Who are you? Why do you want to know?"
"I'm just here to visit the patient in there," replied Corinne.
"Move along! You can't just barge in. Without the say-so from our ma'am and miss, no one steps inside!" retorted the man in black rudely.
'Ma'am and miss?' Corinne immediately knew who he was referring to. "I know them. Please inform them that Corinne is here. They'll let me in."
'Corinne?' The man in black had heard of the name before because he often heard the name being mentioned whenever Sophia and Adam were quarreling.
'Is this the same woman who irks Miss Sophia?' the man pondered while sizing up Corinne.
After a moment's consideration, he gruffly said, "Wait here."
With that, he turned and went inside to seek permission.
Not long after, Melinda and Lilin came out in person.
"Corinne? What are you doing here?"
"Miss Corinne, you've come!"
Looking at Melinda and Lilin, Corinne asked, "Missus Addison, you invited me out the day before yesterday and mentioned introducing me to someone from my past. Is that person here?"
At that point, Melinda felt there was no need to hide it any longer, so she nodded. "Yes, she's inside. Do you want to go in and see her?"
Corinne nodded. "Yes."
"Miss Corinne, come on in! Miss Emily has been eager to see you!" Lilin pulled Corinne into the ward excitedly.
For some reason, even though Corinne wanted to meet her mother, she found herself hesitating to enter. She could not quite pinpoint the source of her fear, and she would have stayed outside the door if it were not for Lilin pulling her in.
Soon enough, Corinne stood in the middle of the ward and saw Emily lying on the hospital bed-pale but serene.
