Chapter 56 : Daniel

*Lexie's POV*

I sit beside Natasha, our hands intertwined for support. Noland stands by the window, his imposing figure casting a shadow over the room. Robert sits on the bed, the nurse finishing some examinations of his arm. He looks good, healthier, more awake.

The door clicks open and Sussie enters, her blonde hair shimmering around her face. She takes in the sight of us, her sunshine personality momentarily dimmed by the tension in the room.

"Hey, guys," she says softly, trying to sound upbeat despite the gravity of the situation.

"Hi, Sussie," I respond, attempting a smile.

"Sis," Natasha breathes, relief washing over her features. "I need your help with something."

"Of course, what do you need?" Sussie asks, her eyes flicking to Eleanor, who sits in the corner, a disapproving scowl etched onto her face.

"Could you stay with Robert while I finalize the details for my show tomorrow? I can't focus on it with all this going on," Natasha explains, her voice cracking slightly.
