But it was painful to watch you pretending to jot down and work on something that I know would take at least another thirty-four hours." The stranger said, surprising Smith once again.

Martha and the others seemed to be moved by his words. There was the possibility of a miracle as long as they lived. This was not wrong. Even if the chances were slim, it was still better than giving up. As Martha thought of this, she clenched her teeth and said, “In that case, let’s wait patiently. Perhaps there will be a miracle, and I will not die here!” Kyler, who was aside, also said firmly, “Let’s wait! I’m also willing to wait! I haven’t lived enough yet. I’m willing to wait as long as there is a chance of survival!”

“We don’t know.” “But it’s more than we expected.” Silence settled over us.

Wira said with a serious look on his face; the man hoped that Riana would open her heart just a little. "Maybe, I can't open my heart right away. Can you wait?" Riana gave Wira the green light; yes, according to her, there was nothing wrong with the man in front of her because the man and his parents were good people.

Adrian paced back and forth in front of the hospital courtyard, occasionally glancing towards the hospital exit, hoping that the person he was waiting for would appear soon. But after waiting for a long time, the person he was waiting for did not show up. Adrian glanced at his expensive watch from time to time, saying angrily, "Where are they, actually!

Do they think I'm unemployed or something? Damn! This is really annoying!"
