"Nothing much. I just want my freedom back," I replied coldly.
She looked visibly frustrated by my answer. She took several deep breaths before muttering angrily, "What can I do so that you won't leave me?" I wanted to leave, and she wantedto stay. We were in a deadlock situation.

Being cooped up in this hospital all the tis really getting on my nerves." I tried to keep my tone calm, but I was still feeling angry, and my tone showed that.
Selena hadn't expectedto be so insistent. After a moment's silence, she reluctantly nodded.
"Fine, I'll give you your phone," she said.
She looked at Zion, took a deep breath, and said, "But on one condition. You must promisethat you won't leave until I'm fully recovered. No matter what." I didn't want to agree, but I had no choice.
"Zion, give him the phone." It was clear now. If I could get Selena to bend, Zion would be just a nobody.

I wandered around the hospital. It was a big place, yet strangely empty. Most of the patients seemed to stay inside, rarely coming out to enjoy the sunlight or do sexercise. I felt sadness for them when I thought of that. They chose the comfort of their rooms over the simple joys of nature.
Checking the ton my phone, I hesitated but finally logged in and contacted Sylvia. It took several tries before she finally picked up the video call.
