In the evening, Sienna Thornton was dozing off by the bedside.
She felt the frail hand she was holding tremble slightly, which brought her back to her senses. Indeed, she saw Melinda Linton looking at her, her face full of tears.
She immediately threw herself into Melinda's arms, sobbing uncontrollably, "Mom, how are you feeling?"
Melinda moved her arm slightly and whispered, "I'm fine..."
Sienna wiped the tears from her cheeks and stood up to tuck Melinda in. "The doctor said you're okay. The most important thing is to rest well. You'll be discharged soon."
She didn't mention the valve replacement to Melinda, fearing it might worry her too much and affect her health.
When she got up to pour water, Melinda noticed her right leg wrapped in a cast and struggled to sit up, "Annie, what happened to your leg?"
