"Did they find someone on their own?"
The woman's words only deepened Ryan's confusion. He even wondered if he had misheard her, so he asked again.
"Yes, the patient's family found someone on their own. I was actually a little involved in the situation back then..."
The woman hesitated slightly but decided to tell the truth.
Before continuing, she quickly stood up, grabbed two disposable cups from a drawer, and nervously poured coffee into them while Ryan and Mia watched.
"Miss Alice, Mr. Ryan, you've had a long day. Please, have some coffee. This is a premium single-origin brew, it's really good."
She placed the coffee in front of Ryan and Mia. Even though it was just a simple pour-over, the rich aroma filled the room.
The fragrance was so enticing that even someone who knew nothing about coffee could tell it was expensive.
