When she got outside, she met Dr Martin at the door and she gave him a disapproving look.
"I thought I asked you to take some time to relieve yourself. Why are you back so soon?"
"I've been refreshed Ma'am. Thanks for your thoughtfulness," Dr Martin replied. He was still surprised how she could still think of someone else's well-being when her loved one was lying in an emergency room.
"That's alright," Kathleen said resignedly. "You can go in and keep watch over him. He just woke up briefly but went back to sleep."
"What"
"What! That is great news!"
Johnson was not the only person that exclaimed when the news of Shawn regaining consciousness was broken by Kathleen.
"I need to spend some time with my friend, but notify me immediately if he wakes up again," Kathleen instructed.
"Yes, Ma'am," Dr Martin replied before heading inside.
Kathleen's gaze settled on Johnson who looked haggard and in desperate need of rest.
