Chapter - 99

Evelina, her gaze following Rick's finger, responded, "All the rooms, with the exception of this particular one," she noted, indicating the last room in the corridor beyond the one where her grandmother was receiving care, "Are presently assigned to the attending staff overseeing my grandmother's well-being. These quarters accommodate doctors, nurses, and various other professionals essential to her care."
