Henry Russell was reluctant to leave, so he stayed by Charlotte Cooper's bedside and eventually fell asleep.
When the first rays of the morning sun hit him, Henry woke up to a surprise - Charlotte was awake. She just stared blankly with both eyes opened. Henry excitedly called out her name several times, but she seemed not to hear.
"Charlotte, Charlotte?" Henry reached out for her hand. Slowly, she turned her head towards him, looking completely devoid of her previous spirit.
"Could it be that last night's therapy worked?" Henry wondered: "Do you recognize who I am?" Noticing that Charlotte seemed off, he asked her.
To his surprise, Charlotte nodded at Henry.
Relieved, Henry immediately hugged her, but he felt her body stiffen. She looked tense and didn't say a word.
"Charlotte, are you feeling any better?"
Noticing her body reaction, Henry couldn't help but frown.
