Joshua was excited yet scared to meet Ivy, and he couldn't stop moving as he waited for Ian to come. He started to mentally prepare himself for what he'd say inside.
'Should I apologize first? Should I say something else?' He wondered as he glanced at the ICU.
He stopped walking when a thought entered his mind all of a sudden. 'What if I agitate her? Should I go? Or should I not go?' He felt terrible when he thought about it. 'But what to do? I can't stay away. I need to see her too. I need to....'
At that moment, Ian exited the ICU, and Joshua rushed towards him enthusiastically.
"How is she, Ian? Is she okay?" Joshua was just about to rush inside the ICU as well when Ian stopped him.
"Joshua, she's asleep."
His words were like a basin of cold water thrown over his enthusiasm, and Joshua's smile vanished instantly.
