The doctor had assured them that Wendy would wake up in twenty-four hours.
There were still a few hours left to wait until the next morning so Michael asked his grandmother to go home to rest after Mary passed out. His grandmother was too old to stay in the hospital for any longer without proper rest.
Wendy had been transferred out of the ICU, but she couldn't stay in the general ward where there were too many patients in one unit.
Michael had made up his mind to stay with Wendy for the whole night, despite knowing that she wouldn't wake up.
Jake and Leah wanted to join him as well, but he did not allow them to.
"It's better for you to go back and have some rest," he said to them. "The doctor already told us that Wendy won't wake up until tomorrow. Let's all have a good night's rest and greet Wendy with all of our energy. Otherwise, she'd be worried if she saw how exhausted both of you are. Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."
