Chapter 23 Behind Every Creation

• They walked side by side toward the nurse's station. Though the distance wasn’t far, Theo kept his eyes on Hazel, his gaze filled with concern. Each step they took seemed to carry its own weight of worry for Theo, who didn’t want to let her out of his sight. He needed to ensure the woman who meant so much to him was all right.
• When they reached the nurse's room, Theo gently helped Hazel into a chair, his eyes still focused on her, unwilling to miss a single detail. A nurse quickly approached and began tending to Hazel’s wound with practiced efficiency.
• The nurse carefully cleaned the cut on Hazel’s arm with an antiseptic-soaked cotton swab. Each touch made Hazel wince slightly, and although she tried to stay calm, the pain was evident on her face. Occasionally, she glanced at Theo, who stood beside her with a serious and worried expression, watching her without moving. He didn’t want to miss a single moment, feeling as though every second was vital to ensuring she was truly okay.
