(Darius' POV)
"Darius!" She called and rushed toward me.
"What the hell are you doing here, Charlotte?"
Her face was creased with worry as she looked me over.
"I was worried about you! You left in such a rush at the business conference, and when I heard you were at the hospital, I thought something had happened to you."
I scoffed. "And who told you where I was?"
She hesitated for a moment before straightening her posture. "Your mother. She was worried too."
I clenched my jaw. I wasn't surprised. My mother had a tendency to let Charlotte into places she didn't belong.
Before I could respond, Steven rushed down the hall toward me, his face a mix of exhaustion and relief.
"Darius! Any news? How is she?"
"She's okay. She woke up a few minutes ago."
Steven's eyes widened in shock. "What? Are you sure?"
I nodded frantically. "She opened her eyes for a while but eventually dozed off again. I was on my way to get the doctors to check on her."
