Because the sofa was facing away from the door, Crossley was still lying on the sofa, and they couldn't see her at all.
So Nurse Lee called out, "Miss Gibson?..."
A nurse went to the restroom, stood by the door and knocked, also calling out, "Miss Gibson, Miss Gibson, are you in there?"
Crossley, lying on the sofa, heard the voices. She slowly sat up and looked at the nurses.
The nurses were startled; they gazed at her in surprise, each with a different expression, sizing her up—
The woman in front of them sat on the sofa, showing only a small part of her body. She was wearing a white nightgown, with her long black hair draped over her shoulders, slightly disheveled. Her small face showed an abnormal flush, but her lips were bloodless.
The woman's features were exquisite and clean, indeed very pretty. However, without makeup and looking sickly, she lacked vitality and energy, appearing frail. How could she compare to the radiant Gemma Blue?
