The Night Wore On
Lilly lay in her hospital bed, her heart heavy with worry as the night wore on. Surrounded by the steady presence of medical staff and the incessant beeping of machines, she couldn’t shake the feeling of uncertainty that loomed over her. The anxious thoughts about her test results kept sleep at bay, making the hours feel interminable. The absence of her family only compounded her distress, leaving her feeling increasingly isolated in her hospital room.
She couldn’t help but think about her twins and how they were coping without her. As the night stretched on without answers, her concern deepened, and she struggled to shake off the feeling of impending dread. Each tick of the clock felt like a reminder of her vulnerability, and she desperately hoped the situation wasn’t as serious as she feared. In that moment, Lilly clung to the hope that morning would bring clarity and relief.
