Quietly, I left the hospital room, intending to call Atlas. I couldn't leave with the current situation because I was worried about Lauren. Plus, I didn't want to leave her with a random caretaker.
As I stepped out, I realized that Oliver hadn't left. His lonely figure leaned against the wall near the room, looking despondent. He heardcoming out. It startled him, but he soon straightened up.
