Chapter 49 Melissa's Vulnerability

• Richard hesitated for a moment, weighing the risks and considering Melissa's plea. He knew that they were up against a dangerous adversary, and his instinct was to prioritize her safety above all else. However, he also understood the urgency in Melissa's voice and saw the determination in her eyes.
• Taking a deep breath, Richard made a decision. "Alright, Melissa," he said, his voice filled with both concern and resolve. "If leaving the hospital is what you truly believe is best, then I will support you. But I want you to promise me that you'll take it easy and prioritize your well-being."
• Melissa nodded, grateful for Richard's understanding. She knew that she had to be cautious and take care of herself, especially considering her pregnancy. "I promise, Richard," she replied, her voice filled with gratitude. "I won't push myself too hard. Our safety is my priority, but I'll listen to my body and rest when I need to."
