Here Comes Veronica (121)

Stella held Veronica's hand and comforted her in a soft voice. "Veronica, Mr. Cordova will be fine. Have you ever heard that if there is no news, it is good news? There has been no news for the past two days. Maybe he has already recovered."

Veronica smiled bitterly.

These two days, she had thought about all the results, but she was not willing to accept any bad results.

"Stella, I'm fine. Don't worry." She took a deep breath and looked at the two people with a smile. "I've pictured the worst condition, and nothing will be worse than that. I believe that he will be fine."

Stella looked at her sympathetically.

"Veronica, are you really alright?"

"I'm fine now. I've thought it through." Veronica pursed her lips, smiling. "As you said, no news is good news. He might be fine. What I need to do now is to wait for him to return safely. When he comes back, I want him to see me in my best condition."

Stella felt even sadder for Veronica when she saw Veronica doing self-comfort.
