After bring blanket for Carina, Maya helped Gabriella settle in guest room and packed some things for Carina.


Amelia informed them that Carina is going for an examination.

They wait in Carina's room.


"Good news. Carina, your brain's soft tissue seems to be recovering well." Amelia says with a smile. "As for your memory loss, I'm afraid that you need to talk to Dr. Lauren tomorrow morning."


"When can I discharge?" Carina asks.


"Tomorrow afternoon. As long as your brain pressure keep in state, then you're cleared by me." Amelia glances between Maya and Carina, "I can page Jo if you want? For the baby."



Carina knows that if she is going to be discharged, it would be better to do an ultrasound just in case.

She also wants to know how is the baby. Before making any decisions.


"Yes, please." Carina sighs and fluffs her pillow again.


Amelia leaves the room to get Jo. And the duo shares a look, having a good faith that Carina starts to show her concern about the baby.


"Did you sleep?" Maya asks gently, noticing Carina looks restless and agitated.


"No." the patient frown and grumbles, "I can't sleep."


"Want some herbal tea? Chamomile always helps you sleep better." Maya offers. "I brought some from home."


"Sounds nice." Gabriella smiles at Maya encouraging her to make Carina a cup of tea.


"She's thoughtful." Gabriella smirks at Carina when Maya go get some hot water.


"Yeah, I guess." Carina raises an eyebrow and shrugs, not very impressed by Maya's gesture.


"You don't think so?" Gabriella is confused by Carina's reaction. She's so much different from the old her who's always looking at Maya with heart eyes.


"No, she's thoughtful. It's just..." Carina sighs, "I don't know, Gabri. I don't know how to tell you."


"It's OK. It's fine, tesoro." seeing Carina being frustrated and helpless, Gabriella quickly coaxes her. "You can tell me after you figure it out."


"Hey." Maya comes back with a mug and she carefully hands it over to Carina.


"Thank you." Carina mumbles and takes a sip.


"It's sweet. You add honey in it?" She looks at Maya, taking another sip.


"Yeah, that's how you like it. You don't like it?" Maya says innocently, reaching out to take the mug, "I'll make you another one."


Carina puts down the mug and quickly explains, "No, no. It just... Not many people know that's how my mama make tea. I'm not...getting used to it."  She tilts her head down looking at her own hands.


"It's weird that someone knows everything about you, but you don't know much about her. Hmm?" Gabriella says.


"Yeah." Caria clears her throat and notices something, gesturing at the blonde, "You're not cold?"



Cold??

Maya paused for a moment, then glanced down at her clothes. She just put on some T-shirt and a pair of jeans, nothing special.
