"And the best Husband"

As she said they both chuckled.

"Time for your daily check-up, Zara," Nurse announced.

Adeel stood, stretching his arms.

"Everything looks good, Zara," Nurse Rukhsana smiled.

Adeel cleared his throat.

"When can we expect Zara's discharge?" Adeel asked.

"Ummm Best to discuss that with Dr. Asher. He'll assess Zara's progress."

Adeel nodded.
