Nolan looked at Henry with thickly veiled admiration . His jealousy had been founded in the expected outcome . Henry Wong when he wanted to be was quite the charmer .

He asked her, "Do you remember when Michael or one of the nurses said that Dr Wu would come to check up on you? Ellie, I hope it soon . You don"t look too good right now .
