Three long days passed quietly inside the secure medical hospital room.
Sarah barely left her sister's side, sleeping in short bursts on the couch.
On the morning of the fourth day, the warm sun shone brightly.
Clara's long eyelashes fluttered softly as she slowly opened her brown eyes.
She looked around the bright room, feeling confused by the white medical equipment.
Her gaze landed directly on Sarah, who was sitting upright in her uniform.
Clara: Sarah... you came back home for me?
Sarah jumped up from her chair immediately, tears of joy filling her eyes.
Officer Sarah: Of course I came back, little sister. I will always come.
Clara tried to speak, her voice raspy from the long ventilator tube.
Clara: Julian... he was trying to take everything from our family.
Officer Sarah: Julian is in federal custody, Clara. He can never hurt you again.
Clara let out a deep sigh of immense relief, her shoulders finally relaxing.
Clara: I was so scared he would get away with his lies.
Officer Sarah: Nobody gets away with harming my family while I am breathing.
The door opened softly, and a kind female doctor walked inside smiling.
Doctor: Good morning, Clara. Your vital signs look absolutely fantastic today.
Officer Sarah: Is she clear to begin her physical rehabilitation process soon?
Doctor: Yes, Captain. Her full recovery is going to be remarkably fast.
Clara reached out and held Sarah's hand with growing physical strength.
Clara: What happens to the Vance company accounts now, Sarah?
Officer Sarah: The stolen assets have been returned to your personal trust fund.
Clara smiled warmly through her tears, squeezing her sister's hand tight.
Clara: You saved my life in more ways than one today.
Officer Sarah: That is what sisters are for, Clara. Always and forever.
The heavy dark shadow over their lives was completely gone forever now.
Together, the two sisters were ready to rebuild a safe, bright future.
