He felt relieved after spending such a long time in hospital. The doctor strictly advised him to get his wounds dressing done daily. He assured him but he knew better that he going to take off the bandages in a few days by himself. He has suffered deeper pain that this bullet wound. He was so eager through out these days that Ruby will once visit him. But when she didn't came, he realized that already knew that he was conscious now, maybe from Joseph and now she'll not face him.
