With a shivering hand, Leon presses the "Enter" button after keying in his student particulars on the portal to check out his examination result on release day.

The reason for his nerve? This semester is unlike any other past semester where the results determine if he proceed to the next semester or get promoted to the next year of study. It's his graduating semester where he will be completing his whole course. It's been a roller coaster ride for Leon.

When the screen displayed "Graduated", Leon jumped off his chair, covered his mouth with his hand and shouts quietly in celebratory motion.

But why does Leon has to shout quietly instead of letting his emotion fly on such a happy occasion? It turns out that he is checking his result in the ward of the community hospital. He's here to monitor his brother Ben, who had met with an accident earlier the day, Ben is currently warded in the high dependency ward for monitoring after finishing an emergency procedure. Leon has to been task to stay in the hospital till their father takes over in the morning.

Thus despite it being a happy day for Leon, he can only shout quietly and enjoy his result in silence
