Charlie drove through several red lights at full speed.
When he arrived at the hospital, it was half an hour later.
The caregiver was still in the ward. Seeing Charlie, she came up to greet him.
Charlie sat at the bedside of his mother, holding her hand tightly for fear of missing any of her small movements.
Sure enough, he felt her hand twitching.
After a moment, Mckenzie's eyelashes fluttered gently.
Charlie and the caregiver held their breath, not daring to make a sound.
Slowly, Mckenzie opened her eyes.
As she hadn't seen light for a long time, she felt it was blindingly bright.
Charlie softly called her and asked the caregiver to get the doctor.
He was always reserved, but now his eyes were glistening with tears.
He wanted to hug her tightly, but she was so haggard.
Mckenzie wanted to speak, but she couldn't make a sound. Charlie patted her back gently.
The doctor soon came and checked Mckenzie over, looking elated.
"Congratulations, Mr. Morgan, but your mom is still very weak. She needs to rest and be carefully taken care of. She'd better stay in the hospital for another month." The mother and son hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Charlie almost lost his mom forever. Mckenzie reached out and gently caressed his face. They embraced excitedly for a long while.
Mckenzie slept for a month without waking up. She was stiff, feeling that she couldn't control her body.
Charlie fed her warm water and helped her relax.
"How's the restaurant?" Mckenzie was still worried about the restaurant.
Instantly, Charlie's body stiffened. After thinking for a moment, he told the truth." The restaurant has been closed for a few days."
