Slowly, Roxanne squatted to touch the little girl's head.
However, she seemed to have noticed the girl smiling at her.
Roxanne's nose stung. She wanted to apologize to the girl, but the lump in her throat prevented her from doing so.
“Get out quickly, Mommy. You'll see me when you wake up!” the girl urged, tilting her head.
Roxanne's eyes trembled violently.
My daughter died long ago... How am I going to see her again once I wake up?
Nonetheless, the little girl gave her an urgent push.
Archie's and Benny's cries traveled into Roxanne's ears again.
After much hesitation, Roxanne finally stood up. Before leaving, she could not help but look back at the tiny figure behind her.
The little girl waved.
Roxanne forced a smile and marched toward the door.
“Mommy!”
The children's cries were becoming clearer.
As Roxanne slowly opened her eyes, she stared at the glaring white ceiling with moistened eyes.
“She's awake! Ms. Jarvis is awake!”
The specialists who had been waiting by the door stared at her unblinkingly. The moment the crowd saw her open her eyes, they cheered happily.
Lucian, too, noticed Roxanne's eyes were opened, and he was filled with disbelief.
It was not until he heard the specialists' voices that he snapped back to reality. Still, he could not believe what had happened.
She's awake?
He had been waiting for so long that he was about to lose hope. And now, Roxanne was finally awake.
“Mommy! Mommy!”
The three children gripped her hands tightly, so tightly that she felt as if her hands were going to break.
