Now that their mother had regained consciousness, the children burst into tears.
“Mommy, you're finally awake. We were really scared...”
Even Archie began to sniffle softly as tears hung from the corner of his eyes.
Feeling sorry for the children, Roxanne comforted them weakly, “I'm sorry to have given all of you a scare, but it was thanks to your calling out that I managed to wake up.”
The children's cries subsided when they heard that.
“Did you hear us just now?” Benny choked out.
Roxanne's lips pursed into a grin. “When I heard two crybabies about to cry their lungs out, I pushed myself to wake up. I didn't expect all of you to still end up crying.”
She had been drifting in and out of sleep just a while ago. Even though she was too weak to physically wake up, her mind was already conscious.
It was when she heard Benny's and Estella's voices that she forced herself to wake up from her coma.
Little did she expect her children to cry so hard the moment she opened her eyes.
It was a sight that filled Roxanne with guilt. “I'm sorry for making all of you worry. I was careless.”
Her lack of caution was what made her fall into Jack's trap.
