Cyril was so excited that his hands were trembling. He sent a message to the group chat Freedom, saying, [Great news. Great news. Sophia is awake. Sophia is awake. Sophia is awake. I can't help repeating it.]
Harper replied immediately, [Are you serious?]
Liam was skeptical of this statement. After all, Sophia had been lying down for so long. So, he sent a message to ask, [ Are you still in your dreams?]
Without waiting for Cyril to answer, Nona replied, [It's true. Sophia just woke up. We're all in the Wilson's residence.]
George added, [I'm here too.]
Liam replied, [Fuck, I'll be right there.]
Harper also replied, [I'm coming too.]
After that, George sent another message to his father. Now that Sophia was awake, everyone was in a state of excitement. They did not have the time to inform others one by one. George said in his message, [Dad, Sophia is awake.]
Then, he sent a message to Jasper, saying, [Jasper, Sophia is awake.]
After sending it, he sent another message to Chris, saying, [Uncle Chris, Sophia is awake.]
The last message was sent to Stella. [ Stella, Sophia is awake.]
After informing them, George put his phone away and hid it in his pocket.
Half an hour later, the Spaghetti Bolognese was ready. Natalie came up with a plate of Spaghetti. One could smell the fragrance from afar. Sophia wanted to raise her hand but realized that her father and sister were holding her hands.
Before Sophia woke up, the family had prepared a lot of food that she could eat after she woke up. This Spaghetti was also bought by Trevon personally. It was thin and easy to digest.
Trevon stood up. George had already brought over a cushion. He asked warmly, "Uncle Trevon, do you want another one?"
After helping Sophia sit up, Trevon realized one cushion was not enough. He instructed, "George, get me another one."
"Oh, okay." Soon, George went to the small sofa to get a cushion and handed it to Trevon.
Nona and Cyril were still excitedly sharing this good news in the group chat. At this moment, everyone was smiling happily.
Sophia was helped to sit up. She had slept for too long. When she sat up, she felt a little dizzy. Trevon saw her close her eyes and thought that she had some sequelae. His eyes were filled with worry. "Are you feeling unwell? I will bring you to the base for a checkup after eating."
There were only monitoring devices in the room. There was nothing that could be used to check on her in detail.
"I'm fine. Maybe I'm hungry, or maybe I've slept for too long. I'm just a little dizzy. I'll be fine after eating." As soon as Sophia finished speaking, she met her father's worried gaze. Sophia quickly changed her words and smiled. "I'll go for a checkup after eating."
Olivia was still holding Sophia's hand. She was afraid that Sophia would fall asleep again if she let go. Sophia tugged her hand and said, "I won't run away."
Only then did she let go. No one in the room had any intention of leaving. It was as if they were afraid that Sophia, as she said, woke up because she was dying soon. They wanted to watch her eat the Spaghetti before leaving.
They all looked at her in a daze.
Trevon did not let Sophia eat it herself. He took the Spaghetti from Natalie's hand, picked up the fork, lowered his head, and carefully blew on it. He fed it to Sophia's mouth bit by bit. Sophia did not stop him and opened her mouth to eat.
Natalie said, "Eat Spaghetti only. Don't eat the side dishes. When you recover, I will make you more."
Sophia nodded obediently.
Everyone watched as she ate the Spaghetti one bite at a time. It was as if they were eating it themselves. They were excited, and their hands trembled as Sophia finished half a plate of Spaghetti. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles, and they heaved a sigh of relief.
Olivia watched Sophia eat the Spaghetti in a daze and smiled like a fool.
Looking at the scene, Sophia tried her best to hold back her tears. She felt sorry for making everyone worry. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she realized she could not say a word.
After a while, Rachel came in with Caleb. As soon as she entered, she saw Sophia eating Spaghetti on the bed. She was so excited that she cried and called out with a trembling voice, "Sophia."
Swallowing the food in her mouth, Sophia looked at her grandparents. "Grandma, Grandpa."
"Oh, it's good that you're awake. I'm glad you're awake. It's great. Thank God," Caleb said. He also silently told his late parents that Sophia had woken up.
Mary's legs prevented her from walking freely. She held the handrail and walked in to take a look. She secretly wiped her tears and went out again. Everyone had their backs facing the door, so they didn't see Mary come.
After going downstairs, Mary picked up her bag and prepared to go to the Wilson family's cemetery.
After dinner, everyone moved to the base. Sophia was carried into the car by Trevon. In an instant, Sophia felt that she was too weak. However, since it was because her father was worried, she did not refuse. She did whatever she could to make her father feel happy and at ease.
When other kids were about to arrive at the Wilson's residence, they were notified to go to the base. Therefore, halfway there, they changed directions and headed toward the base.
Caleb and Rachel were waiting at home. Trevon said that it wouldn't help even if they all went there.
Frank, Ava, Jasper, Ruby, Hackett, and Edward were already waiting at the base. Chris and Stella were also waiting at the side. They all arrived at the base at the fastest speed.
Seeing the RV stop, Frank and Jasper helped to open the door. Trevon did not let Sophia walk by herself the entire time. He carried her out of the car. Sophia gave everyone a reassuring smile as she greeted everyone.
Seeing that Sophia had woken up, Frank, who was usually calm, looked surprised. He glanced at Trevon, who was silent, and said, "It's good you're awake. Let's go in and check."
Jasper raised his hand and prepared to carry Sophia. He said, "Dad, let me carry Sophia."
"I'll do it." Trevon insisted.
