She thought she was dreaming, because she clearly saw a soft glow surrounding him.
She approached him from behind and he suddenly turned around. She saw the deepness in his eyes and felt the warm radiance of his body. She snapped back to reality. This was not a dream.
“Why are you out of bed?” He supported her arm. “Did I wake you?”
She shook her head. “I slept quite a bit last night. Sleeping too much makes me feel dizzy.”
“Should I accompany you for a walk?” He had asked the doctor, who told him that the baby was fine. Violette’s rapid heart rate and difficulty breathing were mainly due to her anxiety.
As long as she calmed her emotions and ensured ample sleep, everything would be okay, but if she didn’t adjust soon, it could impact the baby.
Violette glanced out the window. It was a bright and sunny day. She nodded and they stepped out of the room together.
“Violette, the trouble your company is facing, it’s a minor issue.” They stepped out of the hospital. He carefully began, “Life can’t always be smooth sailing, whether it’s personal or professional. It’s only through adversity that we can break free.”
She looked at him. “Are you trying to comfort me?”
“Your emotional resilience needs to improve.” Seeing that she was in a fairly good state of mind, he spoke directly, “Even if someone has taken your core technology, even if they’ve made the money that you should have made, so what? It’s just a financial loss. Health always comes first.”
She nodded. “So when you were sick, you were drinking coffee, smoking, because you knew health comes first. If you didn’t understand the importance of health, you’d probably have been downing antibiotics with whiskey!”
Elijah was speechless. It seemed he had been overly concerned. She didn’t need comforting at all.
“Hahaha!” She couldn’t resist laughing. “Your eyes are red. Did you skip sleeping again? If you had an EKG right now, I bet my hospital room would be given to you.”
“I was worried you were overwhelmed, so I couldn’t sleep.” he explained. “But it seems you’re stronger than I thought.”
