Jack pushed open the door of the ward and saw the girl finally awake and sitting on the hospital bed. In that instant, it seemed like his heart stopped beating.
Even time seemed frozen, and everything around seemed to have been paused.
The sound of the wind was frozen, the birds outside the window were frozen, and the fallen leaves were also frozen in midair.
He could only see the girl's bright and clear eyes.
After a moment of silence, his heart beat rapidly and intensely, as if the blood in his body was flowing backward, his hand holding the doorknob tightened until his knuckles turned white.
Victoria sat on the bed, staring at the man who pushed the door open without blinking.
Just now, there was an inexplicable and strong premonition that Jack had arrived.
After the door was pushed open, the person who came in was really him...
The entire ward suddenly fell silent. Alicia, Mason, and the others subconsciously quieted down.
Jack's deep eyes were firmly fixed on the girl on the bed, stubbornly refusing to spare even a glance for others.
Finally, he lifted his legs and walked over, his pace carrying a rare panic.
It only lasted for a few seconds, but it felt like a century had passed before he finally walked to Victoria.
The man's gaze was deep and fiery, and beneath the seemingly calm surface, there was a tumultuous and uncontrollable love and longing. He couldn't restrain himself any longer and bent down to hug her as if embracing his entire world...
"Victoria..."
His girl... his life... finally came back...
Victoria was about to speak when she noticed the man trembling slightly as he hugged her arm, and there was a warm and moist sensation on her neck...
Victoria's heart tightened, filled with a dense surge of bitterness and sadness.
She wanted to hug the man back and comfort him.
The next second, Jack suddenly let go of her.
Victoria was puzzled.
Jack looked at her nervously, his voice trembling slightly, "Did it hurt you?"
Victoria replied, "...No."
She wasn't a porcelain doll!
She hadn't even hugged him yet!
Victoria was afraid of hurting her, so he was careful when he reached out to touch her as if a slight touch would hurt her. From childhood, this was the first time he didn't know where to put his hand.
Victoria stared blankly...
Victoria's eye twitched, and even though she still couldn't exert much strength, she took a deep breath, gathered some strength, and suddenly raised her hand, hugging the man fiercely, as if seizing him forcefully.
It was like a bully forcing herself on him.
"I told you, I'm not hurt. Let me hug you for a while!"
Alicia looked at this scene and felt very relieved.
Good, her daughter had the same demeanor as she did back then.
Then she signaled to the others in the ward to quietly leave, giving the young couple some space to talk.
They quietly walked out of the ward and closed the door.
Ralph's face was very strange.
Michael couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Ralph said, "I always thought that it was Jack who stole our sister, but that scene in the ward just now made me suddenly feel that our sister stole Jack, right?" "
Michael said, "You're overthinking."
Alicia ignored what her sons were saying, walked to the side, called Carl, and told him that Victoria was awake.
"Carl, Victoria woke up, just woke up... Yes, really woke up, I didn't lie to you... Tell your grandfather and your sister about Victoria waking up... Hey hey, calm down a bit, don't shout so loudly, you're going to deafen me..."
Alicia couldn't bear it and kept her phone away from her ear.
After a full two minutes, Carl, who was screaming on the other end of the phone, finally stopped...
In the ward.
Victoria was still holding Jack's hand tightly, her watery eyes stuck to him as if glued, pouting with concern, "Why do you look more haggard than me?"
"How could that be?" Jack did not say much about these two months of torment.
Hearing that her voice was a little hoarse, one of his hands being held by her, he had to pour a glass of water with the other hand.
Victoria was just about to reach out and take the glass of water.
Jack avoided it with the water glass and looked at her hand raised in the air, "Keep holding on."
Victoria blinked, and her two small hands obediently went back and tightly held his hand.
