After putting her phone away, Natalie sat down beside the hospital bed and held Shane’s hand as she fell asleep.
Jackson gave Shane a check-up two days later, and Natalie asked him about Shane’s condition as she walked him out the door.
She was mainly asking why Shane had yet to wake up, and Jackson was about to say something when Connor shouted excitedly from inside the ward, “Mommy! Daddy’s awake!”
Natalie froze for a brief moment when she heard that, and got all worked up after processing what he said.
Oh, my god! Shane is awake!
She then ran into the ward while Jackson followed swiftly behind.
Shane had opened his eyes and was gently caressing Connor’s head as he lay on the hospital bed.
He glanced at Natalie when he heard her coming in, and he had a gentle yet apologetic look in his eyes as he said, “I’m sorry for making you worry so much Honey.”
When Shane first opened his eyes, Connor told him about how restless Natalie had been when he was unconscious for so many days.
Judging by the dark circles under Natalie’s eyes and how skinny she looked, he could tell that she wasn’t eating properly either.
Natalie bit down on her lip as tears of joy flowed down her cheeks.
Shane reached his hand out toward her, and Natalie sniffled as she placed her hand in his.
Shane gave her hand a little squeeze and said, “You’ve become skinnier.”
Unable to contain her emotions any longer, Natalie threw herself into his arms and burst out crying.
