Half an hour later, Louis walked into the hospital room holding Vivian's hand. When they saw Jane wake up, both father and daughter were visibly stunned for a moment. The next second, Vivian flew over to Jane like a bird returning to its nest.
"Mommy, you're awake!"
"Yeah," Jane smiled as she reached out to hold Vivian and gently rubbed his head with affection.
"Vivian, do you feel any discomfort?"
"Nope, not at all."
Vivian held onto her mother tightly with a pained expression in her big eyes.
Just then, Louis spoke up in a gentle voice, "When the accident happened, you hugged Vivian tightly so she wasn't hurt."
Hearing this made Jane's gaze darken slightly. During the accident when they were sitting next to each other in the car, he had also protected her by hugging her close.
But now that her memories had returned, she didn't want to continue their relationship. She believed that they only remained entangled together because of her amnesia...
At that moment, Vivian who was snuggled up against Jane suddenly looked up and carefully touched the wound on Jane's forehead.
"Mommy, does it hurt?"
Jane shook her head gently and said warmly, "I'm fine. Did you get scared, Vivian?"
Vivian shook his head lightly before turning towards Louis who also had a wound on his forehead. She leaned over towards Jane's ear and whispered softly.
"After the nurse saved me, I saw Daddy holding you tightly."
"Nurse said if Daddy hadn't protected you, then you might have been injured on your face."
"Thank goodness Daddy is smart enough to protect you, or else you wouldn't be pretty anymore."
Hearing this made Jane unconsciously clench her hand while complex emotions filled her lowered gaze. She would find time later on to thank Louis for saving her, but as for their relationship... it should end here.
As these thoughts ran through her mind, she tightened her grip on the quilt before raising an eye towards the man standing at the door.
At this moment, Louis was not dressed in his usual suit, but instead wore a hospital gown.
In fact, Jane had noticed Louis when Louis walked in with Vivian, she just chose to ignore him.
But now that she looked again, Jane couldn't calm down at all.
The man's hand was wrapped in a bandage which hung around his neck. There was also a bandage on his forehead where there was an obvious wound that needed treatment.
As for whether there were any other injuries under his hospital gown, Jane didn't know.
Jane had planned to speak up now, but when she met the deep and worried blue eyes of the man in front of her, she suddenly couldn't say anything.
She pursed her lips and asked gently, "How are you?"
