After leaving Becky, Aron intended to go to Isla and tell her his whole plan. However, he received a call from the hospital. He changed his mind and hurried there instead.
He panicked when he saw Mike crying silently on the bench outside the ward. "Mike, what happened?" he asked, dashing to Mike.
"Aron..." Mike looked up, grabbing Aron's hand immediately. "Your grandmother..." she..."
"What's wrong with her? Tell me now!" Aron urged anxiously.
"She has woken up, " Mike replied. Aron was relieved when he heard this. "Isn't it good news?" he asked
"Yes, it is. I just didn't expect her to wake up today." Mike answered, wiping his tears. "I am weeping with joy."
"Is she alright?" Aron asked with concern.
"The doctor is doing some tests on her inside. This time, we need to show our gratitude to Arthur, " Mike said, still holding his hand. He now felt extremely grateful that Aron pushed for this surgery.
As soon as Arthur walked out of the ward, Aron came forward. "Doctor Zhao, how is she doing? Is she alright?"
"Don't worry. She is fine, " Arthur said, taking off his mask. "But she is weak now. She needs good rest without being interrupted. Otherwise, she will be in danger again." he continued.
"You can go inside now."
Aron and Mike hurried inside. When Aron walked past Arthur, he said "Thank you!".
When they entered the room, they saw Joanna lying on the bed with her eyes open. Mike walked up to her and took her hand. "Anna, you finally woke up."
Mike seldom called her by her nickname. When he saw Joanna now up and conscious, he couldn't hide his happiness.
"You have lost so much weight, " Joanna said, reaching her hand to touch Mike's face. "I'm sorry. You must have been terrified these days."
"What are you talking about? You've woken up and it's the best news for me, " Mike responded, with tears trickling down his cheek. "Are you hungry? How about I go get you something to eat?" Mike asked as he dried his tears.
"I'm not hungry." Joanna answered. Tired as she was, she lay on the bed looking pale. Noticing this, Aron poured a cup of water for her immediately. "Here, drink some water, grandma, " he said.
"Grandma just woke up. How about we leave to let her have some more rest?" he advised, turning to Mike.
