Rose gradually became aware of her surroundings as her senses returned to her brain. And there was no memory loss, let alone amnesia, since she could still access the information in her brain.
It was just that she wasn't fully awake yet, so her reaction was a little slow. But when she heard Gabrielle's words, she was immediately amused.
"I..."
"Rose didn't lose her memory. Her consciousness is completely clear. It's just that she hasn't fully come back to her senses yet." Doctor Maniac's voice filled the room before Rose could fully open her mouth to speak.
Gabrielle could only let out a sigh of relief after hearing Doctor Maniac's words.
The fact that Rose was fine wiped away all of her anxious feelings.
"Rose, so great to see you're okay. I had been looking forward to your waking up. Since you just woke up, you should rest well. We'll come to visit you tonight." Gabrielle didn't want to disturb Rose's rest time, so she dragged Michelle and quickly got out of the room.
Michelle was completely dumbfounded as she still couldn't figure out the whole situation. It was no surprise her brain was still unable to process. Michelle was dragged by Gabrielle to see someone she didn't know, and then again, she was dragged away before she could get to know the other person.
'What exactly is going on?' Michelle couldn't help but ponder.
"Gabrielle, is the girl who just woke up your friend?" Michelle could only rely on herself to slowly understand what was going on.
"She is. How about we go to the beach for a walk? I'm in a pretty good mood now." As she said, Gabrielle led Michelle to the outside of the villa area.
The building was built on the seaside, which was very close to the sea. They could get to the beach by just walking out of the building. But Gabrielle hadn't come here before because, after all, the beach was a private area of the villa. There were usually no tourists around or enough facilities, so this beach was not as fun as the tourist attraction area.
But Gabrielle desperately wanted to go for a run at the beach now that Rose was finally awake.
Not only did she feel relieved, but many other emotions were also running through her heart right now that she couldn't put into words. So she decided to take a stroll on the beach.
"Sounds great. Let's go." Michelle wanted to enjoy the seaside as well, so she agreed to Gabrielle's idea. Hand in hand, she and Gabrielle walked towards the sea.
Upon arriving, Gabrielle threw off her shoes, ran around the beach in excitement, and then soaked in the water.
"I'm so happy that Rose wakes up." Gabrielle shouted out her feeling in the direction of the vast sea.
Michelle stood nearby, kicking the sand on the beach while listening to Gabrielle's shouting.
It seemed that this friend was very important to Gabrielle, for she was so overjoyed right now.
"Whoosh!" Gabrielle looked at Michelle, her eyes filled with delight, once she was done shouting.
"Michelle, Rose finally woke up. She got injured and went into a coma because of me. Only when she's awake can I really rest assured. Otherwise, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life." Gabrielle felt as if a big weight had been lifted from her shoulders.
"It's okay, Gabrielle. Rose's woken up, hasn't she?" Michelle said in earnest, holding her hand.
"I know. I'll be devastated if she hasn't. I simply can't stand it. It's like a giant stone is pressing down on my heart, suffocating me, you know. I'm feeling a wave of relief now that Rose's awake. It feels so great. Do you know that feeling?" Gabrielle looked at Michelle happily and asked.
Michelle's life was naturally smooth sailing as a girl born in a wealthy and influential family, and her relationships with her friends were no exception. So, she had never experienced such a thing.
