Linda clapped her hands in delight, "That's great, thank you, Violet."
Violet shook her head, "No need to thank me, I should be the one to thank you guys, if it wasn't for you guys accompanying me, I really couldn't walk away from the pain of Stanley's disappearance, maybe Jimmy ......Well, let's not talk about this, all this is in the past. When Stanley gets better, we'll treat you guys to dinner."
"Good, then we'll be waiting for you and Mr. Murphy's invitation." Linda said with a smile.
Violet gave a nod.
After that, the two talked for a while longer before ending the call.
Putting down her phone, Violet returned to the ward, walked to the hospital bed and sat down, then took Stanley's hand and fell asleep on the bed as well.
Two days later, Henry finished his examination of Stanley.
Violet walked him out, and by the way, talked to him for a while about Stanley's situation, mainly asking why Stanley hadn't woken up yet.
Henry pushed up his glasses and was about to say something, but Calvin's excited voice came out of the ward, "Mommy, Daddy's awake!"
Hearing these words, Violet's mind was first dangling, and then what came up was strong excitement.
Stanley is awake!
Violet couldn't be bothered to talk to Henry and turned to run to the ward.
Henry followed as well.
In the ward, Stanley was lying on the bed, both eyes open, and was gently stroking Calvin's little head with his hand.
Hearing the voice, Stanley turned his head and looked at Violet whose eyes were red and watering. His eyes were gentle with a hint of guilt, "I'm sorry for making you worry, Honey."
When he had just woken up, Calvin had told him that he had been in a coma for many days, and Violet had worried about him for many days without much sleep.
Now looking at the dark circles under Violet's eyes and her thin face, he knew that not only had she not slept well, she hadn't even eaten well either.
Violet bit her lip as tears flowed out of her eyes, happy and excited.
Stanley took his hand away from Calvin's head and reached over to her.
When Violet saw it, she sniffled before putting her own hand on it.
Stanley tightened her hand and squeezed it gently, "You have lost your weight."
"Well ......" Violet couldn't hold back any longer and flung herself directly into his arms, crying out.
Knowing how she was feeling right now, Stanley gently hugged her, patting her back and whispering in her ear over and over again that he was sorry.
He knew that his disappearance and coma had freaked her
out.
Henry and Calvin looked at each other.
Henry carried him off the hospital bed, and then stood by the wall not far away, watching the two, not disturbing their warmth.
Only when Violet's sobs had gradually subsided did Henry clap his hands, "Alright, Violet, stop crying for now and let me check Stanley's eyesight and whether there are any problems with his joints."
When Stanley didn't wake up, these naturally couldn't be diagnosed.
Now he woke up, and Henry wanted to have a check.
Violet wiped her tears and gave a nod, "Okay, go ahead."
With that, she was about to step aside.
But he was pulled by Stanley, "Just stay here."
