Anna slept late, waking up when it was dark outside.
It was the most restful sleep she had had since the accident.
Amelia stayed by her side, propping her eyes but staying awake, bored out of her mind, but not daring to do anything else.
She was afraid to wake Anna, because after all, this was the last time she had slept peacefully since her accident, and she was afraid to wake her daughter and scare her.
So as soon as Anna woke up, Amelia immediately understood.
"Anna, are you awake?"
Amelia even spoke to her in a thin voice, afraid that if she spoke a little louder it would scare her.
"Mom."
Anna sat up with her head slightly covered and looked at Amelia with confused eyes, "How long have I been asleep?"
"All day. Are you hungry? Can I make you something to eat?"
Anna did not have much appetite for food, but when Amelia asked, the hunger in her belly slowly became evident.
She felt really hungry, so she nodded, "Yes."
Amelia was so happy to hear that she was willing to eat that she got up and prepared to cook for her.
Anna looked left and right and found that she and Amelia were the only two people in the room.
"Mom, where is Matteo?"
Obviously Matteo was here before she fell asleep, but come to think of it, Amelia was guarding the place and it was not so good that Matteo was also here.
"Girl, Matteo has been guarding you for so many days and days and nights without sleep, won't he get tired? As soon as he wakes up, he's looking for him, can't you let him rest some more?"
Hearing this, Anna felt very sorry in her heart.
First the fire, then her own psychological problems had tired Matteo out, and she remembered how Matteo had looked before going to bed, his eyes were bloodshot, there was a big blue stern look under them, and even his normally clean chin had sprouted a new scruff.
Matthew, who was usually so neat and meticulous, had turned into this state for her.
Anna bit her dry lips before saying, "I know mom, I wasn't looking for him, I was just wondering what he was doing."
"Matthew has been very tired for you lately, it's good that you are okay, don't be so scared again, your father and mother are old and their hearts can't take this kind of shock."
"No mom, don't worry, I will take care of myself from now on, and put my emotions properly."
"That's good." Amelia lovingly reached out her hand and stroked her daughter's head, "Then mom will now go and make you dinner."
"Mmm."
When Amelia turned to leave, she bumped into Matthew coming back to the door.
"Matteo? How come you're back so early? Going to sleep some more?"
Matteo was still dressed in the same clothes as before, and instead of looking better, he looked more tired, and the black-green color under his eyes was worse than before.
The boy, hadn't he been told to go to bed? Where had he been all day?
Matthew, however, replied in a soft voice, "I'm rested, I'll leave it to me, you can rest, mom."
Amelia waved her hand, "Then you can talk, I will prepare something to eat and bring it to you later."
Anna had been looking outside expectantly since she heard Matthew's voice, and when she saw Matthew approaching, she lifted the covers and tried to stand up, but Matthew took her hand in his.
