Chapter 405
Everyone was now assembled, and Julie, knocking on the door with a smile, announced in a louder and jubilant voice, "Madam, Louisa and your granddaughters have come to see you!"
"Come in," came a kind voice from inside the room.
After opening the door, Julie stepped aside.
The old woman on the hospital bed looked dignified and elegant. She seemed to be glowing, full of life.
"Mom, you’re finally awake—"
Unable to contain their excitement, Kenneth and Louisa rushed forward and embraced her, tears of joy streaming down their faces.
Cornelia Collins, smiling, her eyes radiating maternal warmth and love, said, "Why are you crying?"
"Mom, you and Dad have been unconscious for so long. It scared us," Louisa said with tears in her eyes. "You don’t know how long we’ve been hoping for you and Dad to wake up, and finally, the day has come."
Kenneth was also choking up, his voice hoarse, "You and Dad have suffered."
"Suffered? We just closed our eyes and ignored the world, but—" Cornelia lovingly looked at the two in front of her, "you must be tired, having to worry about us and take care of the family."
As Louisa’s tears flowed, Cornelia turned to her son. "Kenneth, what are you standing there for? Your wife is crying—don’t you have some tissues?"
