Chapter 394: Awakening
Prince Leonard walked into the room without knocking while dragging me behind him. I didn’t know what to expect, but to see Roxanna sitting up on her hospital bed with her gaze directed in our direction wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.
“Roxanna!” Prince Leonard called her name loudly as he went to stand right at her bedside.
The doctor and the nurses quickly made way for the prince. It was clear that now wasn’t the right time for them to give a medical report on Roxanna’s current condition. With a dismissive nod from the prince the entire medical team silently made their way out of the room. I couldn’t stop staring at Roxanna’s face as I found it very shocking that she had suddenly regained consciousness. It was truly surprising, but I guessed that miracles can really happen.
Now I understood why Prince Leonard had rushed all the way over here right after receiving the call and what he meant when he said that he needed to see this for himself. I was certain that it was also hard for the prince to believe that she had woken up without seeing it with his own eyes. I thought that I didn’t quite belong, so I decided to give the two of them space for their long-awaited reunion. I felt a heavy feeling in my chest as I watched the two of them embrace each other as a prince leaned down so that she could wrap her arms around his back.
Although the prince had explained to me about their friendship, I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable deep in my chest. I didn’t want to admit to myself that I was feeling jealous of her and their reunion, given how ridiculous and unreasonable it was. I knew very well that I should be rejoicing along with the prince for the recovery of one of his friends instead of feeling such unjustifiable emotions. Despite that, it felt better for me to keep my distance from them.
“I can’t believe that you’ve finally woken up...” Prince Leonard said with clear joy and his voice.
“Was I asleep for that long?” Roxanna asked before letting out a soft laugh.
“You really have no idea? You were asleep for far too long...” Prince Leonard replied.
I had very mixed feelings as I continued to observe their conversation. The prince dragged a chair to the side of her bed before sitting down on it. It felt like they were absorbed in their own private little world in which I didn’t have a place in. I had no idea why Prince Leonard dragged me along with him when it might have been better for him to come here alone so that he could spend time catching up with her.
