Day Eighty-One…
~~*****~~
Mia regained consciousness. Though her body was still frail, she could now speak. After running several tests, the doctor confirmed that Mia's condition had improved and she was recovering well. Her test results were all normal.
"Hello, Baby… how do you feel?" Jane softly asked Mia.
Mia smiled at her, her small hand reaching for her face. "Mommy… I feel weak."
The young girl wanted Jane to hug her. Jane embraced Mia as she stroked her hair.
"Mommy, I'm sorry. This is my fault. I got into an accident after running away." Mia apologized to Jane. "I thought I would never see you again. I was so scared, Mommy."
"I was afraid of losing you, Mia. I was scared to death too. But starting today, I'll protect you with my life. I love you, Baby." Jane didn't hold back in expressing how much she cared for Mia.
