Ch. 180: A Farewell [2]

Not long after Nathaniel informed the others about Adrian regaining consciousness, the door burst open, revealing Aerilyn accompanied by a group of physicians. Overwhelmed with emotions, she rushed toward his son, tears streaming down her face as she tightly embraced him, unable to contain her joy and relief. 

Eventually, Aerilyn composed herself and allowed the physicians to attend to Adrian's needs. As they finished their examination and left the room, the others respectfully exited as well, leaving Adrian and Aerilyn alone, granting them a moment of much-needed privacy. 

The room was filled with a heavy silence. Aerilyn seated next to Adrian's bed, fixated her eyes on their intertwined fingers. Her gaze appeared distant and weariness etched deeply on her face, making her features seem dull and exhausted. Somehow, Adrian could vividly imagine the immense worry and stress his mother had endured during his unconsciousness.
