28

A day passed but Louise didn't wake up after. She continued to sleep.

Her brows furrowed like she was having a nightmare.

Her body writhed like she was in pain and eventually grunted.

"Noooo!!!" She screamed and jerked awake.

Augustus and Lucia were guarding by her side for day and night heard her.

Lucia rushed towards the bed, panicking.

"Louise?" Lucia called out.

"Water..." She asked in a hoarse voice.

"Okay. I will get you water." Lucia frantically headed to the mini refrigerator and pulled out a bottled water then placed on the heater.

Augustus didn't move from the sofa. He stared at the newly awoke woman with a piercing gaze.

Louise being stared at like that turned her head towards where he seated.

"C-can y-you help me up?" She asked in a hoarse voice.

This made the man frown. Her voice was like a scrapping sound of sand paper but the man stood up and walked towards her.

He looked at her with scrutiny.

So she has a light green orbs. Beautiful like a gem.

Her gaze contain purity like a baby.

Louise didn't know why but she has an inexplicable sense of security with the man. She didn't feel repulsed by his presence.

The man helped her up and piled the pillows at her back.

"Thank you." She said.

"Don't talk." He said.

Louise looked up and saw his well-defined countenance and she nodded.

Lucia came back with a mug containing lukewarm water.

She helped her drink and the woman drank it hastily.

"Slowly. No one will fight with you. Just slowly." Lucia coaxed.

Louise smiled.

Augustus was taken aback of how beautiful she is when smiling.

"Are you hungry?" Lucia asked.

Louise nodded.

Augustus walked to the side and summoned Hugo to the bedroom and asked him to prepare porridge.

He then called his own doctor.

"Brandon, come over, she's awake." Augustus hoarsely said on the phone. His agitation was visibly heard. He was not calm as he is on the surface.

Augustus didn't hear a reply but heard something dropped.

After a long while, Brandon who was shocked to the core assented.

***

Brandon who was in the middle of writing a thesis, abruptly stopped. His phone slid down from his palm and fell. He saved his documents and shut the laptop off as he hastily grabbed his white coat and run towards the outside.

He was the one who operated Louise on her stomach and lungs.

After Jonas died, Whitney's men found him and about to be killed but Augustus saved him. He brought him to country S and became his personal doctor.

Almost 5 years of waiting, she's finally awake.
