Congratulations

When Madeline opened her hazy eyes again, the first thing her blurry vision took notice of was the familiar ceiling. Blinking spontaneously till her vision eventually adjusted to the light of her surroundings, Samantha could hear soft whispering voices speaking right beside her.

"I think she's awake!"

"Is she?"

"Ah! Thank heavens!"

"Don't frighten her, she needs to calm herself first." Said a concerned voice followed by the soft clicking of footsteps.

Among the mixed voices that kept murmuring to themselves, two voices sounded familiar to her ears, and when she turned her head to see who it was that conversed by her side, Elaine was sitting at the edge of the bed, her hands stretched out as she palmed Madeline's left cheek, and she asked.

"My dear, how are you feeling?"
