[: Daniel POV :]
As we awaited the Ice Saint's return to consciousness, Bella turned to me with a voice choked by tears and questioned, "Daniel..., what's going on?"
Her curiosity and anxiety were palpable, but she didn't shy away from seeking answers.
I took a moment, carefully selecting my words, and eventually replied, "I'm reviving your mother,"
I reiterated, fully aware of the incredulity of the situation.
Her immediate reaction was just as expected.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, her brows furrowed as if what I had just said defied all logic.
It was understandable, considering the Tear of Phoenix was an exceedingly rare treasure, possibly unheard of by most.
"Reviving...?"
She repeated the word, her expression shifting from incredulity to a mixture of hope, confusion, and anticipation.
The concept was so foreign and surreal that it was difficult for her to wrap her mind around it.
