Part 309

At least Canary was going to be okay.

Lisa's head nodded forward, her chin dipping towards her chest.

Her hands, still clasped around Canary's, relaxed slightly as she drifted off to sleep.

The hospital room was quiet, the only sound the steady beeping of the machines monitoring Canary's vital signs.

Lisa's gentle snores blended in with the hum of the equipment, creating a soothing background noise.

Canary, still unconscious, lay peacefully, his hand wrapped in Lisa's.

It was as if he sensed her presence, even in his sleep.

As the night wore on, the hospital room remained calm, the only disturbance the occasional nurse coming in to check on Canary's condition.

Canary slowly opened his eyes, groggily taking in his surroundings.

He was in a hospital room, and Lisa was sleeping beside him, her hands wrapped around his.

He smiled weakly, feeling a warmth in his heart. Lisa had stayed with him the whole time, even when he was unconscious.

Canary gently squeezed Lisa's hands, trying not to wake her. But Lisa stirred, her eyes fluttering open.

"Hey," Canary whispered, his voice hoarse from disuse.

Lisa's eyes widened, and she sat up straight, her hands still wrapped around Canary's.

"You're awake!" she exclaimed, tears of joy welling up in her eyes.

Canary smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. "I'm awake," he repeated, his voice a little stronger now. His face was pale and his lips were dry but he still looked handsome.

Lisa leaned forward, her face inches from Canary's and cupped his face.. "I was so scared," she whispered, her voice trembling.

Canary's eyes locked onto Lisa's, and he felt a deep connection to her. "I'm sorry," he whispered back. "I'm so sorry you had to go through that."

Lisa's face crumpled, and she hugged him tightly sobbing uncontrollably.

Canary was surprised bu her behavior, care and concern but he slowly wrapped his arms around her, holding her close as she cried.

" All is well.." He spoke to her.
