Chapter 51: Warm hands

A warm hand pats the head of a girl, who's currently lying on a bed. Her face is deathly pale, but her expression shows no pain.

"Next time, if you face several enemies, and you know that you're no match against them, just buy for time." He said.

Her lips curved slightly, as she looks at the man rumbling continuosly beside her.

"Don't waste your energy fighting them head on. Instead, use it to find ways to escape unscathed." He added. But upon seeing her just look at his face, not minding his words, he reprimanded,

"Hey are you listening?" He flicked her forehead and sighed. "Remember this clearly. Buy time as long as possible. I promise, I will be there for you." He said seriously.

"Mm." She said while smiling. "Then I will wait for you if that ever happens again."

"No. Forget that. I won't let that happen again." He said, vowing internally that he'll protect her always.

"Tsk. Can you stop being so serious. It's not as if I'm weak okay? I was just outnumbered. If I weren't, those rebels wouldn't even stand a chance against me." She bragged trying to ease his worries.

"Sigh. Girl, I don't know what to do about you." He shook his head as he smiled, brightening up the surrounding.

He looked at her wound and gently asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"No. Not anymore." She answered.

Their eyes met. Their gaze speaking soundless words of care, spreading warmth in both of their heart.

~~~

Sorcha flinched her eyes a bit as she adjusts to the light upon waking up. The unfamiliar white place alerted her. Her stomach badly aches, but she didn't care about it.

"Where?" She tried speaking, but her voice was raspy making her uncomfortable.

"Lil Sorcha." Aria was the first to notice her. "Call the doctor over." She said to the other man inside the room. After giving instructions, she hurriedly went near her. She looked at her face and held her hand.

"How do you feel? Is your wound painful? Tell mommy if it hurts okay?" She asked worriedly.

Sorcha looked at her in daze. 'Was that a dream?' she asked herself.

Anthony looked at her reaction, and held Aria, making her give way to him.

"Sorcha?" He said, trying to get her attention. Though, it appears that he failed, for she remained as if she couldn't hear anything. He exchanged glances with her wife, and they both held her hand.

"Sorcha? How are you?" Anthony asked.

Finally, Sorcha came back to reality. 'It was indeed a dream.' She said inwardly. 'That place no longer exists, and that man no longer live' Her heart felt so much pain, but she squeezed out a smile for her parents in this world.

She nodded.

The husband and wife could finally sigh in relief.

"Do you feel hungry? I bought some fruits for you." Aria asked.

Sorcha shook her head. "I'm not. Thank you, mom."

"Are you sure you're really okay?" Anthony asked doubtfully.

"Mm. I'm fine." She lied. "I just feel a bit tired."

She reached out for the blanket, feeling a bit cold. She really missed that warm hands of his.

hello guys.

my drafts were all deleted, and I couldn't find a way to recover them.

anyway, do I still have any readers here?

Chapter 52: Discharged

Although it has only been a few days since Sorcha woke up, the doctor said that she can already leave the hospital today.

"You should be fine now." The doctor said. "Normally I wouldn't let patients that have undergone a major operation like you to get discharged after just a few days. It usually takes a few weeks or even a month before they leave the hospital. Though it doesn't count as a miracle, it still sure is a wonder how you could recover really fast." He added.

Aria hummed in agreement. She encountered a lot of soldiers with injuries like that of Sorcha back in the military. If it were just some minor gunshot wounds, then the patient should be fine after some treatment and get released soon. But if the patient's organs were hit, then that's a different story.

"You don't have to come back here to get your stitches removed. It will dissolve itself in time. Although I said that you recover really fast, don't try your luck too much. You still aren't a hundred percent recovered. Remember to avoid strenuous activities for a while, and maintain a proper diet." The doctor paused and then said dryly, "So, that's it. Be more careful in the future."

Sorcha nodded her head. "Thank you doctor."

"No problem. It's my job." Having said that, the doctor left the room.

"Baby, let's go." Aria said. "Oh right, do you have any request for our food tonight? I'm sure you're tired of the bland foods here."

"Anything is fine. As long as it is cooked by you mom, then it's delicious for sure." Sorcha smiled.

"Your mouth is really getting sweeter and sweeter huh." Aria chided her playfully.

"But I'm telling the truth." Sorcha said while looking at her mother seriously. "Everything you cook is delicious."

"Hehe. That's why mommy loves you. Then I'll just cook more dishes later. By the way, your friends have been calling and were asking about you. They said that they didn't get a chance to visit you because of the exams."

With that, Sorcha was reminded that she wasn't able to finish all her exam. She only managed to take two, before the incident happened.

"About that, you don't have to worry. I had a talk with your teachers and they allowed to give you an exception. You'll take your tests in a different time. You should be able to pass them easily. I'm not pressuring you or anything, I just know that those exams doesn't pose a challenge for you."

"Of course." Sorcha cheekily grin.

"That's my girl." Aria laughed at her daughter's arrogance.

Though, Sorcha's arrogance isn't really unfounded. Those exams actually don't pose a challenge to her anymore. Granted that, most of the teachings in her school now are newly introduced to her, it is still basically like a university student answering elementary questions. Who can blame her for her over confidence? She didn't live for more than two decades in her past life for nothing, right?

hehe... hi?

Sorry for not being able to write for hmmm.. months?

Several things happened and so I had to stop writing.

For now I can't promise to give a stable release update. I'm still trying to get more inspiration for writing.

And btw, I am happy when I saw that there are still people who support this novel. Thank you very much!

I am planning to edit this book for a while so please bear with me. If you can also help me find grammatical errors or typos please do. It is highly appreciated.
