Chapter 134: Can I hug you?

Lucy?

Zaria was puzzled at the mention of the name. Had he been dreaming about Lucy? Before she could ask, she wondered whether he had felt Lucy's presence when he was still in coma. She had heard of patients hearing things around them while unconscious, so she suspected that Theodore had heard Lucy's voice and felt her presence. This made her amused and awed.

Just how much did he love her, that he would still recognize her even when unconscious? She should have guessed it earlier. Theodore was even willing to give up their dreams in Luxenville just to follow Lucy to Imperium. How could that love have faded?

Besides, she was certain that Lucy cared about Theodore. If not, she would not have risked whatever it was that was holding her back just to catch a glimpse of him in hospital.
