章 51: Chapter Fifty One.

Alex's POV -

"Cora smiled, her toothy grin causing her parents to laugh out loud. She told them she loved them whilst all three went to the nearest store to buy hot chocolate and marshmallows." I read softly, my eyes scanning over the text from the children's story book. Ariana is propped up against her hospital bed, her grey eyes slightly heavy due to her drugged up state. There's the faintest smile on her face, her shoulders slumped and relaxed into the pillows.

"Cora should be lucky she has such great parents." Ariana murmurs, her words croaky. I shake my head, smiling in her direction.

"Si hermosa, do you want me to continue?" I ask her, holding the hard backed book up in the air. Ariana nods but the door suddenly opens, cutting me off from continuing.

"Oh my god, Ariana!"

"Oh sweetheart, you're alive!"
