The morning sun was bright and warm.
The moment Pei Ge entered the ward, she spotted her mother being bathed in the sun's golden glow; this made her pale face appear healthier.
"Mom, how do you feel today?"
"I feel very good. Rather, Ge Ge, you have suffered the past few years."
After talking to her mother about these past five years' events, she realized that, while her mother had been in a coma, she was still cognizant of her surroundings. She might be unable to see everything herself, but she could still hear people's conversations.
"Mom, I've made you worry all along… haven't I?"
Her eyes reddened, not having expected her mother to know about her sufferings and struggles.
"Yes, lass… you've truly suffered."
Her mother placed her hands against her face. Although they were boney and slightly cold, they warmed her heart.
At that moment, she felt safe and secure.
