After breakfast Elisa accompanied them back to their room, and called Eudora to talk in private
"What do you think about living with me?" She had a worried look in her face, Elisa knew it was a very sudden request, but she was growing old and maybe having a kid Eudora's age would help her on her lonely days " I know uts a bit unexpected and tou have just woken from a comatose, but I ho you could think about it, you will be in the hospital for some time there is no need to rush this decision" Elisa was clearly very anxious "So, just put some thought in it"
Elisa was a perfect option for her future, but she didnt wanted to seem desperate to found a home, it would look very suspicious, she was supposed to be a naive 15 Year old girl,I mean 16?, well she was going with Elisa she just wasn't telling her till near future
" I will think about Elisa, we can know each other better for the next few months"
Time sure flies when you are in peace, two month went by a flash. Elisa passed by to spend some time with Eudora and Romeo everyday even twice a day, she was very happy about it.Dr.Ezra came twice a day spent little time at maximum 15 minutes, but it was enough to Eudora feel cared for. James still hadn't woken, he was the only thing worrying Eudora right now, what if this boy never opened his eyes again, what about Romeo, woul he be sent to a orphanage and suffer like she did? She couldn't let that happen, that's too awful for this sweet boy who never even got a scratch. What could she do for him? It would burden Elisa too much to take her and the little one in, she knew Elisa would accept but she could never do that to that lovely old lady.
Days went on and after one nore month in the care of Elisa she finally accept leave with her, Elisa enter with the adoption request and now they just had to wait for a positive answer from the government. On a hot summer day, Eudora was reading to Romeo and James when the boy in the bed showed signs of waking up, she was on cloud nine, the thing that made her worry the most was now detaching the knot in her heart. She hurriedly called for Dr.Ezra who happily walked to the room.
When they got back James was embracing Romeo tightly with tears on his cheeks.
After a check up James was told to keep resting and Eudora took Romeo out to eat.
" Big sis, Romeo is super happy you know, daddy woke up, and soon we will be able to go home again" the little boy was smiling ear to ear since James woke up, they didn't really have a long time to talk but seeing his daddy with his eyes opened for the first time in a while was enough for the boy.They went back to the roo, James was sound sleep, he was in a very weak state after waking up, the total opposite of Eudora, she though that was the system doing, protecting her body to be in peak state while rebooting and restarting her.
"Miss Eudora, may we talk?" Dr.Ezra called her out " Its about James"
"I tought he was just fine after waking up" she said with her almond eyes curiously looking ate the Doc
"He is not" The dr. seemed to be slightly sad "He wont make it, he has just a sliver of life left" Eudora was shocked
"What about Romeo and why are you saying this to me, I suppose disclosuring a patient information is not okay" she was so nervous she talked as fast as she could, she was traumatized about orphanages and didnt wanted Romeo the same
"James asked me to talk with you, while you and the little one was away I spoke with James and told him how well you and Romeo were doing together, and how you read for them every day" the doctor was moved, almost in tears, she was too kind for his own good and probably on the wrong work place.
"James was happy about Romeo making a friend when he was passed out, he is very conscious about his situation an knows he wont live for long" at this point Ezra tears escaped his eyes and his voice was slowly turning into a cry " He dont want to live him alone, she asked me to talk with you about, be coming Romeo big sister on paper so you can be legally responsible for Romeo and his heritage when James is no more"
"I want to" she didt eve thought of the consequences of accepting the responsibility of a little child, she just wants to be there for Romeo" but how can he trust me? I'm a total stranger, doesn't Romeo has no more family alive?"
"It's complicated" The doctor said with a strange expression " I think is better for you to talk with James about it, but please do it tomorrow, James is very weak right now and can't be awake for longer than two hours a day" what is the doctor so attached to James and Romeo? this picked her curiosity.
"Sure doc. Is there anything else?"
"No, I shall take my leave now, I'm sorry for burden you, I really am" the doctor turned his back and heavily walked away
Eudora went back to her roo where Romeo was curiously looking after his daddy, She got on her bed and stayed there until she felt sleep.
