Hope opened her eyes and found Ethan beside her. He was sitting next to her bed on a chair, with his head hanging low.
But, when he caught a small movement from Hope, he raised his head as his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Hope!" he exclaimed. He moved to sit down on the edge of her bed and watched her blinking her eyes sleepily. "Finally you are awake! I thought I will never get to talk with you again."
Hope tried to sit down and Ethan immediately helped her.
"How long have I been passed out?" Hope leaned her back against the pillows that Ethan arranged for her and observed her surroundings. She recognized this place. This was her room with Kace. "Where is Kace?"
"You have been passed out for almost two weeks," Ethan answered ina concerned tone. "How are you feeling now?" he asked again and stood up before walking to the table and poured a glass of water.
