"Joshua is awake." Ian's stated, happiness and excitement dancing on his face. At once, the three people rushed to him with Ivy in the lead.
"Ian, is Joshua really awake? How is he? Is he alright? He must be tired and weak. Is he out of danger, or is his condition still critical?" Ivy fired questions at him, and Ian chuckled seeing her relieved yet anxious face. After a day of suffering, finally, there was a twinkle in the girl's eyes. Though her eyes were still red and puffy, it could not hide her joy and relief.
"Ivy, please relax, and I would prefer it if you ask me one question at a time." Ian held her by her shoulder, smiling at her in helplessness.
"Yeah, sorry. It's just I was nervous." Ivy bit her lip, making Ian chuckle lightly.
"I understand, Ivy. You do not have to apologize for it. Joshua is awake. Though he is weak and pale, he is out of danger. But we will keep him under observation for the next seventy-two hours."
