After hearing the news and getting here, they had thought that they were going to meet her still in her coma and couldn't believe the miracle that had just happened.
Lily also followed them out of the room happily while glancing back at her sister with tears still streaming down her face. This is just like a dream. She had thought that she had lost her sister forever and was all surprised after hearing the shocking news yesterday.
Her thoughts wandered to Jack and his parents who are also on their way here from the airport as he had gone back to City H to pick them up and she sighed happily.
After everyone had left the room, Carl whose soft gaze was still fixed on the girl chuckled with a happy sigh and he carefully hugged her.
"Thank you, my love... Thank you so much for waking up," he muttered gratefully and sighed again while listening to her soft breathing.
"Carl... How long have I been sleeping?" Clara sniffed as she slowly looked up at him after some time... She could remember fainting after speaking to him on the phone and regaining her memories.
And she could also remember those distant voices that kept floating in her head when she was unconscious and those recurring nightmares that took like forever.
Carl stared down at her with a chuckled and slowly pecked her on the lips. "Thirteen months, you have been sleeping for thirteen months..." He replied softly with a smile and then watched as her eyes widened slightly.
"Th... Thirteen months?" Clara stammered in shock and watched as he slowly nodded.
Her eyes slowly wandered around the very unfamiliar room and after some seconds, she turned her attention down to her left hand and she smiled softly while staring down at the huge diamond ring on her finger.
"Carl..." She slowly looked up at the guy whose eyes had never left her face.
"Let's get married, Carl" She muttered softly as her voice was slowly becoming louder and Carl nodded with a happy sigh.
"Mm... Let's get married," he also said softly then placed a soft lingering kiss on her forehead, then continued hugging her.

__ Four Days Later __
The whole mansion was bustling with the laughter and chatters of servants as they go back and forth with so many boxes that contains many decorations in their hands.
They were all preparing happily for the wedding that would take place in two days time.
The large garden around the waterfall where the wedding would be held at, was being decorated with more flowers and several chairs and tables were being arranged in the place by the servants.
Maya who had arrived the day before yesterday with her husband was rushing toward the swing close to the waterfall while some servants were hurrying behind her as they held several boxes that contains different colors of fabrics and one of them was also holding a photo album in her hands.
"Clara... Stand up, I need to take your measurement..." She muttered excitedly while stopping in front of the couple who were silently watching the waterfall on the swing.
"Oh... Okay..." Clara smiled softly at the anxious girl then carefully got down from the swing while being helped by Carl.
And Maya quickly grabbed a measuring tape from one of the servants and started taking her friend's measurement who had lost a lot of weight.
After she was done, she turned to the servants and gestured them to show her the fabrics while extending the photo album toward her.
"What style of dress would you like? Mira had already chosen hers and also pick the color, they're all inside here..." She muttered quickly while writing down the measurements on a paper.
"I want this..." Clara pointed at one of the fabrics with a soft smile, seeing that her friend was in a hurry.
"Where's your baby?" She softly asked after watching her closed the book.
"Oh, he's with Ken... I hope he doesn't start crying now... I have a lot of things to do... " Maya replied rapidly while helping the servants put the fabrics back into the boxes.
She had to get to work immediately and also had to go to the company she had once worked at here, to start designing the dresses.
"Oh," Clara nodded slowly then Carl carefully helped her up on the swing again. "I bet you'll__"
She didn't get to finish her words when a loud cry was suddenly heard from a distance and their heads snapped in a far direction.
"Sister-in-law... He's crying again... I think he needs milk." Gina panted heavily as she paused in front of Maya while holding a small baby in her hands.
"Urgh! Where's his father?" Maya sighed exasperatedly and quickly took the baby then started rocking him. "I just fed him some minutes ago... I don't think he needed milk, he's just sleepy," She muttered hurriedly then shoved the baby in Carl's hands.
"Gina, let's go you have to accompany me to the company, where's Lucy?" She grabbed Gina's hands while the servants walked away with the boxes.
"She's waiting in the car already..." Gina replied quickly and they bid the couple goodbye then hurried away.
After the two girls left, Clara turned her attention to the baby and carefully took him from Carl's hands with a soft smile.
"Carl, Maya's baby is so cute..." She muttered softly while rocking the baby who was slightly dozing off and Carl nodded with a chuckle as his gaze was also fixed on the baby.
"I can't wait to see how our baby would look like..." She added with a soft giggle and Carl pecked her cheek.
"Mm... I'm sure our baby would look just like you..." He said with a chuckle and Clara slowly shook her head with a small smile. She wants their babies to look like him.
"Carl... Which one do you prefer? a girl or a boy?" She softly asked after some minutes as they now stared ahead at the waterfall while the baby slept soundly.
