"What happened to Dad, Mommy?"
"I'm not sure, but maybe your dad was just so surprised by what I said that he suddenly passed out."
"Mom, do you think Dad's alright? Do you think he might need some rest?"
Victor slowly opened his eyes as he heard the soft voices around him....
The first thing he saw was his wife and their two children, gathered around him while he lay in bed.
Venice was the first to notice that he was awake, her eyes widening in excitement.
"Daddy, you're finally awake!" she exclaimed.
Rina and Venedict both turned to look at him as well.
Victor, however, couldn't bring himself to meet Rina's gaze, feeling his face flush with embarrassment from fainting after she had unexpectedly kissed him.
"H-how long was I passed out?" he asked, rubbing his head, still unable to look directly at Rina.
