Amelia froze, her happiness evaporating in an instant. She pulled back, staring at Nick in shock. He wasn't thinking about her—he was thinking about Olivia. The realization hit her like a punch to the gut. She'd been so hopeful, so sure that Nick would wake up and everything would be okay. But even in this state, his thoughts were with Olivia, not her.
Her heart felt like it was shattering into pieces. How could he still be thinking about Olivia, after everything that had happened? Amelia bit her lip, trying to hold back the sob that threatened to escape. She couldn't let herself break down here, not now.
Just then, the door opened, and Mrs. Zhao walked in. Her eyes widened when she saw Nick's eyes open. "He's awake?" she asked, rushing to the bedside.
Amelia forced herself to nod, her voice hollow. "Yes… he's awake."
