Beep!! Beep!! Margaux woke up to the sound of the heart monitor beside her. She had fallen into a deep sleep. She couldn't believe she fell into a deep sleep in her mothers state. She couldn't really blame herself as she didn't really get any sleep since the past day and she had been crying a lot but it was still hard for her to believe she fell deeply asleep not waking up once throughout the night. She felt a little embarrassed. She stared at her mother and listened to her heavy breathing under the oxygen mask. She was still lying in the same position since last night. Holding her mothers hand her thoughts shifted to the person who was said to have helped them. " Who is this person? What is their motive behind helping them? She would have to ask the doctor for more information on who the person is later and if the doctor refuses to tell her she would have to wait for her mother to wake up and only hope her mother has an idea on who the person could be. Margaux thoughts were interrupted as she felt her mothers fingers move slightly in her hand. She immediately stood up as her heart began to beat rapidly.
"Mum?" she called almost whispering as she stared at her mom's pale face. She felt the grip on her hand tighten once more as her mothers eyes opened slowly.
"Mum! you are awake" she said excitedly, her voice trembling and tears streaming down her eyes. She quickly hugged her mother lightly.
" Mum? are you okay?" Margaux asked. "Wait, let me get the doctor" She said as she jolted out to get the doctor. The doctor immediately came inside the room and asked Margaux to stay outside while they check up on her mother. Margaux waited outside inpatiently while nervously biting her fingernails and tapping her feet on the ground as she walked back and forth in front of the room. She was only relieved when the doctor came out accompanied by 2 nurses. "Doctor? How is she?" Margaux said almost immediately as beads of sweat formed on her face.
"She's fine but she still needs to rest so i advised you not to disturb her" The doctor said assuring Margaux.
Margaux sighed and went into her mothers room and found her sleeping again. She decided to go home, have her bath, get changed and get some food for her mother before she wakes up. She leaves the hospital and goes home even though she was scared to, she figured her mom would need to eat something when she wakes up so she decided to just go. Margaux left the hospital and came back 2 hours later and was greeted by her mother now awake, slightly sitted on the hospital bed and smiling gently with some man she had never met or recognize. Her mother seemed to be quite close with the man as they were both fondling each other with her mums hand intertwined with the man's. The man slightly brushed her mothers cheeks and her mother blushed. They acted like a newly wedded couple. They were enjoying each other companies so much that they didn't even notice when Margaux came in.
"Hmm" Margaux cleared her throat and her mothers attention immediately switched to her. Her mothers pale face now had a little splash of colour, her eyes twinkled as she smiled at Margaux.
"Mom, thank God you are awake, i was so worried about you. See i brought you food. I figured you would be hungry so i went home and brought you food" Margaux rambled on totally forgetting about the man in the room with them.
"Margaux?thank you, i am fine"Her mother interrupted"Besides, your uncle bought me food already"
Hearing this, Margaux eyes opened wide. "Un..Uncle?" She stuttered as she turned to face the man in the room with them.
