Chapter 1782: Giving Them Time
"Finally awake." The doctors were all smiles, relieved, and began a thorough examination.
Old Mills was filled with tears, overwhelmed with emotions.
At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Trevor and Janelle came in. Seeing many doctors surrounding the bed and Mia Lane present, their hearts sank and feet stopped, fearing Sister Sterling was in critical condition.
They rushed forward anxiously, only to see the person who had been lying on the bed for days finally opening her eyes.
"My Sister Sterling!" Janelle Mills was so thrilled she jumped three feet high, "You, you, you finally woke up!!" She spun around and jumped into Trevor’s arms.
Trevor was equally delighted, lifted her up, and twirled around in the spacious room!
Nathan Mills looked at the person who had finally awakened and couldn’t hold back his tears, wiping them as they fell.
Carlotta Sterling’s nose tingled, and she reached out a hand to him with some effort.
The middle-aged man hurriedly sat by the bedside and grasped her hand, "Carlotta..." His emotions were uncontrollable.
Meanwhile, the doctors were doing detailed checks, all the data on the instrument were particularly stable, and eventually, a doctor announced –
"The patient’s vital signs are stable, keep a good mood, rest more, there’s still some time needed for recovery."
"Thank you, Doctor." Janelle Mills bowed deeply, expressing her gratitude, "Thank you all."
This moment they had waited for too long.
"You’re welcome, just be sure to rest well." The doctors gradually left.
Janelle Mills turned her gaze to Mia Lane and walked toward her, "Mrs. Kingston." Janelle felt embarrassed to call her Mia anymore, as she was her future sister-in-law.
But the title Mrs. Kingston sounded too distant...
Mia Lane also stepped forward, "Brother, Janelle." She took the girl’s hand, "Why not call me Mia from now on, we’re about the same age."
Janelle Mills smiled, "Mia, thank you." The surgery was performed by her, saving Sister Sterling’s life, and this gratitude beyond words.
"You’re welcome, it’s a doctor’s duty to save lives."
Mia Lane smiled and turned her eyes, looking at Old Mills and Sister Sterling, then at the young couple in front, speaking softly, "I’ll go see Ethan." Then, she stepped out.
Trevor hugged Janelle’s shoulders and said to the couple not far away, "Uncle, Aunt, we have some things to attend to, we’ll come back later."
Afterwards, Janelle was pulled away by Trevor, clearly intending to give the two in the ward some private space.
Lying on the bed, Carlotta Sterling’s hand still had an infusion, she felt like she’d just had a long dream.
The roses surrounding her and the floral fragrance in the air, coupled with Old Mills’ exhausted look, made her heart heavy.
"Carlotta, does it still hurt?" Nathan Mills asked lovingly, looking at her deeply, wishing he could share a piece of her pain.
Carlotta Sterling gently shook her head, "These days... have you been here all along?" Her voice was a bit hoarse from not speaking for a while.
Old Mills smiled, deliberately appearing relaxed, "I’ve been here, Trevor’s been here, Janelle’s been here. We took turns resting occasionally, but it wasn’t tiring at all."
She slowly glanced around, "These flowers..."
"All the roses you like, I wanted you to smell the fragrance, staying happy even in your dreams..."
In fact, she dreamt several times of being in a vast sea of roses.
