Chapter 1003 - He is back (2/2)

Aiden observed her left forearm. His index finger traced the faint scar of the recent bullet wound, the one she got when she protected Ron.

Sarah saw him frown and wanted to say that it was much worse, and that thanks to the Eastern European medicinal cream it healed well, but he asked a question only he can ask…

”Can you shoot missiles out of it?”

His serious expression made Sarah dissolve into giggles.

”I guess that means no.”, his disappointment was apparent. ”So… other than stronger bones, is there any other upgrade?”

”I will show you later. As much as I love to have you only to myself, there are others who are eagerly waiting for you to wake up. Who do you want to come here first?”

”Jeff… and Anna.”, Aiden responded.

Sarah got her phone and paused. ”Let's make it a surprise…”

…

”Anna? What brings you here?”, Sophia asked when she saw JoAnna and Jeff arrive in a hurry.

Sophia and Felix were having lunch in the dining room when they heard Eve announce arrival of guests.

Charlie took Emma out for lunch, and Penny is at work.

”Where is Sarah?”, JoAnna asked with urgency.

”In her bedroom… What is going on?” Sophia asked while rushing after JoAnna and Jeff.

Felix was right after Sophia, supporting her.

…

”Surprise!”, Sarah exclaimed at the bewildered JoAnna, Jeff, Sophia and Felix when they entered the bedroom.

JoAnna wanted to throw something at Sarah, but nothing was handy. ”You! I left everything in a rush! And I used a helicopter!”

When Sarah called and told JoAnna that something is wrong with her arm, JoAnna immediately suspected that there is some rejection, or some side effect, or something… after all, she used an experimental technique and… but she is more than happy to see that Aiden is awake. Now she understands why Sarah told her to come quickly with a helicopter... because Sarah knows that Jeff will accompany her.

JoAnna got busy checking Aiden's vitals, to make sure he is OK.

”When did you wake up?”, JoAnna asked Aiden.

”About eight hours ago.”, he responded.

JoAnna looked at him blankly and then at Sarah. ”And you called me only now because…? Do you know that the most important thing is to confirm that he is OK? How can you be so irresponsible? What were you doing so far? ….” JoAnna continued raining scolding questions on Aiden and Sarah while checking that Aiden is OK.

Aiden looked at Jeff who was still standing at the door. They exchanged nods and smiles and Aiden knew that Jeff is welcoming him back.

Felix and Sophia made their way inside and they sat on the sofa and waited silently for JoAnna to complete the exam.

When JoAnna confirmed that everything is normal, everyone started talking… at the same time.

Sarah observed the lively scene and her smile widened when her eyes met with Aiden's. He is back.
