Chapter 109 - A Miracle (2/2)

”Oh my gosh!” Lena jumped up and hugged Tye! Her wish came true! Gary's going to wake up! ”AHHH! Can I go see him now?”

”Yeah.”

Tye led her back to the room. The nurses were still there. Lena did not notice them before, but they were pretty nurses. The other doctor was also a pretty woman.

Lena went and sat on her chair again. She touched Gary's cheeks. ”Thanks… for not leaving me.”

Tye nodded at the medical workers for them to leave. They finished what they were doing and left.

”He still have everything attached to him. We will slowly remove each machine and check on him every hour.” Tye explained.

”Ok.”

”It really is a miracle.” Tye expressed. ”I can't really explain this. AHA… I am a genius doctor.”

Lena laughed. 'Stupid Doctor. It's not you… it was me.' Lena's mood was lighting back up again. ”I am going to stay for a few days here, just in case he wakes up by then.”

”That's fine. I'll go check on a few things and come back.” Tye left.

Lena took out her phone. She stood up and walked to the windows. She stared at the vast green forest. She dialed her mom's number. Her mom picked up after a few rings.

”Mom.”

”Lena? Are you okay? You sound different.”

”I'm fine.” Lena tried to cover her voice, considering she just survived a roller coaster of emotions. ”I am going to be gone for a few days.”

”A few days?”

”One of my friends need me. Uh.. She was with me when Andy broke up with me and now I need to be there for her.” Lena did a white lie. Everyone thought that Gary was dead so she could not say his name. And she could not say that she will be with a male friend. Hazel was away for another movie shoot, so she cannot use Hazel as an excuse.

”I understand. I'll take care of SHYNE for you. James is with you?”

”Yeah, he's here.”

”Ok. You need anything, you call your mommy okay?”

”Mhm… Love you.”

”I love you too.”

Lena hung up on the phone. She texted Diane about her situation… making sure to stick with the same story. Diane sent Lena the details of the meeting, saying that it went well. Diane will be taking care of things so Lena does not need to worry. Lena still told her to send the paperwork needed for her to review.

Lena went back and sit down on the chair. Again, she held Gary's hand. ”You better wake up soon or I'll be too poor to take care of you.”
