Chapter 45 - Filing for Divorce (2/2)

Later that afternoon, around 3 pm. April woke up from the feeling for someone was caressing her hair. The hand was soft and gentle. The smell and warmth was familiar to her, her heart pounded at the thought of who the person was.

”April? are you awake?” Alex whispered softly. Afraid that she wouldn't be able to recognize him again.

April slowly opened her eyes. Her body felt weak and her head was aching.

”April?” Alex's heart was beating fast. When her eyes opened, he felt relief that she wasn't screaming and pulling her hand away from him.

April turned her head slowly, looking at the man beside the bed. The sun was slightly behind him, making her unable to fully see him. Yet she knew in her heart, that it was the man who she loves dearly.

”Alex?”. Her voice was too soft, it was almost a whisper.

Alex sighed. She finally recognized him. It untangled the knot inside his heart.

”Yes baby, it's me. Are you alright? Does any part of you hurts? Do you want me to call the doctor?”

”..Doctor?...” April closed her eyes and then opened. She turned her head around, finally recognizing where she was. The hospital, the smell of a sterilize room.

”I'm... okay.. ...water?..” she was thirsty, her throat felt extremely dry.

”Hold a second baby, I'll get someone to get it.” Alex pressed the button for a nurse to come.

The nurse came in within 10 seconds. Seeing that the patient woke up normally, she instantly done her routines.

After she was done, Alex told her to get some water for April. The nurse nodded and left. Not long after, she brought a cup of water with a straw and gave it to Alex. Alex took it and thanked the nurse.

The nurse reclined the bed up, for April to be able to drink the water much better. She left instantly, so she could informed her doctor.

Alex then helped April take a sip of the water. It felt good in her throat, as she slowly sipped some water.
