98 Late for Work (2/2)

”Why weren't you waking up?” She frowned faintly.

”Did you go to bed late again? Honey my body hurts. What did you do while I was sleeping?” She continued speaking in a soft and raspy voice.

Alex was left dazed and did not know how to reply. He blinked a few times to be sure that this wasn't a dream, then kissed her hungrily.

”Honey, you're awake. I've missed you so much!” He kissed her all over her face.

”ah, you're hurting me. Why am I so sore darling? What's going on? Where are we? What's that noise? What do you mean, I'm awake? Of course, I'm awake silly!” She frowned then let her eyes slowly scan the room.

”We're at the hospital and you've just woken up from a three-month coma. God, everyone will be so happy. Honey thank you for waking up.” He continued kissed her cheek.

”Coma? But, I just heard Eyan tell me to wake up I'm going to be late for work. How come I'm here? Where is he? Is this a joke or was it just a dream?” She continued looking around the room for Eyan.

”Honey, relax. Look over here.” He cupped her face and turned her head to stare into her eyes.

Alex was so overjoyed that she had remembered him that he couldn't contain his excitement. He completely forgot he had to press the call button to alert the nurses. He was so happy but when he finally calmed down her deep blue eyes were no longer glaring at him. They were shut.

”Honey, are you still awake? He checked her pulse it was faint.

He pressed the button for the nurse and they came rushing in.

”She woke up and started talking about being late for work and now her eyes are closed. What's going on? Why isn't she responding?” Alex began panicking the moment the nurses walked in.

The checked her pulse and vitals and noticed everything was fine.

”Mr. Zi please relax, she's only sleeping. Did she say anything?” The nurse checking her vitals said confidently.

”Yeah, she spoke a lot for someone waking up from a coma. I was shocked and forgot to call you. Will she be okay?”

”Yes sir, she's awake now but she's still weak so be careful. Next time she wakes up remember to push the call button.”

”Mhm…sorry I forgot earlier.” He said apologetically.

After reassuring him for the fifth time that she was only sleeping because she was still weak, the nurses left the room.

Alex picked up his phone and called Eyan to tell them the good news.
