"W-w-what?"

Alicia's mind buzzed and she was in a daze. She was stunned by Marshall's words. "Am I dreaming? Am I having a hallucination?"

"Your father regained his consciousness! Your father is awake! Congratulations, Alicia! Your obedience to your parents is finally paying off! Come to the hospital and take a look!" On the other side of the phone, Marshall was actually as excited as Alicia.

As she finally came to her senses, tears welled up in her eyes. "Yes! I'm on my way!"

Alicia was so excited. Her hands were trembling vigorously when she tidied up her desk. She even failed to pick up her own car keys a few times.

Looking at Alicia, Miriam felt worried. "Alicia, are you okay? What happened?"

Alicia just shook her head. Tears were falling down her cheeks but she was smiling. She was so happy that she stuttered for a while.

"It's great news! I have an emergency. Please... help me request a leave!"

Her father was awake now!

After packing up her bag, she immediately called her mother. She adjusted her mood and went back home to pick up her mother. Then, they went to the hospital together. Trotting all the way, Alicia and her mother rushed into the ward. Both of them were crying. "Doctor!"
