Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 188

Chapter 187

Natalia had just settled into the driver's seat when her phone buzzed with a call from Ryan.

"Natalia, something came up today, and I don't think I can make it over to hang out."

She had nearly forgotten Ryan was supposed to visit her.

"It's fine, Ryan, Happy New Year."

Natalia's voice was clipped, and although Ryan seemed like he wanted to say more, she quickly ended the call.

After hanging up, she floored the gas pedal and sped off.

Hamilton, following in his car, couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"Is she trying to kill herself driving that fast?"

Pulling into the hospital parking lot, Natalia bolted to the floor where Tatiana's room was located.

Hamilton watched her rush, a sense of worry washing over him.

"Has something happened?"

Exiting his car, he hurried after her.

Natalia burst into the hospital room, finding the doctor running some tests.

"Doctor, how's my mom doing?"

The doctor's face was etched with concern. "There are signs of awakening. She's starting to respond to stimuli. Ms. Jenkins, you might try calling out to her; she might respond to your voice." Eyes brimming with tears, Natalia approached Tatiana's bedside and called softly, "Mom, can you hear me? It's Natalia."

As she spoke, Tatiana's fingers twitched.

It was slight, but Natalia saw it clearly.

Tears streamed down her face as she cried out, "Mom, mom, it's Natalia. You can hear me, can't you? Please wake up, please..."

Clutching Tatiana's hand, she sobbed into the hospital sheets.
