It’s been three months. Three fucking months since Ava was shot, and she’s yet to wake up. With each month that goes by, everyone is slowly losing hope that she’ll ever wake up.

It’s frustrating as hell, but there’s nothing I can do about it. It’s now beyond anyone’s power.

She was taken off the machine a month after her accident. She didn’t need them to breathe since her

lungs were doing just fine. They even transferred her to a normal room. We all thought she’d come out of

the coma then, but it never happened. Two months down the line, and we are still waiting.

“Should I wait for you, Mr. Wood?” my driver asks just before I get out of the car.

“It’s not necessary. I’ll call you when I’m done.”

I get out of the car and walk into the hospital. The staff greets me because I have been a regular visitor

for the past few months.

I just nod my head. I feel the tiredness down to my bones. I haven’t had a moment of peace since that

day. Sleep flees from me every single night, and I’m left either staring at the ceiling all night or working.

Due to the circumstances, Noah is back to living with me. He’s here every day after school. Visiting his

mother and sister. I see the toll everything is taking on him, but I know it’ll only be better when Ava and

Iris leave the hospital.

I head first to see Iris before seeing Ava. That little girl has won my heart these past few months. Her

resilience and strength to overcome what was thrown at her remind me of her mother.

“You’re here, Rowan; let me just get our little princess ready,” Mary says as she busies herself. 1

Iris was taken out of the incubator a week ago. The doctors said that she was now healthy and out of

danger. Since she had reached the nine–month milestone, there was no need for her to remain there. 2
