His Eagle Eyes on Me

"Mom, did he say anything to you?" Layla's heart raced.

Avery shook her head. "He is conscious, though. I asked him a few questions and he nodded back."

Tears filled Layla's eyes at her words. She wiped them away and asked, "Mom, can I stay in the room to take care of him?"

"He is staying in the VIP ward right now and there are nurses taking care of him at all times. You don't need to be here." Avery grabbed her hands. "I know you want to stay with him, but he is weak and will be asleep most of the time. Maybe you can stay with him once he gets better, okay?"

Layla nodded and regained her composure. "Okay."
