Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 291:

Early in the morning, the chirping of birds outside the hospital window stirred RK from his restless state. A ray of sunlight filtered through the glass, landing on his face as he stood outside the ICU, his eyes fixed on Stella, who remained still in her hospital bed.

She hadn’t woken up. Why hadn’t she woken up yet?

“Doctor, doctor!” RK called out, his voice laced with panic. Soon, the doctors and nurses arrived to check on her condition. When they emerged from the room, they shook their heads slightly.
