Sweet Submission: Reclaiming Her Love

Chapter 54 She’s Awake!

While in a coma, Corynn suffered from a seemingly never–ending nightmare. She dreamed that just as she was finally about to escape the fire, a sudden burst of flames engulfed her the next moment.

She jolted awake, covered in cold sweat. She had sat up so abruptly that she aggravated her wounds, gasping in

pain.

“Oh, my God! You’re finally awake! You scared me half to death!” Shirley, sitting beside Corynn’s bed, woke up with a start, tears brimming in her eyes as she looked at Corynn.

Still shaken by the dream, Corynn’s eyes also welled up with tears as soon as she heard Shirley’s voice.

She was alive! She had survived!

“Mom…” she whimpered.

“Yes, honey, I’m here.” Shirley gently wiped Corynn’s tears away with her thumb and smiled. “I’m so glad that you’re awake.”

Eager to spread the good news, Shirley hurriedly made some calls to Erick and Jason.

One silver lining of this whole ordeal was that it gave birth to a great opportunity for Jason to get closer to
