The Love From Vengeance

386: STAND BY YOU

ARIEL’S POV

Here I was, in the hospital, still holding on to Luke, with the hope, with the belief that he would regain consciousness any time soon.

But even so, the fight wouldn’t end. The journey would continue because out of every terrible situation, something good comes out. It’s just about the confidence, the boldness, the courage. All mixed up, they would put me in the perfect place. And I needed hope, hope to soldier on in this battle. Because there was no way I would be giving up.

“Miss, you should get some rest,” a nurse told me, stepping foot inside the room.

“Thanks, but I’m okay,” I told her softly, still cleaving to Luke’s hands.

“Do you need something to eat? You’ve been here for hours, and I noticed you haven’t eaten anything. Should I perhaps bring something for you?”

I gave her a little smile. “That would be nice, actually.”
