Ethan finally woke up, seeing his wife sleeping on the chair next to him. His eyes recognized the room, being in this same situation before.
His eyes focused again on his wife, who looked so exhausted, and his heart broke for her. She was far worse than before. Now he worries about her more, knowing that anything could happen to him.
But he had faith that his wife was much stronger than him. She would survive far better than him even after he was gone.
"I am sorry. I don't know if I can still keep my promise." He whispered, but no sounds came out of his lips, feeling the ache and weakness of his body as he tried to move.
He knew he would be disappointing his beloved wife for the hundredth time. It was something he never liked doing, but like everyone else, he was just human. It was now out of his hands.
