Laura did not wish to leave her husband's side even for a second, but she also understood that her body needed some rest. Besides, Dani would not allow her to stay a minute longer until she had her rest.
She was glad that she also followed her daughter's advice, feeling so much rejuvenated from the relaxing and peaceful sleep she had. Seeing Ethan smiling somehow gave her a bit of hope. It was the only thing she could hold on to that made her leave his side for a while.

She looked like she had aged by a decade since Ethan had been in the hospital. Her eyes were still slightly puffy from crying and the sleepless nights. Her cheeks had a hollow in the center since she hardly ate anything.
"Oh my!" She gushed as her fingers ran through her frizzled hair.
