Stella had stayed in the ward for three days, but William had no sign of waking up.
On the fourth day, when she looked up from her draft book, she saw William’s finger move.
Stella immediately stood up and called a doctor over.
The doctor checked William up and said, “It’s his instinctive reaction, but his consciousness hasn’t completely recovered yet. It’ll take a few more days for him to wake up.”
“Is his life still in danger?” asked Stella.
“As long as his wound didn’t get inflammation and cause high fever, he would be fine.” The doctor added, “However, he has a bit consciousness now. Please talk to him more. He can hear it, and it will stimulate him to wake up.”
Stella nodded. “Thanks, Doc.”
After the doctor left, she sat down again. Staring at the draft book on the tea table, she didn’t pick it up. Instead, she walked to the bed and sat down next to it.
Looking at the man on the bed, she seemed to have found something familiar from this face that was strange to her.
Stella didn’t know what to say to him. After a while, she said, “Two weeks ago, I went to a jewelry exhibition. I saw the ring you used to propose to my mother and learned about the history of the ring and where it ended up.
“In fact, I’m pretty curious about your past. I want to know the stories between you and my mother as well as the things in my childhood. In the Stewards’ Mansion, Mr. Thomas told me some of them, but those stories seemed to be quite blurred to me. I couldn’t recall any of it at all.
“Over the years, I've been having the same dream. There's a big fire. I wanted to rush in, but a hand dragged me and took me away from that place.
“I know you must be like me. We both want to know what on earth happened after that explosion and why my mother would take me... Moreover, I also want to know how you survived that explosion.
“If... If my mother had known you were still alive, she must be quite happy. We wouldn’t have met after so many years. Probably I have already called you Dad. Our family of three would be together forever.copy right hot novel pub
