“Don't worry too much, Miss Jacobson. Ethan will be okay.” Edward comforted
her before leaving for other matters. “Would you like something to eat, Miss
Jacobson? Jacques kindly asked.
Josephine shook her head and sat down where she could see Ethan. She
watched the nurses perform various examinations on him, and her morning
passed just like that.
It was already 3.00PM by the time Jacques returned from his rest. When he
stepped out of the elevator, he found Josephine sitting there like a statue, waiting
for her man.
Jacques brought a snack with him and handed it to her, feeling bad for the
woman. “Please eat something, Miss Jacobson. Mr. Ethan will scold me if he
wakes up and finds out I haven't been taking care of you.”
“I really hope he wakes up soon.” Josephine felt as if she had been living in a
dream these past few days, for everything seemed so surreal.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The rescue team had departed, and
the Quarles were preparing to take Ethan back to the family hospital for
treatment. Josephine was invited to accompany them.
Ethan was taken care of by the medical staff on the plane, and as much as
Josephine wished to see him, she could only spend a brief ten minutes with him.
Still, it was already a gift to her. After a 28-hour flight, they finally arrived at the
Quarles Residence, and Ethan was immediately taken to the ICU for
examination.
Donna, who had been waiting at the hospital, had red and swollen eyes. Her
heart was shattered, and when she saw Josephine, she went up and hugged the
young woman. Both women burst into tears simultaneously.
“You've had it rough this time, Josephine,” said Donna, deeply moved by
Josephine’s affection for her son. She saw Josephine’s sacrifices and dedication,
even braving the harsh Arctic conditions.
“I just want Ethan to wake up. It would make everything worthwhile,” said
Josephine as tears welled up in her eyes. Donna patted her and took the tissue
from her assistant before handing it to Josephine. “You're exhausted too. Go
rest.”
“I'm alright, Mrs. Quarles. I want to stay with Ethan.” “Silly child, what if Ethan
wakes up and finds you collapsed? What would we do then? Go rest!” Donna
expressed her concern, noticing that Josephine had visibly lost weight.
Jacques, who stood aside, chimed in, “You haven't shut your eyes since getting
on the plane, Miss Jacobson, and have been drinking coffee to stay awake. As
young as you are, you won't be able to hold on. Your health is important. Please
rest!”
Donna was taken aback and urged the young woman at once, “No more staying
up, Josephine. I still have hopes for you to become my daughter-in-law. Go rest!
We're all here.”
Donna's words brought some peace to Josephine’s heart. That's right, his family
is here! They have the best doctors and medical technology. He'll be fine; he'll
recover.
With that, Josephine went to rest while Donna approached the ward and noticed
her husband standing there, exhausted. She hugged him, and Edward held her
hand. “He’s our only son. Nothing can happen to him.”
“He'll be fine.” Donna nodded tearfully. Meanwhile, Josephine called her parents
to update them on her situation. She continued to lie to them, saying she was on
a trip, and she sent them the photos Ethan had taken for her.
“Have a great time! It's good to explore the world while you're young!” Heidi
sounded happy for her on the other end of the line.
