Ford didn't waste a second before dashing back into Elena's hospital room. His heart pounded as he rushed to her bedside, his breath uneven from both fear and anticipation. She was awake—her eyes were open, though they seemed clouded with dizziness. Beside her, Lily sat, holding her hand tightly, whispering soft words of comfort.
"Elena? It's me, Lily. Can you hear me?" Lily asked, her voice trembling with emotion.
Elena blinked slowly, struggling to focus. Her body felt heavy, her mind foggy, but the voice beside her was familiar . She turned her head slightly, eyes searching for the familiar face. "Lily? Is that you?" she murmured weakly. "Where have you been? I was so scared…"
At that moment, Lily's face lit up with sheer joy. Tears welled up in her eyes as she turned swiftly to her brother. "Ford! She remembers me! She's going to be alright! She remembers me!" she cried out, her happiness overflowing.
