Jessica held his cold, lifeless hand in hers. I’m sorry… Why didn’t you let me know? I knew you had a good heart…

She sobbed uncontrollably on his chest. Please wake up… Please… Louis…

“Jess…?” a soft, dry voice called.

“Louis?!” Jessica wiped her tears away, straightening up to see Louis fluttered open his eyes.

“Jess, I’m fine. Don’t cry… I’m sorry to make you cry every time we meet…” Louis lifted his weak hand to wipe away her tears.

“I… I’ll get Steven here…” Jessica got up excitedly, but Louis pulled her hands.

“Don’t leave me Jess…”

“Can you forgive whatever I’ve done? I did it for your safety…” he pleaded. “I’m not a womanizer…”

Jessica nodded. “I don’t care what you’ve done! I just want you to get well…”

He pulled her close to kiss her lightly on the lips. Jessica had never felt more blissful before, she held him tightly and would never ever let go anymore.

Raymond watched Michelle who slept so peacefully. When are you waking up my swan? Please don’t sleep away… Don’t leave me alone…

He brushed her hair aside gently and kissed her forehead. I’ll be waiting, you’ve to be strong. Even our baby’s strong. He hasn’t left you yet… You’ve to wake up…

“How’s it looking?” Vicki asked anxiously.

Steven eyed Vicki and then shook his head. “It’s... like you said. But Vicki… I don’t know how you can actually ask me to do it. Are you sure this is best for her?”

“I’m very sure,” she said softly. “Please waste no more time.”

“But as a doctor and as a friend, I don’t recommend it, why do you want to go against my words?”

“Please Steven… she’s running out of time,” Vicki pleaded.

Steven finally nodded reluctantly. “I’ll schedule it for her the first thing in the morning…”

The alarm beeped as red lights flashed by Michelle’s bedside.

Raymond startled awake from his nap. “Michelle?!”

Steven and a few other nurses rushed in. Myolie persuaded Raymond to wait outside. After a few minutes, they exited and hurriedly pushed Michelle’s bed along towards the operating theatre.

“She’s going to have an emergency operation. Her lungs are giving away… You’ll have to approve of the operation signing this,” Steven said to Raymond who came along.

“Come on Louis, you’ve got to eat something,” Jessica forcefully fed him her self made chicken porridge.

Louis kept his lips tightly shut. “Mm-mm…”

Jessica raised her eyebrows questioningly. “What do you want then?”

“You…” he mouthed soundlessly, pulling her onto his bed.

“Lou! I’m going to spill the porridge on your bedsheet…” Jessica laughed as Louis tickled her by the sides, causing her to squirm helplessly, while balancing her bowl.

“Are you not hungry?” Louis shook his head, smiling.

“I’ll always be contented when I see you. I don’t need anything else…” he kissed her lips gently…

Wallace entered the room, fully gowned. It was the first time he had entered since the attack. Raymond had hardly left her side, and he did not want to stir up any disputes just then. But during the 16 hours operation, Raymond decided to dash home for a quick bath. Wallace heart skipped when the operation ended a little earlier than scheduled. It was very successful, but Michelle never awoke yet.

He took her hand in his and held it near his face. You’ll be fine… I know you’ll be…

“Please wake up my princess…” Wallace whispered softly. I love you… Ray loves you… You can’t leave us behind…

Michelle stirred. Wallace felt excitement gushed in him. “Michelle?”

When her stirs gradually turned into vigorous trembling fits, Wallace watched on in horror, stunned and pushed aside as doctors and nurses poured in to give her emergency rescue.

“Jessica!” Niki shook her awake.

“Hmmh?” Jessica stirred.

“Michelle’s condition is worsening…” Niki sobbed into her shoulders.

Jessica looked sleepily at Niki and then looked back at Louis who was still snoozing away.

“Louis?” she called, but he did not stir.

“Niki, has Steven come to see Louis? He woke up just now… I can’t believe I fell asleep…” Jessica said guiltily.

Niki looked at Jessica blankly. “Jess… Louis has never woke up yet… I was watching you all the while from the waiting room outside…”

Kevin puts an arm around Niki’s shoulder. He then turned her around a little to give her a massage on the back.

“I’m sorry about what had happened Niki…” he said.

Niki touched his hands on her back. “I’m fine. I know you didn’t mean for this to happen. But things are going very badly. Jessica is even hallucinating Louis waking up every once in a while nowadays. Michelle…” Niki turned to Kevin, tears shining in her eyes.

Kevin pulled her into his arms, stroking her hair. “I’m sorry too. But you’ve to be strong. All troubles will be over soon…”
