Her voice was soft and trembling, tinged with the sound of tears. In that moment, she was just a mother, watching her child with pain and desperation in her eyes.
Jean stepped in quietly, her gaze falling lightly on Samuel.

And yet, for sreason, Jean thought she saw his eyelids twitch.
Maybe he was about to wake up. Or maybe he was in a shallow coma.
No wonder Sienna had been trying to wake him.
Hearing Jean's footsteps, Sienna quickly turned around.
"You're here..." She met Jean's eyes, hers still red-rimmed. "The doctor said Samuel needs to wake up soon... I thought I saw him move just now-but I called out to him, and he didn't respond." Jean didn't answer. She simply walked over and crouched down by the bed, mirroring Sienna's posture. "Jean, when do you think he'll wake up?" Sienna asked unconsciously, as if she were clinging to Jean for reassurance. She didn't even realize how much she was relying on her daughter.
Jean shook her head, her expression serious. "I don't know." The rhythmic beeping of the ICU equipment echoed around them, adding to the heavy atmosphere.

"We're all waiting for you to wake up. I/know you can hear me, right?" Jean continued.
"He... he can hear you?" Sienna asked in surprise, raising her brows slightly.

"No matter what-whether it's me, Mom, or everyone else-we all want the sthing. We just want you to wake up and be healthy again. Samuel, when you wake up, let's drop all that awkwardness between us and start over. We're family. There shouldn't be this much distance between us. So con, wake up. When you do, we'll take you home. It's cold and heavy in here-you feel that too, don't you?" Her voice was warm and steady, full of quiet strength. But the man in the bed didn't react.

Her eyes lit up at once, and her hand instinctively tightened around the e fabric of Sienna's sleeve. A second later, Samuel slowly, painfully cracked his eyelids open.
Sienna's mouth parted slightly in excitement. "Samuel...he's waking up... Jean stayed calm, just watching in silence.
Dominic and Winston exchanged a subtle glance and quietly let out a breath.
Waking up-that was a good sign.
Samuel's eyes were half-lidded, his lostinn gaze dark and unfocused, lost in confusion. His body had woken up, but his mind hadn't caught up yet.
