Chapter 732: Mom, you’re awake! Are you hungry?
The next day was Alonzo’s third birthday, which happened to be a Saturday.
Lucila got up early in the morning, went to order a birthday cake for Alonzo and called Xabat.
“I’ve ordered the cake, I’m not working today, there are other things I have to buy, you can make me a list, anyway I’m not working today, I have nothing to do, I’m free to go shopping”.
Severo has started to take care of the official business of the LK Group, but he only stays at the hospital to take care of it. All the documents and information needed are delivered to the hospital by Xabat, and indeed, he is a bit busy.
This call from Lucila was certainly timely.
He was not polite and said: “Then I will make a list and send it to you, so please do so.
“Well, good”.
Lucila did not take long to receive Xabat’s list, and it was already 13:00 or 14:00 when she followed it and bought everything on it.
After a quick bite to eat, I took them to the hospital.
It took a bit of effort to get all that stuff into Allyce’s living room.
For Alonzo’s birthday, the only thing on Alonzo’s mind was to spend it quietly.
And Victorino said that Allyce was almost recovered and it was only a matter of time before she woke up and needed more stimulation, so Lucila and Xabat and the others planned to give Alonzo a good party before coming to the hospital and not worry about disturbing Allyce’s recovery.
There is nothing lacking in the VIP pavilion and Severo cooks here regularly, he just doesn’t go shopping.
Lucila buys the ingredients for the evening cooking, fruit snacks and so on.
Alonzo knows Lucila very well and when he opens the door and sees that it is Lucila, he is very kind and wants to help her with her things.
Lucila divided a lighter bag for Alonzo.
He was holding something in one hand and kept tugging on Lucila’s sleeve with the other: “Daddy, Lucila is here!
Severo emerged from inside and nodded towards Lucila, reaching out to take what she was holding, his voice faint: “Hard work.
Although Severo seems to have a much better character now, his aura is still there, and although Lucila is not as afraid of him as before, she is still a little afraid of him.
He shook his head hastily: “It’s not difficult, it’s not too heavy, I’ll carry it, you’re the one who cooks anyway, you’re tougher”.
Severo looked at her, his eyes calm.
Lucila was inexplicably taken aback by Severo’s gaze, placed the object in her hand on the floor and wiped the sweat from her forehead: “Oh, it’s a bit heavy.
Severo did not speak to him and took his things to the kitchen.
Lucila washed her hands and sat down next to Allyce’s bed, unable to resist reaching out and pinching Allyce’s nose.
“Lazy piggy, the blanket has been replaced by an air-conditioned blanket, and you still won’t wake up, do you want to become a woman who sleeps through the seasons?”
Suddenly, Lucila’s hand squeezing Allyce’s nose froze.
Had … been a hallucination on his part?
Why did he feel Allyce frowning?
He turned around and shouted: “Alonzo, Alonzo, come here!
Alonzo was in the kitchen curiously helping Severo to pick up the shrimp strings, but of course he didn’t get any of them right.
When he heard Lucila call out to him, he ran out on his little paws.
Lucila picked him up and put him on the bed: “Alonzo, look, I’m going to pinch mommy’s nose and look how . Mummy’s eyebrows won’t move”.
Alonzo blinked and nodded his head plausibly: “Mmm!
Lucila was nervous and feared she was hallucinating.
He gritted his teeth and reached out to pinch Allyce’s nose, but this time he did it with a little more force.
The next moment, Alonzo exclaimed, “It’s moving! Mummy’s eyebrows have moved”.
Without waiting for Lucila’s reaction, Alonzo jumped out of bed in an instant and ran into the kitchen.
As he ran, he shouted, “Daddy! Mummy’s eyebrows are wiggling!”
When Severo heard Alonzo’s voice, he didn’t even bother to take the gloves off his hands and grabbed him by the small shoulders, asking, “What did you say?”
“A moment ago Lucila pinched mum’s nose and mum’s eyebrows twitched”.
By the age of three, children can describe simple things in precise language.
Severo took three quick steps into Allyce’s living room and saw Lucila staring blankly.
He looked down at the bed, withdrew his eyes and looked at Lucila: “What’s wrong, Alonzo said he was waggling his eyebrows?
Lucila blinked, a little nervously, “Yes, Alonzo shouldn’t be hallucinating, should he?
Many times they thought that Allyce was responding and was about to wake up, but in the end it turned out to be just a hallucination.
Emotions swirled in Severo’s dark eyes as he knelt down and came face to face with Alonzo. “Alonzo, did you really see the way Mama’s eyebrows were moving?”
Alonzo nodded his head, “Mmm”.
Severo froze for a moment and then smiled before turning in his seat, muttering under his breath, “Great …”.
Lucila looked at Allyce on the bed with her eyes tightly closed and said faintly, “Mr. Severo, a moment ago Alonzo addressed you and I think I saw Allyce open her eyes …”.
Severo paused and looked at the hospital bed as well, then frowned: “You must be looking at it wrong”.
Lucila nodded: “I think so too”.
The two adults were talking to each other until Alonzo’s voice sounded next to them.
“Mum, you’re awake! Are you hungry?”
Lucila and Severo looked back at the hospital bed and saw Allyce with her eyes half-open, staring at them both.
They both looked at each other.
Lucila spoke first, “I’m hallucinating again …”.
However, when the faint “Lucila” sounded, Lucila felt a buzzing in her head.
Severo reacted before she did.
He pushed Lucila away and sat on the edge of the bed to help Allyce up, his eyes fixed on her, his voice trembling as he called her name: “Allyce?
Allyce blinked and laughed: “What’s with the mealy-mouthed name?
Orlin had been the only one to call her that as a child, and at first she felt a little numb when she heard Severo call her that as well.
Severo could not believe his ears.
“Really awake?”
Allyce had been lying down for too long to have much strength and could only reach out and punch him in the face: “What are you talking about, if I wasn’t awake I could talk to you?
Severo took her hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it, “It’s a hallucination, it’s not like it’s happened once or twice anyway.”
“Look at me, Mom, look at Alonzo,” Alonzo said as he climbed onto the bed from the other side and reluctantly approached.
Mum finally woke up after such a long sleep.
Allyce sniffed and turned her head to look at Alonzo and spoke with some surprise: “Alonzo … has grown up a lot”.
A two- or three-year-old child can grow quite a bit without seeing you for a month, let alone after sleeping for more than six months.
Alonzo came over and put his arms around Allyce, “Mom, you’ve been asleep for a long time.
“It’s because Mummy’s so tired, that’s why she’s been sleeping so much. Allyce stroked his head affectionately.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Lucila watched the scene from behind and, after a moment of silence, took out her mobile phone to make a call.
“When are you guys coming? Mr. Severo and I might be hallucinating, we both saw Allyce wake up, you guys come and see if it’s true ….”
Allyce had been asleep for so long that Lucila couldn’t believe, until now, that Allyce had actually woken up.
He was halfway through the call when he heard Allyce’s clear voice: “Lucila”.
Crash!
His phone immediately fell to the floor.
He walked over to the bed and looked at Allyce.
Whichever way I looked at it, I felt that Allyce was really awake and that the vision was all too real.
Allyce doesn’t yet know how long she has been asleep, but looking at her reactions, I guess she must have been out for a long time.
He grabbed Lucila’s hand, “Lucila, I’m really awake, you called me a lazy pig, how can I not be awake yet?”
It was then that Lucila finally reacted and tears came to her eyes.
“You finally woke up … oooh …”, she said, and burst into tears.
Severo frowned and looked uneasily at Lucila.
Lucila had always considered herself a mediocre person, but she understood perfectly what Severo was saying in his eyes.
“I’m going to see what else needs to be done in the kitchen.” He said, and with another glance at Allyce, went to the kitchen.
It was good to be awake, and there was plenty of time to talk to Allyce later if he wanted to.
Let’s give Severo the time of day for now; after all, he is working the hardest.
