" Victoria!"
Victoria instantly stiffened hearing that voice. She looked up. As her tears fell, a clear sight came into her view.
" M-Mamma!" Victoria's trembling voice came out automatically.
Sia froze. Her eyes were extremely red. She was just a few steps away from Victoria but she was scared to even breathe.
Sia arrived at the cottage in a hurry as she was worried about Victoria. She thought about all the worst situations that could happen but not for a moment had she thought that Victoria would wake up.
As it was working time, there was rarely any people around. Moreover, the cafe which was always open was also closed. The only open place was the hospital. As Sia run around asking every person if they saw her, she arrived at the hospital.
Though she knew Victoria was unconscious, she subconsciously called out to her as she searched for her. As soon as Sia opened the door, she saw her daughter sitting on a bench in the hallway. Her eyes... They were open. Then she heard a voice she was willing to give everything away for. The voice of her daughter calling out to her.
" Miss Helson?" The couple was shocked by the turn of events. Sia sometimes visits their cafe for eating.
Sia still had no reaction. She was frozen like an ice statue. This was too sudden. Too good to be true. She was so afraid that it was all a dream, an illusion. Just something that her desperateness brought. She was in disbelief. She just... Couldn't differentiate between reality and dreams.
Victoria had already burst. It was almost impossible for her to stop now. She hadn't cried her heart out since the moment she left her home. She really didn't. So all that pent up frustration burst out.
She was wailing so badly that seeing this made others teary. Her voice was so painful that nothing looked sadder than that. Victoria's chest started hurting badly as she held it tightly. Her crying was making her body hurt too but she couldn't stop herself. It was completely out of her control.
" I-I am... I am S-Sorry... " Victoria said in between her cries. Victoria closed her eyes tightly so that the tears would lessen and she could get a better view of her mother. But the moment she opened her eyes, her sight blurred.
Sia didn't want to breathe so that she wouldn't wake up from this dream. However, even if this were a dream, she would rather wake up than see Victoria crying like this.
Sia moved her steps. They were so hesitant that she almost stopped. But when she heard the painful words of Victoria, Sia slowly came back to her senses. Trembling as she goes, Sia somehow reached Victoria. Victoria was just inches away but she was slow.
The moment Victoria saw Sia within reach, she pulled her hand back from her chest and hugged Sia. So tightly that Sia was feeling pain. The pain proves to her that it wasn't merely a dream.
Sia suddenly exhaled deeply. She almost went pale from holding her breath. Hearing Victoria's voice as she cried, Sia also burst out. She hugged Victoria like a long lost treasure that was found back. Tenderly with love as she cried along with her. It was just not possible to not cry. They didn't merely have to go through Victoria's accident. They haven't properly met since the dawn when Victoria left leaving behind a note.
" I am Sorry... I am sorry Mamma. I was wrong. I was... I was really wrong... It's all my fault. I was the one who left! I am sorry! Sorry, Mamma!"
Victoria was so agitated that she started having a panic attack. No one realised at first because she was already crying so badly.
Meanwhile, at the door, someone stopped. He panted badly with red eyes. The eyes held so many emotions and yearning for someone that they become blind and could only see that one person. But today, that person wasn't on the bed. Instead, she was right there in front of him. Wailing so badly that it hurts him.
While Oscar was on his way, he received Sia's call telling him that Victoria was missing. Oscar sped so fast that he almost died in an accident. He ran all the way from the cottage to the streets and everywhere he could. He rushed to the hospital as he saw the door open and the moment he reached the door, his foot froze.
Seeing her alive, seeing her crying and hearing her voice... It felt like a miracle. Oscar's tears fell suddenly. He had a hard time standing up as his knees went so weak.
