When he looked in through the window, he was astounded to see her topless and braless. She was standing with her back to him, eliciting wild desires in him.
He took his handkerchief from his pocket and crept into her room through the window. After s...

After a week, the doctor discharged Reyna. Her external wounds were healing with time. Cole and Ethan were in the same condition; they were barely eating and were just surviving without their bundle of joy. They both stood by her side for twenty-four hours and used to talk to her cheerfully, disguising their pain, because the doctor told them she could hear them.
Cole didn't let the nurse change her clothes; instead, he changed her clothes himself and gave her a sponge bath carefully while talking to her, and he was also learning to do her dressing. He just loved to take care of his kiddo and was hoping that one day he would get her back and that his hope would win.
He cried silently because he didn't want to hurt her; that's why he always talked to her in a cheery tone and read novels to her.
Every second they prayed for a miracle. Their hearts were burning with immense agony, yet they continued to be happy for Reyna and to live with hope because hope was the only thing that gave them strength on their darkest days. They would have died if there had been no hope.
In an ambulance, they arrived at Ethan's house. Ethan and Cole were sitting in front of Reyna, who was unconscious. Ella and James were on the way in their cars. Their hearts were shattered by the way they were bringing Reyna back home.
Cole carried Reyna inside cautiously in his arms. Nurse, Ella and Ethan followed them. He properly laid her down on her bed, his lips drawn down in despair, his face pallid, and his eyes red and swollen from shedding tears for a week.
It was killing him deep inside, he was yearning to listen to her voice, to see his peaceful smile, and to hear her soothing laugh. He knew that if he didn't get her back, he would perish. He was living each day as though he were repaying a debt. His life was utterly gloomy without her because she was his shining star. She was the only one who had brought a gleam into his dark life.
"I love you, Kiddo. Get well soon." He murmured and placed a soft kiss on her forehead, concealing his sadness behind his faint smile.
The nurse came and attached all the tubes and wires to her body and mouth, breaking their hearts. Fresh tears streamed down Cole's cheeks as he turned his face to the other side and squeezed his eyes shut in agony. It was excruciatingly painful for him to see his kiddo in this state.

On either side of Reyna's bed, Cole and Ethan were seated. They were talking to her, concealing their sorrow behind their cheerful voices because she could hear them. Since they didn't want to hurt her, they couldn't even cry in front of her; instead, they had to act happy.
"Sweetie, welcome back home," Ethan said cheerfully, stroking her hair and suppressing his true feelings.
"I've brought your favourite flowers for you. Smell them." Cole brought the rose bouquet close to her nose to make her smell it, but she didn't respond, and he felt so hurt and empty deep inside that he closed his eyes and took a deep breath to control his tears before placing the bouquet on the side table.
