Supercorp: Unexpected Feelings

Chapter 123

Lena, Ashley and Natalie are now inside Andrea's room where she is being treated. Right away they can see that Andrea is awake, and sitting in an upward position in her bed, albeit because of how the bed has been adjusted so she can be in that position, rather than Andrea physically being able to sit up right now. At the same time though, there is still evidence that Andrea is still recovering, as they can see various things attached to Andrea, including some sort of drip. Despite all of this, the most notable thing about Andrea that Lena, Natalie and Ashley can see right away, is just how pale and thin she looks. Lena knows that is the result of the coma Andrea has been in, and she has never seen Andrea look this skinny, especially in her face. It truly looks like Andrea must be very weak right now, so it is no surprise that she is unable to walk, and needs a lot of sleep. However, Lena also knows that this weak state Andrea must be in is certainly something that her ex-wife can recover from, it will just take time, patience, and likely both physical and mental therapy.

"Má!" Ashley says, and now goes running towards Andrea's bed, bursting into tears.

"Má!" Natalie says, doing the exact same as her older sister.

"Careful girls!" Lena quickly calls out, "Be very gentle with má, as she is still recovering, and you could easily bruise her or hurt her."

Natalie and Ashley thankfully acknowledge what Lena just said to them, and stop right at Andrea's bedside, not touching her, even though the girls clearly very much want to. Andrea, for her part, now turns her head and looks at Natalie and Ashley for a few moments, before opening her mouth. Andrea then tries to speak, but her voice is hoarse, and she starts coughing a bit. Upon seeing this, Lena notices a glass of water next to Andrea's bed, so she picks it up, and moves it towards Andrea's lips, with Andrea drinking the water without even looking at Lena.

"Thank you." Andrea says, once she finishes drinking the water.

Lena simply gives Andrea a nod of her head, with Andrea then turning her attention back to her two daughters.

"Hello, Natalie, Ashley." Andrea says, with a loving smile on her face, "It's good to see you both."

"Má... we've both missed you." Ashley says, with tears in her eyes.

"Yeah." Natalie nods, sniffling, with her own tears.

"I know." Andrea nods, with a sympathetic look on her face, "I've missed you both too. I'm happy you are here now."

Ashley and Natalie simply smile at Andrea saying that to them, while Lena is just standing up off to the side letting Andrea have this moment with the girls, even though Lena's mind is still wondering what Andrea has been doing speaking to lawyers so soon after waking up from her coma.

"I wish we could hug you má." Natalie says.

"Yeah." Ashley nods.

Andrea now reaches out with her hand to the girls.

"I don't think.... I feel up to a hug just yet..... but..... how about holding my hand?" Andrea suggests.

Both Natalie and Ashley nod their heads at Andrea suggesting this, and soon reach out to hold onto Andrea's hand together.

After this, for the next half an hour, Andrea just quietly talks with the girls, about nothing really. The more important thing really is that Andrea is spending time with Natalie and Ashley after coming out of her coma. Time that the girls appreciate all the more because they were each worried that their má was going to die, but now she's alive, and speaking to them. During all this, Lena simply sits off to the side, silently, checking her phone every now and then, and just letting the girls have this time with Andrea, not wanting to interrupt it or anything. Eventually though, after a good 40 minutes of the girls spending time with Andrea, Lena knows they probably need to go, not because they need to rush home or anything, but because Lena imagines Andrea is likely very tired, and is finding it increasingly difficult to stay engaged with the girls, rather than give into exhaustion.
