Lydia
"Lydia??"
I was hearing familiar voices saying my name quietly.
I started opening my eyes slowly, trying to adjust my eyes in the light again, like a newborn baby.
I saw two blurred figures and when I was able to see them clearly, I recognised Vicky and Peter.
"Lydia are you okay??" Vicky asked "Talk to us please.."
I looked around me confused, trying to remember where I was and how I had been here through my foggy mind.
It looked like a hospital and I was laid on a bed.
What the heck?? I thought curiously
"Lydia please say something.." Peter said almost worriedly
I still couldn't make sense. What was happening?? Why was I there??
I was trying so hard to remember that I was forgetting to answer them.
That probably made them worry more, but why should they be worried??
"Is there a possibility not to remember us??" Peter asked Vicky worried
"Don't be silly!! She must have fallen on the ground, if she wasn't able to remember us. We managed to catch her in time!! She is just confused, give her some time!!" She answered
He was about to talk again, when I finally spoke for first time.
"Where am I??" I asked with hoarse voice
They looked back at me almost enthusiastically.
"She talked, thank God!!" Vicky exclaimed
"Lydia how do you feel??" Peter asked
"A little dizzy yet.. but okay.." I answered "What happened?? Why am I here??"
"You fainted because you were upset about Markella.." Vicky answered
At the mension of my daughter, I suddenly remembered everything.
My sunshine is in danger!! The thought came to my mind like an alarm
The instict of motherhood almost made me jump out of the bed, but Vicky and John stopped me in time and pushed me gently back to bed.
"It's okay Lydia, calm down.." Vicky soothed me
"Don't worry anymore. Someone that had the same blood type with the little one was found, he gave the necessary amount of blood and now Markella is saved. She is already awake, your father is with her.." Peter said
"What??" I asked surprised
"Yes.. " Vicky said smiling "Don't worry anymore, she is fine.."
"Really??" I asked tearing "You don't try just to soothe me, right??"
"No, no she is really fine." Peter said smiling
"I must go see her.." I said trying to stand up, but they pushed me again back to bed
"Doctor said for you to rest a little bit and we will go later." Vicky said
I wanted to resist and run immediately to my baby, but I was feeling weak.
I started tearing repeatedly out of happiness.
God had smiled to me again, giving me my sunshine healthy, safe and sound.
"Thank You my God!! Thank You!!" I said crying silently "Thank You so much!!"
**
We stayed at the hospital four days in order to make sure that Markella was absolutely fine.
