Chapter 90

"Pumpkin." Nathan called out weakly.

Hilda held onto Nathan's hand tightly as she cried tears of joy. "Nathan, you are up."

"Yes." He responded as he squeezed his face from the pain with much difficulty.

When Hilda saw that she quickly said. "Lemme call the doctor." With that she began to wheel herself from the room. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't wheel it. She wasn't used to the wheelchair so she had no idea how to operate it.

She then yelled out. "Samuel." But there was no response. She then called out again. But it was the same deafening silence.

She felt dejected and turned to look at Nathan who had his eyes closed again.

She held him by the hand and shook him a little scared. "Nathan?"

He didn't make any movement. Hilda freaked out and shook him again. "Nathan?" This time around, he responded weakly.

"Mmm" He was in so much pain that he couldn't bring himself to open his eyes again. And then seeing Hilda in the hospital gown, he couldn't fathom what was going on.
