A Moment in Destiny

By the time Rae reached the hospital, Mrs Baxter just woke up. She showed Rae a kind smile when she saw Rae. Rae’s eyes turned red when she mentioned Mrs Baxter smiling at her. The first thing that she did in the room was to look at Leonard. He was looking at Rae too with tears in his eyes and even his lips were shivering, “Rae, your mother had woken up!”

Rae quickly went there. She put her bag on the table and rushed to the hospital bed. She was stunned for a moment and she almost could not believe it. Mrs Baxter’s eyes also turned red when she mentioned Rae’s ecstatic expression and it seemed that she still couldn’t believe it. After a while, she blinked her eyes and said a word softly, “Rae…”

“Mum!” Rae was touched and rushed to her instinctively. She grabbed her mother’s hand and buried her face in her mother’s hands. Her tears were spurting out in happiness and surprise.

The warm touch also made Mrs Baxter’s tears gush out at that moment.

How many years had it been? Finally, her long-awaited sweetheart was back!

After seven years, their little sweetheart was back!

Mrs Baxter’s tears were blessed and in happiness.

She and her husband, Leonard were looking at each other and then both of them smiled happily.

Rae wiped off her tears and raised her head. After that, she cried in joy and that was her first time to shout emotionally in front of her parents, “Mum, you really woke up! I thought, I thought that…”

When Rae spoke to that part, she could not control her eyes turning red. Her bright eyes were full of guilt.

How could Mrs Baxter not know it? However, she could not say a word at that moment.

Seeing that both of them were emotional, Leonard came over and spoke to Rae, “Rae, your mum just woke up and she can’t get excited yet!”

Rae understood his words instantly, “I know, I know, I’m just too excited!”

She was speaking a bit incoherently. But soon, she adjusted her emotions and then found that both Leonard and Mrs Baxter were looking at her with kindness in their eyes. Rae was embarrassed at the moment. She smiled at her parents and bowed her head. Then, she stood up again in excitement.

Leonard and Mrs Baxter were smiling and looking at each other.

Rae rushed to the table and opened her bag. She took out a storage bag from it.

Both Leonard and Mrs Baxter were looking at her with surprise. They were a little puzzled by Rae’s action.

Rae opened the storage bag in front of them. The thing inside it was a delicate box. Then, she also opened the box and took out the pair of the Khotan jade pendants from the box. She separated them and gave the jade Goddess to Leonard, “Dad, this is for you. Although this might be the cheapest one compared to all your belongings, it was bought with my salary! This is for mum and it is made of Khotan jade. I really like it and I hope that you all will like it too. Not only that, it also meant good luck for you!”

A dozen cans of beer were scattered on the chair. She thought that it should be beer and two cans of the beers had been opened. It seemed that there was still a cigarette in between Ophelia’s slender fingers.
