Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 523 Awakening

Eddy was not in the best of health, not by a long shot. And after such a major surgery, it could not be expected that he would wake up quickly. He would need his rest.

Eventually, after three extremely long days, he opened his little eyes.

He had beautiful, long eyelashes. They fluttered like a butterfly flapping its wings as he slowly came to consciousness. Finally, he opened his eyes, fulfilling the wish that everyone was so longing to see come true.

His eyes were slightly glazed over. He blinked and when he opened them again, they looked more clear and full of life.

Everyone watching from outside waiting in bated breath. The girls covered their mouths with their hands, afraid they might not be able to control their nerves and let out an involuntary squeak or cry that would disturb him.

He was hooked up to a ventilator so it was difficult for him to move. Gradually and with due caution, he peered outside and began feeling more like himself.

He took in his surroundings and realized that he was in hospital.

What had transpired just before he had blacked out started slowly coming back to him. He opened his eyes wide in fear and thought of Ella. 'What had happened to her? Was she okay?' Then he saw her outside the window, and his anxiety abated.

He was relieved to see that Ella was just fine.

"Anne, Mom, you two go in." Kevin turned to look at them.

Eddy was still very weak, and he had just awakened. It was better if fewer people went into see him, so as not to disturb his rest or overwhelm him. Plus, in this state, it was doubtful that he would be able to talk for much time.

Selma nodded repeatedly, very happy that she could finally see her grandson. Anne said gently, "Ella, come with us."

Over the past few days, Ella had been in a bad state. She had not eaten much and had even lost weight in this short span of time. Moreover, what was happening with her father had taken such a toll on her that she was almost about to collapse.

It was unbelievable that anyone, let alone this young child, could withstand such trauma. Whatever had happened in respect of Eddy, she was definitely worthy of full forgiveness.

Albeit that this was the case, Anne was too preoccupied with business affairs to be at Ella's side, comforting her.

This was the natural consequence that had come of that.

After several days of crying, Ella's eyes had become red and puffy. When she heard Anne's words, she immediately looked up.

There was a look of endearment and tenderness on Anne's face. She looked at Ella as she used to, before everything had gone awry. Instantly, Ella covered her mouth in shock.

"Ella, do you want to go in with us?" Selma, who was also supposedly incredibly hateful towards Ella for what she had done, also asked.

Ella nodded. She wanted to see Eddy so that she could apologize.

Eddy was laying quietly in his bed, looking out of the nearby window. He was confused about what had happened but he also had a great sense of relief.

This was not something that could not be forgiven. No one had made an unforgivable mistake.
