470 Reunion

Jeslyn awoke to find herself in what looked like her room. She thought it was a figment of her imagination, so she just stared fixedly at nothing in particular.

The door cracked open and closed but Jeslyn didn’t turn to see who was there, thinking it was either Reuben or the team of doctors.

She waited to hear those annoying footsteps but nothing drifted to her ears after so long. Curious, she was about to turn when the space beside her dipped.

Jeslyn’s eyes widened in alarm and she immediately sprung up. Before she could clearly see who it was, she sent a fist towards the person’s neck.

“Go to hell!!”

However, the blow was deflated and what came to view was her husband’s charming face.

“Candy floss, it’s me,” he whispered.

Jeslyn’s mind froze, unable to react to the surprise in front of her.

“Your Plum is back, honey,” he moved closer to her and pulled her into a tight embrace. “I’m sorry,” he added.

His familiar smell and warmth invaded her senses, snapping her out of stupor. Her hands moved on their own like they’ve got their minds and wrapped him tightly.

“Pl- plum? It- it’s really you… You’re back!”

“Yes, I’m back. Punish me for coming late.”

She has been saved!
