Cooper was stunned into silence, and he thought he was dreaming.

On the other hand, Linus reacted swiftly by standing up. “She’s awake, she’s awake! Quick!”

The medical staff, who were on standby for the longest time, came rushing over. Cooper, who was rendered motionless by shock, was pushed to the side straight away.

Cooper was still in shock even after Sophia had been wheeled into the operation theater. When he saw that the light of the operation theater was turned on, he mumbled, “She’s awake… My daughter’s awake?”

After the rescue, Sophia finally made it through miraculously. Her vitals were normal, and everything indicated that she was on the path of recovery.

She woke up for real the next day.

Her eyelashes fluttered lightly like wings of a butterfly before she opened her eyes.

Cooper, who had been staring at her all the while, held onto her hands immediately. “Sophia, you’re awake,” he whispered.

Sophia was bleary-eyed, and her eyesight had not returned to normal yet. However, she knew who that person was because she had been listening to the person speaking to her for the past two days. She just didn’t have the strength to open her eyes to look at him.

 

This man’s name is Cooper Mitchell, and he is my father. He is the father I’ve spent years searching to no avail, but I’ve stumbled upon him under the most unimaginable circumstances. My father, who has been known for his ruthlessness and cruelty, has rescued all the infected victims to save me.

Holding onto her fixation toward her father, Sophia mustered all her strength to open her eyes and escape from the cold and dark world.

 

“Dad.” That was the first word she uttered when her lips parted. Her voice box was damaged, and so she sounded like she was exhaling as she spoke in a whisper. Nevertheless, Cooper heard what she said clearly and started crying tears of joy. To have my daughter address me as her dad feels so much more surreal and beautiful than a dream.

He nodded, and his tears came rolling down. He was about to say something, but his voice caught in his throat as he sobbed.

Sophia forced a smile with difficulty, and she called out again, “Dad.”

Her voice was still frail like before, as if she was merely breathing. Nevertheless, Cooper nodded happily, and his voice was trembling. “I’m here. I am right here…”
