and her morning passed just like that.
It was already 3.00PM by the tJacques returned from his rest. When he stepped out of the elevator, he found Josephine sitting
there like a statue, waiting for her man.
Jacques brought a snack with him and handed it to her, feeling bad for the woman. “Please eat something, Miss Jacobson. Mr.
Ethan will scoldif he wakes up and finds out | haven't been taking care of you.”
“| really hope he wakes up soon.” Josephine felt as if she had been living in a dream these past few days, for everything seemed so

Ethan was immediately taken to the ICU for examination.
Donna, who had been waiting at the hospital, had red and swollen eyes. Her heart was shattered, and when she saw Josephine, she
went up and hugged the young woman. Both women burst into tears simultaneously.
“You've had it rough this time, Josephine,” said Donna, deeply moved by Josephine’s affection for her son. She saw Josephine’s

“He'll be fine.” Donna nodded tearfully. Meanwhile, Josephine called her parents to update them on her situation. She continued to

“I will. I'm a little tired from all the fun, Mom, so I'll go get srest.’ Josephine couldn't chat with her mother for too long, afraid
