Thalassa ended the call, a wave of concern washing over her as she gazed upon Hertha, lying still in the hospital bed.
Being a mother herself, Thalassa understood the deep bond between a mother and her children. The sound Hertha probably longed for the most right now was the voices of her little ones.
Maybe, just maybe, if she could hear them call out "Mommy," she might wake up sooner? Thalassa and Lydia were keeping a vigilant watch over Hertha when the soft, tender voices of two little angels echoed from the doorway.

"Yeah, nurse," piped up the little boy, his words laced with concern. "Mommy loves us best, and we love her most. She's hurt and in pain, and I want to blow on it to make it better." The nurse, her heart swelling with affection, softened her voice. "Sweethearts, what's your mommy's name? If you tell me, I can help you find which room she's in." "Thank you, they're looking for their mother, Hertha," Bridget interjected, recalling the room number Thalassa had given but which had slipped her mind in the rush of concern.
"Hertha, yes, she's in this very room," the nurse indicated, pointing to a nearby doorway.
"Thank you so much," Bridget said gratefully, ushering Julian and Helena towards the room. S~Earch the Find_Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
At that moment, Thalassa appeared at the door to greet them, just in tto meet Bridget, who was leading the two little cherubs by the hand.
"Bridget, cin," Thalassa beckoned.

Thalassa quickly knelt to embrace them, whispering softly, "Julian, Helena, it's so good to see you. But I need to discuss something with you. We must keep our voices down, and when we see your mommy, you can look but don't touch, okay?" "Why not? I want to hug Mommy," Helena pouted, her plump cheeks puffing out adorably as she tilted her head in confusion, her bright eyes shimmering with longing.

Thalassa explained gently, "Your mommy has svery serious injuries, and noise could make her hurt more. If we accidentally touch her head, it could lead into a life-threatening situation. So, we can only look and not touch, alright?"
Thalassa wanted the children to see Hertha, to reassure them and let them know that their mother's m absence wasn't due to a lack of love, but because she couldn't physically be with them. However, all of this was contingent upon ensuring Hertha's safety.
Thalassa had read a once where the male protagonist, diagnosed with a severe concussion, was on the mend until an inadvertent push to the head by the female lead resulted in his death. To prevent such a tragedy, Thalassa couldn't allow such a thing to happen. Julian and Helena were particularly attached to Hertha, and Thalassa knew that seeing her might make them want to leap into her arms. The consequences of any sudden movements could be disastrous, so she had to prepare them in advance.
Although Julian and Helena were young, the gravity of what "life-threatening" meant had beem explained to them through stories. They understood that it meant possibly never seeing someone again, and this knowledge made them immediately cautious at Thalassa's words. X
