Chapter 37
[A/N: I had a sleepover last night at my bestie's place! Amazing fun! That's why I couldn't update yesterday. Forgive me. But then, what's life without a few fun days?]
He felt color leach off his face momentarily. What was Dr. Khurana asking? How in the freaking hell was he supposed to say that out loud without coming off as a lunatic?
And that's when he remembered, he couldn't speak. Ohh Dear Lord, he couldn't thank his throat enough for being unable to function.
"Unnghh.." He grunted, indicating that his voice wasn't at its best.
"Don't try this hard, beta. It'll take time for you to recuperate." The doctor informed professionally, and then his eyes seemed to soften up.
"Let me give you some good news, maybe it'll help you heal faster." He continued, "Your mother was conscious for two whole hours last night." The smile on the doctor's face was extremely serene; hoping the child in him would feel at ease listening to this piece of news.
He just closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep. He didn't want the whole world to see the turmoil raging inside him at the mere mention of mother. He just needed peace for some time.
Later that night, he could regain almost as much motion as possible. He was walking now, and couldn't be gladder. That's when he heard the arrival of his father, and prepared himself for the thrashing that was definitely about to come.
