Millie Is Awake

Mike covered his face with his hand and cried silently.

He was relieved that his daughter was saved. But Melanda, the love of his life, might not come back.

Mike slammed his head against the wall and cursed himself.

"I'm so stupid! I'm such a fool!" When she heard Mike say this, Mike's mother cried and hugged her son.

"Mike, you have to be strong. Millie needs you more than ever now. Melanda will wake up. She will! She's a mother. She'll wake up for Millie and you! She's so strong. She'll get through this safely! Mike, Melanda needs you."

Mike thought to himself over and over again, "Baby, please wake up! Baby, if you can hear me, please come back to me. I can't live without you. I can't raise Millie alone. We need you, my love." In his daze, Mike felt someone touch his cheek gently. He looked up, but there was no one there! He cried harder.
