Finally Awake

"W-Water…" Hugo's voice stuttered as he reached out for Verda's hand. His hand held unto his head, he felt his world spinning as if he was unconscious for days.

"HUGO!" Verda's eyes widened in shock. She quickly went closer to Hugo, with tears pooling in her eyes.

"How are you?"

"I'm fine, Mother." He breathed out. He leaned against the headboard of the bed and closed his eyes. "How many days have passed?"

"You have been unconscious for a week already." Verda took a deep breath. When she saw that Hugo was having a hard time speaking, she instantly stood up to do what he requested earlier.

Giving Hugo a cup of water, she watched him as he finishes it in just a few seconds. "Do you feel better now?" She worriedly looked at him.

Nodding his head, Hugo looked around when he remembered Hailey. Fear consumed his heart when he saw that she wasn't in the room.

"Mother, where is Hailey?" Before he could even make assumptions in his mind, he asked to avoid unwanted thoughts from coming.
