Amelia didn't know for how long she slept or what time it was when she finally opened her eyes. But the sight of some team of doctors and nurses leaving the room told her that, it was already daybreak.
Suppressing a yawn that almost escaped her mouth, she pushed herself up into a sitting position, rubbing her bleary eyes.
"Good morning, sweetheart." Judith smiled, walking up to her and hugging her briefly.
"Good morning Aunt Judy. What time is it?"
"11:00 AM"
Amelia's eyes widened. "I slept that long." She asked standing up, her gaze travelling to her father who was wide awake and staring amusingly at her. She observed the way his bed head had been adjusted to a comfortable angle that made it easy for him to eat and drink comfortably.
"That's because you were very tired. But I'm happy you did." The senator said, beaming.
"Good morning Daddy." Amelia made her over to her father's bedside and hugged him, before sitting beside him.
