Hope It's Not Too Late to Love

Chapter 56

Vania scanned her surroundings and realized that she was currently at the hospital

She could recall being hit by a car, but as for who rescued her afterward and how she arrived at the hospital she was completely clueless about all this. She tried to recall the situation, but she felt her head throb painfully and instinctively frowned.

James instantly held her hand. “Mommy, what‘s wrong?”

Jack also quickly pressed the bell to buzz for help. “The doctor will be here right away.”

As for Jacob, he used his soft little hands and took a towel to wipe the beads of sweat on Vania‘s forehead. “Mommy, where exactly do you feel unwell?”

Vania bravely smiled when she saw the worried looks on the faces of her three kids. “Don‘t worry, kids, I‘m fine. I don‘t feel unwell at all right now.”

However, the sinile that she revealed was quite painful as it stretched her dry, chapped lips. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

James immediately grabbed some water and put a straw inside to place in front of Vania. “Mommy, have a sip of water. I‘ve added some sugar inside. I remember that you used to make us some sugary

drinks when we were sick, so it‘s our turn to do this for you now that you‘re unwell.”

Jack also held her hand tightly. “Mommy, you‘ve been unconscious for more than a day after being hit by the car. We were so frightened. If you‘re unwell, you must mention it. The three of us will be able to take good care of you.”

A teary–eyed Jacob leaned against her arm. “Mommy, do you hurt anywhere? You can cry if it hurts. Don‘t force yourself to tolerate it.”

At that point, Vania was quite touched. There seemed to always be a different revelation from her kids that amazed her. She tried to lift her arm with much difficulty as she stroked her three babies on their faces. “Thanks, kids. I feel great right now. I‘m not in pain at all with you guys around me.”

Subsequently, Vania turned to look at Linda and seemed to be trying to signal with her eyes to find out what was going on as she couldn‘t quite recall the incident.

Linda moved forward with a worried expression. “Boss, you came out from Hammond International Hotel the other day and were on the way back to the company, but there was a driver who came in the wrong direction and hit you. The bystanders called the cops, and help was sent for you. The outcome of the investigation was that the other party had driven under the influence of alcohol, and the driver was pronounced dead on the scene.”

Vania nodded her head in response. It seemed that the car crash had been concluded as an accident.

However, she instructed Linda, “Continue investigating the matter.”

“Boss, I‘ve already continued to investigate this matter. Don‘t stress yourself about this. It‘s much more important for you to rest and recuperate so that you can recover soon. Otherwise, the three little masters won‘t feel at ease too.”

Vania nodded her head and held her three sons‘ hands. “Have the three of you been by my side all this while? You haven‘t been getting much rest, huh?”

James couldn‘t care less about resting. “Mommy, you were unwell, so we should stay by your side. It‘s what we should do.”

“James is right. We should take care of you, Mommy. You‘ve always taken care of us when we were sick too. Right now, you‘re the priority, so you shouldn‘t worry about us.”

Jacob spoke up in a gentle voice, “Mommy, you‘re our little princess. We have to protect you.”

At that point, Vania was extremely touched by their words. She was just about to advise them to go and take a rest when the doctor making rounds knocked on the door to enter the room.

The doctor saw that Vania was conscious, so he stepped forward to check on her. After thoroughly examining her, he spoke up in a professional tone. “Hi, I‘m the doctor in charge of you. You‘ve been involved in a very serious car crash this time, and you‘ve suffered fractures all over the body. You will need to be on bed rest for a month, and you‘re not allowed to move unnecessarily. Besides, you must adhere strictly to my instructions and come back regularly for check–ups and physiotherapy”

“Doctor are my injuries that serious?” Vania was a little worried about her condition.

However, the doctor reassured her and said, “Even though your injuries are serious, your life isn‘t in danger since you didn‘t sustain any internal injuries. Most of your injuries only penetrated your skin, but you‘ve suffered many fractures in your body, so you need more time to rest.”

After listening to him, she breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you, doctor.”

Meanwhile, her three sons also felt assured.

After nodding his head, the doctor reminded the family members in the ward by saying, “The patient needs more care and a lighter diet. If there are any other problems, you can contact me right away.”

Linda nodded back before sending the doctor away herself. “I‘ll keep an eye on her.”

Although Vania had just woken up, her body was still weak, so she began to feel dizzy.

As she resisted the urge to sleep, she said, “My darlings, why don‘t you ask Aunt Linda to take you back home? You‘ve already accompanied me for a whole day. All of you need some rest.”

Her three sons shook their heads at the same time. “We don‘t need to rest. We want to stay with you all the time

“I know that you are worried about me, but the doctor just said that I‘ll be resting in the hospital for a long time. I will need all of your company, so I can‘t exhaust you all on the first day. What will I do afterward?” she urged them to leave. “Since there are so many doctors and nurses here, I‘ll be fine. Please listen to me and go back home. James, you can come to visit me tonight with Aunt Theresa and leave your brothers at home. Then, it will be Jack‘s turn to visit me tomorrow. In this case, you all can keep me company without tiring yourselves out. What do you think?”

Her three sons grouped together and thought for a while. A moment of hesitation later, they nodded. “Alright. We‘ll listen to you, Mommy.”

Then, James stood out and said, “They can go back and rest, but I have to stay here so that I can see you all the time. It‘s the only way we can be assured.”

Jack and Jacob also nodded their heads, and it seemed like they wouldn‘t leave if she didn‘t comply.

In the end, Vania took a step back and compromised. “Alright, that settles it.”

Fortunately, she was staying in a private ward that was equipped with an area for family members to rest. The environment wasn‘t that noisy either, so it wasn‘t a big problem for a kid to stay there.

Then, she looked at Linda and said, “You should go back and have some rest too. You can come here tomorrow.”

“In that case, I‘ll send Jack and Jacob back home.” Linda nodded.

With that, Jack and Jacob reluctantly said their goodbyes to Vania.

As James lay down on a bed and looked at Vania, she gently murmured, “Go to sleep.”

He was still a child after all. After being frightened and staying up all night, he fell asleep the moment he closed his eyes.

With a loving smile, she also fell asleep soundly.

Meanwhile, in the research room on the top floor of the hospital, a slender man in a white coat came
