Chapter 71

• Lucas' sight was blurry when he opened his eyes for the first time since the accident. The sound of the beeping of the hospital machines was foreign to him as he tried to recall where he was.
• Daphne was already dozed off on a sofa nearby. She had taken the kids to school and was back at the hospital to look after her brother. The sound of his stirring woke her up and she pressed the emergency bell immediately to call on the doctor.
• She rushed to where he was and looked him in the eyes, her heartbeat becoming faster.
