Sarah, who was on the brink of sobbing, froze. Then, tears of joy streamed down her face as she asked in surprise, She woke up? But her heart had stopped How did she come around?
It took a moment for the news to sink in, but when it did, happiness overwhelmed Sarah. She exclaimed, So shes okay now? Can we see her?
The doctor nodded. Yes, but please stay calm and dont disturb her rest.
Thank you, doctor, Maxwell said, smiling as he hurried toward the room, nearly bumping into Sarah in his haste.

Sarah staggered, but Aziel swiftly caught her. Are you alright? he asked, worry etched on his face as he checked if Sarah was injured.
Im fine, Sarah reassured him, puzzled by Maxwells sudden entrance.
Turning to Aziel, she asked, Whats got him more excited than us? Hes just Sonias boss, right? Why is he so worried about her? Are bosses really that caring these days?
Probably just a corporate strategy, Aziel replied, still upset from before.
Sonias such a capable employee. Hes probably just pretending to care so that he can keep exploiting her.
Do you really think so? Sarah asked, leaning closer to Aziel with a playful grin. I think its not that simple.
She speculated further, saying, Look at Maxwell. Since Sonias accident, hes been here every day, more on time than a clock. He even signed the critical condition notice and brought gifts. Now that Sonias awake, hes super excited. Could there be more going on between him and Sonia?
Aziel replied, Even if theres anything, its probably Maxwells one-sided fantasy. Sonia might not like him.
Sarah nodded. Youre probably right. If Sonia liked Maxwell, she would make it obvious. Besides, Sonias into a different type of guys, more like those movie stars.
Meanwhile, Sonia slowly opened her eyes. Her mind was cloudy, her vision hazy. Her waist and abdomen felt numb and weak.
As she blinked, her vision cleared, and suddenly, Maxwells stunning face appeared remarkably close to hers.
Sonias mind wasnt clear yet. She looked at Maxwell, thinking she must be dreaming.

She closed her eyes again and counted to three in her mind. She silently prayed that if she was guilty of anything, God would let the law judge her and not let some greedy capitalist appear the moment she opened her eyes.
After giving herself a mental pep talk, she opened her eyes again. But still, the first thing she saw in front of her was Maxwells face.
Sonia looked at Maxwell blankly. It turned out she was not dreaming at all.
When Sonia had closed her eyes, Maxwell had actually thought she had fallen asleep again. So, when he saw her open her eyes again, he was visibly pleased. He said, Youre finally awake! And for that, I wont deduct your salary for your absences. Ill even give you a bonus to cheer you up.
Sonia couldnt help rolling her eyes. The happy smile on Maxwells face made her feel resigned.
She had barely escaped from the jaws of death. Salaries and bonuses were the last things on her mind now.
But she also noticed that Maxwells good mood was genuine. Was he really happy to see her awake?
Sonia wasnt sure about it. But she must admit that his cheerfulness was strangely contagious. She didnt even realize she was already smiling.
