Rebirth: Dancing In My Destiny
Chapter 263: Awake!

Chapter 263: Awake!

"Uncle Marcel! Please sit down first. Tell me about my mom’s condition..." Rose said as she sat on the sofa, trying to avoid Uncle Marcel’s curious-looking eyes. But Rose didn’t hear any voice from him. She couldn’t help but turn her gaze again to see him, who settled on his seat opposite.

Rose tried to read Uncle Marcel’s expression; he looked calm. But her heart is still ravaging, and the only thing to unravaged it would be knowing whether her Mother will return to her deep sleep again or not.

"She’s fine! You don’t have to worry about anything else...." Before he could finish his words, Rose cut him off with a long chatter. He was speechless.

"Oh my god! Can you say it more clearly? Why is my Mother asleep? Will she wake up, or will she be in a coma again? How can you and my father be so calm when my Mother’s condition is not improving? Uncle, please! Tell me the truth. Don’t hide anything from me. Please!" Rose paused for a breath of air before her sentence.

"Uncle Marcel, I will be heartbroken if my Mother’s condition doesn’t improve. And, do you want to know what cruelty is? You give me empty hope like this. Whenever I ask anyone who checks on my Mother’s condition, you and others will say; Rose, don’t worry, your Mother is fine. But the truth is not. Her condition is not fine. Still the same. Uncle, don’t you know? Until now, my mind has never been calm. I always wondered what really happened to my Mother."

Marcel Quinn wanted to say something, but this girl continued rapping again. He could only laugh in his heart as he continued to listen in silence.

"Uncle, if you don’t tell me what really happened to my mother, I might as well become a patient at your hospital..." Rose paused. He felt tired after talking like a rapper.

"Are you done talking?" Marcel was amused to see Rose catching her breath. Her face was red, and it was clear that there was sweat dripping from her forehead. He was even more in awe of his best friend’s daughter; this little girl is beautiful and academically bright and has other talents; a rapper. If he met her father, he would inform him about this one. That old Nick must be proud.

"Yes, Uncle. So, please tell me everything!" Rose’s eyes fell on Marcell Quinn. Her determination to find her Mother’s exact condition is what she must get now. All this time, Rose didn’t understand the medical terms that her father or the doctors who examined her Mother told her. But this time, she was going to make sure she understood Uncle Marcel’s explanation.

Maybe her father had been hiding something from her all along. But, if she forced Uncle Marcel, to tell the truth, her uncle would definitely say it in simple terms, which she could understand, right?

Evan, who realized his wife was distraught, could only caress her back slowly, trying to calm her raging heart.

"You want to know your mother’s condition?" Marcel Quinn asks calmly.

Rose was speechless.

If she didn’t remember this man was the hospital director and her father’s best friend, she would have asked Evan to slap him in the face.

It sucks!

How could he constantly repeat what he said? In this panic situation? Did he want to cheer her up or what?

Not wanting to show her anger, a fake wide smile appeared on Rose’s face before she said, "Uncle, yes! I wonder about her condition now...." Her voice was soft, but she cursed him several times in her heart.

"She’s fine. You can see it for yourself inside...." Marcel smiled.

Rose clenched her hand into a fist, feeling mad.

This uncle, how could he try to anger her in this situation? Looks like he really needs to be hit. She took a deep breath and looked at Evan, trying to get him to read her mind, and asked him to slap Uncle Marcel so he could understand what she said earlier. But, a few seconds later, she froze after realizing what Uncle Marcel had said.

"Wait, what!? U-Uncle Marcel, are you saying that my Mother is awake!?"

"Yup! She is awake... and you may see her inside." A faint smile appeared on Marcel Quinn’s face when he saw how shocked this little girl was.

"Uncle Marcel! Why didn’t you tell me earlier?" Rose shouts as she runs to her Mother’s room.

"Well, I was about to! But you interrupted with your rap..." Marcel chuckled softly, seeing that the girl had ignored his reply and had disappeared into Molly’s treatment room.

"How could she just run before hearing my explanation?" He murmurs as he turns his gaze to Evan.

"Evan, I’m leaving now. If anything happens, call me...."

Marcel Quinn stood up and left the room with a smile appearing on his face. Now, the source of his headache is gone. He could sleep well because his first brother would not ask him to camp in this hospital again.

He misses his home very much, especially his bed. A week’s sleep in a hospital room, with its stiff mattress, has hurt his back.

"Thank god for making my mom wake up again." Rose was talking to herself as she stood by the door looking at her Mother, who could now sit in bed.

There are no more medical devices attached to her body. All that was left was the IV needle still on the back of her hand. She could see the smile she had missed so much in the past few days. She could see her Mother’s shining eyes again after a few days.

Only God knows how she missed this woman who had given birth to her. A woman who sacrificed a lot just to raise her. She couldn’t imagine having to lose her again in this life.

After she wiped the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes. She slowly walked to the bed. "Mother!" Her voice trembled as she buried herself in her Mother’s arms.
