David is still lying unconscious like that, looking at him when he sleeps is gentle and a little... lovely.
Ella took the washcloth from his forehead down to his face, her fingers softly brushing his brows, nose, tip of nose and lips.
"David, why haven't you woken up yet? Are you mad at me because I broke up with you before?"
Her hand was on David's face for a long time, her tear-filled eyes still wouldn't leave his face, she hated the air tube across his nose... why hadn't he woken up yet?
Ella put the towel in the basin of water beside her and continued to wipe David's hands. She took his large hand and placed it on her cheek, still looking at him, she said chokingly. "Sorry, if I hadn't asked you to return to City X at that moment, you wouldn't have been in a traffic accident. It was my fault. David, please, wake up. I promise you, I will. don't give up. I will try to protect our love. As long as you wake up. Open your eyes and look at me, please."
Ella took David's in both hands, hot, salty tears rolling down her cheeks to his hands.
"Stop sleeping, okay? I miss you so much. You still owe me a wedding, don't you?"
It's been more than five days, and David still hasn't woken up...
Putting the blanket back on David, Ella looked at him for a moment, ran a hand through his hair, and stood up. She went to the window and pulled the curtain.
Outside the campus, there are many sunflowers in bloom. The yellow petals are very beautiful.
She turned her head to look at David lying on the bed, her tone bitter. "David, the sunflower here is not as beautiful as the sunflower pot you gave me."
She gave a weak smile and went back to the chair beside the bed, taking David's hand, she spoke softly. "You gave me a sunflower pot but I broke it. You woke up and gave me another sunflower pot, okay?"
She buried her face in his palm for a long time, her tears falling down his hand again.
On Friday, David was still the same.
It's been over a week and David still hasn't woken up. Every day Ella is at the hospital taking care of him.
Outside David's hospital room has also increased protection because of his identity. That's why Key must be very careful with the outside, especially the media, absolutely not letting the story of David being in a coma spread to the outside.
Two months later.
David hasn't woken up yet. Ella spends more time with him, talking to him.
As usual, after cleaning up, Ella started to clean David's body again, often skipping meals just to sit and talk with David. Now, she doesn't cry as much as in the early days, she just talks to him more and more.
"You've been asleep for two months, how long are you going to sleep? You should wake up, okay? I and your mother got along well. I don't know if I should thank Maria. Thanks to her I'm fine. Only with your mother can you get along."
Ella kept talking, talking, and talking but David still wouldn't move or show any signs of waking up, she sighed, tears welling up in her eyes.
"You know, Raymon took over the company, he partnered with Maria, erased your projects. Your father went abroad on a business trip for six months, and Key and I couldn't do anything. Grandpa is old and can't come to the company. You have to wake up to solve this, or else Raymon will transfer all the shares of the company into his bank account."
Ella spoke nonstop, David still lying on the bed, seemingly able to hear everything.
While wiping David's body, Ella sat looking at him for a long time, her right hand holding his, her left hand pressed to his cheek, she said in a voice that was angry but crying. "David, why don't you wake up? Every day, you're fine, aren't you? Now, you're lying here again."
She finished scolding but still saw David lying still, she wiped her tears and lowered her voice pleadingly. "David, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have raised my voice at you. But if I'm quiet like this, you'll be lazy, not waking up."
Her hands took him, buried her face in, and collapsed on the bed, she sobbed. "You're evil, why don't you open your eyes and look at me?"
Her cries echoed throughout the hospital room.
The sunflower garden is full of yellow petals, David got lost here, this place is like a maze, he doesn't know if this is a dream or an illusion, or if it's real. He heard someone crying and someone's voice in his ear, bitter, sweet, bitter, but a voice so familiar to him, a voice that was so deeply imprinted in his head, at his heart, is the voice of the woman he loves with all his life and life.
That deep, gentle voice called his name, bringing him out from the darkness.
David hears her calling him, he hears her telling him memories, and he also hears her telling their stories.
David felt her tears, drop by drop, drop by drop on his cheek, his heart ached. In this life, the thing he doesn't want to see the most is her tears, he wants to see her smile, happy.
It's her... Ella...
But where is she?
Sunflowers were everywhere, but she couldn't be seen.
David's footsteps were slow and moving forward. As he left, he called. "Ella, where are you?"
In front of him suddenly appeared a woman wearing a white wedding dress and she was looking at him, smiling.
"David, why did you come now"
David reached out his hand towards her, his voice was urgent. "Ella, it's you, right?"
Ella in a wedding dress is as beautiful as an angel, her smile is very bright but her eyes are sad, she lifts her skirt and turns to run.
David ran after him, running and calling urgently. "Ella, please, don't run. Ella..."
Present.
David tried to struggle, using his will to struggle, but it didn't seem to have any effect, he still couldn't speak, his eyes couldn't open, still couldn't move, only worry in his heart.
Ella frantically gripped David's shoulders, she called his name and patted his cheek.
"David, wake up quickly. I'm here. I'm Ella. Please wake up, please."
David kept calling. "Ella, don't run away, wait for me. Ella..."
Ella was so worried and heartbroken that she burst into tears, she sobbed. "David, wake up."
She pressed the red button on the wall.
