“Yes, it’s all the way inside,” Skye replied.


    Ste left the room and walked towards the kitchen.


    There was someone preparing breakfast inside.


    She grabbed a pot and added a lot of water inside. She then took a few fresh tomatoes and onions from the pantry.


    “We have prepared your breakfast,” Skye informed.


    “But you didn’t prepare my husband’s,” Ste said firmly.


    “Mr. Milton has the IV drip. It has sufficient nutrients for him,” Skye exined.


    “His brain is damaged, but his other organs still work. If he doesn’t eat proper food, then the other parts of his body will deteriorate,” Ste said as she chopped up the onions and poured them into the pot.


    “Let me remind youthatif he eats, he will defecate,” Skye warned.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    “I know, and that’s up to me. He’s my husband, and I’ll take care of him. Plus, I was also a doctor before. Don’t worry,” Ste said firmly.


    Instead of arguing with her, Skye sneaked out and reported this to Bemy.


    “Let her be. You just need to cooperate with her,” Bemy replied in a deep voice.


    …


    Atst, Ste was done cooking. Since Jasper hadn’t eaten actual food in a long time, he couldn’t consume the solids for the time being. For now, he could only take liquids.


    Apart from that, he couldn’t take liquids inrge amounts either as his digestive system was no longer used to it.


    She only fed a few spoonfuls of the tomato soup to Jasper.


    As he was unconscious and couldn’t swallow, she had to hold his face and transfer the soup down his throat by sticking her lips onto his.


    His lips were as cold as ice. Only after she rested her mouth on his that there was a slight warmth.


    Ste carried a tub of warm water into the room. She unbuttoned his shirt and wiped his body with a towel soaked in the warm water.


    She trimmed his nails after that. It was already 8 a. m. after she was done washing him up.


    Then, she proceeded to have her breakfast.


    During breakfast, she asked Skye, “May I ask if you have any books here?”


    “Yes, there’s a library here especially for us. Mr. Chuck was afraid that we would be bored, so he built it. We could also surf the inte in there,” Skye replied.


    “I see. By the way, could my husband wash his hair?” Ste asked.


    “Yes,” Skye said with a smile, “Since you’re here, we feel like you’ve taken a huge weight off our shoulders.”


    “I hope that all of you could cure my husband,” Ste blurted out of nowhere.


    The atmosphere in the room suddenly became very tense.Ste’s gaze darkened at the same time.


    A bullet had passed through the back of Jasper’s head, it was a miracle that he was even alive. Right now, her request was just asking for a little too much. Her only hope was to find Boris.


    Ste went to the library and picked out a fantasy novel after breakfast.


    In this novel, human beings could live for hundreds of thousands of years through hibernation.


    If there really was that kind of technology, she would wish to hibernate with Jasper. Then, she would wait for technology to advance until they found a cure for Jasper.


    She didn’t care how much the times might change,or how many years would pass.


    All she cared about was the two of them being together. If things were that way, she would be able to enjoy watching the flowers bloom and wilt as Master Olgic had described.


    She washed Jasper’s hair in the afternoon.


    She knew nothing about what was happening outside the base as the days passed.There was also no news about Boris.


    Jasper could consume a small amount of liquids now. She didn’t want Jasper’s organs or muscles to waste away, so she and the staff would lift Jasper to stroll around for an hour every day.


    Ste had even given birth to her son… But Jasper still hadn’t woken up.


    She didn’t leave the base either. During the day, she would carry her child and cuddle him. Then, she would talk to Jasper, cook a little, and read to Jasper and her son.


    There were many doctors there who helped take care of her son. Ste was fond of cooking, so she would cook for the doctors too.


    On this day, the baby kept crying for no reason. He cried so much that it made Ste uneasy.He wouldn’t stop crying no matter how much she coddled him.


    “Ste, why don’t you bring the baby outside for a bit? Maybe it’s too stuffy in here,” a doctor suggested.


    Ste pondered for a moment.


    She could just slip out for a second. Nothing would happen, right?


    “Okay, I’ll only be gone for an hour. I’ll just be at thewn outside. I won’t be far,” Ste said to the doctor.


    One of them asked Bemy for permission.


    After getting his word, they arranged for a car to send Ste up to the grasnd.


    Once they reached the grasnd, the little baby was intrigued by the colorful world outside. He stopped crying and peered around curiously.


    Ste set him down gently on the ground.


    The baby was already seven months old. He could move, crawl, and pluck the grass around him.


    Ste was afraid that he would catch a cold, soshe picked him back upafter letting him y for a few minutes.


    The little fellow was so intrigued that he kept dipping his head towards the ground.


    Taking off her sweater, shey it on the ground before cing the baby on top of it.


    After being set down, he continued plucking the grass around him. Something so simple could keep him entertained.


    Ste looked up at the sky. It was exceptionally blue today, and the wind was a little chilly. Picking up her phone, she was about to call Skye to ask him to bring her jacket over.


    However, Skye called her first.


    “Mrs. Milton, Mr. Milton is awake,” Skye reported happily.


    Ste was stunned for a moment. She was so excited that her voice trembled. “Really?”


    “Yes, I’ll send a car to pick you up now,” Skye said and hung up.


    Ste smiled happily, and there were no words to describe how she felt. She picked up the baby and said, “Sweetheart, your Daddy’s awake!”


    The baby seemed to be infected by Ste’s happiness. He waved his hands up and down and kicked his legs happily.


    Lifting him to the sky, Ste eximed, “Ah! Your Daddy’s awake! Isn’t that amazing?”


    The baby giggled happily in reply.


    The car arrived for them not long after. Ste was about to get into the car, but the baby kept making a fuss. He gurgled a lot and pointed outside.


    “Be good, my boy. Your Daddy’s awake. We could go out and y together in the future. You’ll have to wait just a while longer,” Ste said happily.


    Not knowing whether he understood anything, the baby just pulled at his mouth and stared back at Ste with hisrge eyes.


    Ste flew at the speed of light to Jasper’s ward.


    Arge group of doctors was doing an examination on Jasperin front of the hospital bed,


    Ste walked in with the child in her arms.


    Jasper also saw Ste. The corners of his mouth raised into a smile. With much difficulty, he muttered one word,” Ste.”


    Feeling emotional, Ste carried the child to Jasper’s side and wept tears of joy. “Jasper, you’ve finally woken up.”


    She was overjoyed. It all felt so surreal to her.


    Jasper’s gaze slowlynded on the baby.


    “He’s our son. You’ve been asleep for a long time. Look at how big he is now. I haven’t given him a name because I was waiting for you to wake up,” Ste exined.


    Jasper’s eyes shifted back to Ste as he reached his hand out.


    She lowered her body with the baby in her arms.


    Jasper caressed her face.


    She could finally feel the warmth of his palms.


    Taking it all in, she rubbed her face against his hand like a kitten…
