Bleeding
Georgina
Are you and Avery back together?
Georgina
But why are you here? I thought Beatrice was her girlfriend.
Gabrielle
She just came back from abroad last week and the day after they arrived, they were rushed to the hospital. Beatrice called me yesterday, she said that Avery was looking for me.
Georgina
Are they still in a relationship?
Gabrielle
No, not anymore.
Magno
Does that mean there is still a chance for you to get back together?
Gabrielle was suddenly taken aback when she was asked such a question.
Gabrielle
Maybe not anymore
Gabrielle
Right now, Avery thinks we're still together, I don't want to tell her because the doctor said she should avoid stress. I'll just help her get her memory back and until Lucas recovers.
Georgina
Maybe our daughter still loves you. You are the reason why she came back here.
Gabrielle
Maybe not, Lucas and Ruby just wanted to see me, so they came back.
They were silent for a moment but the silence was broken when Gabrielle thought to ask a question.
Gabrielle
Do you want us to get back together?
Georgina
Yes, we would love to!
Gabrielle
After I hurt your daughter?
Magno
We know you didn't hurt our daughter, she just thought you found someone else.
Gabrielle
How did you know, Dad?
Magno
I was the first person she called after talking to the person she thought you were hooking up with.
Georgina
We were really angry with you when we found out you cheated on her, so we were the first ones she called.
Gabrielle just nodded and bit her lip.
Magno
Sorry if we put pressure on you. It's just that we can only see that she used to be sad because of the trauma she had from the past but whenever you are with her, then she will be happy. Ever since you broke up, she's been sad again.
Georgina
When Beatrice called us to let us know that they were in a relationship, I couldn't feel from Avery that she was happy. I remembered, when she said yes to your proposal, she told us right away, and we can feel the happiness.
Gabrielle
Not everything goes according to our will.
Gabrielle caressed Lucas' cheek.
When they left the ICU, Georgina carried Ruby and gently tickled her to make her happy while Magno and Gabrielle watched.
Gabrielle
Ruby, come on. Grammy and Grampy has to go.
Magno
Oh, before we go. Gab, please let us know if Lucas is awake. The company is busy now so we can't visit every day.
Georgina
And let us know if anything happens to Avery. We'll visit when we're free, I promise.
Gabrielle
Yes, Mom, I will.
Georgina
Bye, chubby bunny!
When Avery's parents left, Gabrielle and Ruby were about to leave to eat too, but Doctor Wilhelm suddenly stopped them.
Gabrielle
Oh, Doc. How's Avery?
Gabrielle
How was the operation? Is there bad news? Why does your face seem to say something else, doc? Did something happen? Didn't Avery make it? What?
Doctor Wilhelm
Calm down, Gabrielle.
Doctor Wilhelm
She's fine. We have fixed the internal bleeding and will move her to the recovery room for monitoring.
Gabrielle
Can we visit her?
Doctor Wilhelm
She still needs to be monitored by nurses within 45 minutes to 2 hours and then we will move her back to her private room.
Ruby
Hi, Doctor, will my mommy recognize me?
The doctor turned to Ruby for a moment and then turned to Gabrielle in surprise.
Gabrielle
She knows her mommy has amnesia.
Doctor Wilhelm
Your mommy will recognize you, for sure. Will she ever forget someone as cute as you?
After the doctor left, Avery pulled Ruby out to find a restaurant where they could eat.
Ruby
Momma, are you sure that Lucas is going to be fine? I don't think he looks fine.
Gabrielle
He'll be fine, baby, he's as strong as mommy and you.
Ruby
He promised me that when Aunt Beatrice and I get off the plane, he would wave to me while holding you.
Gabrielle stopped chewing her food and looked at Ruby.
Ruby
But when I got off the plane, I didn't see him, he didn't even wave at me.
Ruby
So my wish for the star is that I can still see him happy to see you again, Momma, as happy as when Aunt Beatrice showed us the painting you made for us.
Tears form in Gabrielle's eyes as Ruby talks about how excited Lucas is to see her again.
Before Ruby could finish speaking, Gabrielle suddenly moved to Ruby's side and hugged the girl, tightly.
Gabrielle
Why don't we bond before mommy wakes up?
Ruby
I would love to, momma!
After they ate, Gabrielle immediately looked for a place where Ruby could be happy.
They went to the playground and played. Not only that, but they bought cotton candy and ice cream for dessert. They went to the mall for Gabrielle to buy clothes and toys for Ruby as her gift for the three years they were not together.
When they had made the most of the time, they returned to the hospital to visit Avery again.
Ruby
She's awake, momma! Let's go inside!
When they finally got inside, Avery was surprised to see Ruby running towards her and greeted her with a hug.
Ruby
Mommy, why did you let you and Lucas have an accident?
Gabrielle
Ruby, Mommy didn't let them have an accident. Accident means unintentional.
Avery
What is she talking about, hon?
Gabrielle
It's about the car accident.
Ruby
Mom, did you miss me?
Avery
Of course! It feels like just yesterday, I was with you.
Ruby
Mom, Lucas is not feeling well.
Avery
But he's going to be fine...
Gabrielle
Y-Yeah, tsk! He'll be fine, hon.
Gabrielle
He will be fine.
