His foot tapped along to the beat, his b*dy swaying in time with the music. He didn’t care who might see him; in this moment, he was consumed by sheer elation. The worries and doubts that had plagued him earlier had dissolved into the background, replaced with sick excitement! None that no one could destroy!
As the chorus approached, Michael’s voice rose with even greater enthusiasm. “I gotta feeling that tonight’s gonna be a good night” Micheal sang till the world around him faded away.
Michael rushed out of the car as if propelled by an invisible force, bursting through the doors of the hospital with a strength that came from the unknown. His eyes scanned the area, his heart racing in his ch*st , as he approached the nurses‘ station with an eagerness,
“Excuse me!” he called out, his voice filled with urgency and excitement. “I’m looking for Alexia. Can you please tell me where she is?”
The nurses, caught off guard by his fervor, exchanged glances but couldn’t help but be cap by his infectious enthusiasm. One of them pointed towards a room down the hallway, a warm smile lighting up her face. “She’s in room 302, down that corridor. You can’t miss it.”
Without wasting a second, Michael dashed down the hallway, his footsteps echoing with anticipation. The door to room 302 came into view, and he pushed it open with a gentle urgency.
And there she was
Alexia, his love, lay in the hospital bed, her eyes widening in surprise as Michael burst into the room. Shock was painted on her pale face. Without a second thought, he took a few strides across the room and he closed the distance between them, his arms enveloping her in a tight, warm embrace.
The world around them seemed to fade away as they held each other, the worries and hardships of the past melting into insignificance.
Michael buried his face in the crook of Alexia’s n*eck, inhaling her familiar scent, and whispered into her ear, his voice filled. with tenderness and relief. “Alexia, my love, you have no idea how much I’ve missed you. I can’t believe you’re here, in my
armis, awake.”
Alexia’s voice trembled with emotion as she held him just as tightly, her voice choked with tears of joy. “Michael, I’ve missed you too.” She paused and then continued after examining the hospital walls “Why am I here again?” She enquired, with a confused look on her face.
“You don’t have to worry about that now, Alexia. The best thing now is that you’re conscious and that’s what matters.” Micheal assured her.
They stood there, wrapped in each other’s embrace, their hearts beating in unison and In that moment, time seemed to stand still as they basked in the warmth and comfort of their reunion.
Miles gently released Alexia from the hug, sensing his brother’s arrival. He didn’t want to be the third wheel so she pulled back, leaving her standing there with a beaming smile. He quickly made his way towards the doctor’s station, his heart still buoyed by the news of Alexia’s improved health. As he approached the doctor, he couldn’t help but wear an eager expression, anticipation written all over his face.
“Doctor Reynolds, Miles greeted warmly, extending his hand in gratitude. “Thank you for all that you’ve done for Alexia, my mate. I can’t express how relieved and grateful we are.”
Doctor Reynolds returned the gesture, a genuine smile adorning his face. “It’s my pleasure, Miles. Alexia’s progress is indeed reimarkable. She has shown great resilience and is responding well to the treatment.”
Miles’s enthusiasm shone through his words. “That’s wonderful to hear, Doctor. How soon do you think she’ll be able to leave the hospital? We can’t wait to have her back home.”

Doctor Reynolds paused, considering the question. “While her progress has been remarkable, we still need to monitor her closely. We want to ensure that her recovery continues smoothly and without any setbacks. It would be premature to determine an exact date for her discharge at this point.”
Miles nodded, understanding the cautious approach. “Of course, Doctor. I completely understand. We trust your expertise and judgment in making the best decision for her. We just want to see her healthy and happy again. She’s been through a lot these past few weeks, you know?”
Doctor Reynolds appreciated Miles’s understanding. “I appreciate your trust, Miles. Rest assured, we will continue to provide her with the best care possible. As her condition improves, we will reassess and keep you informed of her progress. Our goal is to ensure a safe and successful transition when she is ready to leave.”
Miles’s gratitude overflowed as he spoke. “Thank you, Doctor Reynolds. We’re eternally grateful for everything you and the medical team have done for Alexia. We have faith in your expertise, and we’ll support whatever decision you make for her well–being.”
Doctor Reynolds nodded, a reassuring smile on his l*ps. “It’s been a pleasure to care for Alexia. We’ll do everything we can to make her transition as smooth as possible.”
With their conversation concluded, Miles extended his hand once again, expressing his appreciation. “Thank you, We’ll continue to be here for her, every step of the way. Please keep us updated on her progress.”
Doctor.
Doctor Reynolds shook Miles’s hand firmly. “You have my word, Miles. I’ll keep you informed. In the meantime, encourage her to rest and focus on her recovery. With time and proper care, she will be back on her feet.”
Miles nodded, a mixture of gratitude and hope in his eyes. “We will, Doctor. Thank you again for everything”
With a final exchange of warm smiles, Miles turned and made his way back to Michael, eager to share the doctor’s great
newsl
After leaving the doctor’s office, Miles returned to Alexia’s ward, his eyes immediately met Michael’s, who stood there with a wide grin on his face. Without a moment’s hesitation, Michael pulled Miles into a brotherly enthusiastic hug, their embrace filled with joy and relief.
“I can’t believe it, Miles!” Michael exclaimed, his voice filled with overwhelming enthusiasm. “Alexia is awake. This is the best
news ever!”
“I know, Michael! It’s incredible! I can hardly believe it myself. We’ve been waiting for this moment for what felt like an eternity.“Miles returned the hug with equal fervor, sharing in Michael’s elation.
Michael’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he posed the question that was popping up restlessly in both of their minds.
“So, when can she come home with us? I can’t wait to have her back.”
Miles’s e
expression softened, a hint of disappointment tugging at his features. I asked the doctors, Michael. They still need to monitor her health and ensure her recovery continues smoothly. They want to make sure she’s stable before they give the green light for her discharge.”
Michael’s excitement dampened slightly, his shoulders sagging with a touch of disappointment. “I understand, Miles just… I miss her so much. I want her by my side, where she belongs.”
Miles placed a reassuring hand on Michael’s shoulder, his voice filled with comfort.
