After the routine check on Louis, Alfreda was allowed back into the room. This time she was with Matthew who lagged behind Kit's skirt. Louis's gaze went to him first and she beckoned him to come closer. He hesitated a bit but he let go of Kit's skirt and walked to the bed. She patted the space beside her and he climbed up. She surprised him by hugging him tightly.
"You must've been scared. I'm sorry"
"No, I'm sorry" he sobbed.
"It's my fault. I failed as your mother and made you feel lonely. I'm sorry"
"I shouldn't have risked your life like that mom, I'm the one at fault"
"You shouldn't have risked your life like that. No matter what happens to me, I won't die easily. I had to undergo a complete regeneration that's why I was in a coma for that long"
"Yes mommy"
Louis let him cry
