"Wow..." After watching the video, Jenna's tears turned into laughter, "Haha! Really? Jenna... That's my name!" "Yes." Sherilyn gently patted her daughter's head, "Mr. Johnson made it especially for Jenna." "Yeah!" Jenna's smile curved her eyes, and she shyly burrowed into her mother's embrace, "Mr. Johnson likes Jenna!" "That's right." Sherilyn's voice trembled softly in agreement.

Hospital.

Gilbert was stable but showed no signs of waking.

"Caroline." Francis glanced at Caroline and whispered, "You just got to Sunhaven last night, and you must be tired. Go hand rest." "No." Caroline shook her head, refusing.

"I'll stay with you, right by Gilbert's side. We've faced everything together since we were kids." "Listen to me." Francis frowned, his tone growing firmer, "Grandma doesn't know yet. You go back first, so she doesn't get suspicious. Calm her down." Their grandmother was frail, and they hadn't told her yet.

Perhaps Gilbert would wake up soon? It wouldn't be too late to tell her then.

"From the moment I brought you into the Johnson family, you've been one of us, and always will be." "Yeah." Caroline smiled, showing her teeth, "I'll head hthen." "Alright." As the hospital room door closed behind her, Caroline's smile vanished.

Family, huh? But what she wanted wasn't just to be a nominal member of the family, but a bona fide Johnson! In the evening, after resting well, Caroline returned to the hospital.

Her heart raced....

Francis had been like this once...

Could he just sleep forever, never to wake? She murmured softly to Gilbert, "The doctors say you can hear us, right?"

"You must be tired from your journey back to Sunhaven, Switzerland. Met you sleep a little longer than me, but E just a bit, okay?" Songs t

"Wake up soon. Francis and I are waiting for you. Back then, even m when you were barely hanging on, you made it through. You can do it again this time."

Turning towards the couch, she bent down to pick up a blanket that had fallen to the floor Francis with it. Without meaning to, to the and covered her gaze fell upon a box on the coffee table. What's this? Caroline hesitated before picking it up, looking like a pencil case.

Opening it, she found indeed it was a pen, a pencil... a mechanical pencil?
