Sherilyn furrowed her brows, struggling to speak, "Do you really believe that just talking to him would wake him up?" There was a moment of silence from Francis before he replied, "I'm not a doctor, but I've been a patient. I believe in the power of the will to live, in miracles."

Dressed and presentable, Francis finally reemerged. He looked at m Caroline feeling slightly uneasy. "Francis." doctor will be here forCaroline acted as if it didn't matter, "Con, have breakfast. The "Alright." Francis nodded, the atmosphere growing heavy again.
