You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Mufron.

Mandela Gerneral Hospital.

This was the best rehabilitation hospital in Mufron, and the daily costs could be as high as tens of thousands of dollars.

Christian and Vicki had rushed to Mufron by private jet, and as soon as they got off the plane, they went straight to Mandela

Gerneral Hospital, where the Ballard family often had a private room.

"Mr. Ballard," Ophelia, the exclusive personal nurse hired by the Ballard family, who had met Christian many times, said

respectfully, " Princess is awake. You should go and see her."

"Good." Christian could hardly believe that it was true.

It had almost been ten years, and when he thought there was no hope at all, a miracle happened.

He pushed open the door of the ward and couldn't even stop his shaking hands.

The plain white ward was very large, and the light blue furniture was arranged in an elegant style. A woman was sitting on the

large white bed. She was wearing a loose gown printed with pink cherry blossoms. Her neatly combed long black hair had

exceeded her waist, and it was gently tied up with a hair band in the middle.

Her back looked thin and soft, and at the moment she was looking out of the floor-to-ceiling window. The infinitely beautiful

sunlight had shone on the bed, and the golden color was sprinkled on everything around her. She felt incomparable warmth in the

room.

"Athena," Christian couldn't help but call out.

He rushed to her in excitement.

He took hold of her hands and looked down. Her fingers were long and white, thin and bony.

Then he slowly raised his head and looked at her slightly pale face.

She was still as beautiful as before. Her black clear round eyes, her curved leafy eyebrows, and her red lips... Ten years had

passed, and she still looked like a delicate young girl.

"Brother, you're here." Athena gave a soft, sweet smile.

"Of course, | cas soon as | heard you were awake. God has been so kind to me! It's wonderful." Christian gripped her hands

excitedly and refused to let go.

Athena gently looked up and looked behind Christian. It was Vicki, who had cwith Christian and was standing in the doorway.

"And this one is?" Athena asked, puzzled.

"Oh." Christian glanced back at Vicki and introduced, "She is Vicki Lott. she's a friend of mine that you actually met as a child."

Vicki was a very special woman, and she did not look as wild when she was young. As she grew older, she had such a perfect blend

of wildness and femininity.

From a young age, Vicki had had sconnection with the Ballard family. When she was ten years old, she was arrested and taken

to the police station for injuring more than ten boys, and was eventually sent to a social welfare institution because no one claimed

her. Since then, she had been acquainted with Christian.

Athena shook her head, "I can't think of anything."

Vicki shrugged and said graciously, "That's okay, Princess. You knownow. My nis Vicki. Hello."

"Hello." A gentle smile spread across Athena's lips.

Christian then asked Ophelia, the personal nurse, "How is she doing? When can she be discharged from the hospital?"

At this point, Athena gently turned her head, her eyes fixed on the nurse.

Ophelia's expression got slightly different as she explained, "Mr. Ballard, it's still early for Princess to be discharged from the

hospital. She's been in bed for ten years and now she can't walk. She still needs a long tto do rehabilitation, including walking

training, muscle training, balance training, hearing training, etc."

"Okay, | got it." Christian nodded.

"Brother, why am | lying in the hospital?" Athena lifted her dark crystal eyes and asked Christian with a puzzled look.

Christian froze, "You don't remember?"

Athena shook her head with an innocent look on her face.

"What happened? | could not remember anything at all. It feels like | have had a long sleep, and | can't believe ten years have

passed." She looked around and asked again, "Didn't Luther cto see me?"

Christian's handsface stiffened and he didn't know how to answer her words.

Ultimately, Athena still missed Luther, but she had forgotten whose fault it was that she was lying in a hospital bed for ten years.

Athena noticed Christian's dismal expression. She bowed her head, "I'm sorry. | shouldn't have asked. Ten years have passed and

things have changed. It's okay, brother. | understand."

Christian reached out and gently stroked Athena's head, "Don't forget, you still have me."

After a pause, he continued, "Do not try to remember what had passed and do not force yourself. Nothing special. There was an

accident, and you were seriously injured and unconscious until now. Everything is in the past, and the most important thing now is

your health."

"Well, got it. Thank you." Athena looked up with a smile.

Vicki frowned slightly at this point. There seemed to be something wrong between Athena and private nurse Ophelia. Also, Athena

was giving her a strange feeling today.

It's been ten years and Athena finally woke up. This should have been a great blessing, but why did she always feel something was

wrong? Moreover, she felt panic and unease in her heart for no reason.

Vicki shook her head, and thought that she must have been overthinking it. Maybe she's just too sensitive.

Christian spent the entire day in the hospital room with Athena.

"Athena, | cto Mufron in a hurry this time, and | still have to rush back. Surgent matters must be taken care of. When | am

done with everything, | will cover and spend more twith you."

"Brother, it's okay. It will still take a long tfor my rehab. | will be busy every day, and you don't need to worry about me."

Athena answered understandingly.

"Okay, I'll go first." Christian stood up and gave Athena a relieved look.

Christian then left the ward and Vicki followed him at a fast pace.

She waited until Christian and Vicki left.

Athena's delicate face, which was originally overflowing with a gentle smile, instantly cooled down.

She stared at her personal nurse, Ophelia, with a fierce gaze.

"You've done well today. Remember, keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, | don’t know what might happen to your family." Athena

warned in a stern voice.

"Yes, Princess," said Ophelia, her head bowed in fear and her whole body shaking.

Athena sneered quietly. In fact, she woke up six months ago.

"Con, it's twe should go to see Iris."

Iris. It was exactly Luther's daughter.

It had been ten years, and her Luther even had a child. Of course she had to take good care of her, huh?
