Goodbye, My Love novel Chapter 5

The first thing Sabrina saw when she next opened her eyes was the white ceiling. The smell of disinfectant invaded her senses.

A nurse entered the ward to change her dressing. She hurried forward happily when she saw that Sabrina was awake. "You're finally awake, Mrs. Faust! You have no idea how anxious Mr. Faust and Mr. Ansel were while you were unconscious.

"They stayed by your bedside to watch over you around the clock and got the city's best doctors to check on you. They even went to Fordham Church outside the city to pray for your safety. They climbed the 999 steps leading to the church, praying the whole time. They made the trending topics, you know!"

The nurse showed Sabrina her phone. In the video, Jordan and Ansel slowly made their way up the steps to the church. Many people believed there was something about Fordham Church that made one's wishes come true, so many visited the place to pray for miracles.

Jordan and Ansel were the first to pray every step of the way, though. That was why so many people had filmed them. In the video, they stopped on each step and chanted something before praying that Sabrina would wake up soon.

Instead of being moved, Sabrina only found the situation cruel and mocking. If Jordan and Ansel truly loved her so, why would they have abandoned her to protect Holly when the accident had happened?

The news of Sabrina regaining consciousness soon reached Jordan's and Ansel's ears. They hurried back to the city and charged into her ward, throwing their arms around her.

This wasn't her first time seeing Jordan lose control like this, but she'd definitely never seen Ansel like this. Still, she wasn't touched when she saw their red eyes and trembling hands. She only felt numb.

Wouldn't it have been great if she'd died in that accident? That way, they could be a happy family with Holly. Wasn't that the best for everyone? Why were they still putting on acts before her like this?

Jordan and Ansel cried and spoke for a long time, but Sabrina didn't react to anything. They released her, feeling taken aback when they saw her calm expression and the mockery deep in her eyes.

Seemingly remembering what had happened before the accident, Jordan hurriedly explained that he and Ansel had only tried to shield Holly because she and Sabrina were dressed too similarly. He claimed they'd mistaken her for Sabrina.

"I'm sorry, Rina. It really was a case of mistaken identity. I swear I won't do it again," Jordan said.

Ansel added, "Me too, Mom. I promise I won't mistake Holly for you anymore. Can you please forgive us?"
