Watching her father's hand move slowly startled Victoria. She immediately leaned her head closer to his face to confirm a miracle had occurred. Victoria had initially resigned herself to the idea that her father's life would not be saved upon hearing the doctor's devastating news. However, what was happening now was the complete opposite.
As her father slowly opened his eyes, Victoria let out a broken cry as she held his hand. "Dad, do you know me?"
The father nodded and smiled warmly. "My daughter…"
Victoria hugged her father tightly. "Dad, I missed you so much. I thought you'd forgotten about me."
"It's impossible for me to forget you, my little princess. In my eyes, you're still just a whiny little princess."
"By the way, are you in any pain? Would you like me to call a doctor?"
The father shook his head slowly. "No need. In fact, I'd like to talk to you a little longer. I'm sure you have a lot to tell me."
