With trembling legs, Ariana moved forward, dropping to her knees beside Sonia's bed, weeping and quivering as she told her, "Sonia, Sonia, awaken, don't do this to me, please.”

“Boohoo! Godmother." Melon's tears flowed in unison.

The mother and son shed tears, making the hospital room steep in sorrow. At last, Sonia groggily woke up and said, hoarse, “Stop it already! Your incessant weeping could wash my mind away!"

Seeing her awake, Ariana sniffled and wiped her tears, gripping Sonia's hand with joy as she asked her, “How are you feeling? Any discomfort?"

“I'm fine, Just gulped down some seawater by mistake." Sonia coughed, sitting up.
