Diego was silent and did not press Rena to leave. Diego knows that Rena must really love Dean, and can't bear to leave him alone. But worrying about Dean's condition definitely made the middle-aged woman willing to leave on him own.
As Diego thought, Rena turned to look at him.
"Okay I will go to his room. Please take care and take care of my grandson."
"Yes, there is no need to worry madam." Diego answered definitely to convince Rena. After that Rena kissed Dean's forehead then walked out. She had to see a doctor immediately to calm her anxiety regarding Dean's current health condition.
On the other hand, Elena keeps an eye on Dean's ward door. When the door opened, Elena immediately turned around to hide. Rena walked out and didn't turn to where Elena was hiding. All that was in the middle-aged woman's mind was Dean's condition and what the doctor wanted to talk to her about. So, Rena walked fast forward. Hearing the footsteps that were getting farther away Elena looked up and peeked at the corridor. Rena continues to walk further away until it is no longer seen by Elena. This made Elena quickly stand up and walk towards Dean's ward. The woman was standing at the door of the room. All the flavors rush into Elena's heart. Feelings of enthusiasm, excitement, worry, anxiety and longing to approach her, when she imagines that she will soon meet her biological son. The son she had conceived, for eight months. The son she cares , protects and love.
Elena took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Calm down and convince herself. After feeling her heart control a little, Elena walked into the room.
Elena's eyes quickly fogged up. She was still standing in front of the door but felt a tight squeeze on her chest when she saw a sleeping baby in the crib.
Diego who was standing beside the crib turned his head at her.
"Elena," Called Diego as if giving Elena a push to get closer. Elena walked over and stood beside the crib. Tears had fallen down her white cheeks. Elena's hand over her mouth, holding back the sound of crying that was about to come out. She finally saw Dean, the son who was her flesh and blood. Elena couldn't hold back the emotion.
It had been more than two months since she had seen Dean, even since Dean was born. Elena never saw him. Finally now Elena can see and meet him. It's a little sad the first time Elena saw Dean, the baby was in this state. While the handsome little man was sick and lying weak in the hospital.
Elena's tears continued to flow profusely when her eyes saw the IV needle that had pierced Dean's arm. My God, Elena can't bear to see her son sick and suffering like this. If possible, Elena was willing to endure all of Dean's pain this time. As long as she could see Dean was in good health, and smiled at her.
Diego who was standing next to Elena also stared closely at Dean. Dean's face was much more like Brian's. The hair, facial lines and nose are exactly the same as the man's. Only his eyes and lips are similar to Elena's.
"I will go out and stand guard at the door. I will immediately notify you if Brian or aunt Rena comes here." Elena did not answer Diego's words at all. But the man knew, that Elena must have listened to him. Without waiting any longer Diego left Elena alone.
Elena continued to stare at the face of her son who was still asleep. His innocent and handsome face was like a sinless little angel. Elena stretched out her hand. Trembling slightly for a moment before touching Dean's soft cheeks. Feelings of joy come to Elena, she can finally touch her son.
Elena's hand gently rubbed Dean's cheek. And very gently Elena kissed Dean's forehead. Not satisfied with that brief touch. Elena slowly and carefully picked up Dean and carried him in her arms. Elena's tears have never stopped but now a beautiful and brilliant smile is clearly painted on her face. How happy she is to be able to carry Dean right now.
Dean, who felt his sleep being disturbed, writhed in Elena's arms. And slowly his eyes opened and stared at Elena. The little baby seemed to recognize who Elena was. He didn't cry at all even though this was the first time, Elena carried him.
Maybe the bond between mother and child made Dean feel comfortable in Elena's arms. Elena's eyes grew brighter and her tears stopped when she saw Dean blink at her repeatedly. Dean's big, watery eyes after waking up made Elena want to shower him with thousands of kisses. Her son is very handsome and adorable. Make Elena can't stand it and kiss him on the cheek.
"Honey, you wake up." Elena started talking to Dean.
"Honey, I am your Mommy. Your real mother." Elena's eyes filled with tears again as she said those lines to Dean. Even though Dean didn't respond and probably didn't understand Elena's words. But that woman couldn't keep the emotion in her heart right now. Maybe this was the first and last time she met Dean.
"I'm sorry. Mommy can't be by your side. I'm sorry Mommy had to let you go with Daddy and Aunty Elise. I'm sorry Mommy can't give you a lot of love." Elena's tears returned as she spoke each word in a slow and hoarse voice.
"Mommy really wants to be with you. Raising and caring for you until you grow up. But Mommy can't break a promise and make your Aunty sad." Elena tightened her embrace against Dean's body. Not willing to remember having to say goodbye and never to see each other again.
"Honey, Mommy hopes you will get a body and become a great man like Daddy. Mommy will always pray for you." Elena's eyes turned to Dean's big round eyes, as if she wanted to convey her meaning and words through her eyes.
