Chapter 822 2 Years in a slumber


    The first thing Amy''s mother saw and felt as she opened her eyes was her daughter. Clinging onto her hand, tears continuously sobbing all over her. She wanted to say something, to ask what was happening, what was going on, but she let Amy cry out her tears and gently lifted her hand as she stroked the top of her head.


    "Mum, I never thought you were going to wake up. I thought you might have stayed like that forever. I''m sorry, I''m sorry for being a bad kid, I''m sorry for shouting at you all those times when we didn''t have enough food, or you weren''t able to buy me things for school.”


    "I hate the fact that I was such a spoiled brat. All I wanted was to tell you this, I wanted to say sorry to you, but I wasn''t sure if you heard me or not."


    Mrs. Dem continued to brush the hair of her daughter, and slowly she started to look around. There were kids, those that looked around Gary''s age, or a bit older, closer to being young adults who were standing there. None that she had recognized. It made her wonder, starting to think back as to what happened, and that''s when she remembered, the last thing, the shop where she worked, it had been attacked.


    She was hurt badly; she remembered everything before that, but she had no idea what was going on, or just how long she had been asleep, and then her eyes had set on a particular man.


    "Dean, is that you? What are you doing here? You said that you didn''t know when you would be back?"


    "Maya," Dean, Amy''s father, replied. "Things have gotten better on my end... and I only just found out what happened to you. I had to return because the most important thing of all is our family, you know how much it means to me."


    Amy was constantly moving her head to the left and right; she thought that her mother would be furious at their father. For leaving them when they were young, for putting so much pressure on their family and living the life they did, but instead, the two of them seemed to be understanding of each other. Not just that, when she looked at her mother''s face, she saw the softest smile appear on her face. It was clear she was genuinely happy.


    As the group were taking in the moment in relative silence, a loud explosion went off in the distance. Looking out the window, smoke could be seen rising from a particular building.


    "What was that?" Maya asked.


    And slowly, she was starting to notice things that seemed out of the ordinary. The room she was in, it was a grand hospital room, she had a large bed, and even the ground and furniture all around, it was things she would have never dreamed of.


    Maya''s heart sank. She dreaded to think what her kids had to go through while she was away. She was the only one that looked after them, so what did they do during this time? What did they do for school? How did they manage to feed themselves and get money, and what about the time lost between them!


    "I told you not to worry," Amy said, rubbing her hand.


    "Did your father look after you?" Maya asked.


    "No," Dean answered immediately. "I only just got here today as well. I will not take credit for something I didn''t do. The one that looked after Amy, and has been looking after everyone and this whole city, is our boy, Gary.”


    "He has been up to some crazy things," Dean said with a smile.


    Maya started to look around the room until she asked the question she had been thinking.


    "Where is Gary?"
