"Hollis! You're really awake!" Sally exclaimed in disbelief.
This time, there was a clear light in his eyes. He slowly turned his head to look at Sally. "Mom."
His voice was hoarse from days of disuse.
"Hollis!" Sally threw her arms around her son, tears of joy streaming down her face.
No one could comprehend the depth of her relief. After a long moment, she gently released him.
"I'm thirsty," Hollis rasped.
Sally immediately turned to a nearby servant. "Quickly, bring some water!"
Zach stepped forward with a glass. "This is a specially prepared restorative water my master made. It will aid in the prince's recovery."
Sally took the glass from Zach herself and helped Hollis drink.
Hollis had been on an IV for so long, he hadn't tasted water in what felt like an eternity. He drank the entire glass in one go.
Sally gently patted his back to keep him from choking. "Are you still thirsty?"
Hollis shook his head. "No, but I'm a little hungry now."
Caitlin spoke up from the side. "Hollis has just woken up. He needs to wait three hours before having any light food."
Hollis hadn't noticed Caitlin standing there. At the sound of her voice, he turned, his eyes filled with confusion.
