-Dear, you will be staying in the same room with my son, so if something happens you will be able to alert nurses. You, yourself will be taking care of him in small matters, do not worry, there are nurses, caretakers and also his doctor will often be visiting, so there will not be too hard for you. But make sure that other than them, maids or housekeeper do not stay or be present in your room without you, and if you have to leave or go somewhere inform me, so I will be coming to be in the house. These are a kind security of requirement. I will explain the reasons later. You can change the staff, if you want. There will be a housekeeper to clean whole place and cook when it is needed. For a few days I will be staying with you. But I will not be staying here always, so let me give you this advice in this family especially in your situation do not trust easily.- She finished.

-I understand, mother.

- Now, go and settle your luggage, do you want or need anyone to help you? Your bags are in your room by the way.

- No, mother, I will do it myself.

- Do as you like and there are his medicine cabinets and emergency kits too. Just do not change their place, other than that you can do anything you want, and I want to tell this beforehand that sometimes he moves, just small movements but still, in case it happens, do not be startled, doctors say that it is normal and just reflexes.- She said, as we went towards the room.

- Ok, mother.

- It is all for today. Nurses will be teaching you how to take care of him,- she took a deep breath and said- and, dear, I am sorry that all the things are happening now. I wish when time comes you will remember these days as start good and kind days, not as bad and cold memories.- She looked a bit sad

- I wish the same thing, mother.

- Like I said there is not anything else for today, everything is taken care of for him too, so no one will disturb you, rest if you can, I will call you for dinner.

-Thank you.

- I went inside, and saw Ethan, my now husband. My bags were near to the door, there was not too many things, most of them were my books, clothes, and a little jewelries hat were gifts from my grandparents, I guess they gave me those things were a kind of compensation or something to relieve their conscience for their children's irresponsibility towards me. But thinking about it, in novel Amelia never had too many things to begin with. It was true that grandparents were equal towards Amelia and Abigail in everything, but to gain her parents favor, Novel Amelia gave most of the things she owned to her mother and her mother, my mother gave them to Abigail. But I did not give anything of mine to anyone, I did not even live in their mansion with them most of the time. So they never knew about things were gifted to me by their own parents. I guess, I even have more than Abigail right now, course when I finished high school and got accepted in the University, they gifted me with jewelries and each of them opened a bank account in my name, and told me to keep them and do not talk about it. Most of my jewelries are in bank protected and hidden.

He was connected to machines that allow others to know that if there is a problem, most likely if he dies. He just looks like sleeping, not like he is sick or anything at all. It will take time to get used to live with someone who is a complete stranger and now my husband.

I take a deep breath and say to Ethan:

- I do not know if you hear me or remember what I say, however, I want to introduce myself now, we have just got married, so I now am your wife. My name is Amelia, I am second daughter of The Mortons'. I am 19 years old, a second year student in The University, and we will be living together from now on. The Mortons and your family had made a deal, which was this marriage. I will be taking care of you with your caretakers and nurses, and now I will be settling in your room. Your mother said that in case of emergency I will be able to react fast this way and for security reasons It would be good that I inform her before I leave the house, so she would be here with you and I should not leave you with others - maids or housekeepers. She said that she will explain her reasons later, but it is not that hard to guess. Anyway I will start organizing my things now. And the reason I am explaining this all now is that it is proved that in some cases coma patients can hear and now what is happening around them. And even if you are not one of these cases, I have nothing to lose.

Looking at him, his pillow somehow looks uncomfortable for him. So I go to him, change the position a bit, well it looks better now.

I go for my bags and start arranging them while humming a song.

I finished my work in few hours. Mother said she will call for dinner, so I decided to take a shower, I took my clothes and went to the bathroom, in case I locked the door. It was good that bathroom was in the room and linked to the closet. There were already, some products for women and clean towels. I guess mother arranged them.
