At first barely noticeable, then deeper, as if her lungs had found their way back to life on their own.
The machines had already been off for several minutes, yet her chest rose and fell in rhythm with her breathing. — This… is impossible… — whispered one of the doctors.
But it was reality. She was breathing on her own.
That meant only one thing: her body was fighting, it had not given up.
The man wept, hugging her and calling her name. — My love, can you hear me? You came back… I knew you were strong.
I believed!
The doctors immediately began resuscitation procedures, checked the readings. And although a long and difficult rehabilitation awaited her, the miracle had happened: the woman had returned to life.
A few weeks later, she opened her eyes for the first time. Her gaze was weak, but in it shone the most important thing — she was there.
The man held her hand and smiled through his tears:
— Welcome home, my love.
