Aria's POV
I've been awake for over an hour and gladly the severe headache I had when I woke had subsided. Nurses flung in and out of the room, doing anything but telling me where Lucian was.
Before I could finish that thought,the door flew open with such force that the handle banged against the wall. I flinched, the heart heart monitor spiking in protest, but then I saw him.
Lucian.
He looked transfixed,for a heartbeat he just stood there staring at me as if I might disappear if he blinked.
Then he moved towards me with his arms already open and I braced myself for the impact but before he could reach me,the nurse, when I had learnt her name to be Maria,stepped in front of him, palms up.
"Mr. Voss slow down. She's still fragile and might panic due to sudden movements. The hug you're offering now isn't advisable. Her ribs are still bruised and the incision site is fresh."
