Reversal

After a few minutes seemingly infinite for Christian, but very short for Eva, the mother slowly pulled away from Christian, gently touching his face, still not believing what she sees at this moment "I-I'm not dreaming r-right?"

Smiling slightly, Christian rubs his face with Eva's, wiping away his mother's tears with his face "You're not dreaming mom, I'm fine now"

Feeling the warmth and softness on her face, Eva confirmed that everything that is happening is not just another dream she had in these months, causing more tears to fall her eyes, while relief and happiness flood her heart.

Taking Christian's face in her hands, Eva looked deep into his eyes, finding the gems she had been longing to see during these hellish months, noticing instantly that the color of his eyes changed slightly again, darkening a little more the light violet of his eyes.

But not caring about these small details, Eva smiled warmly "I missed you so much my prince..... welcome back"

'Welcome back? Why do you talk as if I had gone somewhere a long time ago? I just slept for a day and that's it... So dramatic" Although Eva's words confused Christian, he didn't think twice and just smiled and spoke "Mom, I'm hungry, give me food"

Looking at the plate of food next to him, Christian opened his mouth, looking expectantly at Eva, causing a soft smile to spread across the woman's face.

Taking the tray with food, Eva slowly brings a forkful of broccoli into Christian's mouth, something the boy happily accepted.

'Ugh' Grimacing a little, Christian looks at the rest of the salad with disgust 'These shitty hospitals charge a fortune, but they can't even give me a decent salad, the broccoli looks like it's made of plastic'

"Mom, get me out of this place" Finishing his meal, Christian turned his gaze to the smiling Eva, and pleaded in aggravation "I'll die if I keep eating this garbage".

The mashed potatoes tasted horrible, had no salt, and were very watery. The meat was somewhat similar, it was very overcooked and apparently salt is something this hospital hates.

"Relax, I'm not leaving this hospital today without my child" Eva smiled, setting the plate aside.

Moving to the edge of the gurney, Christian looked at Eva and smiled "Mom, lay down with me"

With warm eyes and a soft smile, Eva got up and settled next to her son, filling her lungs with the pleasant scent of the child.

Although they were somewhat squeezed by the small size of the bed, Eva settled on her side, while doing her best not to touch Christian's arms.

"No, not like that" Shaking his head quickly, Christian sat up in the bed and crawled awkwardly onto his mother's chest, managing to climb onto her stomach.

Looking affectionately at the woman, Christian nestled his head slowly between her breasts, while his gaze was fixed on Eva's face "This is nicer"

Wrapping her arms around his back, Eva whispered "Yes... this is nicer"

And so the minutes passed, mutually sharing each other's warmth, until little by little mother and son were closing their eyes, leaving only their soft, relaxed breathing.

...

"Mrs. Eva please understand, it is not safe for you to take Christian today!"

In the doctor's office, was Eva, sitting with her arms crossed, while annoyance reflected on her face.

"I don't care, my boy wants to leave, period, I will not leave him one more day in this place"

"Mrs. Eva, that is not safe for the child, although he woke up from his coma, we don't know if he will relapse again or if he has any difficulty, we have to study his case and know if he is well!"

Frowning, Eva leaned slightly towards the desk and spoke seriously "How can he relapse again? My son woke up, he's healthy, I can easily see that!"

"You have to understand that even though Christian woke up, we don't know if he will relapse back into a coma at some point, medicine has almost no records of people waking up from brain death, we don't know if he has any adverse effects or any ailments that may hinder his life!" Quickly explained the doctor, showing signs of desperation.

"..." Frowning, even more, Eva gently tapped her arm with her fingertips, but then shook her head and spoke "It doesn't matter, if my child falls back into a coma, I prefer it to be while with his family, I will follow his wish and take him today!"

"But your son could be in danger!" the doctor shouted, as she stood up from her chair.

Staring with narrowed eyes at the doctor, Eva spoke "And that will be a risk I'll take, now do the paperwork and that's it, I won't argue about it anymore"

"But-"

"No buts doctor, he's my son and I decide what to do with him, not you" Without bothering to speak further, Eva got up from her seat and turned towards the door "Do the paperwork to discharge him quickly, I'll take Christian out for some air in the meantime"

Finishing her words, Eva didn't bother to listen to the woman's words anymore, and left, leaving the doctor firming her hair in frustration.

...

"Where are we going, mom?" Sitting in a wheelchair, Christian turned his gaze towards Eva, who was slowly leading him towards the hospital exit.

"This hospital has a small park in the back, let's get some air."

"Mn" Nodding, Christian settled into the chair and let his mother carry him, looking curiously at everything around him.

They passed quickly through the corridors of the hospital, arriving after a few minutes at what appeared to be a small park with trees and greenery.

Patients and people who might be relatives could be seen passing through the area, there were seats on different sides, but apparently, patients choose to lie on the grass, as almost all of them were resting there.

"Isn't it a nice day?" asked Eva, as she looked at the curious expression on Christian.

"Yes, it's not hot but it's not cold either, it's nice."

Strolling leisurely through the park, Christian watches all the people around him in a daze.

Their smiles, their vacant expressions, their grim expressions, Christian had never seen so much amount of emotions in the same place.

But in between people-watching, his mother passed by one woman in particular, who, to his amazement, was watching him with uncovered lust.

The most curious thing was that the woman was a nun. She was about 45 years old, several gray hairs could be seen in her dark hair.

But when their gazes met, the woman's eyes opened wide, as horror began to show on her face.

"Did you miss something!?" Eva exclaimed in annoyance, instantly noticing the woman's gaze.

"LUCIFER!!!" Shouted the woman, with an expression of terror, as she quickly pulled out across from her chest, pointing it menacingly at Christian "IN THE NAME OF THE GODDESS, LEAVE THIS EARTHLY WORLD AND RETURN TO YOUR PLACE IN THE DARKNESS!!!"

"...???" Tilting his head in bewilderment, Christian turned his gaze to his side, looking for where this is such a 'Lucifer'.

"LORD OF EVIL, IN THE NAME OF THE GODDESS AND HER HOLY DAUGHTER, I COMMAND YOU TO RETURN TO HELL!!!" Shouting loudly, the woman pulled a small bottle from her pocket, quickly opening it, then throwing water in Christian's face, causing him to open his eyes wide.

'She was talking to me!' Opening his mouth wide, Christian looked at the woman in shock.

"BITCH, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!!!?" With a loud scream of fury, Eve rushed at the woman, holding her tightly by the neck.

"I CAST YOU OUT BY THE LIVING AND ALL-POWERFUL GODDESS, BY THE TRUE AND HOLIEST GODDESS. GO FROM THIS WORLD, ENEMY OF FAITH, ADVERSARY OF THE HUMAN RACE, YOU WHO BRING FORTH DEATH, FATHER OF LIES, ROOT OF EVIL, SEDUCER OF WOMEN, CAUSE OF PAIN, GO FROM THIS WORLD!!!" But the woman took no notice of Eve, she simply screamed in fear and madness towards Christian.

"FUCKING BITCH!!!" Not taking any more of her bullshit, Eva grabbed her by the arm and tackled her to the ground, as people from the surrounding area began to close in because of the screams.

"I CAST YOU OUT, ACCURSED SERPENT, IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY DAUGHTER JESUS CHRIST, LEAVE THIS PLACE AND LEAVE THE GODDESS' CREATURES ALONE!!!"

*PA!*

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" Eve shouted, slapping the woman's cheek hard.

"THOU ART COMMANDED BY THE GODDESS HERSELF FROM HIGH IN HEAVEN, RETURN TO THE DEPTHS OF THE EARTH!!!"

*PA!*

Grabbing the nun's face, Eva slammed it to the ground, while with her other hand she quickly pulled out her cell phone.

"What's going on?" asked a curious woman, looking with bewilderment at the scene in front of her.

"I don't know, I just came because of the screams" Shrugging her shoulders, another woman next to her watched all this with arched eyebrows.

"I saw the whole thing" A man spoke quickly, looking at the whole scene with a frown "That woman was walking with the kid, I just kept looking at the kid, as I found him very cute, but that crazy woman started screaming at him and throwing water at him, she was talking about lucifer or similar shit"

"*Sigh* Poor kid..." Sighed a woman with exaggeration, then turned to the man and smiled "Hey handsome, would you like to go get some beer and talk about what you saw?"

"No thanks, I don't like beer" With a disgusted look on his face, the man turned away from the woman.

"I don't like it either! If you want we can go for coffee!" the woman quickly replied, as she walked over to the woman.

Leaving the desperate woman aside, Eva had already called the police, as the on-site guards arrived at her side.

"Are you saying she attacked the child?" frowning, the guard pointed at the nun on the ground, who was still babbling with a sock in her mouth.

Retaining the woman on the ground, Eva asked "You know her?"

"Yes, she comes to bless sick people..."

"She should bless herself, to see if her mental illness is cured" Snorting with annoyance, Eva turned her gaze to Christian with concern "My boy... are you okay? Did this woman scare you?"

Shaking his head, Christian replied "No, I'm fine mom."

"Are you sure?"

With a reassuring smile, Christian spoke "Relax mom, I'm a big boy now."

"*Sigh* Okay" Lowering her gaze, Eva frowned again, then looked at the guards and spoke "What are you waiting for? Hold her, the police are on their way, I'll file a complaint against this crazy woman"

"But ma'am... she's a nun..." Replied the guard with insecurity.

"And what does she have? This damn crazy woman attacked my son, what would have happened if I wasn't there?"

"*Sigh* Okay" Nodding, the guard affirmed the woman, while the other guards helped her, but in the process, the sock popped out of her mouth, causing the woman's screams to continue.

"LUCIFER, DEPART FROM THIS PURE WORLD, KEEP YOUR DARK HANDS OFF THIS HIND OF FAITH!!!"

Frowning, the female guard grasped her hands tightly, as she turned her head towards her coworkers "Let's take her inside, get her away from the child."

Lifting the nun up, the guards dragged her towards the hospital, as the nun writhed violently "LET ME GO, I HAVE TO EXPEL THE EVIL, THAT CHILD IS THE DEVIL, HE IS THE DEVIL!!!"

"Shut up lady!" shouted the guard in annoyance, as they arrested her even faster.

"THE HANDS, THE DARKNESS, LUCIFER WILL TORMENT ALL THE FAITH OF THE PURE ONES!!!"

"HIS IMPURE HANDS WILL COVER EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING!!!"

The woman's screams could be heard all over the place, as she slowly disappeared.

But those last words left Christian with a frown.

"Hands?" Christian whispered, looking with narrowed eyes at the woman being dragged away.
