"Europa."'Where in Europa, though?' Bianca thought, 'I don't want to be suspicious, but Anthony didn't mention that he's going on a business trip. Anne is out of the country as well. Will they run into each other? If they do, would it be by accident or planned?'"Don't worry, Ms. Faye, Mr. Faye will be fine," Oliver consoled her."Of course, I know that my Dad will be fine. I just don't know where Anne is. If she knows that Dad was in an accident, she would probably hurry back. Why don't you try contacting her?" Bianca asked. Since it was a matter of life or death, if Oliver knew Anne's phone number, he would definitely agree to call her."I'm sorry, Ms. Faye. I don't know her number.""Does Anthony know?""I do not interfere with Mr. Marwood's private matters."Dorothy overheard their conversation and came over. "Oliver, you do know that my Bianca is going to be Anthony's wife soon, right? If you lie to her, it's not going to do you any good. Don't worry, even if you say anyth
'So what if you found out about the truth? We have been married for over twenty years and that's how long our daughter has been calling you her Dad. You can't be so merciless to us simply because she isn't yours by blood. I still resent you for it,' Dorothy thought.When Anne arrived in Luton, it was early in the morning.After landing, they were about to get into the car when Anne said to Anthony, "You should go first. My Mom and I will go later."She knew for sure that Dorothy and Bianca were in the hospital, and if she appeared with Anthony, there was bound to be conflicts; with her father still in the operation room, she would very much like to avoid causing a scene.Anthony shot her a look, before getting into his car and leaving.Not only did Anthony have his own private jet, he had an airport to himself as well, with a few cars in the garage.The bodyguard stood by the side and waited for Anne and Dorothy to get into one of the cars.The two got in and Sarah asked, "where
Seeing that Anthony was not bothered, Bianca suppressed her temper and stared daggers at Anne.Just then, the light above the operation room door was turned off and Anne jolted as she watched the door open and Kathryn stepped outside.Dorothy and Bianca hurried over and asked, "How did it go? Did the surgery go smoothly?""The surgery went well, but his brain has been severely damaged and he is currently in a vegetative state," Kathryn said.Both Dorothy and Bianca instantly fell into silence.Sarah lost her strength and collapsed onto the ground, while Anne stood dazedly as she stared at the door.She walked up to Kathryn and asked, "Doctor Brown, will my dad wake up in time? Vegetables wake up at some point, too, right?"Kathryn turned to look at Anthony, his dark expression and sharp, dark eyes pressuring her. "I'm sorry, but the brain injury he suffered was too severe. Waking up from that...is almost impossible.""No...no way. Doctor Brown, not even the slightest chance?" A
Anne tensed when she saw the bodyguard standing in front of the door and summoned the courage to approach.The bodyguard stopped them as soon as they got closer."There's no one in there now. Can you just let us in? We will come out right away," Anne pleaded."No." The bodyguard would not budge.Sarah started to panic, not expecting to be stopped by the bodyguard even after Dorothy and Bianca had left. "Anne, what should we do?""Don't panic." Anne took out her phone and walked to the side to call Anthony, who answered after three seconds. "Can you let me and my mom into the room to see my Dad? Just for a little while, okay? I want to see how he's doing..."When Anthony did not respond, she panicked and tears welled up in her eyes. "Please. Let me see my Dad!""Anne..." Sarah tugged at Anne's arm.Anne turned around and saw Anthony walking out of the doctor's office with his phone in his hand without hanging up.She hurried over and begged, "Let us in, okay? We will come out r
Anne looked at Anthony, doe-eyed and paused, before walking over. "Anthony, my Dad has treated you with kindness, right? He took care of you before, right? Can you...can you find a way to get the best experts here to help him? That way, he might wake up! You can ask me to do anything you want! As long as...as long as he wakes up!""So you are willing to stay by my side now, then?" He did not waver and simply narrowed his eyes coldly."... Yes..." She lowered her gaze.Anthony could tell her reluctance, but she never truly had any leverage to bargain with him to begin with. Without another word, he turned to leave."Anthony!" Anne hurried after him and grabbed him by the arm in tears. "Please, don't be so cruel. If something happens to my dad, I will be a fatherless child. He means a lot to me. He...he is also the triplets' grandfather. They like him a lot. Just do it for the kids, if not for me."He scowled and stared at her with his deep, brooding eyes."I shouldn't have said th
"Mom, Anthony has hired the top experts all around the world. They will be here tomorrow. Let's go home for now and come back tomorrow.""You should go. I'll stay here. Someone has to stay with him." Sarah did not want to leave Nigel."There are nurses here with Dad who can take better care of him. There are even bodyguards outside the door. He's going to be fine. Besides, if we run into Dorothy and Bianca again, we are all just going to end up arguing. That's not going to help with Dad's recovery," Anne said.Sarah hesitated and Anne directly dragged her out of the room.On their way back, both Sarah and Anne sat in the car quietly. Neither had thought that something like that would happen during their trip. Not only was Anne worried about Nigel, she was concerned for Sarah as well as she had never seen her mother so devastated before.After arriving home, Sarah returned to her room and Anne did the same. Instead of showering, she sat on the edge of bed dazedly.She could not un
If Sarah was at the hospital as well, Dorothy and Bianca would definitely try to provoke, or even hurt her.Anne was concerned. She did not want her mother to get hurt when her father was still unconscious.The door to the meeting room flew open and there were men and women sitting by the long meeting table, to whom Anne assumed were the experts Anthony had hired.Anthony sat at the further end with Kathryn on one side and next to him were Dorothy and Bianca.Both Dorothy and Bianca stared at Anne coldly and she simply proceeded to take her seat next to Kathryn.Anthony glanced at his watch and Kathryn took it as a hint to start the meeting. "Everyone should have a copy of the medical report. You all know that he is currently in a coma. Anyone here who manages to improve his condition even by the slightest will be rewarded handsomely."Everyone knew what she meant by it, that payment was not an issue if they had the talent worthy of it.One of the men looked at the report and sa
"Relax, there won't be an issue in applying that to a human being. The worst outcome would simply be no outcome at all," the expert said."It's settled, then. Kathryn, report the daily progress to me," Anthony commanded."Yes, Mr. Marwood."Anne was relieved and overjoyed that there was hope, however slim.Anthony got up to leave, and Dorothy and Bianca followed.Anne walked behind them and took out her phone to call Sarah.Sarah answered right away and said, "Anne, how was it? Can they cure him?""Only three of the experts stayed and said that they can try, but there's no guarantee," Anne said truthfully.Feeling as though a rock had been moved from her chest, Sarah said, "The doctors would never make promises even for simple surgeries. That means that your dad is definitely waking up!"Anne did not dare to agree considering how severe her father's brain injury was. However, she could not deny her mother hope as well and said, "Let's wait for him to wake up. However long it t
