The doctor’s scalp turned numb after the old master fixed his cold stare on him. “I… I was just telling the truth. President Eugene—” “Shut up!” the old master shouted loudly. He scolded furiously, “You doctors simply have subpar skills! Scram right now! I’ll hire the best doctors for him.” Old Master Newton would not believe that Eugene was in a vegetative state. The doctors looked at each other. They soon left the room. Old Master Newton then looked at Fern. A cold glint flashed across his gaze as he told her impolitely, “You should leave as well.” He had always disliked her. Fern stood there without moving. She met his gaze without an ounce of fear. “You said that you’ll hire the best doctors to treat him?” That would be great if that was the case. “It has nothing to do with you. You should leave him at once. You’re the disaster that brought harm to him!” The old master was enraged at the sight of her. “I warned him a long time ago that you’d be the death of him,
After the doctors that Old Master Newton hired were done taking a look at Eugene, they turned around and told the old master, “We need to carry out a comprehensive brain examination on Young Master Eugene to determine the current status of his injuries.” The old master said in a heavy tone, “Do it.” Fern did not say anything. She hoped that the doctors that the old master had hired were skilled and capable enough to make Eugene regain consciousness. Therefore, she would do her best to accommodate the doctors’ requests as well. As per the doctors’ request, they did a comprehensive brain examination on Eugene. The doctors had a discussion while they looked at the results. After a while, they reported the results to Old Master Newton. Fern’s entire body was tensed up. She was extremely nervous. She wanted to ask them about the results, but she resisted the urge to do so when she saw the old master. The doctor said, “From the inspection report, President Eugene suffered
He raised his staff and tried to hit him once again. Fern could no longer take it anymore. She grabbed his arm and shouted coldly, “Are you trying to beat him to death when he’s already in this condition?” She was beyond upset. The old master swept his cold gaze over her and tried to fling her hand off, but she held on tightly. “Since when did you have a say here? Let go of me and scram!” “If you don’t hit him, I’ll let go of you.” The old master huffed and said, “I’m educating my own grandson. What does that have to do with you? I told you that you would be a disaster to him a long time ago. A woman like you is a disaster. Look at what you’ve done to him!” “I’m not! Sydney was the one who did this to him. You were the one who forced him to marry her. If you hadn’t forced him, he wouldn’t have gotten involved in this toxic relationship with Sydney. He wouldn’t have gotten injured or be lying here in an unconscious state!” She knew how to blame him for what he had done as
Old Master Newton was extremely angered by Rue’s words. Even after waking up from having fainted and lying in bed for many days, he still could not calm down. He had no energy to kick Fern out anymore. However, he still asked Fiona to find other doctors. Nevertheless, all the doctors that they hired gave them the same answer. After so many days, Eugene had yet to wake up. They had mentally prepared themselves for the worst-case scenario. Sharon heard about how the old master had fainted due to overwhelming rage after arguing with Fern in the hospital. She went to the hospital to visit him after he regained consciousness. “Grandfather, this is the fragrance that I formulated some time ago. It can calm one’s nerves and emotions to stabilize one’s temper. I think that it’ll be useful for you, so I came here to give it to you.” After speaking, Sharon placed an aroma crystal on the bedside table. She then put two drops of the essential oil fragrance on it. The fragrance soo
The old master raised his hand and tried to push her away, but the fragrance invaded his senses at once. He suddenly felt refreshed. His mood calmed down a lot as well. Sharon noticed the change in his expression and asked, “How is it, Grandfather? Do you feel much more physically and mentally at ease now?” The old master glared at her and huffed. He did not refute her. Sharon smiled. This old man was simply stubborn. He looked exceptionally awkward right now. “I’ll ask Fiona to put two drops on the aroma crystal every day.” She handed the aroma crystal to Fiona. This time, the old master did not reject her offer like just now. “Grandfather, since you’ve calmed down, shouldn’t you stop trying to kick Fern and Rue out?” Sharon asked. The old master frowned and said, “When have I ever tried to kick both of them out?” He simply wanted Fern to leave his grandson. “Isn’t that so? I heard that you argued with them on that day. You even asked the bodyguards to kick them
“Mommy, will Daddy not wake up anymore?” Rue asked this question once again. Fern’s heart lurched violently as she choked up. “He’ll wake up, but he needs to sleep for a long time. He’ll wake up when he has enough sleep someday.” “When will he have enough sleep?” Rue was upset and anxious. “I… don’t know either.” Fern could not answer her question. She wanted Eugene to wake up as soon as possible. She wished that this was a dream and Eugene was not really in a vegetative state. After a while, she told Rue, “We can talk to him every day. You can ask him to wake up as well. If he hears you, he might wake up soon.” “Really? Then I’ll ask Daddy to wake up every day. I’ll ask him to wake up many times,” Rue said as she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “Yes, let’s work hard together.” Fern looked at the unconscious man on the bed. In reality, she was not as strong as she looked on the outside. However, she had to conceal all her vulnerabilities in front of
“I know about your feelings for me, but I can’t bring myself to accept you. Actually, I’ve tried accepting other men, but…” Her gaze landed on Eugene as she said, “I realized that I can’t fall for any other man.”The more Asher listened to what she said, the more his heart hurt.“Alright, you don’t need to say anything else. I understand.” He took a deep breath. He could not even compare to a man in a vegetative state. “You don’t have to apologize to me. It was my decision to like you. You don’t owe me anything. However, you’re still so young. You can’t waste all your remaining time on him.” Asher still felt slightly unwilling. Fern smiled faintly and said, “It isn’t a waste of time if I spend it with him.” Asher felt a choking sensation in his throat. He knew that he should not say anything else. He clenched his hands, which were by his sides, into fists. It was alright… This was just the beginning. After a year or two, he believed that her patience for Eugene would run
Sydney was filled with fear and regret. She knelt down in front of the old master and cried out loud. “It’s all my fault. I caused this to happen to Eugene. I regret it a lot now. Sob, sob, sob…” “Regret? How much is your regret worth? Can you make him regain consciousness?” the old master questioned coldly. “I...I…” Sydney could not bring herself to answer his questions. After crying for a while, she said, “If it were possible, I wish that the person who was lying on the bed inside was me instead.” “Hmph, you’re the one who did this to him. Of course, you’d have to pay the price for it.” The old master narrowed his eyes as a cold, murderous glint flashed across his gaze. Sydney felt a wave of coldness overcome her. She could not resist trembling in fear. She did not understand what the old master meant. She sobbed and said, “I’ll pay whatever price it takes for him to regain consciousness.” “You’d better never appear in front of him ever again.” The old master’s elderl
