StarNovelChapter 851 Everett was firm. "Let her go." Alex's face was a mix of emotions, hard to pin down.
Unable to hold it in any longer, she blurted out, "Mr. Everett, you're not... still feeling sorry for Joy, are you? Acting like this... how can you live with yourself, considering your wife..." The man's dark eyes flicked over to Alex, silencing her.
She bit her lip, choosing to keep quiet.
Everett didn't bother to explain. Instead, he simply instructed, "Get on with it. And bring Flynn here." With reluctance, Alex nodded and shuffled out.
Minutes later, Flynn appeared, taking a seat across from Everett on the sofa.
Gone was the exuberant confidence of previous days; he now seemed a bit deflated.
The thought of not being able to help Selena weighed heavily on him. As a perfectionist, the idea of a blemish on his medical career was hard to swallow.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEverett's intense gaze didn't waver as he spoke calmly, "I've got an idea. Not sure it'll work, though." Flynn raised an eyebrow, skeptical.
Even he, with all his expertise, was struggling, and Everett, without a background in psychology, had a solution? Flynn sipped his coffee, skeptical. "Go ahead, I'm listening." Everett leaned in, carefully laying out his plan. By the end, Flynn was taken aback.
He swallowed his coffee with difficulty, contemplating. "Well... it's worth a shot, though... Mr. Everett, you really have quite the ruthless streak." No wonder he was a force to be reckoned with in the business world.
Even without formal training in psychology, he had a deep understanding of human nature.
A truly formidable man.
The night deepened.
The clock on the wall ticked toward eleven-thirty.
Only thirty minutes left until the three-day deadline.
If Selena didn't wake up, she might remain in this comatose state indefinitely.
Eventually succumbing to her depression.
Everett and Flynn entered the bedroom, where Ava was sitting with the two kids, keeping vigil over Selena. Little Matthew pressed his cheek against his mother's, trying hard not to cry, while Haley's eyes were already filled with tears.
She kept pleading, "Mom, wake up, don't leave us..." The sound was enough to break anyone's heart.
As Everett walked in, Matthew rushed over, clutching his leg and sobbing, "Dad, what if Mom never wakes up?" No matter how mature he tried to be, he was still just a five-year-old, scared and anxious.
Everett knelt down, lifting his son into his arms and soothing him a kiss on the cheek. "Don't your mom will wake up."ore with Even if... she would resent him all over again...
But he needed her to live! Just like she needed him to survive before, no matter the consequences! Now, he truly understood her decision from over a year ago.
Everett asked Ava to take the children out, and Flynn closed the door behind them.

Everett moved to the bed and sat down. Although Selena's eyes were open, she was lost to the world. He gently supported her shoulders, easing her into a sitting position against the headboard.
His dark eyes locked onto hers as he pulled out his phone, playing a recording of Joy's interview with the press.
With those voices filling the room, he spoke each word with precision.
"Selena, Joy has been released without charges. I took care of the negative press. "I've thought it over, and someone in your state isn't fit to be Mrs. Bennett.
The role of the lady of thos family isn't for a living ghost, so..
letting you go. I'm planning to
propose to the Kesler family again and marry Joy, making her Mrs.m Bennett, Matthew and Haley's mother." "And you, you'll stay here, forever a living ghost."
