Chapter 456 Give Him Hope
Everyone’s heart was in their mouth. Finally, Elisa asked, “Doctor, how is his situation?”
“His brain was seriously damaged in the accident. His life is not at risk anymore, but when he can regain
consciousness all depends on his willpower. If he manages to fight against fate, he could awaken and be
normal again. However, if he doesn’t regain consciousness in one month’s time, then…”
The doctor shook his head in resignation. Elisa’s expression changed as she perceived the doctor’s
meaning. Rachel was still perplexed, so she asked in a panic, “What will happen if he doesn’t regain
consciousness in one month?”
The doctor mumbled in exasperation, “He might be in a vegetative state.” With that, he walked away.
Soon, another doctor came forth and informed Elisa and the others about the next procedure.
Sheena cried her eyes out. Glaring at Elisa resentfully, she scowled, “Carle is such an outstanding and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdecent man. He loves you so much; he doesn’t even care if you’re a divorced woman. Why wouldn’t you
consider him? Why did you break his heart?!”
Elisa closed her eyes. “I’m sorry…”
“I’m not the one to whom you should say sorry!” Sheena roared uncontrollably. The nurse quickly
stopped her. “Miss, the patient is still inside the room. He needs rest now, so please don’t disturb him.”
At that moment, Carle was transferred to the intensive care unit. No visitor was allowed for that day, so
everyone stayed outside the ward. Elisa took a deep breath and mumbled, “We should inform Mr. Semoa
about this matter.”
“Yes. Given the current situation, we can’t keep it from his family anymore.” Sheena kept her cool and
uttered.
Rachel inhaled softly and hummed, “I’ll call Mr. Semoa.” With that, she took out her phone and went to
the corner to make the call.
Sheena wiped away her tears and uttered, “Don’t mention the details.” In other words, she didn’t want
Rachel to tell Edward that it was Elisa who provoked Carle. Rachel nodded in consent.
Elisa closed her eyes – she had to explain the incident to Edward sooner or later, but not today. This was
not a glorious matter, so she didn’t want to talk about it in front of the crowd.
None of Carle’s friends left. All of them stayed outside the ward and were guilt-stricken. “It’s my fault. I
shouldn’t have asked him out to drink.”
“I’m in the wrong too. I shouldn’t have poured him more wine. We…”
Rachel ended the call and said, “No one wanted this accident to happen. We can only pray for Carle to
regain consciousness as soon as possible. The doctor said that we can go to visit him twenty-four hours
later. Let’s try our best to wake him then.”
Sheena held Elisa’s hand as she finally regained her composure. “I’m sorry, Elisa. I lost control of my
emotions and yelled at you just now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElisa shook her head and uttered with mixed emotions. “It’s my fault to begin with. I crossed the line…”
After closing her eyes for a second, Sheena restored a calm expression and said to Elisa in a serious
manner. “I’m not asking you to say yes to him. I just hope that you can think of a way to awaken him.
Give him hope and make him think life is still meaningful. Please don’t let him be…”
In a vegetative state. Sheena couldn’t bring herself to spit the last few words. With her body trembling,
she turned away the next second and covered her mouth as she tried to hold her emotions in.
Elisa’s eyes were red-rimmed. Her lips were trembling too with her head lowered. Rachel was ashen-
faced. The four of them were friends since they were young and were very close to each other, but no
one expected this to happen.
On the other hand, Edward rushed to the hospital upon receiving the news. Rachel toned down the
severity of Carle’s injuries in the call. So, Edward was staggered upon arriving at the hospital and
realizing that his son was admitted to the intensive care unit.
He stared at the crowd and asked, “What happened?”
