Chapter 614: Eunice Is Alive

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

But is it better to be in a vegetative state than to be dead?

She is still breathing and her heart is still beating, but she can no longer speak a word or take a look.

Lily's eyes turn red when she thinks of the beautiful and lovely girl who appeared in front of her not long

ago.

Rex raises his hand to wipe the tears from her eyes. "I was reluctant to tell you because I knew you

would cry."

"It's so hard to accept...." With herself being like this, she can't imagine how Ryan feels.

"He fainted. The doctor has given him a tranquilizer." Rex sees what she is thinking and says calmly.

Lily feels even bitterer. The fact that Eunice was hurt because of Adair makes her extremely guilty.

"They were here for Ryan. They kidnapped Adair to threaten him. Don't be too hard on yourself." Rex

also feels bitter, but he doesn't want Lily to condemn herself. "Lily, for people like me and Ryan, it's not

easy to spend the rest of our lives with a loved one. Sometimes when you want to love someone, you

find the person no longer around. I've managed to go through everything with great difficulty. For me,

the most important thing is to cherish you."

Seeing Eunice between life and death, Rex knows how Ryan feels and he wants to cherish Lily even

more. After all, there is nothing more fortunate than having his lover by his side.

Looking into Rex's loving yet vulnerable dark eyes, Lily smiles with tears in her eyes. "I understand."

...

Eunice is transferred to another hospital on the fifth day. Her status gradually stabilizes. Karl suggests

that Karl's Hospital participate in her treatment. After all, Karl's Hospital is considered the most

advanced hospital in the country.

Although Ryan has grudges against Rex and Karl, with Eunice's life at stake, he agrees without

hesitation.

It's not the time to get personal.

Karl is relieved when Eunice is successfully transferred to Karl's Hospital. Fearing that something

unexpected may happen, he sends over the best experts and gathers the most outstanding brain

specialists and neurologists from home and abroad.

Eunice's situation is not optimistic. Judging from her examination results, anyone who has medical

knowledge will agree that it's extremely difficult for her to be completely cured and awake. It's not only

a technical difficulty but more of a challenge that exceeds the limits of the human body.

With such a heavy impact on her head, almost all of her brain tissue has entered a dormant state.

Waking her up is almost a mission impossible.

The experts work in groups of three and come up with a lot of plans, but none of the plans has a high

success rate, so they are all abandoned. Eunice still has to rely on machinery to maintain her vital

signs.

Rex learns the progress from Karl. To his surprise, Ryan hasn't asked a single question about Eunice's

situation for so many days.

But on second thought, Rex understands that after seeing so many experts working hard with no result,

a man as smart as Ryan must have realized that Eunice's situation is not promising. If he doesn't ask,

he still has hope.

Eunice hasn't been to school for a week and hasn't returned home either, and Ryan can't hide it from

Lorraine and Thomas anymore, so he asks the police to inform them.

Lorraine and Thomas arrive at the hospital the same afternoon when they hear the news. They almost

rush into the ward. They weep bitterly as they look at Eunice's body on the bed. Eunice is wearing an

oxygen mask and is connected with various kinds of equipment by countless pipes.

"Eunice, what has happened to you? How did you end up like this in the blink of an eye?" Lorraine's

face is pale. Countless tears roll out of her aged eyes. She bends her head down by the side of the bed

and cries until she can't sit still. She collapses to the ground.

She remembers the call from the police just now. The person on the phone says her daughter is taken

hostage when trying to rescue someone in a kidnapping case. She is injured and in hospital, alive, but

in a temporary vegetative state.

On her way here, Lorraine feels uneasy. She keeps muttering, "This is not true. The police or the

hospital must have made a mistake. My daughter is so smart and sweet. How could she be

kidnapped?"

Lorraine holds such a wishful thinking until she enters the door. When her gaze falls onto the pale,

lifeless girl lying on the bed, her heart collapses in an instant. She breaks down entirely.

Her most sensible and proud daughter has become lifeless in the blink of an eye. How her heart aches!

Lorraine is heartbroken. Her cries are like a dagger piercing into the heart. "She has managed to get

through it and return to school. Jesus, how could you punish her like this? What has she done to get

this retribution? Please, punish me instead. Please...."

The wailing and grief of a mother are miserable enough to make anyone who hears it weep.

Compared to Lorraine's breaking down, Thomas seems calm. He stands still at the end of the bed from

the moment he enters the room. He has very short hair. His skin is tanned due to military training. His

face looks straight. But with a closer look, one will discover his emotions.

Thomas’ fists are tightly clenched by his sides. His arms tremble as he exerts his strength. His lips are

purple due to strong emotions. His nose wiggles. His eyes, which are even more frightening, are wide

open to the extreme, with his pupils contracted and the whites of his eyes filled with blood vessels.

His body seems to be crushed by something as if he is about to explode.

They focus all their attention on the person on the hospital bed. Ryan stands aside without being

noticed.

Thomas can't believe that after such a short time, his sister, who was so vigorous and diligent, is now

lying in bed, unable to speak or move or even look at them.

He hasn't earned enough money to give her a happy life. How can she...?

Thomas can't believe it, and he doesn't want to believe it.

"Eunice will be fine," Thomas suddenly speaks; his voice is as hoarse as that of those who have

hobbled in the desert for five days.

Lorraine, however, seems as if she hasn't heard anything. She collapses on the edge of the bed in a

daze, crying until she couldn't help but twitch.

Lorraine's miserable cries fall into Thomas’ ears. Thomas, not caring that she is his mother, roars,

"Mom, stop crying! Eunice isn't dead yet! She will be fine!"

After letting out the roar, however, he is on the edge of crying too.

He holds it with all his effort, refusing to cry out loud.

Eunice is not dead. She's still alive. So he won't cry.
