Give Him Hope
Everyone‘s heart was leaping. Gloria was the first to ask, “Doctor, is he okay?”
“He hit his head in the car accident. He‘s seriously injured. Now he‘s out of danger, but I have no idea
when he‘ll wake up. It depends on his own will. If he can make it, he‘ll gradually return to normal life.
But… if he doesn‘t wake up in a month, then…”
The doctor sighed and shook his head. The color drained a little from Gloria‘s face when she realized
what the doctor meant by the rest of his words..
Nydia didn‘t understand, so she asked in a panic, “What happens if he doesn‘t wake up in a month?”
The doctor sighed and said slowly, “He‘ll go into a vegetative state…”
With that, he left quickly.
Soon, another doctor came out and instructed them to take good care of Bryson.
Jennifer cried even harder and glared at Gloria. “Bryson is a good man. He‘s nice and loves you so
much. He doesn‘t even mind that you‘re a divorced woman. Why did you not give him a chance? Why
did you break his heart?”
Gloria closed her eyes. “I‘m sorry…”
“I‘m not the one you should say sorry to!” Jennifer lost her temper and roared.
A nurse spoke, “Ma‘am, the patient needs to rest. Please keep quiet.”
Bryson was wheeled into the intensive care unit.
No one was allowed to visit him today.
Everyone was waiting outside. Gloria took a deep breath and said, “I think… we should call Mr. Lloyd.”
“You‘re right. We can‘t keep this under wraps,” Jennifer said and calmed herself down as much as
possible.
Nydia took a slow breath. “I‘ll call him.”
With that, she walked to the corner with a phone and made a call.
Jennifer wiped her eyes. “You’re not giving him any details.”
The implication was that Jennifer didn‘t want to let Mr. Lloyd know Gloria was involved in the accident.
Nydia nodded at her knowingly.
Gloria closed her eyes. She had to explain it to Mr. Lloyd, but not today. It would only make him feel
worse. She would not say anything in front of so many people here.
They all stayed outside the ward. Some of them blamed themselves. “I shouldn‘t have called him over
for a drink. It was my fault.”
“I shouldn‘t have poured him a drink. It was partly my fault…”
Nydia put the phone down. “No one wants it to happen. We can only pray that Bryson will wake up
soon. The doctor said we‘re allowed to visit him after 24 hours. We‘ll try to wake him up then.”
Jennifer took Gloria‘s hand and tried to control her emotions. “Gloria, I lost my cool and yelled at you.
I‘m sorry.”
Gloria hurriedly shook her head and said with mixed feelings, “It‘s my fault. I …”
Jennifer closed her eyes and then opened them. She looked at Gloria and said seriously, “I‘m not
asking you to promise him anything. I just want you to wake him up by giving him hope or making him
feel inspired. I don‘t want to see him turn into…”
A vegetable.
Jennifer bit back the words that sprang to her lips. Her chest was heaving with sobs. The next moment,
she turned away and covered her mouth to muffle her cries.
Gloria‘s eyes were red–rimmed. She hung her head down, and her lips were trembling.
Nydia‘s face was pale. They all grew up together and were good friends. No one expected this accident
to happen.
Patrick got the call and immediately came to the hospital. Nydia downplayed the severity of Bryson‘s
injuries on the phone. Patrick arrived and found his son in the ICU, and his heart ached!
He looked at the crowd. “What the hell happened to my son!
