“What? Father-in-law? Lucas, you’re already married? When was it? How come I didn’t know?”
As soon as Lucas finished speaking, a series of exclamations and questions came from the woman.
“…” Lucas was speechless.
Fortunately, she realized that this wasn’t the time for gossip and quickly said professionally, “There are many kinds of conditions that can lead to a vegetative state, and your description alone might not be accurate. I have to see the details of the patient in person before making a decision. But I’m currently on a medical rescue mission abroad and can’t leave now.
“How about this? Communicate with your father-in-law’s attending doctor and the hospital, then send me all the reports of his physical condition so that I can take a look.”
Maddy was extremely conscientious, and she didn’t dare to make any promises before looking at the details of the patient’s condition.
Her name was Maddy Stone, a member of the Falcon Regiment who had extremely high attainments in the field of medicine. She had rescued wounded comrades from death on the battlefield in Calico several times before.
Thus, Lucas called her and asked her for help.
Knowing that she said this out of prudent practice as a medical practitioner, Lucas immediately agreed and said genuinely from the bottom of his heart, “Maddy, I’m counting on you for my father-in-law!”
Maddy replied with utmost seriousness, “Lucas, it’s rare for you to ask me for help, so I’ll naturally do my best to help you! You don’t have to worry too much. As far as I know, it’s not rare for people in a vegetative state to awaken. Besides, your father-in-law’s condition is due to getting hit in a car accident. Moreover, he was injured a short while ago, so maybe the situation will still take a turn for the better.”
Lucas knew that Maddy was just comforting him, but he nevertheless thanked her, “Okay, thank you, Maddy. I’ll go look for the doctor right now and send you his examination reports.”
Without further ado, Lucas quickly got the complete and detailed examination reports from the doctor and immediately sent them to Maddy.
After around twenty minutes, Maddy called him again. “I’ve just carefully studied his examination reports, including his brain nerve response data, severity of injuries sustained after the collision, and so on… Ah, forget it. You won’t understand these terms and jargon. I’ll put it this way. His situation is fine, and if treated properly, there’s still great hope for him to be able to regain consciousness.”
After receiving a positive reply from Maddy, Lucas let out a huge sigh of relief. “That’s great news, Maddy! I feel much more relieved.”
Maddy chuckled. “I will send you some of the preliminary treatment plans I’ve drawn up, but I’ll have to do a detailed examination of the patient’s situation after I come back. And it’s your business to convince those doctors to adopt my plan!”
Lucas nodded and smiled. “Naturally. Thank you so much!”
Maddy laughed out loud before saying jokingly, “Haha, I’m really flattered to be able to receive a thank you from you, Lucas. My mission will soon be over, and probably in seven or eight days, I will go home to help you with the treatment. You can buy me a meal afterward! Oh, by the way, I also want you to introduce your wife to me!”
“That’s for sure!” Lucas immediately agreed.
Once Maddy came back to personally treat William, there would be a large possibility for William to wake up.
It was indeed a really joyful thing.
Maddy’s medical attainments were extremely high, and she definitely wasn’t just paying lip service. Lucas was extremely confident in her.
However, because Maddy wouldn’t return from abroad for at least another week, and there was only some hope, Lucas didn’t break the news to Cheyenne and Charlotte in order to avoid them gaining hope only to be disappointed.
Soon, two days passed.
In these two days, Cheyenne and Charlotte were by William’s side almost every single second round the clock. They were anxiously paying close attention to his recovery and even took turns to go to and get off work in order to spend more time with him.
Lucas had been rather busy during the past two days. He was mainly trying to investigate William’s traffic accident. Although the driver of the car had died on the spot, so there was no verbal evidence from him, Lucas was sure that there would be many clues if it was a premeditated accident.
In these two days, Karen’s attitude had changed a lot too. Not only was she staying by William’s side with a grief-stricken expression, but she even personally wiped William down. She would even show concern to Cheyenne and Charlotte and tell them not to be too hard on themselves. She stayed in the hospital and was acting completely like a virtuous wife and mother.
Even Cheyenne, who had been disappointed with Karen’s actions, couldn’t help being moved.
Maybe Mom only realized that she loves Dad deeply after he almost died in the car accident. Maybe that’s why she’s suddenly showing us so much concern too, Cheyenne thought and immediately felt much more relieved.
But the moment she left the ward to go to work, Karen’s expression immediately changed from a gentle, loving mother to menacing.
Karen was the only one left in the ward at this moment.
She closed the door and walked to the unconscious William with a maniacal smile.
“Hahahaha, William Carter, I bet you never thought this would happen to you one day! When you threatened to divorce me, weren’t you very proud of yourself? Now stand up and continue being arrogant!
“Hah, you’re now just like a dead dog. You have to die when I want you to die! I’m telling you, I’ve put up with you for many years, and now I can finally get my revenge!”
Then she raised her hand and gave the defenseless William a hard slap on his face!
Smack! An obvious red mark appeared on William’s pale face.
But one slap was obviously not enough for Karen, and she slapped him again left and right another ten times before stopping.
“Hah, worthless man, you slapped me before, so I’m just giving these slaps back to you!”
Karen finally felt a little more relieved after saying these vicious words.
At this moment, both of William’s cheeks were red and swollen from her slaps.
Karen wasn’t afraid of being caught. After all, there were still several hours before Cheyenne and Charlotte returned from work.
During this period of time, William’s swollen face reduced to the extent that it was almost invisible.
Even if someone noticed that his face was swollen and warm, no one would suspect that she had slapped him because he was a severely wounded patient.
Karen sat in the ward leisurely and rested for a while before lifting the thin blanket covering William. She then pinched the parts of his body covered by the blanket.
“Dog, you’ve ruined my youth for so many years, and I’ve long wanted to kill you, wastrel!”
Karen wantonly abused the immobile William and vented all the anger hidden in her dark personality over the years.
But she didn’t notice that William’s little finger moved slightly twice.
Meanwhile, Lucas, who had been keeping close tabs on the news, finally got the information he wanted. “Lucas, we’ve found that there’s indeed a problem with the family of the driver who caused the accident!”
“What? Father-in-law? Lucas, you’re already married? When was it? How come I didn’t know?”
As soon as Lucas finished speaking, a series of exclamations and questions came from the woman.
