At the sound of his voice, Cynthia tumed to look at him.
“How is he?” she asked.
“He’s past the critical stage. The good news is that he won’t end up in a vegetative state. However, the bad news is that his central nervous damage might result in various symptoms, including but not limited to those mentioned by Yves,” Sean reported, sounding more serious than before.

Cynthia felt as though her heart was being crushed. “When will he wake up?”
“In a day or two. Get the consent form signed in the meantime. Once he wakes up, I can transfer him to my place. The facilities
are more advance and conducive to his treatment,” Sean replied.

“Okay,” Cynthia agreed,
Seeing that she was still standing there, Sean lifted an eyebrow. “You should go. Any further delay may affect his optimal recovery time.”
“I’d like to see him one more time. Cynthia expressed her wishes.
Sean allowed her to.

After obtaining Joshua’s physical data from Sean, Cynthia booked her flight to Jiverton. The situation’s current state was something she had never anticipated.

[Cynthiar Uncle Neal, are you there?]
[Felix: Yes]
[Cynthia: Are you available right now? There’s something I would like to discuss with you alone.]
Felix paused as he held his phone, subconsciously glancing at his wife playing chess with Old Man Neal. Despite his wife’s

“Yes, you’re right,” he said.
“If you really think I’m right, you should go out and make more money. All you do is read the newspaper all day, never doing anything else!” Old Man Neal retorted, not hesitating to give him a piece of lib
