Chapter 720
Upstairs, Olivia was massaging Sophia's legs. At that moment, she was glad she had chosen such a major. Her mother was from the neurosurgery department and could check on Sophia whenever she wanted. She was from the orthopedics department and could help check the injuries on Sophia's hands and legs.
Someone knocked on the door a few times. After all, Liam and Harper were both men. They had to knock before entering the room. "Come in," Olivia said inside.
After saying that, Olivia hid Sophia's hand under the blanket.
She stopped crying and took a nap. Olivia told herself to be strong and not fall. She wanted to help her parents share this sadness. When she turned around and saw the two of them, she said, "Why are you back too?"
Liam walked very quickly. When he saw the injured Sophia, his gentle face immediately turned cold. It was as if a layer of frost had been sprinkled on it. He complained to Olivia, "Fuck, are we still friends? Can't you use a few cents to call us for such a big matter?"
Olivia originally wanted to explain that she only knew about it last night, but when she saw their tense expressions, she did not want to explain anymore. Both Liam and Harper were frowning so hard. The usually talkative Harper only stared at Sophia and pursed his lips tightly.
"Don't you guys only finish school tomorrow?" Olivia's tone was flat, and one could not tell her emotions. It was as if Sophia was only sleeping.
It was Liam's first time to see Sophia being so seriously injured. In his impression, Sophia never cried. She was in high spirits every day. It was as if she never got tired. From time to time, she could even box. He missed it. Thinking about it, he felt depressed.
He pulled a chair over and sat down at the side. He glanced at Sophia, whose face was covered in injuries and bruises. He was silent for a few seconds before saying, trying to provoke her, "Didn't you say that you won't be injured? Didn't you say that you have an indestructible body? You even said you were invulnerable. Wasn't what you said bullshit? You proved yourself wrong, didn't you? Weakling, get up and hit me if you have the ability."
Olivia smiled with tears in her eyes and reminded him, "Sophia is just asleep. She heard what you said. Be careful! She might bring up the past and settle scores with you when she wakes up."
Liam continued to provoke her. He was looking forward to Sophia getting up and beating him up. At this moment, his entire body was itching. "What's so good about bringing up the past and settling scores? Sophia, if you have the ability, get up and beat me up. I'll let you make three moves first."
Harper, who was usually glib-tongued and could make the dead seem alive, was at a loss for words. He just stared at Sophia in a daze. He had been frowning since he entered. His mind was filled with images of Sophia chasing after him and beating him up. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt.
Olivia's eyes flickered. "When Sophia wakes up, you might not be able to win even if she only uses one hand. Am I right, Sophia?"
The three of them stayed in the room for almost two hours. Harper occasionally said a few words. Most of the time, it was Liam and Olivia chatting casually.
Before he left, Liam walked to the door. He turned to Olivia, who was secretly wiping her tears. He said, "Phones are not for decoration. Call me if you need anything. We're all on."
Olivia did not say anything and only nodded silently.
Since Ava said that her parents were coming, Natalie and Trevon did not sleep. They waited in Sophia's room.
Before one o'clock in the morning, the Turner family people pushed open the door of the Wilson's residence. They went straight upstairs without even carrying their luggage. The leader was Daniel, followed by Emma, Joseph, Christina, and George.
The door was pushed open. Everyone in the room turned around and stood up at the same time. Natalie greeted them one by one. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Emma's heart ached as she walked over to hug Natalie. She could not bear to blame her. "You... How can you not tell us about it?"
Everyone stood beside Sophia's bed. George called out softly. When the person on the bed did not respond, he frowned. When everyone saw Sophia, their expressions did not look good.
Daniel's eyes also seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. He raised his hand and gently wiped it away.
Trevon recounted Sophia's situation. Daniel nodded with mixed feelings. Joseph was in a low mood. He patted Trevon's shoulder and said, "Human effort can achieve anything. If we do everything we can, we can wake Sophia up."
Christina patted George's head, who was also in low spirits. "Stay here and accompany Sophia for a while. Your father and I will go down to discuss something."
Natalie pulled out of Emma's embrace. She felt so sorry. "Christina, why did you let George come over too? Isn't he going to class tomorrow?"
Christina explained, "When this child heard that something had happened to Sophia, he asked Joseph to help him apply for leave. It's fine. He has arrangements."
George had always been self-disciplined. He would never do anything without a plan. Even if something unexpected happened, he had a way to remedy it. This was inherited from Joseph. He always planned for a rainy day.
Olivia, Jasper, and Ruby walked over. No one in the villa was asleep. After a while, Rachel and Caleb also came over.
After Ruby greeted the Turner family people, everyone went downstairs. Joseph and Trevon were discussing solutions. Before coming, Joseph had already contacted many foreign brain experts and spent a lot of money to hire them. They would come to Athana tomorrow to diagnose Sophia.
Trevon knew it would be the same no matter how many people came. Sophia would not wake up immediately. Over the past few days, three groups of doctors had come to treat Sophia, but the results were the same.
However, he did not want to reject the good intentions of Joseph and the others. He also had a trace of hope, thinking, 'What if we meet a miracle-working doctor?'
A gentle person would always be gentle no matter the time and age. At this moment, Emma was like this. She spoke gently and was still in the same plain gown. She tied a third of her hair and pinned it with a hairpin. "Ava and Frank originally planned to rush over, but I told them not to."
Natalie nodded and held Emma's hand. She looked at Joseph and said, "Thank you, Joseph."
Joseph pretended to be angry and glared at Natalie. "I haven't criticized you yet. If Ava didn't tell us, would you have planned to hide it for a few days? The older you get, the bolder you become."
Natalie lowered her head guiltily. Joseph had guessed what she was thinking. Christina knew that Joseph wasn't criticizing Natalie. It was because he felt sorry for her. She nudged Joseph gently and gave him a look. "Natalie, Joseph is worried about you. He's afraid that you'll overthink.
However, in the future, no matter what happens, you still have to inform us. There's a distance between Sapphire City and Athana, but this distance won't be a reason for us not to come. Sophia's matter is more important than anything else. Not only Sophia. Every child is more important than the company."
Christina's every word was confirmative. Every word she said was what the Turner family people wanted to express. As expected, Joseph spoke the next second with a solemn expression. "Remember what Christina said. There can't be a next time."
Natalie promised, "Got it. It won't happen again."
Caleb's knees were covered with a blanket. He said, "Daniel, thank you."
"If our children are in trouble, no matter where we are, we must rush back to check on them. Aren't we working hard all our lives for our children?" Daniel asked.
Caleb nodded in agreement, thinking his son was lucky to have found a wife like Natalie. Such a kind family was rare.
It was said that a friend in need was a friend indeed. Jasper's fiancee was also good. Ruby stayed by Jasper's side day and night. Caleb had seen Ruby wake up to accompany Jasper to stay in Sophia's room at night several times. During the day, they went out together. Caleb and Rachel saw it.
Rachel was not talkative. However, she could chat with Emma for a while. It was mainly because Emma was easy to get along with and comfortable to chat with.
An hour later, Trevon told everyone to rest. The Turner family people had rooms in the Wilson's residence. There were also rooms for the Roberts family. They would clean the rooms on time.
The next day, the doctors Joseph hired diagnosed Sophia one after another. As Trevon expected, the results were the same. His mood did not fluctuate much, and he had accepted it.
On the other hand, the Turner family people were much more depressed. After hearing the diagnosis, Emma turned around and wiped her tears. Christina also frowned. She did not expect this outcome.
After the doctors left, Natalie asked Jasper and Ruby to go to work. It was useless to have so many people here. Sophia would probably need some time to digest before she woke up.
It was just that they didn't know if it would be a week, a month, or a year...
All they could do was waiting.
Natalie said, "Christina, take George to visit Mrs. Yamin too. Mrs. Yamin must miss George."
Christina had this plan. She planned to visit her parents and then come back. "Then I'll come back later."
Natalie replied, "It's fine. You don't come back often. Spend more time with Mrs. Yamin."
Joseph said, "I'll send Christina over. I'll be back soon."
Natalie nodded, not daring to refuse Joseph's good intentions.
Natalie then asked Emma and the others to go to the Roberts family to play. She didn't want everyone to stay in the Wilson's residence because of Sophia. She didn't want everyone to be depressed. After a few days, she and Trevon had thought it through. As long as there was hope, it was fine. It was just waiting anyway.
Christina and Joseph took their son to the Yamin family, and Emma and her husband went to the Roberts family to visit Grace.
At night, the Wilson's residence was unusually lively. The sad atmosphere was much lighter. It had changed to a different mode.
Downstairs, Frank, Ava, Sherri, Hackett, Christina, Joseph, Stella, Rose, and Edward were all drinking coffee and chatting.
Chris came during the day and didn't come at night because Leia was on a business trip.
Upstairs was another scene. A large table was moved into Sophia's room. A few people were playing a game of cards. Olivia and Liam were in a group, while Cyril and Harper were in a group. The people at the side were all sitting and watching. All the kids were huddled together to form a circle around the table.
Everyone cried when they arrived. The one who cried the loudest was Nona. She liked to cry so much, and she was easily touched.
After everyone cried, Liam didn't like this kind of atmosphere. It made it seem like Sophia had left for good. She was only in a coma. He thought they should wake Sophia up with a cheerful atmosphere.
He did not believe that with Sophia's lively personality, she could sleep for a long time and not get up to play with them.
Hence, there was this card game.
Cyril scratched his head and felt that Harper's card skills were not good. He complained, "Do you know how to play? My points have already been used up. If this continues, we'll lose."
Harper kept arranging the cards in his hand. He felt that Cyril was a little noisy. "Don't be noisy. Let me take a look. You kept making noise and messed up my thoughts."
Cyril was worried about Harper's card skills. From time to time, a few cards would fall from his hand. It was as if he was showing his cards to others. He had no choice but to ask, "Harper, are you sure you can play it?"
Everyone was amused when they heard it. Jayden was honest. "Harper's hand can't hold the cards anymore. There are too many of them. There's still a 2 in the middle."
Harper's card-playing skills were indeed not that good. Perhaps he had inherited Rose's skills. Rose was not talented in cards. Every time she played, Edward had to cheat to let her win.
And he had to cheat with all his might to let Rose win.
