Chapter 270 Probably Becoming a Vegetable
The three critical days passed fast. Martha had been taking care of Stefan all over the days.
Unfortunately, he still had no sign of waking up.
Outside the ICU, Giana and Amanda had also arrived.
Looking at the attending doctor, Amanda asked tensely, "Didn't you tell us he'd woke up after thecritical period? Why is he still in a coma?"
The attending doctor cast a glance at her and replied professionally, "I need to check up on thepatient to understand his current status."novelbin
Half an hour later, the attending doctor left the ICU with a solemn look.
Amanda hurriedly approached him and asked, "How's Stefan doing? When will he wake up?"
The doctor shook his head and said solemnly, "His status has stabilized. He's out of danger.However, it will probably take a long time for him to wake up."
Giana also walked up to him and questioned in an agitated tone, "What do you mean?"
Martha and Bianca were standing aside. After hearing the doctor's words, they exchanged a glancein silence.
Heaving a sigh, the doctor answered, "According to the patient's current status, he'll probablybecome a vegetable."
As soon as his words came out, Amanda exclaimed in shock, "What? Has Stefan become avegetable?"
"Has he?" Giana also asked harshly but didn't sound upset.
She watched the doctor nod, a scheming light flashing through her eyes.
If Stefan had become a vegetable, the Harrison Group would belong to her.
Martha saw the doctor nodding, and the ray of hope dimmed in her eyes.
She trembled violently and flinched, almost falling to the ground.
Bianca quickly helped her keep her balance and gently consoled her, "There's hope, Martha. Bestrong."
Although she said so, she was also worried that Stefan would never wake up.
Jimmy had met his birth father not long ago. How could they tell him about the cruel news?
Martha also thought of Jimmy, deciding to hide the bad news from him.
Otherwise, she couldn't imagine how much Jimmy would suffer.
The doctor added solemnly in the direction where Bianca and Martha stood, "We cannot predictwhen he will wake up according to his current status. Please be prepared for the worst-casescenario."
With those words, the doctor left the ICU, leaving the four women alone.
Once he left, Giana sobbed, "How could it be like this? Stefan suddenly became a vegetable. Howam I supposed to explain it to his father in Heaven?"
"If my brother knows it, he'll blame me for not taking good care of Stefan."
"It's all my fault. I'm sorry, Stefan..."
Giana howled in the corridor, looking frustrated and pitiful.
However, she didn't care whether Stefan would wake up or not.
In her opinion, Stefan becoming a vegetable was excellent news for her.
When Giana returned from abroad, she planned to let her adopted daughter marry Stefan so thatshe would get the Harrison family property gradually.
Since Stefan suddenly became a vegetable, Giana believed she could naturally gain control overthe Harrison family and become the hostess.
A shrewd light flashed through her eyes. Giana couldn't help imagining what a wonderful life shewould lead in the future.
Amanda was taken aback for a while. When she returned to the present, she gripped Giana'ssleeves tightly. "What should we do, Mom? Will Stefan not wake up anymore?"
Amanda wondered who could become her husband if Stefan didn't wake up.
From the first glance at Stefan, Amanda couldn't help but fall for him.
Besides, Stefan was a charming and rich man, so Amanda always dreamed of being his wife. Yetthe accident that happened suddenly shattered her dream.
Amanda was anxious. Staring at the man in the ICU through the window, she called softly, "Stefan,wake up! If you don't wake up, what should we do?"
"Amanda, we're so unlucky. I thought we could have a good life after returning from abroad. What atragedy!" Giana howled more loudly but didn't shed many tears.
Bianca thought she was indeed good at acting as she could tell Giana didn't care about Stefan.Giana was pretending to be a loving aunt to him.
Right then, Martha was in a daze as if she couldn't hear anything around her, only blankly gazing atStefan on the bed.
She had never thought Stefan, the decisive and powerful CEO, would someday become avegetable.
Bianca could tell how upset Martha was.
She wanted to make Martha feel better but didn't know how.
In the past, she also blamed Stefan for mistreating Martha.
After this accident, Bianca changed her impression of him.
Stefan risked his life to protect Martha. It proved how important Martha was to him.
"Bianca, if I promised him that day, do you think he would wake up after the accident?" Marthaasked in a low voice, recalling the scene the other day.
Even before Stefan fainted, he begged her for another chance.
Martha guessed he would try to wake up because of her forgiveness if she agreed.
Her words caused a heartache in Bianca's chest. She patted Martha's hand and consoled her,"Don't worry, Martha. He'll definitely wake up."
"But the doctor asked us to be prepared for the worst-case scenario."
Bianca gripped her hand tightly. "He knows you're waiting for him, and so is Jimmy, his lovely son.How could he be willing to sleep forever?"
