"We are not sure. But his chances of waking up are very small..."
These words rumbled in Linda Xia's head like a thunder. Linda suddenly thought of the act that Rosy Nalan had put on in the plum garden earlier. She was very angry at her right now.
"Tell me honestly. What is the possibility of my grandfather's recovery?" Linda took a deep breath to calm herself down in case she would lose her temper.
Anna replied, "Generally speaking, people who recover from vegetative states are quite rare. Despite this, some of the functions of the patient's brain can still work well, so this means that they can still acquire information from the outside world. In short, those patients are likely to recover because they are in a state of minimal consciousness. We found out that some parts of His Lordship's brain can still function well. We think that, with good care, there is about a 10% chance for him to wake up. But it's a pity that we cannot be sure of when he would be able to. Maybe half a year, a whole year, or even a decade... We even have to welcome the idea that he might never wake up at all."
Anna paused for a while and added, "Nothing's for sure. If everything goes well, His Lordship may wake up in just a few months."
"As long as there is a ray of hope, I will not give up on him." After hearing the words from Anna's mouth, Linda felt a little relieved. At least, her grandfather still had a chance to wake up.
"Okay, we have to go back. It's almost three o'clock in the morning. You also need to rest. You'd better go for a break first, so you'll be rested in case there's anything for you to deal with."
Since Lord Nalan had had a surgery and Linda had heard what she needed to hear, she thought that there was no need for her to stay here any longer.
A pregnant woman was not of any use here anyway.
"Yes, My Lady. Let's go back. It's three o'clock in the morning. His Lordship has been sent to the intensive care unit. And there are professional nurses to take care of him. Nothing else will happen. I can guarantee that His Lordship will be well taken care of."
Linda nodded her head. She understood that she couldn't do anything at the moment but go back and rest, so she went home with Charles.
Bun, Anna, and Paul went with them, too.
As soon as Linda Xia arrived home, she went straight to bed.
She had been trying to hold back her tears and anxiety when Lord Nalan was in the operating room, so now, she was feeling quite exhausted and only wanted to sleep. She wished she could receive good news regarding her grandfather's condition when she would wake up tomorrow morning.
Charles Mu seemed a little annoyed. Bun and Anna who followed him behind did not dare to say a word. Earlier that night, Charles had called Paul and the Mu Security Team to take Lord Nalan from the private hospital of the Nalan clan. Paul guessed that something serious had to have happened.
It was not the right time for him to ask about it in detail in the hospital, so he decided to ask now, "Young Master, what happened today? Why would Lord Nalan end up in hospital?"
Charles didn't answer him. Instead, he said, "I will tell you later. It's too late. Just go back and have some rest."
Paul nodded and replied, "Okay, Young Master. Sleep well."
"Oh, wait a minute. Remember to cancel the meeting for tomorrow morning."
"Yes, I will."
The next morning, Linda was surprised to find Charles lying beside her when she woke up.
Usually, Charles Mu would have already gone to his company to deal with a load of work instead of sleeping in with her at this time.
Linda Xia now got up much later since she was pregnant. She wouldn't get up until about nine o'clock in the morning.
But today, Charles was still on the bed. Was it still early?
Linda Xia looked at the clock, only to find that it was already eleven o'clock. She was surprised to find that she had gotten up at almost noon with Charles still beside her.
It suddenly occurred to her that, last night, Charles Mu had accompanied her in the hospital until about three o'clock in the morning. And they got home almost an hour later. It seemed somewhat cruel to have Charles Mu go to work at seven o'clock, just three hours after they got back.
He was not a workaholic, was he?
Feeling some movement beside him, Charles Mu also woke up. When he opened his eyes, he found that Linda Xia was staring at him blankly. He touched her head and said, "Honey, you're up."
