For Romy, this sentence was undoubtedly a reassurance. The feeling of thinking that hope had finally come true was too unbearable. Now that she heard Kevin say that Alivia had regained consciousness, even if it was only for a moment, it was enough to replenish her energy.
Her good daughter was finally back.
Romy turned around and cried silently. This news was more than worth celebrating for her.
Soon, Kevin and the others left the ward and returned to the office to study the plan. All the instruments and data connected to Alivia were observed in real-time. Once they fluctuated again, they would be directly reported to the doctor's office.
Bert soon heard the news and asked Kevin to call him personally. After listening to Alivia's words, the man on the other end of the phone was silent for two minutes.
Kevin did not speak. Instead, he gave him time to slowly digest the information.
After a long time, the man asked in a trembling voice, "Really?"
"It's true." When Kevin heard her excited but calm tone, his heart ached. "I won't joke about the patient's condition."
On the other end of the phone, Bert was standing on the top floor of the building. He looked at the distant horizon through the floor-to-ceiling window. He seemed to be floating in the clouds. He couldn't grab anything, so he lost his balance. He took a small step back and almost couldn't stand still.
All the muscles in his body seemed to have been broken down by strong sulfuric acid, and he was powerless and bulging. For a moment, there was only a white expanse in front of him. The first thought that came to his mind was to pick up the car key and walk out of the office.
"I'll go over now." His voice was hoarse as if it had been polished by a stone. "Let's talk when we meet."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Bert pushed the door open and walked out quickly. When the secretary and assistant saw him walking toward the elevator, they couldn't help reminding him in confusion, "Mr. Harper, the director of Crafago's embassy, will be here later. What about you..."
