Anderson’s face darkened.
“I’m so sorry to hear about the car accident happened to Cathy and her friend. And if it had not been for Torres, Cathy could have been injured worse. But why was Torres following behind Cathy’s car?”
Scott said in a seemingly innocent manner.
But in fact there was a strong current of malice.
The look in Anderson’s face hardened even more. The relationship between Catherine and Owen had always been a thorn in his side.
It had been a sharp thorn in his side for many years.
Now there was little hope that Owen would awake, and Catherine would never ever forget him. He didn’t get rid of the thorn. In the contrary, it got deeper in his flesh.
…
Catherine asked Antonio again about Owen’s condition.
But she didn’t get good news.
Antonio shook his head slightly, “Only a minority of vegetables could regain consciousness. Even if they finally wake up, their body would suffer irreversible damage.”
“You’d better prepare yourself for it.”
The panic and sadness flooded Catherine again. She struggled to restrain herself to avoid falling sick.
She took a few deep breath, trying to calm down and keep her sense.
Antonio noticed her problem and gave her pills and a glass of warm water, “They were left by Owen not long ago.”
Catherine swallowed the pills with teary eyes, “I want to keep Owen company and talk to him.”
Antonio expressed his disagreement, “You’d better not. The Torres family are in his ward. I don’t think it’s a good time.”
“Owen was injured because of me, so it’s reasonable for his parents to be mad at me.”
“I know you have a sense of guilt, but your appearance would irritate them.”
Catherine stopped with hesitation, pondering for a while, and then said in a low voice, “But anyway I have to apologize.”
Antonio watched her leaving, raised a thin smile and then followed her.
“Why are you following me?” Catherine asked in confusion.
“If you get beat up, I could be there helping dress your wounds.”
In Owen’s ward, Aubrey was looking at Owen lying in the bed and her face was drowned in tears. Harrison Torres’s hair was getting almost all white in a few days.
Catherine felt sad and guilt at the sight of them.
Aubrey saw her and stood up in irritation, “What are you doing here? Get out. You are not welcomed here.”
“You train wreck! Get out!”
Aubrey pointed at Catherine and screamed hysterically.
Harrison came toward Catherine, looking at her with red eyes, and said with deep sorrow, “Catherine, please go.”
Catherine couldn’t help but burst into tears.
She knelt down all of a sudden.
“Mrs. and Mr. Torres, I am sorry, sorry!”
