Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 675

Chapter 675 He Called You a Moron

Leanna stayed in the hospital ward for three whole days, but William showed no signs of waking up whatsoever.

On the fourth day, she happened to see the slightest twitches in the hands of the man lying on the hospital bed when she looked up from her manuscripts.

She quickly jumped to her feet and called for the doctor.

The doctor spoke to her in Dellshorean after examining William, "I'm afraid it's just a reflexive action. His consciousness has not fully recovered, so it might take a while for him to regain consciousness."

"He won't be in danger anymore, right?"

"As long as his wounds do not become inflamed and cause a high fever, there should be no problem." He continued after a brief pause, "But, the patient might occasionally have some measure of consciousness. You should speak to him more often. He might hear you, and your voice might stimulate him to wake up."

She nodded lightly. "Thank you."

After the doctor left the hospital ward, Leanna sat down once more and glanced at the manuscripts on the coffee table but did not pick them up. Instead, she walked over to the hospital bed and sat down.

She seemed to catch a glimpse of familiarity in his unfamiliar eyes as she stared at the man on the bed.

Leanna did not know what to say to him, so a long time passed before she slowly began rambling, "Two weeks ago, I participated in a jewelry exhibition where I saw the ring that you used to propose to my mother. I also heard about the origin of the ring and the story of the last time the ring was used.

"To be honest, I was very curious about your past. I wanted to know about the stories between you and my mother, as well as the things that happened in my childhood. Mr. Jackson told me some stories when I was at the Crossley Residence previously. But… those stories are too vague. I can't remember anything about those times.

"I've always had the same recurring dream throughout the years. There was a raging fire before me, and I kept trying to run into the fire. However, there was a hand constantly pulling me away and dragging me away from that place. I'm sure that you and I are the same. We both want to know the truth behind what happened after the explosion. Why did my mother take me away… Aside from that, I also want to know how you survived that explosion.

"If… If my mother had known that you were alive, she would have been thrilled. We probably would not have met after so many years of separation. I might already have called you 'Dad' a long time ago. Our little family might have lived together forever…"

At the end of Leanna's long monologue, her voice had gotten rough and choked up. Her eyes were also reddened and brimming with tears.

On the other hand, the patient lying on the bed showed no reaction except for a single tear that slipped out from the corner of his eye.

All of a sudden, a wave of emotions surged up inside her. Unable to control the wave of emotions that overwhelmed her, she hurriedly ran out of the hospital room. She stared up at the sky and took several deep breaths. In the end, she managed to force back her tears.

Although she did not know when he would regain consciousness, she could be certain that he had heard everything she said just now.

She walked over to the bench along the corridor and sat down. Then, she held her phone with her head lowered and seemed to be in deep thought about something.

…

There had been significant turmoil within the Complex Group ever since William was shot and hospitalized. Then, just as the company was about to sink into crisis, William's assistant walked into the meeting room with Aidan in tow.

Many of the Complex Group's senior executives opposed Aidan's involvement. They believed that Aidan was an outsider who had no qualifications to handle the company's affairs.

To their utter surprise, it only took him two days to locate the collaborative partnership that had previously been threatened at gunpoint by those people.

With the supply chains restored, the company instantly began to operate as usual.

Even so, the company was greatly affected by the incident. Unfortunately, it would take some time before things would return to how they were before.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The group who attacked William had initially planned to head toward Warkin after seizing the cargo ship. Alas, they were intercepted in the Adalatic Sea.

When these people saw the enormous cruise ship blocking their way and the gleaming 'Woodley' name decorating the side of the cruise ship, they quickly exchanged a glance with each other and took out their weapons. Then, they made preparations to defend themselves, but, strangely enough, there was no movement from the cruise ship.

These people had been hiding on the sea for some time now, so their food and water supply had been exhausted.
