The moment the bell rang, she was nervous again.
She wanted to know how was Ivan, but she didn't want any bad news... She was nervous, conflicted, uneasy.
"Hello." Rowan's voice came over, It's Rowan."
"It's me." Jennifer spoke softly, "How is he?"
"Master?" Rowan was surprised, "Is this your number?"
"No." She tried to be as calm as possible, "I'm using Spencer's phone. Tell me, how is he now? What's going on? Is he really out of danger?"
"Yes, but he had not woken up yet." Rowan told her truthfully, "I don't know when he'll wake up. He might become vegetative. Or he might wake up someday in the near future."
He wasn't sure at all.
Jennifer asked him, "You're going to find a way to wake him up, right? You're going to try, right?"
She put all her hopes on Rowan.
"He can't be a vegetable!" Jennifer was slightly excited. "He is the chosen one, the legend of the business world. What's the difference between being vegetative and dying?"
"Master..." Rowan's heart was tightening, "I will try, but... I can't promise. So, if I fail, please don't blame me."
Jennifer held the phone in tears, even breathing was painful. "I don't blame you... I only hate myself."
"Are you okay?" Rowan was worried about her mood, "Where are you? Did he treat you well?"
Jennifer comforted Rowan, "He didn't do anything to me. I went with him voluntarily. Otherwise, this place can't trap me. I'm just keeping my promise to stay by his side."
Vegetative...
Ivan had the potential to become vegetative…
Jennifer couldn't accept it.
