Chapter 356
Chapter 356
Layne panted heavily.
When he came back to his senses, he ran out of the ward to chase after Raymond.
However, Raymond had already disappeared
Immediately after, Layne’s fear and guilt surged.
“Dad… I’m sorry… I’m really sorry…
Only now did Layne realize how much pressure Raymond had been under.
Diane’s death and the incident at Sun City Square.
He was afraid that Raymond would not be able to celebrate Christmas this year.
The sun rose.
II was already seven thirty in the morning.
On the first day of Christmas, the entire Fowler family was still waiting outside the ward.
Not a single person left.
No one went to rest.
They were still waiting for Anna to wake up.
Jack received permission to enter the ICU ward again, and he put on sterile clothes.
Anna’s vitals were under control. After half a day longer of observation, she could be transferred to a normal ward.”
The doctor believed that she would wake up soon.
Hence, the doctor suggested that Jack stay by Anna’s side and call out Anna’s name while talking to her.
Even though Anna was unconscious, she could still hear Jack’s words subconsciously.
The call of the person he loved the most could stimulate Anna’s brain waves. Theoretically, it could help Anna to wake up faster.
Jack knelt beside Anna Looking at his beloved wife’s pale face, he could not control his tears again. They were welling up in the seven-foot-tall man’s eyes, which were red.
“Anna… Anna… Please wake up, okay? I really can’t bear to see you like this.
“Can you bear to keep sleeping and make us worry? The doctor said that you should be awake by now. Anna, open your eyes and look at me, okay?”
Patiently, Jack called out to Anna again and again. With sad words, he told Anna everything.
Those who heard it shed tears due to sadness.
And Jack finally heard a faint sound.
*J-Ja…”
This voice was like the sound of angels.
Jack felt as if his heart had been hammered by something. He was overjoyed. “Anna? You’re awake? I’m here! I’m here!”
If not for the IV drip on the back of Anna’s hand, Jack really wanted to hold Anna’s hand tightly.
He would never let go again.
“Jane… Jane…
“I’m sorry… It’s my fault…
“I’m really sorry….
“I’m sorry, Jack… I still can’t forget… My heart… hurts…
The name Anna called out was not Jack.
Instead, it was Jane.
At that moment, Jack seemed to be able to figure out something from Anna’s words.
Anna, as Jane’s mother, realized how wrong she was.
When she did, she felt like she was being tortured. She felt guilty and sorrowful..
Jack thought that he understood Anna. He thought she could gradually let it go.
Only now did Jack know that Anna’s guilt toward Jane would never disappear.
It would follow Anna for the rest of her life.
Even if Amma received all the love and happiness that the world could offer her, none of them could wash away Anna’s sadness. They would follow Anna to her death.
So…
Recently, Anna had been wanting to reassure her family
She had been suppressing everything and not acknowledging her feelings, even if it was like a vicious thorn that was stuck in her heart and pained her from time to time.
“Anna 1 know.
“If that’s what you want, as your husband, the man who loves you the most in the world, I’ll do anything to help you!”
Jack’s eyes flashed with determination.
He had already made up his mind.
Just like what he had promised Anna, Anna’s parents, and the church.
For the rest of his life, Jack would only give Anna happiness.
Even if he had to pluck the stars or the moon, he would get on a spaceship and do as he was told!
Jack left the ICU ward.
When Henry and the others saw this, they thought that Anna had woken up. They hurriedly asked, “Dad, did Mom wake up?”
“You guys stay here and watch her. I have something important to do!”
Jack quickly left with a solemn expression.
The Fowlers were left dumbfounded.
“Something important that he has to do? Is there anything more important to Dad than Mom?”
Henry quickly chased after him. “Dad, leave whatever you want to do to me. Mom needs you by her side the most now. The doctor also said that you need to talk to Mom more so that you will stimulate her to wake up quickly.”
“Henry, this matter can only be done by me. Listen to me, you and your brothers stay here and watch Anna.
“No one else is allowed to follow me!”
Since Jack had said so, Henry and the others could only stay where they were.
They watched Jack leave.
They had no idea.
They would never expect what Jack was going to do next.
If they knew, they would have stopped Jack even if they had to risk their lives.
Sam and Peter had already brought breakfast over. When they saw Jack leave, they were also curious. “Where is Dad going? Doesn’t he want to go in to accompany Mom? Isn’t he going to eat breakfast?”
