"The doctor said you'd be waking up soon, and he was right. How are you feeling? Are you hungry? I just had the cook at home make some nutritious soup. It'll be here any minute."

Sabrina first glanced at Bella. After the mother and daughter exchanged a look and confirmed that Martin likely hadn't overheard anything, their expressions returned to normal.

"I think... I am a little hungry. Honey, you're so thoughtful."

"I just spoke with the doctor. Honey, your body hasn't fully recovered yet. You need to get more rest from now on.

The doctor said you're severely sleep-deprived and overly anxious. Sabrina, it's been hard on you lately."

As Martin said this, Sabrina began to sob. "I've been so worried about all of you. Seeing you all so miserable every day made my heart ache. How could I eat or sleep well?"

"Honey, I'm sorry you were worried. The office called and said your livestream today was very effective. A lot of netizens are taking your side and speaking up for you and the company. I'm sure the company's crisis will be over soon."

Upon hearing this, Bella's first thought was about the money they had invested and whether they could get it back.

"Dad, will the company be able to return to its previous state?"

At this question, Martin looked troubled. It was obvious that returning to their former glory would be very difficult.

"Don't worry, Bella. The company will get better day by day."

Bella felt foolish for asking. This time, the Mercer Group had taken a massive hit. It would be nearly impossible to get the stock price back to its previous height.

Unless the Mercer Group could achieve some extraordinary technological innovation or secure a massive injection of capital.

Only absolutely positive news could elevate the Mercer family again.

"Dad, I'll leave Mom in your care. I only took a half-day off, so I have to get back now."

Martin nodded. "Don't worry. I've also hired a professional caregiver to look after your mother; she'll be here soon. You should get back to work. Your job is important, too. Don't worry about us."

Bella knew best that Sabrina wasn't seriously hurt.

However, she had to stay and play her part. To make the act convincing, she had to be there. If she dropped the act, things would get complicated.

After leaving the hospital, Bella didn't go straight back to the office.

Money. The most important thing right now was to get more money, and fast.

Sabrina's old friends had invested their life savings with her. If she couldn't get that money back, it would be a huge problem.
