Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1527

Chapter 1527 Becoming Enlightened

“How is he?”

Everyone’s eyes were filled with hopeful longing and sheer anxiety at the same time.

Looking glum, Grayson shook his head. “It’s not looking good. Although we managed to save him, he’s most probably going to spend his remaining days bedridden. He’s still unconscious as of now. So, we can’t tell if there are other symptoms or side effects.”

Grayson was feeling extremely dejected.

His words were followed by prolonged silence as everyone in the hallway fell into despair, unable to accept the fact which came like a bolt from the blue.

Bedridden for life? How devastating will that be for a general who has led countless troops to victory to receive this bad news? It’s a bitter pill for him to swallow, much worse than taking his life.

At that instant, everyone hit rock bottom emotionally.

A few minutes later, Sabrina brought the matter up in the family chat group.

Rufus was stunned to learn the shocking news. So, he booked the first flight to return to Jadeborough the following morning.

Meanwhile, Solomon and Ichika also planned to visit Jonathan, a senior who had rendered them a lot of support.

The next day, many gathered at the hospital.

“Sha, how’s Old Mr. Jadeson? Is he okay?”

Ichika, who was very fond of Jonathan, threw the question at Sasha as soon as she arrived.

The latter did not know how to respond because Jonathan was still unconscious.

The wait was extremely hard to bear for everyone.

When they peeped into the ward, they could see an old monk dressed in a grey robe. He was sitting next to the bed with his hands clasped in a prayerful position. His eyes were tightly shut. One could tell that he was very focused while chanting.

Nobody seemed to know what was on his mind, but they were all certain he was praying for Jonathan’s speedy recovery. After all, he owed it all to the old man in this lifetime.

Perhaps Heaven took pity on Jonathan, or maybe Shin’s earnest prayers and continuous plea for over three decades had moved God’s heart; Jonathan slowly opened his eyes when the afternoon sunbeam gently weaved its way through the window blinds.

“You’re awake?”

Shin had very sensitive hearing. As soon as he heard the slightest movement, he opened his eyes and was delighted to see the face that greeted him.

Jonathan fixed his eyes on his son. He had not seen Shin with such an expression in a long time.

When they met at the temple, Shin always wore a polite but apathetic smile and remained indifferent throughout.

Jonathan was lost in his gaze. After a long pause, he asked in a hoarse voice, “You stayed up the entire night?”

Shin remained silent. It took him a while to snap back into his senses.

Nodding rather stiffly, he answered, “Chanting and praying for your recovery is the least I could do.”
