Save Myself From Desperation by Cara Agnes novel Chapter 256

Valentin got close to Zain. Judging by Zain's expression, Valentin could read his mind. He couldn't help but frown, "Grandpa."

Zain raised his hand to wipe the tears from his eyes and nodded repeatedly. "You finally woke up. Ashley has been taking care of you recently, and she even lost weight."

Valentin knew Ashley well, and he had guessed it.

Ashley originally had difficulty in gaining weight. Valentin took her to Kingsley Manor and took good care of her, providing her with the best living conditions so that she could gain some weight, but now she has lost weight again.

Ashley didn't take her efforts seriously, but Zain's words made her shy.

Ralph and Maggie talked to Valentin and finally felt relieved when they found Valentin's condition returned to normal.

After the examination, the dean and the doctors came over with the expedited report.

Ashley asked nervously, "Dean, how is he doing now?"

Zain, Joseph, Ralph, Maggie, and Tom all looked toward the dean.

The dean unfolded the inspection report in his hand and said carefully, "After inspection, Mr. Kingsley's wounds are no longer serious, and all physical indicators are normal. However, Mr. Kingsley suffered a severe head injury and will remain in the hospital recovering. We need to observe if he develops any symptoms."

After all, the brain was the most important organ in the human body, so doctors took seriously the consequences of a severe head injury.

Ashley stood before the bed at this time. Hearing this, she couldn't help but hold Valentin's hand.

They intertwined their fingers. Valentin wrapped his palm around her hand. Ashley sensed his encouragement and calmed her tension.

The dean added, "Moreover, Mr. Kingsley has been in a coma for nearly a week. He just woke up not long ago. It is inevitable that he will be weak. But don't worry about it. He will recover gradually."

Then, the dean explained some other considerations.

Ashley wrote it all down.

In order not to disturb Valentin's rest, the director led the doctors out of the ward after explaining the precautions.

Joseph finally took the chance and rushed to the bed. He reached out and poked Valentin, then squeezed his arm. Feeling Valentin's warmth, tears suddenly filled his eyes.

"I've been worrying about you every day, Valentin. I fear you will be a vegetable."

Hearing this, both Valentin and Ashley fell into silence.

Maggie glared at him. "How dare you? What are you talking about?"

Joseph pressed his lips, looked at Valentin longingly, and pointed at his eyes. "I'm indeed worried about you, Valentin. Can you find the dark circles under my eyes?"

Valentin and Joseph had always had a close relationship, and he could understand Joseph's concerns. He reached out to pat Joseph on the shoulder.

The weak couldn't stand other's comfort.

Joseph's mood had already calmed down.

Valentin patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, which made Joseph unable to hold his tears back and cry directly.

"But the dark circles don't affect my dashing face. Actually, Ashley is more worried about you than I am. She had been in the ward with you every day, hadn't had meals on time, and even hadn't left the ward."

How sensible and considerate he was! He even tried to help Valentin and Ashley develop their relationship.

Joseph found himself deserving of being Valentin's supporter.

When he spoke, he stared at Ashley all the time, as if he hadn't seen her for a long time and couldn't get enough of her.

"That's fine." Ashley glanced at his head, hoping that the injury would heal as soon as possible without leaving any sequelae.

"By the way, we suppressed the news that you were in a coma and didn't make it public." Ashley told him what had happened these days. "Joseph and Tom dealt with the business in the company, but there is a lot of paperwork that needs to be handled by you personally."

Valentin nodded.

"Fortunately, you woke up today. If you hadn't woken up, we wouldn't be able to hide your coma." Ashley's eyelashes trembled slightly. If he didn't wake up, Ashley wouldn't be able to bear it, and the tip of her nose turned sore at the thought.

Valentin saw her tearful eyes and felt extremely distressed.

He didn't want Ashley to suffer, so he held her hand tenderly and joked in a casual tone, "I'm not dead yet."

Hearing this, Ashley immediately reached out and covered his mouth. "Don't joke about it."

She was too sensitive about death now to take any outrageous jokes.

Valentin lowered his head and chuckled, pulling down her hand and covering her mouth. His voice was still hoarse but inexplicably pleasant. "You love me so much, Ashley."

Ashley glanced at him and lowered her sights at the sumptuous breakfast on the table.

Then, she pressed her red lips slightly and looked up at Valentin with tearful eyes.

"You were in a coma for seven days, and we passed our first anniversary.

"I told before that I'll tell you on our anniversary if I want to divorce you."
