"Mom!" Anya cried out and burst into tears.
No wonder Lorie had responded to her this time. She just told her everything that Lorie would be worried about, including getting divorced, falling out with Phil and cutting the wrist to kill herself, blah blah.
Lorie worried about her and cared about her even when she was lying on bed.
Dr. Choffard once told her that Lorie had a strong desire of living but he didn't figure out why she didn't regain consciousness yet.
It seemed that she was the only reason for Lorie to seek to live on!
She was worried about her and she tried hard to live on.
Thinking of it, Anya felt sad and heart-wrenched. She cried her eyes out and almost went out of breath.
Arthur held her to sit down on the chair and bent over to examine the situation of Lorie.
"Madam Willigen, Anya is in difficult times now. Wake up to show her love and give her some life suggestions. Only you can help her get over it." said Arthur.
"Anya needs you. Without you, she won't be happy in the rest of her life."
This was the best he could do to stimulate Lorie. Surprisingly, Lorie not only moved her hand, but tried to open her eyes and talk as well. Sadly, she had been lying on bed for too long and she had lost all the somatic functions. So, she couldn't do it for the time being.
But Arthur was pleased. He held her hand softly to comfort her, "Take your time, Madam Willigen. No rush. It takes time to recover."
Lorie had calmed down a bit but Anya just stood aside with tears streaming down her cheeks.
Arthur left them alone and went out of the ward.
"Mom, I'll be good and listen to you as long as you wake up." said Anya, choking with sobs. Arthur heard her promise to Lorie while he was leaving.
Arthur bore it in mind and he also believed that Anya would listen to Lorie on everything. So, it was very important for Phil to build a good relationship with Lorie after she woke up.
Thinking of it, Arthur went for Phil.
Phil and Anya were at the same hospital owned by Arthur, but they were in different buildings. Anya was in the rehabilitation section.
He was having an intravenous drip and resting on the bed with his eyes closed.
Arthur sat down beside him, "It seems that Lorie will surely wake up some day. She's worried about Anya very much."
"That's great." said Phil, peacefully.
Arthur thought Phil had been down and gloomy since he fell out with Anya. He used to be the outgoing one among them but now he was blue and beat.
Arthur spoke out his concern, "You said Anya was going to study abroad, right? Lorie has shown the sign of recovering and I think she will stay for her."
Phil opened his eyes and closed them again. He simply said with his eyes closed, "Do me a favor. Talk with her or tell Jean and the girls to convince her. She should go study abroad for her future."
"Why did you keep her in the country then?" said Arthur impatiently.
