Chapter 128
Vidonia had barely walked when her stomach suddenly started growling.
It was already 2 p.m. – definitely time to grab some lunch.
Samson chuckled, reached out, and playfully ruffled her hair, “Guess we should get some food in you first.”
Vidonia pouted and hung her head low, “Right.”
She was feeling down and didn’t even realize how intimate the gesture was
The hospital was still bustling, a constant stream of people coming and going
Dusk was slowly creeping in. The horizon was ablaze with the glow of the setting sun..
But inside the VIP hospital room, the tension was thick
Elgin had a grim expression, “Why hasn’t she woken up yet? Wasn’t the anesthesia supposed to wear off by the afternoon?”
It was already 6 o’clock, and there was no sign of Letitia snapping out of it!
“Mr. Ramirez, please calm down. Let me check… The doctor held his breath and meticulously examined Letitia’s condition.
The results showed that everything was totally normal.
Elgin, looking none too pleased, stood by, scrutinizing every move the doctor made.
“Mr. Ramirez, it might be that Mrs. Ramirez doesn’t want to wake up,” the doctor finally said. “She might be avoiding something in the real world she can’t accept or face, so her subconscious chooses to bail, to just keep sleeping.”
Elgin, hands clasped behind his back, asked, “So what’s the fix?”
“Um… we wait a bit more, or maybe try to shake her up with something she deeply cares about, to signal to her that it’s time to wake up from this dream.”
Elgin, clearly impatient, just nodded and waved everyone out
The room fell silent again.
The last rays of the sun streamed through the window, casting golden light on the floor.
It almost seemed peacefully timeless.
Letitia lay there with her eyes closed, deeply unconscious, not even a flutter of her eyelids, devoid of life. Just lying there in silence.
“Are you punishing me in your own way?” Elgin asked. “Is that it? I said I’d love you in my way, are you doing the same? Letitia, you’re so petty and vengeful.”
Elgin slowly approached the bedside and gently swept her hair from her forehead.
Not willing to wake up? Can’t deal with the fact that the child is gone? But she has to wake up eventually.
“You can run but you can’t hide, Elgin whispered close to her ear, “Letitia, if you don’t wake up now, I’ll start with the people closest to you… one by one.”
Her eyes twitched slightly.
It worked. She always did seem to prefer learning things the hard way.
To get her to wake up faster, Elgin continued, “Open your eyes, Letitia, don’t sleep any longer.”
“Sooner or later, you have to face reality.”
“I told you, this is the beginning, not the end.”
“The future… it’s only going to get better, you know?”
Elgin repeated over and over, “You can’t escape me, and you definitely can’t hide from me.”
Letitia just felt annoyed. His deep, magnetic voice kept speaking right into her ear, every word crystal clear. She didn’t want to wake up.
So cold, so dark, she felt like she was sinking in an endless black hole.
There was light ahead, but she didn’t want to go towards it.
For Letita, being alive was just too exhausting. What had she done wrong to deserve this….
“Letitia wake up. I command you to wake up now.”
will staying asleep solve anything?
