When Lornell woke up in the hospital room, he didn’t know how he had passed out. It seemed like it was during Harley’s humming of a tune.
“You finally woke up,” a familiar voice sounded in his ear.
Lornell looked at the woman by the hospital bed, who was his mother.
“You were lucky this time with the explosion. You didn’t suffer any major injuries and you can be discharged from the hospital after a week. I will send some of the people who usually take care of you to stay at the hospital to look after you. If you need anything, you can also ask the people here for help.”
The woman spoke in a formulaic tone, and Lornell was already familiar with this way of speaking from women.
“Does Father know about the explosion and my hospitalization?”
Lornell asked.
“He knows. We informed him as soon as it happened, but he’s not in Emerald City right now. He’s attending a meeting in another city and probably won’t be back to see you for another two days,” the woman said, looking at Lornell’s young and expressionless face.
He was her son, but she couldn’t love him completely because he was the heir of the Quentin family.
His existence was a constant reminder that her only purpose was to give birth to this child for the
Quentin family.
“Okay, I have to go now. Rest well,” she said, her beautiful and noble face showing only indifference.
Lornell didn’t say anything, just watched his mother leave the hospital room without any reluctance. In his mind, he recalled the scene of the Hart family of three at the restaurant in the amusement park.
Harley’s mother was not as beautiful as his own mother, and she even had a limp, but she exuded a gentle aura, with a warm smile on her face. She would hug and kiss the little one, and gently wipe the corners of his mouth and tidy his hair…
These were things he had never felt from his own mother.
She and he were like two completely different worlds!
And he had already become accustomed to his mother’s cold treatment, so there was nothing to worry about.
However, what about the little one? How is she doing? Lornell’s brow furrowed involuntarily. Although he didn’t want to admit it, he understood that he cared about Harley’s life and death.
Since he can still live well, that little guy must also be alive!
At that moment, there was a light knock on the door of the hospital room, and then someone came in.
The people who came in, besides the doctors and nurses, were those who had been with him since he was born and stayed by his side.
In the Quentin family, once a servant pledges loyalty to their master, they will serve that master for their entire life, unless the master passes away. Only then can the servant choose a new master.
And as long as he doesn’t die young, these people who follow him will only have him as their master for their entire lives.
So, the servants of the Quentin family are also particularly loyal to their masters.
After the doctor finished examining Lornell and gave some instructions, he left the room. The ones who stayed behind to take care of Lornell were his usual followers who often accompanied him.
“How long have I been sleeping?” Lornell asked.
“Young master was rescued six hours after the explosion and has been unconscious for a day,” the subordinate replied.
“Then…” He hesitated for a moment, but couldn’t help asking,
“What about the little girl who was rescued with me? How is she?”
Harley was lying on top of him at the time, so she should have been rescued with him.
“Young master is referring to Miss Hart from the Hart family, right?” the subordinate asked.
“Yes, her.”
“Miss Hart was sent to the hospital by the Hart family when she was rescued. I don’t know any other details,” the subordinate said.
Lornell breathed a sigh of relief. Since she was rescued and sent to the hospital by the Hart family, she should be okay.
He could visit her after he was discharged from the hospital, and if she still wanted to know his name, he could tell her!
However, what Lornell didn’t know was that Harley was currently lying in the ICU with a tube in her nose, unconscious.
Valda and Brian stood outside the IUC ward, separated by a transparent glass wall. Apart from anxiety, worry, and pain, there seemed to be no other expression on their faces.
Since the incident, Valda has been crying constantly. When the explosion occurred, both she and Brian were relatively lucky. Although they were affected by the blast, they only suffered minor injuries and were not seriously hurt. However, their daughter was directly buried by the building in the restaurant.
At that time, she was almost in despair and ran towards her daughter’s location, hoping to find her.
But… there are so many stones and pillars that she doesn’t even know about, and they cannot be moved by human strength.
It’s possible that incorrect handling could actually cause harm to the person trapped inside!
At that time, every minute and every second was a torment for her. Time passed slowly, making each day feel like a year. That’s just how it was.
In the end, it was the vague humming of a tune by their daughter that led them to find her!
I thought that although my daughter had bled a little, her external injuries didn’t seem serious, so maybe the situation was still okay. But now, the child is in a coma, and the doctor said that if she doesn’t wake up within 72 hours, the situation will become dangerous.
“It’s all my fault, it’s all because of me. I shouldn’t have agreed to let Harley go to the amusement park!” Valda blamed herself, tears streaming down her face.
“It’s not your fault, Valda. Nobody could have predicted something like this,” Brian comforted. “If you insist on blaming yourself, then isn’t it my fault even more? I promised to protect you and Harley, but I didn’t do a good job of it!”
Valda looked at her husband with teary eyes and asked, “Brian, can Harley wake up? If she doesn’t wake up within 72 hours, what will happen to her?”
She couldn’t bring herself to say the words “vegetative state” out loud, afraid that by doing so, it would become a reality.
She couldn’t even imagine what would happen if Harley, who was so lively, could never open her eyes again, never call out for her mother, and could only lie in bed like this forever.
“Don’t worry, she is our child. Even if she doesn’t wake up within 72 hours, I will definitely find the best doctor to treat her,” Brian reassured Valda as he hugged her.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex–Convict!
He knows how devastated his wife is right now, and he cannot let Valda lose all hope under any circumstances!
“Alright, you go rest for a bit. If you don’t take a good rest, how can you stay strong until Harley wakes up?” Brian said as he wiped away Valda’s tears.
Valda shook her head and said, “I can’t rest at all. Every time l close my eyes, I see that explosion.”
The sound of the explosion lingers in my ears.
Brian lowered his gaze and held the person in his arms tighter. “Valda, no matter what difficulties we may face in the future, we will face them together, okay? You must never leave me behind, do you understand?”
Valda’s body stiffened slightly, sensing that Brian’s body was trembling at the moment.
She closed her eyes, and the tears that had stopped started to flow again.
She knew what he was worried about. This man loves her so much that he worries a lot. He worries not only about their daughter but also about her!

For her, this explosion was unbearable pain. But for him, it was no different.
Valda raised her hand and slowly wrapped it around Brian, reciprocating the love of this man who loved her deeply. “Brian, I will never abandon you! No matter what happens!”
She will persevere not just for Harley, but also for Brian!
Harley’s incident has become widely known among the major families in Emerald City, including the
Reed, Stephenson, Weiss, Barlow, and Gregory families, who are all trying to find ways to help him.
The current situation calls for waiting, we must wait for 72 hours to see how things develop.
Tina was crying uncontrollably because this amusement park was the one she had mentioned to
Harley before!
The four children of the Reed family, Veronica, Nelson, and Trista, have all visited Harley in the hospital. However, the adults have not told them that the first 72 hours are crucial in determining whether Harley will wake up or not.
So the children all thought that Harley would eventually wake up.
Chandler, who accompanied Tina, learned that if Harley does not wake up within 72 hours, the chances of becoming a vegetable will greatly increase.
Maybe I’ll never wake up in this lifetime.
However, he didn’t dare to mention a word of it to Tina.
Now Tina is already feeling enough self–blame. If she were to find out the truth, who knows what would happen!
At this moment, even Chandler who usually doesn’t like to meddle in other people’s affairs, is desperately hoping that Harley can wake up.
If Harley doesn’t wake up, Tina might feel guilty for the rest of her life!
However… the situation with Harley is indeed tricky!
Upon this realization, after leaving the hospital, Chandler did not accompany Tina back to the
Stephenson family. Instead, he rode in a car and arrived at another hospital.
This hospital may not have a prominent reputation, but those who are able to enter it are all elites in the medical field.
But only a very small number of people know that the owner behind this hospital is the Quentin family!
At this moment, Lornell is boredly watching the news on the hospital TV screen while lying in his sickbed.
