As soon as this was remarked, Henry and Yvonne both got up from their chairs in shock.
Henry asked again to confirm, "What did you say? You said that Hayden's awake?" If one listened carefully, they could hear his trembling voice.
It was obvious that Henry was happy and excited when Elliot woke up.
Sue said hurriedly, "Yes, the young Mr. Lancaster has just opened his eyes. Dr. Tom is checking on him now."
Yvonne couldn't wait any longer. She rushed out of the door and ran towards Elliot's room.
Elliot was in a vegetative state because he saved her years ago.
She had always felt guilty for Elliot.
Now that Elliot was awake, she cared about him more than anyone else.
Henry saw Yvonne run out. He didn't stop her, but he raised his foot and followed her.
He knew why she ran so fast and he understood.
Although he was jealous, he knew clearly in his heart that it was impossible between her and Elliot.
Yvonne finally slowed down when she reached the door of Elliot’s room.
She looked at the wide-open door, clenched her fist, took a deep breath, and then she mustered the courage to step in.
As soon as she entered, she saw Elliot staring at the ceiling motionlessly with his eyes open as if he was absent-minded.
Dr. Tom stood beside him while holding a pen, and he seemed to be writing something.
Yvonne walked over lightly, looked at Elliot with teary eyes, and called his name in a broken voice, "Elliot...”
However, Elliot didn't seem to hear her and didn't respond.
If he hadn't opened his eyes, she would have thought that he wasn't awake yet.
Yvonne asked Dr. Tom quickly, "What's the matter?”
Henry came in at the same time and noticed that Elliot's situation wasn’t right. He looked at Dr. Tom, waiting for his explanation. 1
Dr. Tom put down his pen. "Well, Mr. Taylor just woke up, but his consciousness hasn't recovered yet.
However, he can still feel the outside world. He'll be able to respond to you when he regains his consciousness in a few hours."
After hearing the explanation, Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief, “That's good.”
She thought that Elliot was awake with only his eyes open and everything else was the same as when he was in a vegetative state.
"Sue," Henry turned to look at the door and called Sue who was coming outside with him.
Sue asked hurriedly, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
Henry looked at Elliot. "Get in touch with the rehabilitation team immediately. Once Hayden regains consciousness, start the rehabilitation slowly s o that he can move freely as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll do it now." Sue nodded and went to do it immediately.
Yvonne wiped the corner of her eyes. "That’s very thoughtful of you. I'm immersed in the thought of him waking up. I didn't think of hiring a physiotherapist for him." 1
Henry said, "He's my brother. Of course, I'll be more considerate of him."
Yvonne said with a smile, "Now that Elliot's awake, when will you disclose his identity to the public?"
Originally, Henry was ready to disclose that Elliot was the second son of the Lancaster family six years ago. H e even arranged the date of joining the genealogy, but Elliot was involved in an accident, causing the outside world to not know that there was a second son in the Lancaster family.
Henry replied, "No need to rush on that matter. We'll wait till he can control his body.”
Yvonne nodded. "That's true. With his current situation, even if he regains his consciousness, he can't get out of bed and it's not easy for him to go meet people outside."
Henry checked his watch and reminded her, "Let's go. We'll come back to see Hayden later. It's time for his massage."
Yvonne answered softly, looked at Elliot whose eyes were blankly open, and then followed Henry out.
