It had been two weeks since the Kyle family returned to New York.
Two weeks passed as quickly as a blink of an eye. Just like that, there was only a week left before the New Year.
In the past, during this period, every family member of the Kyle family would return to Chatterton Town and celebrate together with their friends back home.
However, due to Jayden's condition, no one in the Kyle family mentioned about going back to Chatterton Town for celebrations. Even Mia, who lived in Chatterton Town, came to New York with her son, Levi.
On this day, Karen Joy got up as early as she did since she returned to New York. She went to the hospital early to take care of Jayden. "Brother, I'm here."
Every time she stepped into the ward, she would say this. She didn't mind if Jayden could hear her or not, but she would assume that he was awake and that he could hear it anyway.
Karen Joy put down her backpack, removed the old flowers from the vase, and placed some new flowers into the vase. "Brother, I brought some fresh red carnations for you today."
Red carnations represented health and longevity, and it also symbolized family affection. Thus, Karen Joy bought this flower routinely and placed them in Jayden's ward.
She was very adamant in ensuring that Jayden knew her and the family's affection and care. She hoped that their love could help wake him up.
It felt kind of odd too. Jayden's health had always been good, and the doctors even said that he was recovering very well, but there was no sign of him waking from his coma yet.
"Brother, I heard that Rovio was giving out the year-end bonuses yesterday. The outstanding managers all received new houses, cars, or company shares. I secretly enquired about yours and I was shocked by your performance. Dad has transferred all the shares of the companies that you're managing to your name. I'm sure this must be because of your commitment and hard work!" "Of course, I understand Dad's intentions too. He doesn't want you to be to get comfortable and slack off. He transferred the shares of these companies to you because he hopes that you can get better soon and share some workload with him. These days, when you are sick in bed, Dad is much busier. As you can see, you're actually his right-hand man."
"Brother, two days ago, Little Precious' teacher sent a message to us and said that he completed another grade in advance, again. It seems that Julien will have to skip a grade next semester. We are used to him skipping grades, but there is a girl who sent him flowers and said that she likes him. He is not yet nine years old but he has girls pursuing him! Wow, don't you think the children of the Kyle family are doing quite well?"
Karen Joy would update Jayden on such trivial matters every day. When she mentioned stories about Little Precious, she sounded very proud of him.
She had such an adorable, sensible, and smart little brother. Karen Joy felt pride and joy swelling within her.
If she had known that her Julien would turn out to be this considerate, kind, and sweet, she would have asked her parents to give birth to more younger siblings in the past.
Karen Joy spoke a lot, but she had never gotten Jayden's response. She was disappointed, but she never gave up. "Brother, if you think I'm annoying, then you could wake up and say it to me. If not, I'll stay by your side and disturb you every day."
Perhaps, this was life. When Jayden was by her side and cared deeply for her in the past, Karen Joy wasn't happy about it. Now that Jayden was in a coma and couldn't talk at all, she came here to see him and yearned for his care.
"Miss..." Blake, who had always been very sensible, suddenly rushed into the room. His anxious eyes fell on Karen Joy.
"What's wrong?" Blake had always been calm. His anxiousness made Karen Joy feel uneasy, but she didn't want to think negatively.
