He was so very afraid.
Suddenly, he realized that there was nothing the world could offer that could replace one Angeline Severe.
He would give his riches if that guaranteed a life of bliss for her.
He would give his life if that meant she would make it out of this alive.
As long as she woke, every fight they would have from that moment onwards would be worth it.
Seconds felt like minutes felt like hours as time slowly trickled by like sand in an hourglass.
Jay Ares felt as if an entire century had passed.
Only then did the doors of the Intensive Care Unit opened. Jay Ares took a big step forward to meet the doctor. "How is she?" He asked, both looking forward and afraid of the doctor's evaluation.
"The patient is no longer in life-threatening danger, M r. President."
Hearing him, Jay Ares' frightful expression turned relaxed into a smile.
However, the doctor continued to report, "There are signs of internal bleeding in the patient’s abdomen,
which may result in possible infertility. The patient herself had a weak body, which would therefore explain why she fainted for such a long period of time despite not suffering any major injuries."
Jay Ares’ expression grew stern as he took the doctor's advice to heart.
"The patient needs sufficient rest, please make sure she does not overexert herself. She is to avoid negative emotions to prevent the case of Liver Qi Stagnation."
Jay Ares nodded without another word.
His heart sunk lower at every following word. Angeline had been suffering all these years.
She would always look at the world with mirthful optimism, yet secretly nurture and deal with her own wounds in the dark.
