Addy had been in a coma for two days, so her voice became very hoarse when she spoke again. "Simon..."
Just now, the nurse called him, saying that she might wake up soon. A series of examinations showed that her vital signs and other monitored parameters all appeared normal. Therefore, as the nurse came in, she unplugged the breathing machine.
Simon frowned and said seriously in a deep voice, "Addy, don't do such a stupid thing anymore!"
The night before yesterday, when he waited for the green light in his car on his way home, a car accident happened at the entrance of the hotel behind him. When he saw the familiar cake box, his heart sank.
Sure enough, when he ran over, he saw Addy lying in a pool of blood.
The panic-stricken driver kept screaming that he had done nothing wrong. As he was driving, she suddenly rushed to the middle of the road, trying to commit suicide.
After Simon told her everything, Addy burst out crying, saying that she would not live without him. At that time, Simon did not take it seriously, thinking that she did not mean what she said. But to his surprise, she would kill herself.
As soon as the ambulance arrived, he immediately got on it and went to the hospital.
The car crushed many of her bones and rubbed her skin, but her most serious injury was in her chest: the crash wounded her heart and caused cardiac tamponade. For a time, she was in shock due to severe blood loss. She was on the verge of death! To save her, Simon stayed in the operating room for several hours. Then, she was sent to the ICU for observation. That was the reason why he did not go back that night.
Addy had been in a coma. The next day in the morning, an emergency happened to Addy. When the nurse could not reach him on his phone, she called Addy's phone, which he temporarily kept. Then, he rushed back to the hospital and gave her the second emergency treatment.
He returned home at night. When he saw that no light was coming from his department's window, he knew Emily had not yet returned. So, he just sat in the car waiting for her. Then he saw Emily and Boyd getting out of the car...
Addy, still in a confused state of mind, stared at him with her almond eyes. Simon was so close to her that she could simply reach out and touch him. As she saw the concern in his eyes, she asked, "Simon, were you worried about me when I was in a coma?"
"Hum." Simon nodded.
Addy asked with an uncertain tone, "You were worried about me. Does it mean that you still care about me in your heart?"
"Addy, as your physician-in-charge who has rescued you, I certainly care about you!" Simon's voice was low. "In private, I also worry about you because you're my friend, and you saved my life. Do you understand?"
Once in Newley City, he was held hostage by some hooligans, and it was Addy who called the police regardless of danger and saved him.
For a moment, she was distracted by memories of the past that flashed quickly across her mind. She smiled with relief. "I understand."
"Simon, I'm sorry. You're right. I let myself fall into despair and did such a stupid thing! But you can rest assured because I won't do it again. In fact, from the moment I just opened my eyes, I suddenly felt that I was so stupid to commit suicide! Fortunately, you saved me!"
"After returning from abroad, I've misunderstood you, thinking that we might still be together. That's why I could not let go of you and wanted to kill myself that night... Perhaps because I've experienced death, gains and losses are no longer that important in my eyes. Now I can accept the fact that our fate is over. In fact, it's a good change for me. I still have a few decades of life to live. How can I give up my life easily like this?!"
At this time, Addy smiled, without tears in her almond-shaped eyes. It seemed that she had found new meanings of her life, and every word from her sounded sincere. "I'm sorry. My stupid action bothered you so much. From now on, I will be the brave woman who can put down the past and go ahead. Congratulations!"
Simon was stunned, but he felt more gratified.
He was pleased about such a happy ending. After all, they had known each other since they were fifteen years old. She had done many things for him and saved his life, so he did not want her to become a resentful woman who was obsessed with him.
