The originally cheerful Wilson's residence fell into a gloomy atmosphere. No one could see a smile on anyone's face.
Meanwhile, the aura around Trevon was extremely depressing. Apart from Trevon, Jasper was also the same. Jasper was originally a man of few words, but now, he barely said anything all day. With a cold face, he walked in and out without saying a word. Ruby quietly accompanied him.
When he said nothing, she tried to persuade him to speak, hoping he would release some of his emotions. She was afraid that he would collapse from holding it in.
The maids in the Wilson's residence also did not dare to breathe loudly and worked with extreme focus.
Mary went to see Sophia early in the morning. After seeing Sophia, Mary wiped her tears and carried her bag to the Wilson family's cemetery. Rachel did not stop her. When Gage was around, Mary could still discuss and chat with Gage.
Now that only Mary was left, she looked lonely. Mary was also used to chatting with Theo and Constance. Mary did not feel pressured when talking to their tombstones. She could say anything.
Rachel and Caleb let Mary be. They only instructed the driver to send Mary over and pick her up.
After dinner, a group of people walked into the Wilson's residence. They were led by Rose and Edward, followed by Chris, Leia, and Stella.
Rachel was downstairs with Caleb. When she saw so many people coming in, she knew why they were there. She stood up and picked up a blanket to cover Caleb's legs. She went to welcome them and said, "Natalie and Trevon are upstairs. You guys can go up."
Rose nodded. She wasn't as playful and lively as usual. "Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, I'll go up and have a look."
Rachel nodded, and the group went upstairs. At this moment, everyone forgot to exchange pleasantries and only nodded in greeting.
Rose stood at Sophia's door and knocked three times softly. After knocking three times, Rose did not knock again. She just waited quietly at the door. After a while, the door was opened. It was Natalie in her pajamas.
Seeing the group of people standing outside the door, Natalie's heart warmed. She was touched. She turned sideways, and Rose walked over to hug Natalie.
Natalie hugged her back. "I'm fine."
Rose knew Natalie wasn't okay, but she didn't expose Natalie. On the way here, Edward had told Rose not to say too much when she saw Sophia. At this moment, their mood was the worst. Many emotions were suppressed.
Rose remembered. She didn't say anything and just gave Natalie a comforting hug. Stella also hugged Natalie.
Leia's short wolf cut hair had grown long. Her hair was now wavy and tied into a braid. Chris walked in front. Leia did not hug Natalie. She had always appeared reserved. She only walked over and patted Natalie's shoulder.
There was no need to say anything.
Natalie pulled out from the arms of Rose and Stella. She forced a smile and tried to tell them that she was okay.
Edward didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say either. It seemed inappropriate to say anything. He walked to Trevon's side and patted his shoulder. Under such an atmosphere, it was inappropriate to say anything.
Trevon did not stand up. Chris also patted his shoulder. Then, he bent down and took the examination instrument from his pocket. He opened Sophia's eyelids. Then, he used the stethoscope. He narrowed his eyes. All the indicators were good.
Then, there was only one outcome, which was what Trevon had said to him on the phone. Sophia was agitated and did not want to wake up. There were some things that she could not accept, so she chose to escape.
Edward did not ask what happened. He just stared at Sophia's scarred face. His heart ached. His good-looking eyebrows were knitted together. He thought that if his daughter became this way, he might break down, too.
At this moment, he admired Trevon's calmness. Perhaps Trevon was also breaking down inwardly. Edward thought inwardly and asked Chris how it was.
Trevon did not seem to care about Chris's answer. After a night, he had already accepted the worst-case scenario. As long as Sophia was still alive, he could accept it even if she had to lie in bed for the rest of her life. As long as she was still alive, there would be a day when she would wake up.
He just hoped that Sophia would not make him wait too long. He hoped that she would wake up while he was still alive.
Chris did not dare to confirm the exact time Sophia would wake up. He was afraid of giving his friend hope and disappointment, so he only said in an affirmative tone, "Sophia will wake up. Once the knot in her heart is resolved, she will wake up. Talk to her more often and bring her round."
Trevon's expression did not change. He nodded expressionlessly as if he had already expected this outcome. Many doctors had said this to him when they were overseas.
He knew that there was a knot in Sophia's heart. She isolated herself because she could not accept some things.
All indicators of Sophia's test results were good, but she had been in a coma and could not wake up. No matter how Trevon chatted with Sophia, her eyes remained closed.
She had completely isolated herself from the external environment.
They stayed in the room for a while before leaving.
Natalie sent them downstairs. As soon as they came downstairs, they met Jasper and Ruby, who had just returned from outside. Jasper nodded politely and exchanged pleasantries. His lips were also tightly pursed as if they were glued together and could not be opened.
