"We can have our wedding after she wakes up, right?"
After listening to Coralie's request, Yohan asked.
She couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
"Right?" repeated Yohan, obviously irked.
It seemed that he did not expect that she would request to postpone their wedding because of Hera.
"Only after she recovers..."
He interjected, "Recover how?"
Yohan was bombarding Coralie with questions.
"After she wakes up and until she can walk normally..."
She knew that Yohan might not end this conversation if she didn't make herself as clear and specific as possible.
"Ok."
Yohan responded after keeping silent for a moment.
However, he seemed to have a plan in his mind.
Coralie thought that Yohan was not going to make any decision before Hera's condition got any better.
The next afternoon, when Coralie was accompanying Hera in the ward, more than 20 domestic and foreign specialists came in. They began to study and discuss Hera's case notes.
Yohan had brought in so many specialists and consultants for Hera!
The specialists were all in the room; Coralie had nowhere to sit. Eventually, she was pushed out of the room.
Yohan stood by the door with her.
"Why did you get so many people to come here?"
It was out of Coralie's expectation. Although she didn't know the background of those specialists, judging from their age and charisma, they were definitely not ordinary persons.
"There will be a way to cure Auntie Hera with so many people's help."
Yohan seemed to have turned in a good mood looking at the specialists, who were examining Hera inside.
"Thank you."
Although Yohan's intention was that they could have their wedding as soon as possible, he was still helping Coralie in a way.
Of course, she had to thank him.
......
After examining Hera, the specialists asked for the operation details from the hospital record team, as well as other information.
Coralie felt that Hera should be able to wake up soon with so many specialists around.
On the third day, Coralie decided to buy some fruits for them as a way to express her gratitude. When she arrived at the conference room, the door was half-closed. She heard them arguing...
"This medicine is still in the developmental stage. There's no solid evidence proving that it won't have any side effects after using it. It can't be used!" a man shouted across the room.
Another lady rebutted, "But this is the only way to make the patient wake up as soon as possible!"
"I don't agree." The man was persistent.
"You don't agree? Do you have any other ideas then? If the patient does not wake up any sooner, we will all lose our job!"
Coralie stood by the door, listening to the arguments between the experts. She withdrew her hand, which was on the doorknob, standing there dumbfounded.
It turned out that Yohan had been putting pressure on those experts. Were those specialists going to resort to using Hera as a test subject?
After pondering for a while, she pushed the door open and entered the conference room. "You can't use my mother as a test subject!"
Those specialists were having a heated discussion. As soon as Coralie came in, their expressions changed as a heavy silence fell onto the room.
