1/2 “Do be careful on the way home. Call me if anything happens. I’ll be returning to Jipsburg soon,” Alexander said.
He hadn’t been feeling much before Joe arrived, and now that Joe was here, he felt
rather weak.
Joe nodded in response.
They finished the paperwork needed for the transfer in a heartbeat. Although Joe had taken Skylar away, Alexander and Harry did not leave the hospital.
Rather, they remained in the hospital to get IV drips. They had been holding on for dear life just now. After Joe left, they broke down.
Harry looked at Skylar, who was lying in a hospital bed. He muttered, “Skye will be alright when she gets back to Jipsburg, right? Jipsburg is filled with talented people. They’ll find a way to wake her up. They definitely will.”
“Right, nothing will happen to Skylar. She’s a lucky person,” said Alexander resolutely while nodding feebly.
They said nothing more after that.
Both were exhausted, but they couldn’t sleep. The second they closed their eyes, Skylar’s collapse replayed before their eyes, and their hearts raced.
The ambulance cruised through the streets swiftly.
Joe’s eyes fell on Skylar, who was still unconscious. He pushed a few strands of hair out of her face.
Joe murmured, “Skylar, please wake up soon.”
Skylar would’ve been irked and started bantering with him, but she remained still. She did not react to his words as though deaf to the world.
Joe grasped her hand. It was as though he was holding on to a block of ice. He immediately tightened his grip around her palm, hoping that he’d eventually warm
her up.
However, it was all for naught. His palm was scorching. However, it wasn’t enough to warm her.
Joe’s expression froze.

He pursed his lips. Joe said in a tone bordering on threatening, “You have to wake up, alright?”
Skylar remained motionless. She lay on the stretcher like a broken doll.
Although Joe’s body had begun to prickle with numbness, he remained bent over, staring at Skylar. It was as though he’d been frozen into his position.
They finally arrived at Jipsburg Hospital, where Skylar was relocated into a hospital room. Only then did Joe come to his senses,
All the specialists began checking over her. They labored through the night.
In the end, they merely hooked Skylar onto an IV drip. Nothing else happened. They needed to analyze a bunch of medical reports before they could find out the exact reason for her collapse.
Paul somberly told Joe, “Mr. Martin, you should return home to rest first. A caretaker will stay here to watch over Mrs. Martin. She’ll call you the second Mrs. Martin wakes up.
It was five in the morning. He’d been up all night.
“There’s no need for that. You should go home first. I’ll rest here,” Joe stated.
Paul glanced at the extra bed beside Skylar’s. That would work too.
“In that case, I’ll buy some breakfast for you. Some of the shops should be open at this hour,” Paul said.
Joe hummed in agreement.
Before leaving the room, Paul cast a worried glance at Skylar. Accidents were unpredictable, striking without warning. Just yesterday, she had been perfectly healthy. Now, she lay unconscious, her life hanging in the balance.
Three days later, the doctors came up with a conclusion.
“Mr. Martin, you should prepare yourself for this news. The patient might remain in a vegetative state for the rest of her life.”
