Chapter 177 Kate, Don’t Cry
Hearing George’s voice, Kate felt a warm sensation in her heart and smiled softly. “I’m fine,” she replied.
George sighed in relief before seriously reminding her, “Madam, make sure to take your bodyguards with you wherever you go. Things might not be safe lately.”
Kate nodded gently, “I understand.”
After hanging up the phone, she found herself staring at Eric’s handsome face again..
Ric… when will you wake up?
Kate’s fingers lightly traced over Eric’s face, her eyes reflecting a mix of sorrow and determination.
No matter what she would wait. She would wait for him to wake up and recover.
“Hmm?”
Kate suddenly froze, unable to believe her eyes. She thought she had just seen Eric’s finger move.
Kate felt a surge of excitement and kept her eyes fixed on Eric’s hand. Within two minutes, she saw his fingers move again.
“Ric
Kate called out in excitement, gently holding Eric’s hand. “Ric, can you hear my voice? Please, wake up!”
Her sudden shout caught Lucas’s attention. He looked over to see Kate clutching Eric’s hand, repeatedly calling his name.
Eric’s fingers moved a third time, and his vital signs began to fluctuate.
“Ric, open your eyes and look at me, please?”
Kate’s palms were sweating as she watched Eric with intense anticipation and excitement.
Eric’s fingers twitched slightly, and then his eyelashes started to flutter.
Kate forgot to breathe, staring unblinkingly at Eric. Finally, she saw Eric, who had been unconscious for two days, slowly open his eyes.
Doctor! Doctor! Ric is awake!”
Kate joyfully called out. Lucas immediately started pressing the call button frantically and shouting, “Where’s the doctor? Get over here!”
Holding Eric’s hand tightly, Kate’s voice trembled with excitement. “Ric, how do you feel? Are you

in pain? Are you hungry? Do you want some water?”
Eric’s eyes, initially unfocused, gradually fixed on Kate’s anxious face, reflecting her deep concern. He looked slightly bewildered.
The doctor rushed in, and Kate stepped aside. After examining Eric, Kate asked anxiously, “Doctor, is he okay?”
The doctor shook his head. “Waking up is a good start. He should keep improving.”
Finished
Kate finally exhaled in relief. She sat back down by Eric’s bed, watching him closely. “Ric, are you feeling any discomfort?”
Eric stared at her, his mind a bit muddled. Seeing the tears in Kate’s eyes, he raised his hand to touch her face and, with some difficulty, said, “Kate, don’t cry.”
Kate barely held back her tears, smiling. “Alright, I won’t cry.”
She quickly fetched a cup of warm water and carefully used a cotton swab to moisten Eric’s dry lips, then fed him a few sips with a spoon.
After his throat was moistened, Eric’s voice sounded less hoarse, and his foggy mind gradually cleared.
“Boss!”
Lucas called out excitedly to Eric. If he weren’t unable to get out of bed, he would have rushed to Eric’s side.
“Mmm, Eric responded softly, his gaze never leaving Kate.
He instinctively grasped the hem of her clothing.
Kate looked at Eric intently and asked gently, “Ric, how are you feeling now?”
