Chapter 682: As long as You Wake Up

This sentence is undoubtedly a reassurance to Lorraine. It's excruciating to find that hope is only an
illusion in the end. Learning from Karl that Eunice has regained consciousness, though a moment, she
still feels encouraged.

Her good daughter has finally returned....

Lorraine turns around and sheds tears silently. To her, this news is more joyful than anything else.

Soon Karl and the others leave the ward to the office for a therapeutic schedule study. All the
instrument data connected to Eunice are observed in real time. Any fluctuations will display on the
monitor in the doctor's office.

The news soon reaches Ryan. Karl calls Ryan to tell him that Eunice has shown instant consciousness.
Then Ryan remains silent for two minutes.

Without saying anything, Karl gives him time to digest it.

After a long time, Ryan asks with a trembling voice, "Really?"

"Yes." Karl feels sad for him, who chokes back his excitement and speaks calmly. "I will not joke about
the patient."

On the other end of the phone, Ryan is standing on the top floor of the building. He looks into the
distant skyline from the French window. His entire body seems to be floating in the clouds. Not catching
anything and losing his balance, he takes half a step back and almost falls to the ground.

His muscles seem to have been disintegrated by strong sulfuric acid. Though feeble, he still feels the
adrenalin coursing through his veins. For a moment, before him is a vast expanse of whiteness. The
first thought that comes to him is to pick up the car keys and run out of the office.



"I'll go over now." His hoarse voice sounds like being polished by a stone.

"Okay."

After ending the call, he pushes open the door and strides out. The secretary and assistant see him
walking towards the elevator and can't help but remind him in confusion, "Mr. Ryan, Mr. Jack from New
York will come over later. You...."

Before he can finish, Ryan interrupts coldly, "Cancel."

The assistant is shocked. "What ... what?"

"Any problem?" Ryan's displeased gaze sweeps over, and the assistant shuts up immediately.

Now his harsh attitude is understandable. To him, whoever says anything is to stop him from seeing
Eunice, which is roughly equivalent to preventing Eunice from getting better.

The secretary is frightened by his fierce gaze. She immediately shuts her mouth and looks at the
numbers on the elevator. Anxious but helpless, she can only watch her boss leave.

At the end, Ryan takes the elevator and leaves.

The secretary and the assistant exchange glance with each other, full of helplessness.

The secretary says, "What should we do? Tell Mr. Jack that the meeting is canceled for an
emergency?"

The assistant shrugs and says, "I don't know. It feels like no matter what you say, he can't accept it. It's
time to test your professionalism."

"Are you still in the mood to be sarcastic?"



"Okay, I'll shut up."

...

Ryan drives to the hospital at a terrific speed. When he waits for the elevator at the underground
garage, his eyes glued to the decreasing numbers, he wishes he could grow wings and fly directly into
the ward.

However, when he arrives at the door of the ward, he suddenly stops.

He takes a few deep breaths and tries to adjust his mood in case he may do something irrational.

When he pushes open the door and enters, Lorraine is in the ward, so does Thomas. Judging from the
coat on him, he may just arrive.

Hearing the door open, they look at him and call him at the same time.

"Ryan...."

"Mr. Ryan...."

Ever since she saw how caring Ryan is to Eunice, Lorraine has already regarded him as 'son-in-law'.
So, she always calls him Ryan.

Ryan nods and looks at Eunice. She is still the same as before, lying in the same position and angle.
However, something is different.

What's the difference?

Probably she is more alive. He feels that she can sense his presence.



He has rushed all the way to see her. In the end, he walks slowly and carefully from the door to the
sickbed.

Ryan walks to the head of the bed and sits on a small chair, looking down at the pale face. His
expression is as calm as before, but the speed of his heartbeat has already soared to its peak.

It is as if he has been secretly chatting with her. She has been unconscious for so long, but now her
radiant smile appears in front of him.

Ryan is lost for words. His entire body freezes. Sitting on the chair, he gazes at her on the bed. Time
seems to have stopped.

Seeing this, Lorraine nudges Thomas’ arm and gestures for him to leave.

Thomas just arrives and wants to accompany his sister. However, when he thinks about what Ryan has
done recently, he suppresses his willfulness and goes out with Lorraine, leaving them alone.

The ward is so quiet that only the tick of humidifier and instrument can be heard. He looks at her for a
long time until his eyes feel hurt. And then he regains his senses.

He lowers his head and holds her hand that doesn't have an infusion and injection. When he feels the
coldness on the hand, he wishes he could make it warmer.

"I'm here."

He has never thought of what to say. Those words just come out of his mouth.

The moment he speaks, her deep eye sockets turn red. He doesn't know if she can hear it. Well,
maybe she does. Thinking in this way, he will feel better.



Staring at the pale and slender fingers, he thinks of what Karl has said to him that her finger moved. He
wishes he could hold it tighter, but is afraid that it would hurt her.

"Eunice, I miss you very much." He is so affectionate that every word comes from the depth of his soul.
His voice slips out of his mouth and disappears, leaving behind an indelible mark that burns his heart.

"I haven't punished you for making such a decision after expressing love to me. Wake up. I won't let
you off for the rest of my life. You're the first one who dares to play tricks on me."

"After saying you like me, you should hide in such a way. You are the boldest woman I have ever seen.
Don't blame me for binding you to my side when you wake up."

"I can't wait to hear your voice and see your smiling face. I know you must blame me. So, please get
better quickly. You can beat me, scold me, or take revenge on me, as you wish," he murmurs and
chokes on his sobs.
