Chapter 701: She Will Wake Up Soon

It is just a slight movement, but Ryan notices it.

Ryan feels as if someone has punched him in the chest. He stands up and looks at the monitor.
Indeed, one of the values fluctuates greatly. Just as he is about to raise his hand and press the button,
the doctors outside the door rush in as fast as they can.

"Family member, please step aside. We need to take a look at the patient's brain wave!"

The doctors only have the patient in mind, so they push Ryan outside the little circle they form around
Eunice, who is lying in the bed. The nurses carefully collect all the data.

"Look! Did she move again?" Someone lets out a loud shout. Everyone looks over, and Ryan finally
finds a corner where he can see Eunice's white little face.

In the ward, everyone slows down his breath, afraid of missing the moment. As all of them are holding
their breaths and watching attentively, Eunice, who just moved, is motionless again.

Five minutes later, everyone is still waiting.

Ten minutes later, the person in the hospital bed still doesn't move at all.

They wait for nothing. One of the doctors asks doubtfully, "Are you sure you saw it?"

The one who should answer the question gets uncertain. After all, the movement was hard to catch.
So, he doesn't know for sure....

Just then, Eunice, whose head is rested on the pillow, blinks again. Technically, it is more like a
nervous twitch.

This time, everyone sees it, even Ryan, who is standing at the outermost side.



Obviously, it's not an illusion.

Everyone is shocked and delighted, doing his part to examine Eunice.

On the other side, Karl just wraps up an operation of a leader. Before he can take a rest, he is notified
of Eunice's situation.

He rushes over for more information. Told about her second eye movement, he heaves a sigh of relief.
"This is a good sign. Doctor Jones, have you gotten the micro-electric stimulator I asked?"

"Yes. It's right next door!"

"Set up the instrument. We will use it on her now."

"Now?"

"Yes," Karl confirms the arrangement to everyone present. "Are you certain the data would support
this?"

"Yes."

"Then let's begin our preparations."

After explaining the matters, Karl takes the almost petrified Ryan out of the ward, saying, "We will
perform a small operation on her. You can't be in there. Wait here for a while. It will only take half an
hour."

"I ... can't watch?"

"No," Karl refuses him without the slightest hesitation. "Not only can't you help, but you may slow us
down. We can't take any risks while operating."



Although Ryan has ants in his pants, he has to compromise. He would not force Karl to agree for the
safety of Eunice.

"Alright," he agrees and nods, forcing each word, "I'll just wait here."

Karl didn't expect this man to come to terms with his request so quickly, thinking that more persuasion
may be needed. So, he is a little surprised.

Perhaps it takes a true heart to care for someone without putting oneself first.

Karl pats Ryan's shoulder and says, "Don't worry. I will try my best to cure her."

Ryan only nods. He can't speak tortured by the strong emotions surging within him.

All the medical staff enters the ward with a small white instrument. It should be the aforesaid stimulator.

Neither Lorraine nor Thomas is in the hospital today. Thomas is needed at his school, and it is getting
late, so Ryan does not ask them to return to the hospital but tells the driver to pick them up at home
tomorrow.

He didn't expect Eunice to make a movement today, and he doesn't have the mood to notify her family.
Sitting on the bench outside the ward, he only hopes she would wake up with no accidents.

Time slows down as he waits sitting in silence. He is the only one in the corridor of the first floor.

Ryan stares at the door of Eunice's ward the whole time. The glass on the door is covered, so he
cannot see what is going on in the room, but he still tries to, as if doing so would bring him consolation.

He can have a cup of coffee for half an hour. He never thought it could be so long, as if half a year
passed.



He feels he is counting seconds, and every one of them is torture.

His body stiffens, his elbows on his knees, his hands crossed against his forehead. As an atheist, he is
even begging God for a miracle.

He has been watching Eunice lying on the bed for several months, but the monitor indicated she was
not getting better. It would be a lie to say he isn't agitated. He seems calm, but in fact he is beyond
terrified that Eunice would never wake up and feel the world again.

If that is the case, he would never forgive himself.

Ryan endures this half an hour in distress. He does not relax for even one second, feeling like he is
walking a tightrope through an endless abyss. When the ward door opens and Karl walks out, he
realizes it is over.

Looking at the man in the white coat, he wants to ask him about Eunice, but his throat seems to have
been wrapped in tape and he cannot make a sound.

Fortunately, Karl knows what he is going to say and comforts him, "Don't worry. She's fine."

Just as Ryan is about to loosen up, Karl adds, "But she hasn't woken up."

"..."

Ryan feels like he is on a roller coaster. One moment, he is in the sky, but the next he is in an abyss,
and he almost gets thrown out along the way.

Karl knows it is unfair to say this, but he has an obligation to inform the patient's family members, "Here
is the matter. We noticed something on her EEG, which implies she is slowly awakening. After we
performed the micro-electric awakening treatment, we have made noticeable progress. Although she is



yet to wake up, her consciousness is active. In other words, there is a high possibility that she will
come to us in the near future."

Ryan can't believe what he has heard. He has waited so long for this, and now he finds it dreamlike.
"Really?" asks he.

Karl smiles and replies, "Yes. I can't lie to you on this."
