CHAPTER 238
“I never promised to resign simply because Mr Storm happened to be standing here when she woke up,” Dr. Smith said firmly.His voice filled with irritation, and I noticed the way his eyebrows pulled together as he spoke. He was trying to sound reasonable, but the tension in his face betrayed him. He folded his arms across his chest, almost as though crossing them would protect him from the pressure surrounding him.“I agreed to the bet based on the understanding that you believed you could bring her out of her coma,” he continued. “But what happened here does not prove that you actually caused her awakening. Medicine is complicated. There are countless things happening inside the human body that we cannot always explain.”He paused and glanced toward Emily’s bed before looking back at me.“Nobody in this room can conclusively prove that your touch caused her to wake up,” he said. “Her nervous system may simply have reached the point where consciousness naturally returned. It could
CHAPTER 237
He looked at her for another second before turning his attention back to me.“You think because she woke up when you touched her, you have proven that you caused it,” he said. “But medicine isn’t that simple.”I stared at him for several seconds.“I never said medicine was simple,” I replied.I spoke slowly because I wanted every word to be understood.“What I said is that you made a bet because you were confident that you could bring her back. You failed. I stepped forward, and she woke up.”His face tightened again.“You are making assumptions,” he argued.“No,” I said calmly. “I’m looking at what happened.”The room fell silent.For a few seconds, nobody said anything.Then I noticed Mr. Kingston slowly step away from his daughter’s bedside.He had been standing beside Emily for several minutes, watching the argument while trying to contain the emotions that were still overwhelming him. I could understand why. His daughter was awake after five years. He had finally heard her voice
CHAPTER 236
I listened to Dr. Smith without interrupting him. I kept my expression calm, even though I could see exactly what he was trying to do. He was no longer speaking like a doctor who had a clear medical explanation. He was speaking like a man desperately searching for an excuse that would save him from the consequences of the bet he had made. Still, I said nothing. I simply stood there with my eyes fixed on him and allowed him to finish whatever explanation he had prepared.Dr. Smith seemed to notice my silence, and I could tell that he was beginning to mistake it for uncertainty. His jaw remained tight as he continued speaking, but he tried to make his voice sound confident, almost as though he were giving a professional medical explanation to a room full of people who knew nothing about medicine.“What I am saying is simple,” Dr. Smith insisted, his voice carrying a defensive firmness as he repeated and tried to prove a point.“Patients who have been unconscious for extended periods
CHAPTER 235
Mrs. Kingston sat carefully beside her daughter, holding her hand as though she was afraid to let go. She kept touching the girl’s face, brushing her hair away from her forehead, and asking her small questions just to hear her answer again.“Are you comfortable, sweetheart?” Mrs. Kingston asked gently, her voice trembling with happiness as she carefully adjusted the blanket around her daughter. “Do you feel any pain anywhere?”The girl slowly shook her head.“No, Mom,” she replied weakly. “I just feel tired.”Mrs. Kingston smiled through her tears.“That’s okay. You don’t have to talk too much. Just rest.”Mr. Kingston stood beside them, unable to hide the smile on his face. Every few seconds, he would look at his daughter and shake his head as though he still could not believe that she was actually awake.I watched them for a moment.Their happiness was understandable.After five years of waiting, anyone would want to celebrate such a moment.But my attention soon shifted away from
CHAPTER 234
LEONARDS POVI remained beside the hospital bed, watching the young girl carefully. I looked at the girl for several seconds before speaking softly.“You have slept enough,” I said calmly, my voice gentle as I leaned slightly closer to her. “It is time for you to wake up.”Nothing happened immediately.The girl remained motionless.I continued looking at her.“Come back,” I whispered, my voice still calm. “You have been away for long enough.”Almost immediately, something changed. The girl’s fingers moved.It was barely noticeable.Her right index finger twitched once before becoming still again.Mrs. Kingston was the first person to notice it.Her eyes widened, and she suddenly gasped.“Wait!” she exclaimed, bringing one hand toward her mouth as she stared at her daughter’s hand. Her voice trembled with disbelief. “Did you see that?”Mr. Kingston turned toward his wife with confusion.“See what?” he asked, his eyebrows drawing together as he looked from her face to their daughter.M
CHAPTER 233
LEONARD’S POV“I will step aside,” Dr. Smith said reluctantly, his voice low and filled with frustration. He folded his arms across his chest and looked at me with narrowed eyes. “But don’t mistake that for believing you can actually do anything.”I looked at him briefly but did not answer.Dr. Smith gave a faint, confident smile before turning his attention toward his wife. His wife was standing a short distance away, watching me with uncertainty. He leaned slightly toward her and lowered his voice, clearly intending for only her to hear.“He is going to fail,” Dr. Smith whispered, shaking his head with confidence. “Sooner or later, he will realize that bringing someone out of a five-year coma is not something that can be accomplished with confidence or ordinary business knowledge.”His wife glanced at him nervously before looking toward me.“Are you sure?” she whispered, her expression showing that she was no longer as confident as her husband.Dr. Smith nodded.“Of course I am
