Unconscious
“Sweetie, are you awake?” she exclaimed in a hoarse and raspy voice.
“Mom, I’m so thirsty,” the patient murmured weakly. Immediately, the elderly woman handed her
daughter a glass of water on the table. The woman had a worried and troubled expression painted
across her face.
Bang! The door burst open to reveal two fierce-looking thugs. The men emitted a menacing aura.
Seeing the duo, the patient quickly shut her eyes and turned away to hide her face from view.
“Is she still alive?” one of the men asked coldly. The other thug barged his way in and yanked the
patient upright.
Yet, the patient remained motionless and did not respond to the rough manhandling. The elderly
woman couldn’t believe the sight before her eyes. It seemed like her daughter was never awake in the
first place.
Bang! The man hurled the patient back to the bed after she did not respond. With that, the two men left
as they pulled out their phones.
“Sweetie, are you alright?” The elderly woman rushed forward after closing the door.
Seeing her daughter in such a helpless state caused a pang of sadness in her heart. Just as the patient
was about to reply to her mother, the door burst open again.
“Be careful with your words in the future,” the men uttered before leaving again. Their ominous words
served as a sinister warning.Seeing their figures vanish in the distance, a flicker of anguish flickered across the patient’s eyes. All
she wanted was to do was earn money! Who’d expect that she would nearly lose her life because of it!
“Ms. Duff, she has yet to regain consciousness. You can relax,” a deep and muffled voice echoed from
the hallway.
Tonight, a single crescent moon hung on the night sky. There wasn’t a single star to be seen. The
darkness created a very quiet atmosphere. In the deep of the night, most people were in a deep
slumber. Yet, there were still a few people who could not fall asleep due to worry and anxiety.
Joan tossed and turned on the bed. She shifted her gaze eyes towards the dark sky. All of these
troubles had caused Joan to lose the bright gleam she once had in her eyes.
When will everything finally come to an end? Her body trembled as she clenched her blankets in a tight
grip.
“Sweetie, why can’t we let everyone else know that you’ve awakened?”
“Mom, stop asking about it.” She turned around to face the window. The patient’s haggard face was
lined with exhaustion.
“Is someone trying to hurt you?” her mother questioned again.
“No,” the patient replied after a brief moment of hesitation. Despite her relaxed tone, her hands were
balled into tight fists. There was a sorrowful look across her face. How foolish! I must have lost her
mind! Why did I agree to the woman’s deal? The woman is the sole reason I performed those
horrendous deeds.
Whilst Larry worked, he tried to uncover the truth behind Joan’s incident.On the other hand, Joan remained at the flower shop to tend to her flowers. However, the shop
remained devoid of any customers as Joan was plagued with anxiety and helplessness. She feared
that the blame would shift to Ms. Young. Additionally, the patient’s unconsciousness was also part of
her worries. In the worst-case scenario, the truth would never be uncovered.
In the office, Caspian could not help but voice his concerns. ”Larry, how are things progressing so far?
noveldramaCaspian asked worriedly.
What other choice do I have? All I can do right now is investigate this matter step by step.
Larry lifted his head as he sighed tiredly. His gaze was dark and devoid of any hope. Who exactly is the
mastermind behind this plan?
“Larry, do you need my help?” Caspian asked eagerly.
Larry remained silent and merely shook his head in reply.
“Larry, there is actually a matter that arose. I’m not sure if I should let you know…” Caspian
stammered.
“Spit it out!” Larry commanded coldly.
“Ms. Duff has returned.”
Caspian’s shocking words prompted Larry to leap to his feet in shock as he whirled around. A dark
storm seemed to gather over his head when he heard the news. He’d gone through all this effort to
send her out of the country. Why is she back now?
“She’s asking you out for dinner tonight.” Caspian added.There is no way I’m going! In an instant, the thought of rejecting her invitation popped into his mind. He
had no wish to meet Della again. Larry’s only wish was the spend the rest of his peaceful life with Joan.
Yet, his hopeful dream was shattered by countless meddlers.
