Chapter 979 I Wouldn't Have Got Divorced
Phil said it and hung up the phone, then threw himself into the couch.
"Anya's mother has woken up?" asked Arthur, surprisingly.
The other guys heard what they had talked on the phone just now. As a doctor, Arthur was the most This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
stunned since he knew there were only a twenty percent chance for a patient to wake up in that
situation.
"Not exactly. The doctor said she has regained some consciousness, and they have to do a general
check-up on her later" said Phil, lightly.
"That's a good news." said Julian.
"Yeah, it is." said Phil, smiling bitterly.
"I wouldn't have got divorced if the news has come one hour earlier."
Anya might hate him less as Lorie woke up and he thought he still had the chance to win her back. But
Lorie was better right after they got divorced. Maybe that was the karma thing.
"Do you think you won't get a divorce as long as Lorie regains consciousness?"
"If she knows it's you who has put her into this indirectly, she might force Anya to divorce you. Anyway,
you still get a divorce in the end."
Ezra didn't mean to frustrate Phil deliberately. He just didn't want to to see Phil bear the false hope and
get hurt in the end.
And he would be deeply hurt.
Phil remained silent, but Ezra did make a point of it. If Lorie hated him as much as Anya, his
relationship with Anya would be much worse than now as Lorie came to herself.
But he regretted getting a divorce.
He wouldn't have divorced Anya if he had known Lorie would regain consciousness. He wouldn't have
agreed to get a divorce no matter how strongly they urged. In that case, Anya was still his wife.
But now...
Phil felt blood surging inside whenever he thought both Any and Lorie hated him like hell. He felt a pain
on the chest since Anya cut her wrist to kill herself in front of him. And he felt blood rising up once he
got emotional.
Arthur said he had been too depressed. He suggested he cheer up or he would fall ill.
Julian said at the right time, "I've met Lorie once and I don't think she is a mean and narrow-minded
woman. Anya is a girl of good moral character. Like mother, like daughter. Probably, Lorie is a
reasonable woman."
"Anya hates you because Lorie is the only family to her."
"If Lorie forgives you and doesn't hate you, Anya might treat you differently, too."
Ezra suggested again, "I think Anya listens to her mother. If Lorie fully recovers consciousness, I think
you can start with her and then seek the chances to be back together with Anya."
Arthur nodded and echoed, "Good idea! Draw Lorie over to your side first. Then you can let her to
convince Anya."
Phil just pursed his lips and said nothing no matter how heatedly they were discussing.
Arthur saw his face and asked with concern, "Are you OK?"
Phil put one hand upon his chest and turned aside. Then he spit out blood and looked very painful on
his determined face.
It just scared the hell out of Ezra and Julian. Arthur rushed towards him and checked, "He's got
gastrorrhagia. We must take him to hospital now!"
Julian and Ezra knew it all at once when they heard "gastrorrhagia".
Phil hadn't kept regular hours since he fell out with Anya on New Year Eve. He didn't eat or sleep
properly. But he hit the bottle in the clubs everyday and he wouldn't go home until he was as drunk as a
fiddler. They had no idea how much he had drunk without being seen.
So, it was not surprising that he fell ill. The guys took him to hospital for medical treatment. Arthur
stayed with him there and the others went home.
Arthur help Phil settle down in the ward and then went for Lorie's attending doctor Dr. Choffard. Lorie
had been recuperated in the hospital owned by Arthur. Dr. Choffard was hired by Phil at high salary but
he still worked for Arthur.
"We did the group consultation and we all agreed that Madam Lorie would regain consciousness
completely with active treatment and recovery. But the recovery of the somatic functions will be a long
and difficult process."
Dr. Choffard reported to Arthur like that. In other words, though Lorie could regain consciousness
gradually and even woke up, she still couldn't take care of herself in daily life in a short time and she
might live on the wheelchair.
Arthur nodded, thinking it was the best result and it was a medical miracle.
Regarding the recovery of somatic functions, they could make the rehabilitation program in accordance
with the specific conditions later.
"Ms. Anya has been waiting in the room." added Dr. Choffard.
"Hmm." Arthur thought of it and said, "Just pretend you don't know they've been divorced. Don't
mention it on purpose."
"I see." said Dr. Choffard, "I'll get back to my work then."
Arthur arrived at the door of the ward after Dr. Choffard left. Through the window of the door, he saw
Anya holding Lorie's hand, resting herself on the bed and staring at her without a blink.
Arthur shook his head helplessly. He knew she was expecting that Lorie could respond to her again but
it didn't help at all by staring at her like that for the whole day. It took time for her to regain
consciousness.
He knocked at the door and got in. Anya saw him and looked a bit embarrassed. After all, he was Phil's
friend and she had just divorced Phil. So, she felt a bit uncomfortable to see him.
"You can't wait here all day long. Go home and have some rest." Arthur reminded kindly, "We don't
know when she will be conscious again. We've got nurses and nursing workers here. We'll let you
know."
"You're still wounded on the wrist and just discharged from hospital. Don't be tired out."
Hearing it, Anya lowered her eyes to look at her wrist. She still had the wound wrapped in gauze and
only herself knew what the scar looked like under it.
She had no idea whether the scar would be gone and she had no idea how long it would take to fully
recover. She just knew it would remind her of the bitter love tragedy between Phil and her as long as
the scar was still there.
While Anya was looking at the wound on her wrist, once again, she felt Lorie's hand move.
"Her hand moved again!" Anya cried out immediately.
Arthur stepped forward and found Lorie's hand shaking.
He frowned and thought about what he was talking with Anya just now. He mentioned the wound on
her wrist and as a doctor, he realized it sharply that Lorie might respond when she heard something
that broke her heart.
With the thought in mind, he asked Anya, "Did you tell your mother that you've got divorced?"
"Yes..." Anya was smart and she got it instantly. It turned out that Lorie would respond when she told
her some heartbreaking things.
Right at the moment, Arthur spoke again slowly, "And, did you tell your mother that you've cut your
wrist to kill yourself in order to divorce Phil?"
As expected, it had stimulated Lorie and her hand shook more severely this time.
