Chapter 1042
Elliot sat down beside the bed once again, gently calling out, “Honey, it’s time to eat. You’ve been through a lot this morning, and you must be hungry by now, right? Nana?”
He called out a couple more times, but Sheena remained unresponsive.
Elliot felt restless and nervously reached out to check her breathing.
Her breathing was fairly stable.
“Wake up, honey. Stop sleeping,” he urged.
As his hand brushed through her hair at the back of her head, he felt a sticky sensation on his fingers.
Elliot's heart sank as he pulled his trembling hand away from Sheena.
Upon closer look, he noticed a smear of blood on his fingertips.
It was clear that the injury to the back of her head was more serious than he had initially thought.
Elliot immediately called the police officers guarding the hotel.
“Nana’s not doing well. Call an ambulance and get here fast.”
After hanging up the phone, Elliot carried Sheena and rushed downstairs.
Seeing no signs of her waking up, his heart felt like it was being crushed.
Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably, and it was his first time crying so hard. “Nana, please be fine! You have to! Otherwise, Ill never forgive myself!”
His eyes were red and swollen.
Usually composed, Elliot felt utterly lost and helpless like a child.
Over ten unbearable minutes later, Sheena was admitted to Ardolisia’s largest hospital and taken into the emergency room.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

He tightly held Sheena’s hand as they entered a regular ward together.
The doctor spoke in a calm tone, ‘Rest assured. There’s nothing serious for now. The coma is likely due to a concussion, and the bleeding is superficial. The scans show no signs of intracranial bleeding.”
Elliot breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before he could fully relax, the doctor continued, “However, we're also monitoring her condition closely. If she doesn’t wake up within 24 hours, we'll have to transfer her to the intensive care unit and attempt to wake her forcefully.
