Chapter 588


    “What?” Paul was in disbelief. He couldn’t stop himself from eximing.


    How did Skr end up in a vegetative state?


    She’d been alive and kicking a day ago. One trip to Liberty County, and she’d entered a vegetative


    state?


    Had these doctors examined her properly? Had they thought of a proper treatment n for her?


    Paul immediately turned to Joe.


    As he’d expected, Joe’s expression was frigid. He ordered, “Exhaust every method you can think of.


    You know that we’ll never ept this as her future.”


    Robert Harrison, the head of Jipsburg Hospital, sighed deeply and replied, “We’vepiled her


    medical reports and discussed this matter with experts overseas. They’ve all agreed that this is a


    problem that no one can solve. Mr. Martin, we càn only hope for a miracle now.”


    He’d made clear that no one knew how to help Skr.


    It wasn’t that they didn’t want to save her. The patient was someone Joe cared about. They’d


    considered every possibility, but in the end, they found no viable option.


    After all the doctors left, Paul immediately asked Joe, “Mr. Martin, should I contact hospitals


    overseas? Also… should I ask Mrs. Martin’s family toe over? They still don’t know Ms.


    Sullivan’s condition.”


    There was also Gloria. N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    If they had kept this from Gloria, she might not have been able to bear it when she eventually found


    them out.


    Two days ago, Alexander and Harry had returned from Liberty County. They felt another wave of


    self–me when they heard that Jipsburg Hospital had found no way to save her.


    They’d pleaded for help from many sources. The two of them also helped keep the news from


    Gloria.


    Joe ordered coldly, “Please leave first.”


    Paul froze in surprise. Then, he left the room swiftly.


    Joe sat by the bed and looked down at Skr. The room waspletely silent.


    2/2


    Suddenly, he heard the chime of a notification. Joe nced over. It was Charles calling Skr.


    Skr’s phone had been quiet for three days. No one called. This was the first iing call.


    Joe’s eyes shifted away from it after a brief look. He allowed the phone to keep ringing. He had no


    idea what to tell Charles.


    Another call came in after the first one ended. It was still Charles.


    Joe furrowed his brows.


    At that moment, Joe heard a hoarse female voice squeak out beside him, “The phone


    ”


    Surprise took over Joe’s features. He turned around to look at Skr.


    He watched as Skr opened her eyes. Then, she narrowed her eyes again, perhaps because she


    couldn’t get used to the room’s brightness.


    Skr felt like her brain wasgging when she saw Joe before her. She said, “You…”


    Her throat felt dry and scratchy. It was as though she’d been down with a major disease.


    It was as though someone had hit a stop button over Joe. He stared at her in total


    shock.


    Skr was dumbfounded by his gaze. She wanted to speak, but her throat hurt excruciating. When


    she tried to sit up, she found herselfpletely weak.


    She could only stare at Joe.


    When their eyes met in midair, Joe finally came to his senses.


    Then, he stood up abruptly.


    He strode toward the door and instructed Paul, “Get Dr. Stone, her main physician, toe over!”


    Skr’s main physician?


    Skr finally realized that something was off after waking up. Only then did she realize that she was


    in the Hospital.
