Chapter 1018 Wake Up


    After all the medical staff had left, Jack, dressed in sterile garb, sat beside


    Mandy.


    He grasped Mandy’s cold hand and reassured her in a deep voice,


    “Everything’s over now. I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you this time.”


    Unfortunately, Mandy remained unconscious on the bed, unable to respond to


    him.


    Time flew by, and Jack stayed steadfastly by Mandy’s side, even taking leave


    from Joe.


    At this point, Charlotte was still missing, but Joe understood Jack’s feelings,


    urging him to take good care of Mandy.


    After all, Mandy had once saved Charlotte’s life.


    The next morning, Mandy’s fingers twitched slightly. Jack, who had been


    attentively watching her, became excited and softly said, “Mandy?”


    In her current state, Mandy felt as if she was wandering through an empty,


    pitch-ck void. She had no idea how long she had been walking or how long


    it would take to find another soul or destination in this darkness.


    All she knew was that she couldn’t remain here. She had to find a way to


    break free from this enveloping darkness.


    No matter what she tried, Mandy couldn’t dispel the engulfing darkness


    before her. She even heard a faint rustling sound, as if some terrifying


    creature lurked in the shadows.


    Instinctively, Mandy took a step back.


    Yet the darkness surrounded her from all sides, leaving no room to escape.


    Just as Mandy was racking her brain on how to free herself from this


    oppressive ckness, a faint glimmer of light suddenly appeared. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    This sliver of light instantly pushed away the surrounding darkness, creating a


    small circle of rity.


    Though no one ever mentioned it, Mandy inexplicably felt this beam of light


    was her only chance to be alive.


    Before she could touch it, the once-diminutive light suddenly burst into


    brilliance, illuminating every path around her.


    “Where am I?” Mandy’s weak and raspy voice echoed as she finally woke up


    from the unconscious.


    She slowly opened her eyes and immediately saw Jack, who looked anxious.


    She reached out to Jack, who immediately grasped her hand. “You’re finally


    awake!”


    “How long have I been out?” Mandy asked with a hint of confusion in her


    eyes.


    Jack paused momentarily with a fleeting sparkle in his eyes as he replied,


    “You’ve been unconscious for five days.”


    Despite the doctors assuring that her condition was not critical, for some


    unknown reason, she couldn’t wake up. Only Jack never gave up, staying by


    her side the entire time, waiting for this moment.


    “I’m sorry for scaring you,” Mandy said, touching Jack’s face. His features


    were etched with visible exhaustion, indicating he hadn’t rested well during


    this period.


    “As long as you’re okay, I’m not scared of anything,” Jack said, staring


    profoundly into Mandy’s eyes.


    A flutter went through Mandy’s heart, and she smiled. “Don’t worry, I’ll always


    be by your side.”


    Jack held her hand, and they looked at each other with deep emotion.


    After a while, Mandy suddenly remembered the events before she got shot.


    Her face turned anxious as she asked, “Where’s Miss Clinton?”
