Chapter 414
Startled, I dropped the towel from my hands and dashed to the bedside, eager to see for myself. There
Catherine was, eyes still tightly shut. I asked Logan, "What''s going on?"
"Her hand moved!" he insisted, eyes glued to Catherine as he called out, "Hey... wake up, you''ve slept
enough. Stop faking, will ya? Time for dinner!"
Sure enough, her eyshes quivered, resembling a sleepy child disturbed from slumber, appearing
quite displeased, even furrowing her brows slightly.
I couldn''t help but feel a surge of joy, calling out to her eagerly, "Catherine,e on, wake up!"
Logan gently shook her hand and said in a yful tone, "Hey... Sunrise, sunshine! Time to get up,
Catherine. Mr. Wilburn is asking about you. The Oldtown Avenue project needs your attention, or it''s
gonna fall through!"
At that, Catherine''s head moved ever so slightly, as if she was struggling to open her eyes.
"You''re always sleeping, aren''t you hungry?" Logan teased, slipping back into his usual banter.
Finally, Catherine''sshes began to part, revealing eyes unfocused and bleary.
Just then, Hannah came in with a tray of food. Logan quickly sent her to get the doctor, and she hurried
out, leaving the tray behind.
"Catherine, Catherine!" I called anxiously, afraid her eyes would close again. Her gaze shifted towards
me.
Logan let out a chuckle. "Has this turned into a staring contest? Catherine, you really know how to
y!" He was trying to be funny, but concern was evident in his bloodshot eyes.
Iughed until tears came.

Catherine closed her eyes and reopened them, focusing on me this time, then turned her head slightly
to look at Logan.
Just staring, I felt a twinge of nervousness. Why wasn''t she speaking? Her expression was neutral, just
blinking at Logan as if she didn''t recognize him.
The doctor and nurses entered briskly, and we stepped aside to let them do their work. Catherine
responded slowly to their questions, but her thoughts seemed clear and her limbs coordinated.
Standing up, the doctor turned to us with a pleased smile. "She''s doing very well. She might feel dizzy,
sleepy, and experience nausea or vomiting these days. She''ll need to continue with oxygen therapy
and spend time in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber each day. From now on, she just needs good rest
and nutrition. The wound is healing fine, and she''ll be ready to be discharged once all symptoms are
gone."
After the doctor left, Logan leaned in close to Catherine. "You didn''t lose any brain cells, did you?"
To our surprise, Catherine retorted, "You''re loud enough to wake the dead! Can''t you let someone
sleep?"
At her words, we all rxed. She was okay after all!
We allughed, but Catherine grumbled, "What''s so funny? Aren''t we supposed to eat? I''m starving!"
I quickly agreed, "Right away, let''s eat!"
She rolled her eyes and slowly raised her hand to touch her head.
Logan teased her, "Your head''s still there, no need to check!"
She nced at Logan. "As if you wouldn''t be d if it wasn''t."
Logan feigned despair. "Of course not! First thing I checked when I found you was your head, I swear!"
"I''m checking if my hair''s still there. I don''t want to end up bald," Catherine defended.
Logan snorted, "You''re worried about your hair after a near-death experience? Bald or not, you''d still be
a beauty!"
Catherine shot back, "Oh, really? And how exactly am I supposed to find a decent boyfriend if I were
bald?"
I chuckled to myself, knowing full well she was teasing Logan.
Logan''s face fell as he retorted, "Well, I''m relieved to hear that. You''re not silly, and you''ll find
someone!"
Iughed and brought the tray over, asking, "Ready to eat now?" Draмanovels.cоm
"Oh... damn, maybe I did lose some brain cells!" she cursed yfully, her feisty spirit undimmed.
Now I was truly reassured; her sharp tongue meant she was alright.
