Chapter 739 We’ve Done All We Could
“Is that so?” Damien responded with a faint smile. “I don’t believe this would have crossed your mind. without Rowena instructing and inciting you. Even if your sister didn’t move a muscle, she was the mastermind behind it. Don’t you agree?”
“No!” Ursula began resisting fiercely. When Mr. Kolson saw it, he stepped forward and shoved her to the ground with his knee.
“My sister has nothing to do with this!” Ursula raised her head frantically. “She’s innocent! She’s the kindest. person in the world!”
Cherise scoffed, crouched down, and met Ursula’s defiant gaze. “Well then, since you call her the best. person in the world, I’ll show you her true colors.” Cherise glanced at Mr. Kolson. “Take her to the police station.” Mr. Kolson obeyed and departed with Ursula.
Shortly after Mr. Kolson’s departure, the door to the emergency room swung open. “Mr. Lenoir, we’ve done all we could…” The doctor emerged, shaking his head. “However, Mr. Miles suffered a concussion in the accident, resulting in an intracranial hematoma, so we can’t predict when he’ll regain consciousness.”
At the side, Lyra’s figure froze as she clutched her backpack. She murmured with a pale expression. “You can’t predict when he’ll wake up… What does that mean?”
“It means…” The doctor sighed, “He could wake up tomorrow, or he might never regain consciousness for the rest of his life…”
“He’s essentially in a vegetative state now, but his chances of waking up are significantly higher than a typical vegetative patient. It’s just… There are exceptions to even the highest probability, so no one can guarantee when he’ll regain consciousness…”
Before the doctor could finish, Cherise’s vision blurred, and she collapsed. Cherise only regained consciousness the following morning.
Lucy was beside Cherise, her eyes swollen and red. Upon seeing Cherise awaken, Lucy quickly helped her up. “How are you feeling? Are you feeling any discomfort?”
Cherise massaged her throbbing head, “What happened to me?”
“You’ve been neglecting your rest due to your thesis, and you were traumatized from shock at the research. institute’s entrance. On top of that, you were overwhelmed with grief upon hearing about Zachary’s condition, so you fainted.”
“But you’re alright, it’s just… Lucy handed Cherise a glass of water while sighing faintly. “Zachary’s young fiancée hasn’t slept all night. She’s been sitting by Zachary’s side, holding his hand, insisting he’ll wake up within the hour.”
“Hours have passed…” Lucy furrowed her brows. “She’s maintained her unwavering belief that Zachary is about to wake up even after an entire night. She’s determined to wait for him to gain consciousness.”
Upon saying this, Lucy sighed. “But it’s evident that Zachary’s young fiancée truly loves him deeply…
Cherise leaned against the headboard, closing her eyes. “It’s all my fault.”

Lyra and Zachary had just gotten engaged and were madly in love. This had happened because she had hesitated and didn’t reveal the truth.
“How can you blame yourself?” Lucy frowned and comforted Cherise. “You had your reasons for not revealing the truth about what happened three years ago… What you need to do now is tell Damien about Rowena and ensure those two sisters receive the punishment they deserve!”
“As for Zachary…” Lucy took a deep breath, “Actually, there’s a pretty good chance he’ll wake up. We just don’t know when he’ll regain consciousness…”
