Chapter 1017
"I don't want it to happen again!" Phil warned. Dr. Choffard nodded.
Asking Dr. Choffard to sit down, Phil looked over and asked, "Do you think it's a good time for me to meet her mother?"
Phil felt uneasy since it was the first time to meet her mother.
Before the accident, Lorie was just a housewife and seldom attended any formal business occasions, leaving no chance of
meeting for Phil who fell in love with her daughter.
Lorie had a car accident when he wanted to meet her.
These years in hospital, Lorie may know him but never met him. It was their first meeting today.
Phil was worried that Lorie would refuse to see him. On the other side, he was afraid that she would be emotional when she saw
him, which would not be conducive to her health.
Dr. Choffard answered firmly, "Of course, you can visit her."
As soon as she woke up, Dr. Choffard and his team checked her condition and learned that she was in stable condition.
Dr. Choffard added, "Although she is still unable to speak or move her limbs, she can blink and you can communicate with her by
asking questions. If she agrees, she can blink. That's what we used to do when we examined her."
"OK," Phil answered.
When Dr. Choffard was about to get up and take him to the ward, Phil said, "Well, you better go in first and ask her about her
decision for me. If she doesn't want to see me, my going into her ward will irritate her."
"OK." Dr. Choffard followed Phil's decision.
Not knowing much about his divorce, Dr. Choffard felt Lorie would not refuse the request of Phil who had been visiting her these
years.
Besides, Anya, loved and cared by Phil would mention him when she frequently visited her mother.
No matter what Anya said to her mother,
Lorie would feel Phil's sincerity for Anya.
Then they went to Lorie's ward and Phil waited outside.
The nurse was asked to leave after Dr. Choffard went in.
Lorie looked much better and tried to smile at the sight of Dr. Choffard.
Dr. Choffard smiled and bent to ask her softly, "Do you know Phil? If so, please blink."
She blinked and when she heard the name, her eyes lit up.
Dr. Choffard instantly guessed she didn't reject Phil and then added, "He is waiting outside the ward and wants to visit you. If you
agree, please blink."
Dr. Choffard was highly nervous at the same time.
As she blinked, Dr. Choffard breathed with relief and knew his guess was right.
"OK. I let him in." Dr. Choffard added, "Don't worry. Our doctors wait outside the ward. If any thing happen, we will be right here."
She nodded slightly because that was all she could do with her body right now. She also wanted to talk and act and talk. But the
neurological damage was so severe that she now has to wait patiently for her recovery
Fortunately, she was in a stable mood and patiently received more medical treatment.
She was determined to wait for her recovery.
"She agreed and didn't reject you." Dr. Choffard walked out to tell him the new in a low voice and dissipated his anxiety.
The crumpled cigar in Phil's hand showed that he was nervous. If it were not for the ban on smoking in the hospital, he would
have smoked many cigarettes.
He nodded, threw the crumpled cigar into the trash can next to him, and then stepped into the ward.
Despite the short distance from the door to her bed and the Dr. Choffard's comfort, Phil felt it hard to walk over.
When he finally came over, he noticed Lorie lay on the bed awake
Anya had as beautiful eyes as her mother.
Anya's eyes were full of the desire for freedom and strong personality. But her mother looked peaceful and gentle.
He didn't see any hatred or contempt but peace in her eyes.
He finally felt relieved after knowing she didn't reject him for the accident.
Even so, he solemnly bowed to her on the sickbed, and then apologized. "Thank you for your willingness to see me. In any case,
I apologize to you first. It's my fault. It was selfish of me to tell you the things that led to this accident! If I could do it all over
again, I would not choose such a selfish way to get Anya. I..."
He, devoured by guilt, could not finish his words now.
His plan to get close to Anya in a natural and perfect way eventually brought sufferings to her.
At the sight of his face all written with guilty, Lorie on the bed tried to comfort him but she could only say, "Ah, Ah..."
He hurried forward to comfort her, "Sorry, I am too sentimental about the past."
Seeing that he was in a better mood, she became less agitated and she stared at him then shook her head with great effort.
Carefully reading the emotions in her eyes, he asked in surprise, "Are you telling me not to blame myself too much?"
He recalled Dr. Choffard's words and asked, "If so, please blink."
Then, Lorie on the hospital bed blinked gently.
For a moment, Phil dissolved into shedding tears since he clearly knew she didn't blame him.
