Boyce nodded his head, “I didn’t take it to heart.”
“I trust you. It’s all my fault to cause this accident.” Officer Miller looked regretful as he said in a melancholy tone.
Boyce didn’t say anything but just listen quietly.
“Well, you may continue your work first. I have finished packing up my things and am ready to go now.” Officer Miller stood up. Boyce also followed him to stand up, “I’ll see you off.” Officer Miller smiled and said, “Good. I don’t regret to have you as my subordinate.”
Boyce went to see Officer Miller off and when they walked out of the police station, many colleagues had come over to greet Officer Miller. They said that they remembered him as their boss and felt sad about his early retirement.
When they were outside, Officer Miller asked them not to see him off and went back alone.
No matter what happened before, everyone felt sad and reluctant when Officer Miller left. They had affection towards him after being his subordinates for a long time.
Boyce stood at the door while seeing Officer Miller off. He felt very upset too.
“Now that Officer Miller had left, it’s time for Boyce to become the officer.” Someone said.
Boyce said, “Go to work.”
“Officer Shawn.” The person joked.
Boyce immediately turned angry, “Don’t talk nonsense!”
He thought that they should make such a joke as it was not good when someone heard it.
The person smiled.
When it was time for the meeting, the crowd dispersed. Those who needed to attend the meeting went to the conference room.
In the evening, Boyce went to bring Elizabeth to the hospital after he finished his work.
At that time, the doctor was doing a check-up, so Boyce didn’t push Mrs. Lady into the ward but waited outside.
Elizabeth didn’t believe it when she heard Boyce saying that Armand had a car accident. She thought that Armand had done it on purpose.
Because she couldn’t accept the fact that Theresa couldn’t have children.
Now that she came to the hospital. She became very uneasy as she was afraid that Armand really met a car accident.
After a while, the door of the examination room opened and Armand was pushed out, followed by Theresa. When Theresa saw that Boyce had brought Elizabeth over, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she regained her consciousness and followed the medical staff over.
Elizabeth was shaking unconsciously. She stared at the person who was lying on the bed being pushed over. Soon, she saw the face of the person lying on the hospital bed. It was her grandson, Armand.
“Armand…”
Boyce pushed Elizabeth who was agitated.
She grabbed Armand’s hand, “Armand, wake up please.”
“Don’t shake the patient’s hand.” The doctor stopped her behaviour, “The patient has injured his head and it is not appropriate to shake his body.”
She immediately withdrew her hand as she was afraid of causing another injury to Armand.
However, she was very scared that Armand’s injury was severe.
“Doctor, how is my grandson’s injury?” Elizabeth cried until her eyes turned red.
“It’s not life-threatening, but I’m not sure when he’ll wake up.” The doctor said.
‘The doctor is not sure when he’ll wake up?’
Elizabeth was so anxious that he said in an incoherent tone, “He…he would wake up, right?”
She thought that many people weren’t able to wake up again and stayed in a vegetative state after having an accident.
As she thought about it, she became panicked and her face turned pale.
The doctor pushed his spectacles on his nose and said with a very unnatural expression, “It depends.”
Elizabeth’s body swayed and she almost fainted.
Boyce immediately held her, “But the doctor said that it is still hopeful that he will wake up.”
Elizabeth wiped the tears off her face and said remorsefully, “It’s all my fault. It’s my fault.”
In the past few days, they quarelled whenever they met and argued with each other. They didn’t have a proper talk. She knew that Armand liked Theresa and still disagreed with their relationship. She thought that he must have been in a bad mood to drink and drive and this caused the car accident.
“Armand. I’m wrong. Wake up quickly.” Elizabeth cried on the side of the bed.
Theresa looked at Boyce and whispered, “Why did you bring Mrs. Bernie here?”
Boyce said, “We can’t hide this from her. She will need to know it one day.”
“It is better to send the patient to the ward first.” The doctor said as he thought that they were blocking the way there.
Armand was resent to the ward and Elizabeth followed them.
She felt heartbroken watching her grandson in an unconscious state and having a pale look.
He held his hand and cried again.
“Armand, wake up, please. Why are you letting me so afraid of losing you when I am already so old?” Elizabeth was so anxious that she didn’t look like how she would be usually. It was really a blow to her seeing Armand’s current situation.
Theresa poured a glass of water for Elizabeth, “Drink some water.”
Elizabeth lifted her head and looked at Theresa.000
Theresa pursed her lips, “I will take care of Armand, don’t be too sad about it.” Elizabeth’s eyes got even redder. She felt sorry when she faced this girl. She grabbed Theresa’s hand and lower her head without saying a word. Theresa’s expression was calm, but deep inside her heart was trembling. “Don’t be mad at me, okay?” Elizabeth was talking in a begging tone.
Theresa said “okay”. She was not answering with anger, nor it was a well-thought-out answer. It was because she was moved when she saw the tears of the old lady. Hence, she could not say any harsh words to her.
She still said ‘okay’ although she was deeply hurt before.
Elizabeth wiped her tears, “I’m not sure if the medical treatment abroad is good enough. Should we transfer Armand to another hospital?”
Elizabeth was worried that the doctor would misdiagnose his condition. In fact, she had a fluke in her heart, hoping that it was a misdiagnosis and that Armand would soon wake up.
Theresa knew what Elizabeth was worried about, “But the doctor said Armand can’t move because he hurt his head.”
Elizabeth nodded. She knew injuries on the head could be very serious.
