Chapter 993: Sorry, not thank you.
[3 days before the inauguration]
According to Moose, Heaven had opened her eyes. However, she was unresponsive. She wasn’t responding to the external tests he had done, challenging his clinical practices. Moose said a coma patient could open their eyes, but that didn’t mean they were conscious. With the damages Heaven inflicted — the brain hemorrhage and her cardiac arrest during and after the operation — this might be a good or a bad sign.
With this news reaching Dominic, he immediately caught the earliest flight last night. He barely said goodbye to his children and talked to his parents, knowing he had too little time to travel back and forth across the globe.
"She’ll be fine, right?" Suddenly, from the other aisle of the private plane, Axel’s voice was heard. "My sister... I remember her in the morgue before. She didn’t have a pulse back then, and the doctors announced her death. Is this something like this, too?"
Dominic slowly turned his head, and his eyes instantly fell on the fear-stricken pair of eyes mirroring him. He didn’t plan to take Axel with him. However, Axel clung to him like a superglue, unwilling to let his brother go unless he allowed him to go. Hence the reason Axel was on this plane.
"I hope," answered Dominic. "I hope that’s the case."
"Just how did she end up in such a state again?"
Dominic looked away, setting his attention to the window. "I don’t know," he whispered. "I have no idea."
"Bro." Axel stopped, staring at his brother’s side profile.
