At this moment, Chris was still very weak. He moved his eyes with difficulty to see Alan. He was breathing heavily, as if he couldn't get enough oxygen for his brain. Chris's eyes flickered slowly, trying to process what he saw before him.
In the next second, his eyes moved away from his cousin and fell on Merry's face. His eyes, which initially looked blurry after sleeping for a long time, now focused on the young woman. He breathed a sigh of relief and forced himself to speak.
"Come here!" Chris called to Merry.
Completely ignored by Chris, Alan stood there with an expression of disbelief. It turned out that he was ignored not because Chris didn't have enough energy to talk, but that man was deliberately saving his energy to talk to other people. Was this how the so-called good brother should be?!
On the sofa, Lilia also looked really surprised. Only after she saw Chris speak with her own eyes did Lilia really feel that the man was awakened by Merry. If it weren't for the words that the young woman said, Chris might still be in a coma until now.
Lilia glanced at Merry, who looked as surprised as she was. Lilia nudged the young woman's arm and gestured towards Chris. "Merry, go," she urged.
Merry really was the hero of them all!
Lilia did think that Merry could wake Chris up. They were supposed to call the young woman back to Indonesia on the first day Chris had an accident. Maybe then, everyone wouldn't be anxious for so long.
The power of love was truly impressive!
After Lilia reminded Merry, the girl stood in a daze, and moved to the bed step by step like a doll driven by a rope. Merry's large eyes were fixed on Chris' figure, with obvious disbelief.
"B... Brother Chris ...?" She carefully opened her mouth and called out to the man.
Merry's eyes were filled with a glow that she could not hide. Neither why nor how he woke mattered to Merry. The most important thing was that the man finally opened his eyes again. Without her knowing it, tears welled up in her big eyes, threatening to spill out.
Chris's heart ached when he saw Merry's appearance as she almost cried. The man looked at her without blinking, then he lifted his index finger slightly and moved it, telling Merry to come closer. "What did you just say, hmm?" Chris demanded.
Chris seemed to have heard the young woman say that she was going to live abroad forever. This sentence made him so angry that he jolted to his consciousness.
During his coma, Chris had a very difficult time. His body felt weak and heavy. Even so, Chris could always hear lots of people talking to him. However, he couldn't open his eyes or reply to their words.
Perhaps, the reason why Merry was able to wake Chris up was the young woman's position in Chris's heart. When Merry said she would never come back again, it was those words that stimulated his nerves and made Chris angry enough to come back to his senses.
At this meeting, Merry looked at Chris with gusto. She stepped forward and took Chris's hand, "Thank God Brother Chris finally woke up! I thought that you were going to be a vegetable!"
Chris automatically lost the words he wanted to say when he heard Merry's chatter.
Alan, who was standing on the side of the bed, heard the same words. He immediately took a step back from Merry while staring at the woman with a dumbfounded expression.
Even Lilia could only hold her forehead with a helpless expression. She shook her head and laughed bitterly.
At this time, hearing Merry's gentle and sad tone made Chris feel very uncomfortable. He was most afraid that Merry would cry, and he wanted to comfort her no matter what. But with his current state he couldn't do that.
Chris lowered his gaze and saw Merry tugging at his long, slender fingers. The young woman nearly broke his joint by pulling his fingers too hard while crying. It hurt a little bit, but Chris didn't say anything. He felt lucky for the attention that Merry showed to him.
This was proof that Merry still cared about him!
Chris just woke up and couldn't move too much. Even speaking was difficult for him. However, there was nothing that couldn't be done in the name of love. Chris slightly raised his fingertips and rubbed Merry's palms.
"Don't cry anymore!" The man said hoarsely.
When Chris finished speaking, Merry stared at him in tears. "Then, don't sleep again! I won't cry if you can promise me that!"
Everyone in this ward automatically looked away. They felt like third-wheeling a couple and being forced to watch a romance drama before their eyes.
Among them all, the one who was shaken the most by this drama was Alan. What was this? Merry was Samuel's little daughter! Even so, were they seriously in love with each other?!
Wasn't this absurd? Chris might be six years older than Merry, but he was only seven years younger than Merry's father! If the two of them came out together, this generation would be in chaos!
Alan was still deep in thought when the doctor he had summoned finally arrived. Seven or eight medics walked into the ward at once and carried out a very thorough examination of Chris.
Finally, the medical experts came to the same conclusion. There were no physical abnormalities and he would recover after a simple rehabilitation. After all, the man was in a coma for half a month.
This good news caused everyone to heave a sigh of relief. They had been worrying about Chris's condition for so long, and this news made breathing easier.
Merry was the most to feel relieved, she was able to let go of her tension after hearing the news. Her knees suddenly went limp and she had to cling to the chair.
Jean noticed Chris's pale face from standing beside the bed. His friend repeatedly stole glances at Merry with a satisfied look.
The corners of Jean's mouth lifted into a faint smile as he joked in a deep voice, "You seem so proud to have been stabbed by someone. Would you like to try another shot?"
Chris glanced at Jean and moved slowly to cover his chest. He gave him a painful look and protested, "Jean, can't you just be nice to me just for once? I'm a patient now! What would you do if what you said shook me up?"
Seeing Chris's movement, Merry immediately leaned towards the man. She put her little hand on the back of Chris's hand in a panicked expression and asked, "Brother Chris, does your wound hurt? Don't sleep again, or I'll be going to America soon!"
Chris turned to Merry, wide-eyed. He felt that the young woman's words were very shocking. Chris had planned to use this excuse to scare Merry in the future, but why was this woman's reaction so cute?!
Alan squinted while watching the interaction between Merry and Chris.. A few seconds later, he shook his head. He didn't expect that there would be a day when he saw his cunning cousin get defeated by a little girl!
