"By when can she wake up?" Ethan excitedly asked as he too was happy with this news.

"That can never be said for sure but the chances are higher of her waking up within a few months after the surgery. By the way, how did she end up being in this state of coma?" Daniel asked the two men as her reports didn't have this information. 

William tightly clutched his fist when he recollected that day and Ethan turned a bit nervous.

...

It was a few years ago when William and Liz planned to escape from Ethan as they kidnapped them and brought them to Ireland.

Ethan was a fellow classmate of Liz and Catherine and he was head over heels in love with Liz.

He proposed to her multiple times but she was never interested in him and therefore didn't respond positively.

When she did an internship in William's company, at that time she fell in love with William and later she clearly told Ethan there was someone else in her heart.

Ethan couldn't take this rejection well and continued pursuing her.

Once when William came to meet Liz in Dublin, Ethan attacked William only bringing the two love birds closer.

After a point he had to give up on Liz as Richardsons were powerful and they dealt with him in their way.

Later, Liz and William got married to each other and in a few years, they gave birth to a daughter, Rachel William Richardson.

They led a blissful life for a few years but unknown to them Ethan still did not give up on Liz and used to keep finding ways to get together with her.

Unexpectedly, one day someone from MN corporation contacted Ethan.

They had some hidden motive and they wanted to kill William, Liz and their daughter Rachel.

The person who contacted Ethan assumed he now hates the Richardsons and would want to get his revenge from them and assuming that he would be the perfect candidate for their plan, that person approached him.

He gave Ethan the task to attack the Richardsons on the way to a party by blasting their car and killing the entire family in one stroke.

Ethan agreed to their entire plan and promised to act along with it but unknown to the man from MN corporation, Ethan had his own other idea at the back of his mind.

He never got over Liz and was still in love with her so he decided to double-cross the man who gave him this task by portraying the Richardsons' death but in reality to save Liz from this attack.

Unexpectedly, that day Rachel was not well so James decided to stay home with her.

James' wife, William and Elizabeth went to the party and on the way they met with a car accident and their car was blasted but unknown to everyone else Ethan before this accident, kidnapped Liz, William and William's mother and he kept three fake bodies in the car and blasted it.

There were no remains left in the car so there was no way to verify who died.

But James saw the state of the car and he confirmed it belonged to his family, therefore everyone believed the three people died.

Ethan killed William's mother and next he was about to kill William too but Liz didn't let him.

Having no other choice, Ethan kidnapped Liz and William and took them to Ireland and kept them as his hostages.

But few years later, William and Liz, who observed the whole situation and had been planning to escape Ethan's clutches finally found an opportunity to run away but Ethan was able to chase them and in the fight that happened, he shot a bullet to kill William and Liz pushed William away from the way and accidentally got shot, she lost her balance and fell on a huge rock which was 1 meter long.

Her head was hit so hard that by the time she was taken to the hospital, she already fell in the state of coma.

At that time William was so shaken and scared of losing Liz that his mind was not functioning, he only wanted to hear his wife was fine and therefore he didn't run away although he had the chance to.

After Liz recovered, Ethan again brought the two people to the place where they were kept as hostages.

Ethan didn't kill William as he knew Liz almost sacrificed her life to save him and he couldn't let the sacrifice of the woman he loved go into waste.

Later, once Ethan confided in William and told him about why someone from MN corporation wanted to kill him, his wife and his daughter. He also informed him that his daughter's life was still in danger and the same guy who planned to kill them is now trying to kill their daughter.

William was shocked after knowing the truth, he had no idea their lives were so deeply entangled with MN corporation.

Ethan was able to successfully fool that person and protected William and Liz's life but the same was not the case with Rachel's.

Ethan's intention behind telling William the truth was so that he would leave Liz with him to protect his daughter but William decided to have faith in his father and stayed with his wife although he was always worried for his daughter but he was helpless.

Liz was never admitted in a hospital and Ethan took care of her from home.

But since the current situation demanded it Liz was taken to a hospital, but they did not mention how she ended up in the state of coma.

... 

"By the way, how did she end up being in this state of coma?" Daniel's question surprised the two men and they had no idea how to respond to it as they recollected the past.

"It was an accident, we all once went on a picnic, there she slipped and her head landed on a big huge rock, by the time we could reach the hospital she was in this state" Ethan finally cooked up a story and lied to Daniel.
