Chapter 909

“Friends?” Kenny derided.

“How dare you say that?” Neil gave Kenny a sidelong glance but was interrupted by his phone ringing.

He fished out his phone to find a call from Greta and immediately picked it up.

“Neil!” Greta exclaimed excitedly.

“Carol is awake!” Neil’s hand trembled, and his throat tightened at the news.

“She’s awake? Really?” “What?” Flabbergasted, Kenny asked, “Is she awake and out of danger?”

Greta sobbed and said, “Yeah! You and Kenny should come now!” “Okay.” Neil hurried out of the private room.

“We’ll be on our way there.” Watching them leave, Scott took up his seat on the sofa again.

Calmly, he made a call and instructed, “Do it.” “Okay, Mr.

Hendrix.” Neil drove fast on the way back to the hospital, and Kenny even played the music in the car.

After getting on the bridge, Kenny lowered the car window and took a deep breath of the refreshing air.

” Caroline is awake, Neil, and I feel the air is freaking fresh now!” Smiling, Neil agreed, “Yeah, Carol is pretty tough.

It’s only the fourth day, isn’t it?” “Well, to be more specific, it’s three days and a half.

The doctor said it would take five days, didn’t he?” Kenny sought clarification.

Neil nodded.

“Yes.” “I’m excited!” Kenny put his palms together and looked up at the sky.

“God must have heard my prayers and helped Caroline wake up.” “Prayers?” Doubtfully, Neil glanced at Kenny.

“What did you say?” “I said I was willing to exchange my life for Caroline to wake upl” Kenny replied seriously.

Stunned, Neil rebuked, “How could you say that casually?” Kenny waved.

“Alas, it’s just a prayer.

It wouldn’t be true.

Neil-” A truck hit the rear of Neil’s car and interrupted Kenny’s words.

Neil immediately braked the car because of the sudden strong impact.

But he didn’t expect the truck to keep charging forward and hitting his car against the bridge’s iron railing.

Neil and Kenny’s minds went blank the moment they were lifted in midair and fell hard into the river with the car.

When Caroline woke up in the hospital, the doctor came and performed a simple check–up on her.

He removed the ventilator for her when he found that her vitals were steady.

Caroline was muddled–headed, and her limbs were weak, but she remembered that she was shot twice in the chest.

She wondered if she had survived the calamity.

Blinking, she looked around in exhaustion and a trance.

When she saw the two people standing outside the glass window, guilt grabbed her heart because her uncle and aunt seemed to have aged a lot.

She didn’t even know if the children were at the hospital, and she wished to hug them and comfort them for worrying and frightening them.

After the doctor had finished the check–up, he informed Caroline, “You need to rest more before you can leave the ICU, Ms.

Shenton.” Caroline blinked weakly to express her understanding.

The doctor nodded and left the ICU.

When Greta and Thomas saw the doctor out of the ward, they immediately went over with the children.

“How’s she doing, doctor? Is she out of danger?” Greta asked anxiously.

The doctor removed his mask and smiled.

“Yeah, she’s pretty strong.

It surprised me that she could wake up so soon.” Greta was finally relieved after gaining the doctor’s reassurance.

Thomas grabbed the doctor’s hand and thanked the latter profusely.

“Thank you, doctor.

Thank you so much!”
