CHAPTER 406 DOWNFALL OF THE TAYLOR GROUP

"Well..." Shane rubbed his chin and replied hesitantly," I won't say he can still be saved, but it will take a miracle."

"A miracle?" Yvonne was taken aback and she clasped the clothes on her stomach. "You mean, a miracle like mine?"

"Something like that. You’ve probably heard of many examples of vegetative patients suddenly waking up after being in a coma for years or decades. It's happened in the history of medicine."

Yvonne nodded. "I've heard that on the news some time ago."

"Yes, the hospital deduced that they wouldn't wake up at the beginning, but somehow because of a miracle, they eventually woke up, and that's truly a miracle. Of course, this may sound a little complicated. To put it simply, there needs to be a motive," Shane said solemnly as he put his hand in the pocket of his white coat.

"A motive?" Yvonne said these two words in a low voice.

Shane pushed up his glasses. "Yes, a motive. More than 80% of vegetative patients wake up because of a motive. The motive may be something they heard during their deep sleep and that made them wake up.

So if you can talk to Elliot more for the next two weeks, maybe he'll wake up."

Yvonne pursed her lips and she didn’t look too happy after hearing his method. On the contrary, her eyebrows furrowed even more.

"I heard...vegetative patients may end up in two situations, one of which is brain death, and the other i s when one’s consciousness breaks away and enters another dimension so the patient won’t

be able to find their way back. The method you just mentioned earlier is probably for the latter, so what kind of condition is Elliot in?"

This was what she cared about the most.

If Elliot was brain-dead, then he could never wake up, and there would be no miracles.

If it was a detachment of consciousness, then there was hope. Just like Shane said, they could talk to Elliot more so maybe he could hear their voices in that dimension and wake up.

But if it was really brain death...

Yvonne shivered and didn’t dare to think about it anymore.

Shane saw her worries and remained silent for a few seconds before speaking again, "We can't tell yet. It takes a period of time to determine whether a vegetative patient is brain dead or detached from consciousness, and that was the two weeks I was telling you about."

"In other words, after two weeks, we'll find out about Elliot’s condition?" Yvonne looked at him.

Shane said, "Yes, that's why I asked you to talk to Elliot more for these two weeks, so maybe you guys could try to wake him up. As long as he wakes up, he'll be fine. If he can't wake up, then it may be brain death, or it maybe consciousness detachment."

"I get it now!" Yvonne's heart sank to the bottom and both her hands were tightly clasped. "Henry and I will try to wake him up." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"That's good, you guys can do this." Shane nodded his head then lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes as he left the ward.

What he didn’t say was that no matter how hard they tried, the chances of Elliot waking up were not high.

Elliot would probably end up as a vegetative patient anyway. As for the type of his vegetative state, it would take two weeks before he could come to a conclusion.

The reason why he would tell her to ask her to talk to Elliot as much as possible, aside from wanting to see i f there could be a miracle, it was actually to give her a little hope so she would not blame herself too much.

The door of the ward closed again and Yvonne leaned on the pillow. Her pale face was full of sadness.

Sue was very distressed watching her like that. She asked, "Madam, are you worried about the second

master?"

Yvonne answered as she rubbed her aching temples," Yes, I'm really worried that I won't be able to wake him up in two weeks."

"No, I believe the second young master will wake up," Sue said.

Yvonne forced a smile reluctantly, "I hope. Sue, please help me up."

"Madam, do you want to go to the bathroom?" Sue bent over and pulled out a small pail from under the bed.

When Yvonne saw the pail, her eyes widened and she had a bad feeling in her heart. She trembled and asked, "Sue, what’re you doing?" 1

She hoped that it was not a potty for her, but it turned out that it actually was.

Sue put the pail aside and explained with a smile, "It's a potty, madam. It's not convenient for you to go to the toilet on a drip, so you can just use this."

After she said that, she was about to help Yvonne up.

Yvonne repeatedly waved her hands and shook her head to avoid her. Her little face was full of repulse. "N o, no, no... Sue, please take it away!"

She refused to go to the toilet like that.

"But..." Sue wanted to say something.

Yvonne hurriedly said again, "Oh, Sue, I don’t have a broken arm or a broken leg. Why would I use that?

You can help me up so I can go to the bathroom."

"Okay." Seeing her persistence, Sue had to give up on the idea of her using the potty so she carefully helped her down from the hospital bed, and then took her to the bathroom with a drip stand.

After going to the bathroom, Yvonne didn’t go back to the hospital bed. Instead, she asked Sue to help her go to the ICU so she could see Elliot.

Elliot passed the critical stage and could now accept visitors, so Yvonne entered the ICU ward smoothly.

However, she couldn't be in direct contact with him. She could only sit beside the bed and watch him or talk to him, and she couldn't speak too loud or too long.

Therefore, Yvonne tried to talk to Elliot about some important topics, such as some major events that had happened in the Lancaster family for the past two decades, as well as Henry and her concerns about him.

As she went on, she also observed Elliot's eyelids and fingers to see if there was any movement.

If so, it meant that he could hear what she said, and his consciousness was there, so he had a greater chance of waking up within the next two weeks.

But after she spoke for so long, he did not move at all— he was just like a dead person and it made Yvonne's heart sink.

At this time, Sue appeared at the glass window outside the ICU ward and made a gesture to her to get

her to come out.

Yvonne looked at Elliot before standing up while holding onto the hospital bed railing and walked out gently.

"Sue, what's the matter?" she asked when she came out.

Sue couldn’t hide the surprise on her face. "Madam, good news!"

"What's the good news?" Yvonne teased her hair.

She had not cut her hair for a long time and it was now long, almost reaching her shoulders.

But the hair that she lost from before had not grown back.

That was why her hair was not as full as before, visually or physically.

"Of course it's good news from sir," Sue said.

When Yvonne heard the words, her expression lit up and her eyes were filled with excitement. "Henry caught Shaw?"

"No, it's the Taylor Group." Sue shook her head.

Yvonne frowned and the excitement in her eyes faded slightly. "The Taylor Group?"

"Yes, the Taylor Group has gone bankrupt!" Sue said loudly, rejoicing in the misfortune that had happened.

Yvonne was in a daze for a few seconds before reluctantly recovering from her trance. Her voice could not hide the fluctuations in her emotions." They've really gone bankrupt?"

"Really!" Sue nodded. "Joe called to tell me just now, so there should be reports in the news now. Madam, take a look."

"Okay, I'll check it out now," Yvonne responded and took her mobile phone out as she started searching for news about the bankruptcy of the Taylor Group.

Plenty of search results came up, among which the most striking one was a video.
