CHAPTER 620 ELLIOT SPEAKS

As soon as this was remarked, Henry and Yvonne both got up from their chairs in shock.

Henry asked again to confirm, "What did you say? You said that Hayden's awake?" If one listened carefully, they could hear his trembling voice.

It was obvious that Henry was happy and excited when Elliot woke up.

Sue said hurriedly, "Yes, the young Mr. Lancaster has just opened his eyes. Dr. Tom is checking on him now." Content © 2024.

Yvonne couldn't wait any longer. She rushed out of the door and ran towards Elliot's room.

Elliot was in a vegetative state because he saved her years ago.

She had always felt guilty for Elliot.

Now that Elliot was awake, she cared about him more than anyone else.

Henry saw Yvonne run out. He didn't stop her, but he raised his foot and followed her.

He knew why she ran so fast and he understood.

Although he was jealous, he knew clearly in his heart that it was impossible between her and Elliot.

Yvonne finally slowed down when she reached the door of Elliot’s room.

She looked at the wide-open door, clenched her fist, took a deep breath, and then she mustered the courage to step in.

As soon as she entered, she saw Elliot staring at the ceiling motionlessly with his eyes open as if he was absent-minded.

Dr. Tom stood beside him while holding a pen, and he seemed to be writing something.

Yvonne walked over lightly, looked at Elliot with teary eyes, and called his name in a broken voice, "Elliot...”

However, Elliot didn't seem to hear her and didn't respond.

If he hadn't opened his eyes, she would have thought that he wasn't awake yet.

Yvonne asked Dr. Tom quickly, "What's the matter?”

Henry came in at the same time and noticed that Elliot's situation wasn’t right. He looked at Dr. Tom, waiting for his explanation. 1

Dr. Tom put down his pen. "Well, Mr. Taylor just woke up, but his consciousness hasn't recovered yet.

However, he can still feel the outside world. He'll be able to respond to you when he regains his consciousness in a few hours."

After hearing the explanation, Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief, “That's good.”

She thought that Elliot was awake with only his eyes open and everything else was the same as when he was in a vegetative state.

"Sue," Henry turned to look at the door and called Sue who was coming outside with him.

Sue asked hurriedly, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Henry looked at Elliot. "Get in touch with the rehabilitation team immediately. Once Hayden regains consciousness, start the rehabilitation slowly s o that he can move freely as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll do it now." Sue nodded and went to do it immediately.

Yvonne wiped the corner of her eyes. "That’s very thoughtful of you. I'm immersed in the thought of him waking up. I didn't think of hiring a physiotherapist for him." 1

Henry said, "He's my brother. Of course, I'll be more considerate of him."

Yvonne said with a smile, "Now that Elliot's awake, when will you disclose his identity to the public?"

Originally, Henry was ready to disclose that Elliot was the second son of the Lancaster family six years ago. H e even arranged the date of joining the genealogy, but Elliot was involved in an accident, causing the outside world to not know that there was a second son in the Lancaster family.

Henry replied, "No need to rush on that matter. We'll wait till he can control his body.”

Yvonne nodded. "That's true. With his current situation, even if he regains his consciousness, he can't get out of bed and it's not easy for him to go meet people outside."

Henry checked his watch and reminded her, "Let's go. We'll come back to see Hayden later. It's time for his massage."

Yvonne answered softly, looked at Elliot whose eyes were blankly open, and then followed Henry out.

About a few hours later, Sue brought another piece of good news. Elliot was sober.

In other words, Elliot could respond.

Yvonne couldn't wait any longer and rushed to Elliot's room again. Meanwhile, Henry left the family residence two hours ago and went back to the Lancaster Group for a meeting.

"Dr. Tom," Yvonne first called Dr. Tom, and then looked at Elliot.

Elliot’s eyes were still open, but they were much more energetic than what they had seen before.

And now that he was conscious again, he felt that someone was looking at him. He turned his eyes slightly and looked at Yvonne.

His movements made Yvonne weep with joy.

Because she knew that he was really awake.

Yvonne called out to him hoarsely, "Elliot..."

She called his name with a heavy heart.

Dr. Tom, who was at the side, knew that she had a lot t o say to Elliot, but he didn't plan to stay any longer. He patted her on the shoulder and reminded her, "Miss Smith, the patient has just regained consciousness, so don’t talk to him for too long. You have to let him rest after half an hour. He'll be fine when he's fully adapted to it."

Yvonne replied, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Dr. Tom left the room at ease.

There were only two of them left in the room.

Yvonne sat down and held Elliot's hand tremblingly." Elliot, it's great that you're finally awake. Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day? Six years...”

Her tears began to roll down even more as she spoke.

Elliot's mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't control his body completely, so he couldn't make any sounds at the moment.

But Yvonne knew that he wanted to comfort her and tell her not to cry.

So Yvonne raised her head slightly, sniffed her nose, and tried her best to hold back her tears. She stopped crying and forced a smile. "I'm sorry, Elliot. I haven't come to see you in the past six years. I'm really sorry and thank you for saving me. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn’t be alive right now."

The bullet was aimed at her at that time, but Elliot blocked it for her so she could survive.

She was much shorter than Elliot. The bullet went through Elliot’s chest, which meant that the bullet was aimed at her head in the first place.

So if Elliot hadn’t blocked it for her, she would've been hit in the head and there was absolutely no way she’d be alive.

Because of this, she felt even more guilty and sorry for Elliot.

Although she was very glad that she survived, she always thought that if she could do it again, she wouldn't let him block the bullet for her because she didn't want anyone to suffer because of her.

Elliot heard Yvonne's words, but he couldn't speak. He could only blink her eyes to tell her that he didn't blame her.

Knowing that, Yvonne felt really guilty.

After that, Yvonne stayed with Elliot all the time and talked to him.

Half an hour later, Dr. Tom, who was outside the ward, knocked on the door and told her that time was up. 1

Although Yvonne still had a lot to say, she got up and left for the sake of Elliot’s recovery.

In the evening when Henry came back, he went to see Elliot once he knew that he was awake. He stayed in

Elliot’s room for half an hour, not knowing what he said to him.

Yvonne didn't ask but she looked forward to the next day silently.

Because the next day, she could see Elliot again.

And according to Dr. Tom, Elliot's body had been massaged regularly for the past six years and his muscles hadn't atrophied. So as long as he was awake, he would recover quickly.

Sure enough, the third day after Elliot woke up, he was able to speak and sit up with a little help, but he couldn't move much or get out of bed.

But he could raise his hands and do some other light movements.

When Elliot saw Yvonne coming, he suddenly asked about Theo, "Where's Theo? I haven't seen him yet."
