Chapter 1104

Sean slowly walked toward the ICU, where John was moved after surgery.

His vitals were weak, and the doctors said that he would either live or never wake up.

It all depended on the patient-his fate was now beyond the realm of medical knowledge.

Sean quietly watched him, not quite able to describe how he felt.

Perhaps he found it a waste-he had come to admire John a long time ago, as he genuinely found theman to be a genius. He really would have liked to work with John and even entrust him the future of theCranstons.

But now, he lay on the bed in the ICU ward, his fate unknown.

Sean sighed-whatever happened to John now, there were things he must do for the man, such asbringing Richard over to keep him company.

This might be the last time Richard got to see his father, after all.

Patrick stayed at the hospital for a week.

Aside from the broken ribs, he had no other issues-his heart was fine too, which the doctors describedas a blessing in disguise.

Cordy stayed with him every day and was basically inseparable from him.

Sean visited often too, though he would be standing outside the ward and would never impose onPatrick or Cordy.

He spent most of his time checking on John instead, though he would be standing outside as well.

Somehow, he suddenly found a kindred spirit in the man.

Naturally, Sean had also brought Richard to the capital, and the boy often came to the hospital to stayat John’s side.

Though he was just ten years old, he was considerably more mature than his peers—he did not cry orthrow a fit seeing John in his miserable state and merely watched silently even though his eyes wereconstantly red.

He merely quietly prayed for a miracle.

The doctor had said that if John did not wake up soon, he would have less chance of waking up now.He also suggested family members should try talking to him to try to invoke his consciousness, so thathe actually woke up.

That was why Richard often visited and spoke to John-but the boy was never good with words, oftenstopping halfway as he would lose focus on what to talk about, and tears would cloud his vision again.

Sean would often go in to speak with John too, though he mostly spoke about serious matters.

For example, he had already submitted the evidence John obtained to the authorities and pulled stringsto ensure that the Lynds would be brought to justice. The key figures of the Lynd family had since beenarrested under criminal charges and were pending trial.

Compelled by public opinion, the authorities would have to arrange for the trial to be held sooner, and ifthere were no surprises, the Lynds’ influence would be utterly crushed in time.

It was now fated that the family be written out of history pages, and they would no longer be a threat toeveryone.

As for Nana, she remained comatose-no different from John’s condition after he rescued her from thefire.

The doctors gave her the same diagnosis: she had less chance of regaining consciousness the moretime passed, and she could either end up in a vegetative state or worse, lose her life.
