"How so?" Minerva muttered. Her heart also skipped a beat.

Then she comforted herself that the doctors would usually exaggerate the matters so that the family members and patients could be mentally prepared. But generally, the results would be much better than expected.

Upon thinking of this, Minerva finally felt a little more at ease.

"You said before that Mr. Yardley had lost his memory, didn't you?"

"That's right."

"The reason why he is in a coma now probably has something to do with his memory. Under normal circumstances, as long as he gets through this critical period, he should wake up in a day or two. But if the situation is unusual, it is possible that he would only wake up after three to four days, even four to five days, or even longer..."

Longer?

Upon hearing this, Minerva became a little perplexed.

"Mrs. Yardley, I know you are worried, but there is nothing much we can do."

"Does that mean... he may not... wake up?"

The doctor choked and said helplessly, "Mrs. Yardley, don't be too pessimistic. Try to see everything positively. The probability of Mr. Yardley ending up in a vegetative state is highly unlikely. Although Mr. Yardley had a severe brain injury in the past, he recovered well after that. So, you don't have to worry too much about something so low in probability."

Low in probability.

It meant that it was still possible.

It wasn't that Minerva wanted to think of the worstcase scenario; she was just worried. Minerva bit her lower lip and said, "Thank you, doctor. I understand." "No problem."

After the doctor left, Minerva sat alone on the long bench, weakly clasping on to her phone.

She hoped that Maddox would wake up after going through the critical period.

It didn't matter if he did not remember the past; she only wanted him to be safe.

Nothing else mattered as long as he was safe and sound.

If he could wake up this time, Minerva would definitely look after him and keep him by her side all day long. She would not allow him to recall his past or suffer any more torment. As long as he was safe and sound.

"Minerva?"

A tentative voice could be heard.

Minerva was pulled back from her distant consciousness. When she raised her head, she saw Abigail walking towards her with Jarold.

"Auntie."

"Grandpa."

Abigail found that Minerva looked extremely pale, so she quickly stepped forward to support her.

"Let's sit down and talk. Why do you look so pale? Are you not feeling well?"

After asking, Abigail remembered that she was pregnant. Her current pregnancy was already unstable, and Minerva still came to the hospital in a worried and fearful state. She would have to help with her pregnancy after this.

Although she was four months pregnant now, they should still try to avoid any unexpected complications.

"I'm fine."

"Why don't I accompany you to a check-up later? We can't let anything go wrong."

Minerva did not refuse; she nodded.

Jarold walked over. He had already accepted Minerva as his granddaughter-in-law. Furthermore, he had even given the precious diamond necklace to her as a greeting gift. After returning to the country, he had also been staying in the Ocean Villa.

Minerva and Jarold frequently met each other. So even if their relationship was not amiable before, after this period of getting along with each other, the relationship between them could be said to be very harmonious.

In addition, Beanie had helped with his impression of Minerva.

Thus, when he saw that Minerva was not looking good, Jarold was also a little worried.

"Are you all right? Abigail, you'd better take her to have a check."

"When have you started to care about your granddaughter-in-law? I thought you came here because of Maddox."

Hearing this, Jarold refuted displeasure. "What are you talking about? Can't I care for both of them? By the way, what is Maddox's condition? What did the doctor say?"

Minerva looked a little tired when this question was brought up.

"The doctor said that they need to continue observing his condition, so let's wait a little longer."

As for other things, she really did not have the strength to repeat.

"It's alright as long as he's fine. We won't be of much help anyway." Abigail turned his head and glanced at Jarold. "Old man, stay here while I take Minerva for a check-up."

Jarold was already used to being called an old man by Abigail. Now that he heard Abigail, he felt that he had no objection to this.

"Okay, take her there quickly. Remember to inform me in time if there is anything wrong."

Abigail rolled his eyes silently and then held Minerva's hand.

Lets go.

As the two of them walked forward, Minerva quietly looked at Abigail.

"Why are you looking at me?" Abigail looked confused.

Upon hearing this, Minerva smiled and said, "I feel much more energetic now that you have reconciled with Grandpa."

Upon hearing this, Abigail instantly became awkward.

"What do you mean by 'much more energetic1? Do you think I'm happy? The old man has been pestering me all day and doesn't know how annoying he is. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have stayed." Although her words were difficult and ruthless, Minerva could see some warmth in her eyes. Abigail had left home with her sister a long time ago. How could she not be eager for familial love?

If she didn't have familial love for Jarold, she wouldn't have been so angry for so many years.

"Actually, I still haven't forgiven him."

Abigail suddenly sighed and said, "I

can't forgive what he did in the past, but... I know he is getting old. It's becoming difficult for him to manage his company. I have also thought about not reconciling with him for the rest of my life. But then I realized that I can't get rid of the familial affections deep in my heart. He is still the father who loves us. Everyone makes mistakes and does foolish things in their lives; I also did many wrong things when I was young. I'm not a saint, and so is he. So, why should he do everything as I deem fit? So, although it still bothers me, I can get along with him now. At least... If anything happens in the future, I won't have any regrets."

Upon hearing this, Minerva understood what she was trying to express.

Abigail still did not forgive Jarold for what he had done in those days, but they shared the same blood in their veins. She still longed for this fatherdaughter relationship. Moreover, Jarold was old, and she was really afraid that if something really happened, she would regret it too much.

"Auntie, it's good that you cherish what you have now."

Abigail could not help but rub her head. "You also have to cherish what you have. Maddox will definitely be fine. All you need to do now is to take good care of yourself and the baby in your belly. As for the rest... We have to trust the doctor."

"You're right."

Later on, the results showed that Minerva's health was not very good, and it was slightly affecting her fetus. However, it was not a big deal. Minerva just needed to rest, not run around, and make sure not to fluctuate her mood too greatly, and she would be fine.

Abigail initially wanted to take her back home, but after thinking for a while, she said, "Why don't you stay in the ward for a while. You can take care of your baby while you wait for Maddox to wake up." Minerva was grateful Abigail understood that she wanted to stay and did not insist on having her

stay at home.

"Thank you, Auntie."
