Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) -
Chapter 717
The originally cheerful Wilson's residence fell into a gloomy atmosphere. No one could see a smile on anyone's face.
Meanwhile, the aura around Trevon was extremely depressing. Apart from Trevon, Jasper was also the same. Jasper was originally a man of few words, but now, he barely said anything all day. With a cold face, he walked in and out without saying a word. Ruby quietly accompanied him.
When he said nothing, she tried to persuade him to speak, hoping he would release some of his emotions. She was afraid that he would collapse from holding it in.
The maids in the Wilson's residence also did not dare to breathe loudly and worked with extreme focus.
Mary went to see Sophia early in the morning. After seeing Sophia, Mary wiped her tears and carried her bag to the Wilson family's cemetery. Rachel did not stop her. When Gage was around, Mary could still discuss and chat with Gage.
Now that only Mary was left, she looked lonely. Mary was also used to chatting with Theo and Constance. Mary did not feel pressured when talking to their tombstones. She could say anything.
Rachel and Caleb let Mary be. They only instructed the driver to send Mary over and pick her up.
After dinner, a group of people walked into the Wilson's residence. They were led by Rose and Edward, followed by Chris, Leia, and Stella.
Rachel was downstairs with Caleb. When she saw so many people coming in, she knew why they were there. She stood up and picked up a blanket to cover Caleb's legs. She went to welcome them and said, "Natalie and Trevon are upstairs. You guys can go up."
Rose nodded. She wasn't as playful and lively as usual. "Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, I'll go up and have a look."
Rachel nodded, and the group went upstairs. At this moment, everyone forgot to exchange pleasantries and only nodded in greeting.
Rose stood at Sophia's door and knocked three times softly. After knocking three times, Rose did not knock again. She just waited quietly at the door. After a while, the door was opened. It was Natalie in her pajamas.
Seeing the group of people standing outside the door, Natalie's heart warmed. She was touched. She turned sideways, and Rose walked over to hug Natalie.
Natalie hugged her back. "I'm fine."
Rose knew Natalie wasn't okay, but she didn't expose Natalie. On the way here, Edward had told Rose not to say too much when she saw Sophia. At this moment, their mood was the worst. Many emotions were suppressed.
Rose remembered. She didn't say anything and just gave Natalie a comforting hug. Stella also hugged Natalie.
Leia's short wolf cut hair had grown long. Her hair was now wavy and tied into a braid. Chris walked in front. Leia did not hug Natalie. She had always appeared reserved. She only walked over and patted Natalie's shoulder.
There was no need to say anything.
Natalie pulled out from the arms of Rose and Stella. She forced a smile and tried to tell them that she was okay.
Edward didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say either. It seemed inappropriate to say anything. He walked to Trevon's side and patted his shoulder. Under such an atmosphere, it was inappropriate to say anything.
Trevon did not stand up. Chris also patted his shoulder. Then, he bent down and took the examination instrument from his pocket. He opened Sophia's eyelids. Then, he used the stethoscope. He narrowed his eyes. All the indicators were good.
Then, there was only one outcome, which was what Trevon had said to him on the phone. Sophia was agitated and did not want to wake up. There were some things that she could not accept, so she chose to escape.
Edward did not ask what happened. He just stared at Sophia's scarred face. His heart ached. His good-looking eyebrows were knitted together. He thought that if his daughter became this way, he might break down, too.
At this moment, he admired Trevon's calmness. Perhaps Trevon was also breaking down inwardly. Edward thought inwardly and asked Chris how it was.
Trevon did not seem to care about Chris's answer. After a night, he had already accepted the worst-case scenario. As long as Sophia was still alive, he could accept it even if she had to lie in bed for the rest of her life. As long as she was still alive, there would be a day when she would wake up.
He just hoped that Sophia would not make him wait too long. He hoped that she would wake up while he was still alive.
Chris did not dare to confirm the exact time Sophia would wake up. He was afraid of giving his friend hope and disappointment, so he only said in an affirmative tone, "Sophia will wake up. Once the knot in her heart is resolved, she will wake up. Talk to her more often and bring her round."
Trevon's expression did not change. He nodded expressionlessly as if he had already expected this outcome. Many doctors had said this to him when they were overseas.
He knew that there was a knot in Sophia's heart. She isolated herself because she could not accept some things.
All indicators of Sophia's test results were good, but she had been in a coma and could not wake up. No matter how Trevon chatted with Sophia, her eyes remained closed.
She had completely isolated herself from the external environment.
They stayed in the room for a while before leaving.
Natalie sent them downstairs. As soon as they came downstairs, they met Jasper and Ruby, who had just returned from outside. Jasper nodded politely and exchanged pleasantries. His lips were also tightly pursed as if they were glued together and could not be opened.
Ruby was also in a low mood. She greeted them in a low voice. Rose and Edward were not surprised that Ruby was here.
Before leaving, Edward simply instructed Ruby, "Call me if there's anything."
Ruby said, "Okay, I got it. Bye, Edward, Rose."
Stella had not said a word from the moment she came in until she left. Before she left, she hugged Natalie again. "Call me if you need me. I can come over anytime."
Natalie said, "Thank you."
Rose also hugged Natalie. "There's no need for thanks between good friends."
In the past, she only had Sherri. Now, she had Rose, Ava, Stella, Christina, Leia, and many people who loved her. Natalie's thoughts drifted for a few seconds, and she smiled reassuringly again.
Leia patted Natalie's shoulder and made a phone call gesture. She nodded and followed everyone. After leaving the Wilson's residence, all the women cried. Their minds were filled with Sophia's injured look. Their hearts ached.
Chris hugged Leia and comforted her. "Sophia will wake up."
Leia pressed the corner of her eyes with her fingers and took a deep breath. Stella was already crying softly. The clothes she was wearing today were white. She directly pulled Chris's arm beside her to wipe her tears.
Chris didn't retract his arm. He had no choice but to dote on his sister.
In the car, Edward did not start the car. After bidding farewell to Chris, he had been patiently coaxing Rose, who was crying. Rose was an emotional person. She had been holding back her tears just now, but now she could no longer hold it in.
Two streams of tears kept falling from her eyes, making Edward's heart ache. He coaxed her gently as he wiped her tears with a tissue. "Don't cry. Sophia will be fine."
Rose was sobbing. Edward was afraid if the car stopped for too long, Natalie would notice something amiss, adding to their worries. In the end, he started the car and left. After some distance from the Wilson's residence, Edward stopped the car on the side of the road and turned off the engine.
He continued to coax Rose patiently. Rose was still crying. She sobbed, "Look at Sophia. Natalie must be so sad. I saw that she had lost weight and there were dark circles under her eyes. She definitely didn't sleep the entire night. Hubby..."
Edward saw that she paused for a while and took a tissue. He gently wiped her tears, hugged her comfortingly, and patted her back.
As soon as she spoke, Rose cried even harder. She took a deep breath and leaned on Edward's shoulder. She continued in a nasal voice, "Did you see Trevon's white hair just now? I saw it. How sad he must have been to have his hair turned white overnight. Natalie must be so sad. Jasper was so quiet."
Edward saw it. When he patted Trevon's shoulder just now, he saw a lot more white hair on Trevon's head, and some had just appeared. Therefore, he could not replace any words to comfort Trevon. He could only pat Trevon's shoulder simply because nothing said could beat Sophia waking up. Since Sophia was still in a coma, anything said would be nonsense to Trevon. It was better not to say anything.
He did not tell Rose that he had seen Trevon's white hair. He just comforted her silently. "Don't worry. Didn't Chris say that Sophia's indicators are quite good? Sophia is just agitated. She wants to sleep for a while and will wake up. Later, call Harper and tell him to come back tomorrow. He doesn't have to stay on campus. Let those children accompany and chat with Sophia every day. Perhaps Sophia's knot will be resolved."
Immediately, Rose sent a message to Harper, saying, [Son, get ready. We'll pick you up immediately.]
Then, she said to Edward, "Hubby, let's pick up Harper now."
Edward looked at Rose's red and swollen eyes and reminded, "Rose, even if you bring Harper back now, tomorrow is Thursday. Harper still has to go back to school for class. Let's pick him up tomorrow afternoon."
Rose thought about it and felt that it made sense. If she brought Harper back tonight, he could not chat with Sophia. It was not good to disturb her so late. Rose thought about it and said, "Alright, I'll tell Harper. Seeing that Rose was convinced, Edward restarted the car and left.
At Athana University.
Harper, who had received the message, was playing games. After reading Rose's message, he felt puzzled. He wondered why she was picking him up so late at night.
He replied, [Mom, are we going somewhere for dinner tonight?]
The news of Sophia's coma had been blocked by Trevon. Only a few close friends in Athana knew about it. Frank had also given an order that whoever revealed it would have to bear the consequences. Rose texted, [It's okay. I'll tell you tomorrow. From tomorrow onwards, you will stay at home. You don't have to stay on campus.]
Harper sent a message with a question mark to Rose. He liked to stay on campus. He liked it very much. When he was at home, he had to help his younger brothers with their homework. If he tutored them wrongly, he would have to be punished as well. It was very unreasonable. He texted, [Mom, I think it's too troublesome to pick me up every day. Gas is expensive. I'd better stay on campus. If you miss me, bear with it. I'll be back the day after tomorrow.]
Of course Rose knew what Harper was thinking. She texted, [You'll know when you come back tomorrow. I need your help with something.]
Harper thought he had to help with homework and was very reluctant. He texted, [Mom, can I not stay at home?]
This time, Rose's stance was especially firm. She had never been so firm before. As long as it was of help to Sophia, she was willing to pick up Harper every day. She texted, [No, you have to stay at home. Otherwise, I'll get your father to call you.]
Harper compromised in a second, and his expression changed instantly. He texted, [I'll go home. There's no need to go through so much trouble. I think it's good to go home. I can see you guys every day.]
