Chapter 753 Vegetative State
"Did you call Dashiell?" Seraphina asked.
Magnolia made herself look confident, "I did, he won't come."
"I know." Seraphina nodded silently.
In fact, she had seen through all of Dashiell's actions during this time.
Feelings really can't withstand betrayal or setbacks.
She had genuinely liked Sebastian back then, but later, she fell for Dashiell.
Dashiell was the same.
He liked her back then, and now he could not like her anymore.
"You and Dashiell are not suitable for each other," Magnolia said again, her tone firm.
She didn't want to feel like they were wronging Seraphina.
If there's no love, there shouldn't be any responsibility.
Dashiell's not coming wasn't his fault either.
"Yes." Seraphina nodded.
Yes, they were not suitable.
She wasn't good enough for Dashiell.
Magnolia wanted to say something more.
The door to the operating room suddenly opened.
Seraphina's heart skipped a beat.
At that moment, seeing the doctor walk out, she didn't dare to step forward, just staring blankly at the tired doctor.
Instead, Magnolia was the first to rush over, somewhat anxiously asking, "How is Atticus? How is he?"
The doctor sighed.
That sigh almost made Seraphina faint.
She was really afraid the doctor's next words would be, "We did our best."
If that were the case, what would she do?
"After emergency resuscitation, Atticus now has a pulse and is out of immediate danger, but he remains unconscious. When Atticus was brought in, he had not only lost a lot of blood, but we also found signs of bleeding in his brain. After performing a craniotomy to stop the bleeding, Atticus has shown no response. We suspect that the brain hemorrhage has caused neurological damage, and he is very likely to become a vegetative state," the doctor explained clearly.
At that moment, Seraphina felt like everything she heard was an illusion.
How could he become a vegetative state?
Isn't that something that only happens on TV? How could it happen to her?
Atticus, how could he lie in bed, motionless, from now on?
Magnolia also found it hard to accept.
When she brought Atticus in, the situation was indeed dire, but with today's advanced medical technology, and this being the best hospital in the Yakurosean Empire, with all the facilities and equipment, it shouldn't have been difficult to save Atticus. She never expected that Atticus would end up in a vegetative state.
Magnolia felt a bit distressed.
Even though she married Atticus back then just to hide her identity and survive with Dashiell, after so many years together, she had developed some feelings for Atticus. Hearing that he might become a vegetative state was hard to accept.
Magnolia couldn't help but glance at Seraphina.
Seeing Seraphina sitting in a wheelchair, her face pale, as if she no longer existed in this world, unable to accept such a blow.
"Is there any further treatment?" Magnolia asked the doctor.
"In fact, there are many miracles in medicine regarding vegetative states," the doctor said. "Some people may lie there for a lifetime, but some might suddenly wake up at any time, so we can't completely lose hope. We've encountered many patients who woke up quickly."
"So, you're saying it all depends on fate?" Magnolia looked at the doctor, meaning, is there no medical solution?
The doctor shook his head, "It really depends on a miracle, but rest assured, we will persist. If there's any possibility, we will do our best to wake Atticus."
Magnolia didn't know what else to ask.
It was obvious that most of what the doctor said was just to comfort them.
Meanwhile, Atticus was pushed out.
His face was pale.
Magnolia hurried over and called out to Atticus several times.
Atticus didn't respond at all.
At that moment, Seraphina mustered the courage and wheeled herself over.
She looked at Atticus, lying on the bed, clearly with a heartbeat, clearly breathing, but why couldn't he open his eyes anymore?
"Dad." Seraphina couldn't help but call him.
Atticus remained motionless.
"Dad, Dad, Daddy..." Seraphina called out, her voice filled with extreme sorrow.
Magnolia felt a bit heartbroken too.
She had always found Seraphina annoying.
But seeing Seraphina like this now, she felt a bit sorry for this innocent girl.
She said, her voice much gentler, "Let's take Atticus to the ward first. The doctor said miracles can happen. Maybe he'll wake up in the next moment."
Seraphina's tears flowed uncontrollably.
If only Atticus could wake up.
If only this hadn't happened.
The group pushed Atticus to a private ward.
After everything was settled.
The medical staff left.
Only Magnolia and Seraphina remained.
Seraphina kept looking at Atticus.
She had never seen him so weak.
She always thought Atticus was strong, never falling no matter what happened.
But now, he had fallen.
And might never wake up.
Seraphina's tears flowed uncontrollably, her body trembling and choking with sobs.
Magnolia couldn't bear to watch anymore.
She was afraid Seraphina might cry herself into a faint.
She said, "Crying won't help now. It's better to talk to Atticus. Maybe if he hears your voice, he'll wake up. I've seen many vegetative patients wake up this way."
Seraphina looked at Magnolia with tear-filled eyes, clearly not believing her.
"I know you're in pain, but think about it. If you're in so much pain, wouldn't Atticus be in more pain? He did all this for you, not to see you live in sorrow, but to see you live better. Whether Atticus wakes up or not, you shouldn't stay in pain. You should live well, to make Atticus feel at ease," Magnolia persuaded.
Seraphina bit her lip.
She understood the reasoning, but she couldn't calm herself down.
She couldn't accept that Atticus was lying there, motionless.
"Seraphina, now that Atticus has fallen, the road ahead is up to you," Magnolia said seriously, with some concern.
She really didn't think Seraphina could take care of herself.
Seraphina had never been an independent person.
"I won't say more." Magnolia couldn't continue.
At this moment, Seraphina needed time to vent her emotions.
No one could stay calm in such a situation.
Magnolia wasn't as indifferent as she appeared.
She couldn't accept Atticus's condition either.
She was just better at hiding her emotions than Seraphina.
