Chapter 189 The Inner World of Children
Fiorello immediately went to find a doctor and informed the doctor about the situation where Maggie moved her fingers.
The doctors rushed over to examine Maggie, but there was no sign of her waking up.
The doctor said, "Mr. Flores, this should be a subconscious stress response in the patient, but having this reaction is also a good thing, indicating that the patient still has some perception of the outside world."
Fiorello frowned and asked, "How long until she wakes up?"
"About that..."
Several doctors looked at each other, seeming quite troubled.
"In that case, it might take a few weeks or months, or even longer, depending on the patient's own willpower. But now that the patient is showing this stress response, as long as you accompany her and talk to her more, I believe she will wake up soon."
In fact, there was no definite answer.
Adalia sadly held Maggie's hand. "Mrs. Flores, please wake up soon; Adalia misses you."
These were words Adalia wouldn't have said before.
But looking at the unconscious Maggie, Adalia subconsciously said these words, feeling very sad herself.
Adalia felt very upset.
Mrs. Flores was the best person she had ever met, who would hold her and tell her stories.
After Adalia started kindergarten, she learned that other mothers would also tell stories to their children.
Adalia liked the stories Mrs. Flores told.
Fiorello sighed wearily and waved to signal the doctors to leave.
Even though Fiorello had already brought in the best doctors, they could only wait for a miracle.
In the following days, Fiorello would take Adalia to the hospital every day to see Maggie, as it was during Adalia's school time, and the Barlow couple had no idea.
Susan wouldn't care for Adalia; Mr. Wright was busy working, often staying at a construction site for several months at a time, with no time to spare.
There were no signs of Maggie waking up, lying in bed in a vegetative state.
Dulce and Emily also visited every day, and after Isabella learned about Maggie's condition, she and Olivia went to the hospital to visit Maggie.
After Fiorello took Adalia to see Maggie, he dropped her off at school.
Today, there was a parent-child activity at Adalia's kindergarten, but Susan wouldn't be able to attend. When Adalia arrived at the kindergarten gate and saw Fiorello about to leave, she gathered her courage and asked, "Uncle Fiorello, can you accompany me to the school activity?"
The parents of other children would all be there, but Adalia's parents couldn't make it.
After a moment of thought, Fiorello took Adalia's hand and went in.
Adalia smiled happily.
On the kindergarten playground, many children were getting ready for the parent-child activity.
The parents of the children also arrived one after another.
Fiorello and Adalia sat on a small bench. "Adalia, are you prepared to perform?"
Fiorello saw that some of the children had changed into performance costumes.
Adalia shook her head, her voice soft. "No, I'm trained for nothing."
Fiorello patted Adalia's head. "It's okay. You started school later than them, so take your time to learn; you're the best."
Being encouraged, Adalia smiled. "Got it, Uncle Fiorello; I will study hard."
Adalia, who was over four years old, knew that having the opportunity to go to school was not easy.
At this moment, a child ran over. "Adalia, Adalia, this is your dad, he's so handsome."
Hearing someone mistake Uncle Fiorello for her father, Adalia smiled and said, "No, this is my Uncle Fiorello. Uncle Fiorello, this is my friend, Anna."
Adalia liked Fiorello, but she also liked her father.
In Adalia's heart, Alan Wright was her father. Although he spent little time with her, she could feel that he was good to her. He would secretly take her to eat delicious food without telling her mother.
Adalia grew up in an orphanage, but when Mr. Wright adopted her, she was not yet three years old and couldn't remember anything.
On the day Mr. Wright and Susan went to adopt her, the head of the orphanage brought her to the couple and said, "Adalia, these are your father and mother; they've come to take you home."
Adalia always thought that Alan and Susan were her parents.
Upon hearing Adalia's introduction, Fiorello felt a bit lost for some reason.
When Anna mistook him for Adalia's father just now, Fiorello felt a strange feeling in his heart.
During this time, Fiorello spent a lot of time with Adalia, and the little girl was more adorable and considerate than the boys. In the hospital, she even learned how to wash Maggie's face and hands from him.
Sometimes, Fiorello would have the illusion that Adalia was his daughter.
Fiorello greeted Anna gently, "Hello, Anna."
Anna politely replied, "Hello, Uncle Fiorello."
