Newton felt surprised and terrible for Alyssa. You’re still outside the hospital even though it’s so late. You silly goose! What are you going to do if you freeze to death?”
“Grandpa Newton… I want to see Jeremy… But… I can’t get in…”
“Oh, silly. With me here, who’s going to stand in your way?”
Newton’s energetic voice gave Alyssa a firm sense of security.
“Ben and I are on our way to the hospital. Don’t stand out in the cold, Alyssa. Go in and wait for us. Wait for me to come and be your support. I’d like to see who has the guts to bully my dear Alyssa!”
In less than half an hour, Newton, being pushed by Ben in a wheelchair, arrived at the hospital to meet with Alyssa and Sean.
The four of them rushed to the VIP ward.
Walsh Group’s bodyguards stood firmly outside the door. But with Newton around, none of them dared stand in his way. They bowed to him as they made way for the four of them to enter.
“Jeremy, my dear grandson!”
Newton stood up from his wheelchair eagerly. With Ben’s support, he stumbled toward the side of Jeremy’s bed.
Jeremy’s face was pale as he leaned against the headboard of his bed. His dazzling eyes were dark and vacant. Looking at Jeremy, Newton couldn’t hold himself back. Tears started streaming down his face.
“Jeremy, it’s good news that you’re awake. That’s the most important thing!” Javier let out a long exhale.
Even though he didn’t shed a tear, he had been extremely worried these days. He couldn’t eat or sleep well, and those long nights had resulted in the dark circles under his eyes. “M-Madam!”
Xavier, whom they hadn’t seen in a while, spotted Alyssa standing stiffly at the door to the ward, afraid to come in. With tears in his eyes, he ran over to her.
He choked, “Mr. Jeremy is awake. Hurry up and go to him!”
Before stepping into the hospital ward, Alyssa couldn’t wait to see Jeremy, so much so that she felt like her heart was about to explode and her insides were about to be crushed.
Yet, now that she was here, she realized she had become cowardly. She couldn’t believe that she was too embarrassed to walk in. She didn’t have the guts to face the Walsh’s.
Jeremy ended up in this state because of her. Filled with extreme regret, she didn’t know what to do, and there was no place for her to hide.
What madam? There is no madam in the Walsh family!” Javier roared, pointing right at Xavier’s face. “‘Xavier Hall! If I am to hear you calling her ‘Madam’ one more time, you will be fired immediately. We will never hire you again, no matter who requests it!”
Xavier bit down hard on his lip in anger, so much so that blood started trickling from his bottom lip. Only then was he able to stomach the hatred within him.
He wasn’t afraid of being fired, losing his annual salary of 100,000 dollars, or losing his glorious title as the president’s secretary.
Justin had returned out of the blue. Jeremy, on the other hand, despite being conscious, was in a far worse mental state than before.
At a time like this, he had to stay unwaveringly by Jeremy’s side. He couldn’t leave no matter what.
“Javier, I’ve really had enough of you!”
Newton walked shakily before Javier. He was so mad that his cheeks were trembling. Let me say this today. As long as I’m here, no one can touch Alyssa. It will not end well for anyone who disrespects her!”
Javier was boiling with so much anger that his chest hurt. ‘Dad! You’re
“Moreover, Jeremy has regained consciousness. This is all in the past now.”
The look in Newton’s eyes was resolute, reflecting his stance in standing up for Alyssa. “If you ever lash your anger out at Alyssa in the future, don’t call me ‘Dad’ again! You’re an elder, using your authority to bully a young woman. How dare you!”
Even though Newton did not slap Javier in the face in the end, the latter felt a burning sensation on his cheek, as if he had actually been slapped.
“Hurry up, Alyssa. Go and see Jeremy. Go, Newton urged warmly as he looked into Alyssa’s swollen eyes.
Sean encouraged her too. “Ms. Alyssa, haven’t you been waiting for Mr. Jeremy to wake up? I’m sure he really wants to see you too. Go on.”
Clenching her icy and reddened fingers, with heavy footsteps, Alyssa walked to Jeremy’s bedside.
He had lost weight during his coma, and his features were more rugged but just as striking.
He leaned quietly against the headboard of his bed. His once bright eyes were now dim and infinitely deep.
“Jeremy…”Sitting beside Jeremy’s bed, Alyssa could only call out his name before her tears started flowing uncontrollably.
Jeremy directed his gaze at her, his face expressionless as he watched her cry her eyes out. He was scarily quiet.
Alyssa’s heart wrenched. An ominous chill spread speedily throughout her limbs.
What happened to you, Jeremy?”
Javier turned pale with fright. He dashed over and looked Jeremy right in the face. “Jeremy! Look at me. I am your father!”
“Jeremy, I’m your grandpa!”
With Ben’s support, Newton hobbled toward Jeremy. As tears filled his eyes, he continued, My dear grandson, I’m right here. Don’t you recognize Grandpa anymore?”
With a blank look in his eyes, Jeremy studied Newton. Through his pale lips, he uttered,” Grandpa..’
Newton burst out in happy tears. “Yes! It’s great that you haven’t forgotten me!”
Then, Jeremy looked toward Javier. “Dad…”
“Son!” At that moment, Javier couldn’t hold himself together. He threw his arms around Jeremy.
The last time he hugged Jeremy like this was eons ago.
This is great… Mr. Jeremy didn’t lose his memory!”
Agitatedly, Xavier stepped forward. In a shaky voice, he announced, “Mr. Jeremy, madam is here to see you.”
Javier was just about to lash out when Newton shot him a fierce glare. He no longer dared to react rashly.
Jeremy directed his bleary gaze back to Alyssa’s worried face. This was the face of the person that he once cared for and loved to the core.
“A-lyssa.. Taylor…” Jeremy muttered in a low and hoarse voice, as if he was just learning to speak.
“That’s me… That’s me. I’m Alyssa Taylor!”
The tension in Alyssa’s heart could finally be released. With her tear stained hands, she grasped tightly onto Jeremy’s hands, which were covered in wounds.
In the next second, she was greatly staggered. Much to her surprise, Jeremy furrowed his brows slightly.
Little by little, he pulled his hands out of her grasp.
Alyssa’s eyes brimmed with tears as she stared in disbelief at her empty hands.
Jeremy had always been the one to hold her hand first during tender moments-whenever they kissed, embraced, or laced their fingers together, he would murmur in her ear, promising never to let go, no matter what.
Yet now, with a chilling detachment, he was pulling away.
The pain hit Alyssa as if her very soul was being torn apart.
When Xavier saw this, he gaped in shock, and his face ran pale. No one knew better than him how much Jeremy had loved Alyssa and how deeply connected they were before his coma.
But now, despite not losing his memory, the Jeremy who had awakened was unrecognizable. He treated Newton and Javier like before, except Alyssa, the woman he deeply loved, who was being treated with such coldness and detachment.
“Grandpa, Dad.” Jeremy turned his indifferent gaze away from Alyssa’s heartbroken face. In a deep voice, he said, I’m tired. I’d like to get some sleep. Could you all please leave?”
Javier was stunned.
Jeremy had been like this since he was young. He was no gentler or more emotionally intelligent than Justin. He was always cold and aloof toward the people around him.
Even so, after he regained consciousness, he seemed to have become even more frigid and withdrawn.
Javier had no choice but to accede, ‘Sure, sure. Have a good rest, then. We’ll come and see you again when you’re awake!”
Without replying, Jeremy lay back down silently. He then turned to his side so that his back faced all of them. He closed himself off from everyone, including Alyssa.
After Alyssa left the hospital ward, she darted to Julien’s office like a mad woman.
Although Javier didn’t allow the Taylors to visit Jeremy, Julien was an internationally renowned neurologist. The Walsh’s still invited him to tag along so that he could continue administering treatment to Jeremy.
