Gail sighed, her brow furrowed.
âHonestly, I never thought sheâd resort to such extremes â using a suicide threat to manipulate Brian into divorcing you.
â
Rosalynn remained silent, feeling the heavy weight of the situation on her mind.
Gail studied her.
âWhat did Brian say?â
âHe wants me to stay at home, not worry,â Rosalynn said softly.
âs BunnyBookery
Gail nodded.
âBrianâs a good man.
But Noemiâs actionsâ¦well, theyâll undoubtedly impact him.
Heâs not just your husband, Rosalynn, heâs also the CEO of Hughes Group.
That video painted him as heartless.
Now, thereâs talk of a boycott on Hughes Group products.
I wouldnât be surprised if the board forces him out of the Hughes Group to save the companyâs reputation.
â
Gailâs words sent a shiver down Rosalynnâs spine.
It started as a family drama, and now it felt like a hostile takeover in slow motion.
A thought flickered in Rosalynnâs mind.
Four grueling hours later, the emergency room doors swung open.
A doctor emerged, and Brian rushed forward.
âHow is my mother?â
The doctorâs face was grim.
âMr.
Hughes, we managed to save your motherâs life, butâ¦â
The doctor paused, his expression grave.
Brianâs heart sank.
âBut what?â he asked, his voice trembling.
âWhen your mother fell from the building, although she was protected by the air cushion, her head still sustained significant trauma,â the doctor explained.
âSheâs no longer young, and she suffered a severe concussion along with multiple injuries to her body.
She is still in a coma.
â
Brian frowned deeply.
âWhen will she wake up?â he asked, desperation creeping into his voice.
The doctor shook his head slowly.
âIâm not sure,â he admitted.
âYou may need to prepare for the possibility that your mother may remain in a coma indefinitely.
â
The weight of the words settled heavily on Brianâs shoulders.
Noemi was in a vegetative state now.
He pursed his lips, feeling a deep sadness well up inside him.
After a moment, he nodded slightly to the doctor.
âI see.
Thank you,â he said quietly.
As the doctor walked away, Brian pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to relieve the pressure in his head.
He then made his way to the ward, his mind heavy with the grim news.
When he saw Noemi lying on the bed with tubes all over her body, Brian felt a pang of sorrow.
He slowly sat down beside her and gently took her hand in his.
His feelings for his mother were complicated.
When his parents were still together, he had a happy childhood filled with warmth and love.
