Chapter 909

“Friends?” Kenny derided. “How dare you say that?”

Neil gave Kenny a sidelong glance but was interrupted by his phone ringing. He fished out his phone to

find a call from Greta and immediately picked it up.

“Neil!” Greta exclaimed excitedly. “Carol is awake!”

Neil’s hand trembled, and his throat tightened at the news. “She’s awake? Really?”

“What?” Flabbergasted, Kenny asked, “Is she awake and out of danger?”

Greta sobbed and said, “Yeah! You and Kenny should come now!”

“Okay.” Neil hurried out of the private room. “We’ll be on our way there.”

Watching them leave, Scott took up his seat on the sofa again. Calmly, he made a call and instructed, “Do

it.”

“Okay, Mr. Hendrix.”

Neil drove fast on the way back to the hospital, and Kenny even played the music in the car.

After getting on the bridge, Kenny lowered the car window and took a deep breath of the refreshing air. ”

Caroline is awake, Neil, and I feel the air is freaking fresh now!”

Smiling, Neil agreed, “Yeah, Carol is pretty tough. It’s only the fourth day, isn’t it?”

“Well, to be more specific, it’s three days and a half. The doctor said it would take five days, didn’t he?”

Kenny sought clarification.

Neil nodded. “Yes.”

“I’m excited!” Kenny put his palms together and looked up at the sky. “God must have heard my prayers

and helped Caroline wake up.”

“Prayers?” Doubtfully, Neil glanced at Kenny. “What did you say?”

“I said I was willing to exchange my life for Caroline to wake upl” Kenny replied seriously.

Stunned, Neil rebuked, “How could you say that casually?”

Kenny waved. “Alas, it’s just a prayer. It wouldn’t be true. Neil-”

A truck hit the rear of Neil’s car and interrupted Kenny’s words.

Neil immediately braked the car because of the sudden strong impact. But he didn’t expect the truck to keep

charging forward and hitting his car against the bridge’s iron railing.

Neil and Kenny’s minds went blank the moment they were lifted in midair and fell hard into the river with the car.
