Chapter 278

“I know. Don’t worry too much. Just now, I saw mother-in-law’s attitude and it shouldn’t be too heartless. But from now on, you absolutely can’t offend the people of Cooper Family anymore, especially Julian and your mother-in-law.”

“Think about it, your father-in-law is now in the ICU. If it was during normal times, it would have been fine if you quarreled with them, but now, it was time for them to get angry. If you had hit the muzzle of the gun, there definitely wouldn’t have been a good result. Don’t you think so?”

“Mom, don’t worry. As long as I can return to Villa of Cooper Family, Julian won’t be able to chase me out.”

Because Samantha was here to take care, plus Christian being present here, after Daphne saw Stephen fell asleep, she said goodbye to the three of them and left Sarah’s delivery room.

Daphne first went to look at her husband in the ICU.

Standing in front of the glass door, she saw that Ethan was still lying quietly on the bed and knew nothing about the outside world. But she still heard some good news from the doctor. Ethan’s health was getting better and better.

When she heard the doctor’s words, Daphne’s heart finally relaxed a little. She sat in the Cooper Family’s car and returned to Villa of Cooper Family.

Today was the most difficult day for Julian since he met Ruby.

Although his secretary was taking care of him by his side, in Julian’s heart, he did not feel safe at all.

Today, he had taken care of all the work at hand and did not wait for the time to get off work. He asked his assistant, Lucas, to send him home.

Although he knew Lucas was Vivian’s relative, it was not yet time for him to leave.

When Daphne arrived home, she found out that Julian had already returned from work. She quickly went upstairs.

Daphne first went to the study to search, but she did not see her son’s figure, so she went straight to Ruby’s bedroom. When she opened the door, she saw Julian sitting alone by Ruby’s bed.

Daphne immediately lifted her foot and walked in.

Although her mother’s footsteps were light, Julian could still hear it. He looked in the direction of the door and asked slowly, “Mom, is that you?”

Daphne heard her son’s words and smiled. She walked to her son’s side and sat down. “It’s Mom. Your hearing is getting better and better now.”

Julian smiled. “This is all thanks to Ruby.”

“Where is Ruby?” Daphne sat down and looked around the room, but she did not see Ruby.

“She was brought home by her father. I wonder if she will come back.” Julian looked helplessly in front of him. When he thought of Ruby, he felt an indescribable pain in his heart.

“She has been taken away? Why?” Daphne asked in confusion.

“Why else? Because I proposed a divorce with Vivian at noon, her mother ran to Ruby’s house to bring her father over. He must have seen that I was so close with Ruby, so Ruby’s father took her away in a fit of anger. . . Mom, help me, I can’t live without Ruby! Tomorrow you go to Ruby’s house. Help me beg for mercy, okay?” Julian held his mother’s hand tightly and begged.

Daphne heard her son’s words and sighed, “Is it because of Ruby that you want to divorce Vivian?”

“Not all of them! Mom, after I can’t see for the first time, I thought about it a lot and always felt that I was too wrong in the past. Sometimes, I thought that when my eyes were good in the past, why did I fall in love with a woman like Vivian? When my eyes were good, I couldn’t see clearly. I didn’t expect that when my eyes wouldn’t be able to see anymore, my heart was like a clear mirror. Don’t you think it is very ironic?”

Julian laughed self-deprecatingly at the end of his sentence.

“Ruby has indeed taken good care of you during this period of time. I am also grateful to her from the bottom of her heart, but have you ever thought of one thing? No matter what Vivian has done, she is after all Stephen’s biological mother. If you really want to divorce her, the person who is the most injured is our Stephen!”

“Mom! You are right. She is indeed Stephen’s biological mother, but I can’t let myself suffer for the rest of my life just because of this reason. I just want to be with the person I like. Is this also wrong?”

“But you forgot, no matter how good Ruby is, she is still a relative of Vivian! If they had nothing to do with each other, this matter might be easier to deal with. But they are cousins and you are only relying on Ruby now. If you see it with your eyes in the future, what if you regret it then?”

“Mom. . . This time, my feelings for Ruby are not because I rely too much on her. It is because I like her! I have never liked a person to this extent. Even if my eyes can’t see it, I don’t care. I only hope that she can be by my side. I’ll live with her for the rest of my life. Mom, do you understand?” Julian urgently wanted to express his inner thoughts.

Daphne grabbed her son’s hand and nodded. “I know! I can understand too! But Julian, I still feel that you are a little impulsive now. After all, Vivian only gave birth three days ago. But you are going to propose a divorce to her now. If outsiders know about it, everyone will blame Ruby, and she will bear the inhumane name of breaking someone’s home. Her family will also be implicated. Even if you really want to be with her, you have to think about her more, right?”

Julian nodded slightly. “But Mom, what do you think we should do? I really don’t want to continue living with Vivian.”

“Don’t worry too much. After all, Vivian hasn’t left the hospital yet. When her body recovers and you still want to divorce her at that time, Mom will help you say it. Do you think it’s okay?”

“Okay! Mom, I’ll listen to you.” Julian felt that his mother’s words made some sense and nodded in agreement.

“When will Ruby come back?” Daphne heard her son agree and asked slowly.

Julian shook his head in disappointment. “I also don’t know when she will come back. . . Mom, can you find someone to take a look these few days? I am afraid that after Ruby went home, her father will definitely not let her come back. When I saw Ruby’s father today, the words that he said were very hard to listen to. I am worried that Ruby will be looked down upon by her family. . .”

Daphne frowned and said, “There is such a thing?”

“Yes, Mom! You must find someone to take a look! Mom, please!”

“Okay, okay, okay! I will send someone to take a look at her house tomorrow.” Daphne agreed at the same time.

It was unknown if it was because he knew that he had a grandson and a granddaughter now, just like the doctor had predicted, on the fifth day after the two children were born, Ethan’s condition finally improved.

All the indicators in his body slowly stabilized. After the doctor informed Christian, Ethan was transferred from the ICU to the ordinary ward.

When the people of Cooper Family learned about this, they were all very happy. As soon as Daphne heard the news, she couldn’t help but shed tears.

Christian went to his father’s ward at the very first moment. Because Ethan’s ward was only two floors away from Sarah’s ward, it was much easier for them to visit frequently. Daphne also went to see her husband.

“Chairman Cooper’s body is no longer in any danger. Next, you just need to take good care of him.

When you have nothing to do, your family members should often come to chat with him. Maybe you can wake him up earlier.”

The attending physician was already familiar with the two of them. After giving Ethan a checkup, he looked at the two of them and reminded them slowly.

“Can you give us a rough time? How long will it take for my father to truly regain consciousness?”

Christian looked at the doctor and asked.

“It’s hard to say. Maybe he will wake up in a few days, maybe ten days, half a month, maybe a few years. . .”

“How many years?” Daphne was shocked by the doctor’s words and nervously stared at the doctor.

“This kind of situation has happened a lot in medicine. Some people may not wake up for the rest of their lives. But there are also many who wake up. So I said that you should interact more with him. Tell him about some things that have happened before, especially those that have a very deep impression on him. Stimulate his cerebral cortex. If it awakens his consciousness, perhaps he will wake up very soon.”

“Then. . . Then what you mean is. . . It is very likely that he will not wake up for the rest of his life?”

Daphne nervously asked back.

“This kind of thing is not so absolute. Anything is possible. Personally, I think Chairman Cooper has a strong desire to survive. If not for this, he would not have survived from the ICU until now. So for the time being, I need your family to work hard.”

“Thank you!” Christian listened to the doctor and nodded. In his heart, he knew that there were some things that the doctor could not give a definite answer to.

The attending physician exhorted some things to be taken note of before leaving Ethan’s ward. Daphne looked at her husband who was lying quietly on the bed, walked to the side of the bed and sat down.

Tears also flowed out as she held his hand.

“Ethan, don’t keep sleeping. Do you know, we have a grandson and a granddaughter now. Both of them are very cute and beautiful. They have never seen their grandpa before. Ethan, you must wake up quickly. Think about our grandson and granddaughter, alright?”

Listening to Daphne’s words, Christian felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart. He walked to his father’s side and sat down. “Dad, I know you will definitely be able to hear me. I also know you are working hard. Hold on a little longer and wake up a little faster. Our whole family. . . Is waiting for you. .

.”

“Christian, can your Dad. . . Really hear me?” Daphne saw that Ethan did not respond to her at all and her tears kept falling.

“Dad’s condition has improved a lot. He just came out of the ICU today. His body must still need to get used to it. Aunt Daphne, don’t be too anxious. I believe that my dad will get better slowly.”

Although his father still hadn’t woken up yet, Christian believed that. . . As long as his family took good care of him, his father would definitely wake up.

“Yes, yes. . .” Daphne nodded as she shed tears.

Julian did not have a good time these two days. He spent every day in the company. He put his phone in his pocket, although he could not see the name on it.

Before Ruby left, she set the ringtone of her number to a pop song. As long as Ruby called him, he would be able to know it immediately. But two or three days had passed. He did not receive a single call.
