Chapter 109: A Miracle

Tye opened the door and saw that something was severely wrong. Every single machine was blinking red. Lena looked back to Tye. For the first time, he saw Lena so vulnerable. There were tears streaming down her beautiful face. He quickly walked over and the rest of the medical team also entered the room.

"What's wrong with him?" Lena asked.

"Get her out of the room!" Tye demanded.

"No! I want to stay."

One of the nurses tried to take Lena out of the room but she was being very aggressive. The other doctor was doing something to Gary. Lena could not see what was going on because they were all around Gary. Tye walked over. "Lena, you can't stay here. We need to do our job."

Lena was shaking her head. She does not want to leave Gary alone. James walked over and picked her out of the room. He closed the door and took her elsewhere. James knew that Lena this morning she was already trying so hard before to smile and not be sad seeing Gary in such a state.

James placed Lena on a bench outside in the back porch. He let her hug him as she continued to sob softly. He put a hand on her back and console her. In the past, this was also how he consoled his wife. He knew that at this moment, Lena just needed someone to stay with her. After about 10 minutes, Lena stopped. She was just sniffing.

"He was fine before." Lena muttered.

"Gary's going to be fine." James consoled her. "He would have died earlier if he was not holding onto something."

Lena took a deep breath to calm herself. She clenched her fists. "I swear I am going to kill that woman."

After a few more minutes, Tye came out of the glass doors. Lena stood up from the bench. She wiped the rest of her tears that had dried up.

"How is he?"

"He's stable." Tye looked at Lena. "What did you do?" He walked toward Lena.

Lena felt that that was an interrogation question, but somehow Tye did not look like he was mad nor angry. "I did not do anything. I was just holding his hands and talking to him like I was before."

'This woman… was she really a goddess?' Tye thought. "He had a small seizure."

"That does not sound good at all."

"I did not tell you before because Kris did not want to inform you, but the chances of Gary waking up was very minimal. Even less than what Madam Li had. Honestly, in all my years of the weird patients that I had, I don't know why Gary was not dead."

"Are you trying to say that he will never wake up now?" Lena was confused. Tye just said he was stable and now he was talking about this like something horrible happened.

"No." Tye put on hand on Lena's shoulder. "It's a miracle. His brain activity spiked up like he was never in a coma."

"That means…"

"It means that his brain is having normal activity like you or me."

Lena mood lightened up. This was the best news she had since she "died." She smiled. "Is he awake?"

"No. But I would assume it would just be a few days."

"Oh my gosh!" Lena jumped up and hugged Tye! Her wish came true! Gary's going to wake up! "AHHH! Can I go see him now?"

"Yeah."

Tye led her back to the room. The nurses were still there. Lena did not notice them before, but they were pretty nurses. The other doctor was also a pretty woman.

Lena went and sat on her chair again. She touched Gary's cheeks. "Thanks… for not leaving me."

Tye nodded at the medical workers for them to leave. They finished what they were doing and left.

"He still have everything attached to him. We will slowly remove each machine and check on him every hour." Tye explained.

"Ok."

"It really is a miracle." Tye expressed. "I can't really explain this. AHA… I am a genius doctor."

Lena laughed. 'Stupid Doctor. It's not you… it was me.' Lena's mood was lighting back up again. "I am going to stay for a few days here, just in case he wakes up by then."

"That's fine. I'll go check on a few things and come back." Tye left.

Lena took out her phone. She stood up and walked to the windows. She stared at the vast green forest. She dialed her mom's number. Her mom picked up after a few rings.

"Mom."

"Lena? Are you okay? You sound different."

"I'm fine." Lena tried to cover her voice, considering she just survived a roller coaster of emotions. "I am going to be gone for a few days."

"A few days?"

"One of my friends need me. Uh.. She was with me when Andy broke up with me and now I need to be there for her." Lena did a white lie. Everyone thought that Gary was dead so she could not say his name. And she could not say that she will be with a male friend. Hazel was away for another movie shoot, so she cannot use Hazel as an excuse.

"I understand. I'll take care of SHYNE for you. James is with you?"

"Yeah, he's here."

"Ok. You need anything, you call your mommy okay?"

"Mhm… Love you."

"I love you too."

Lena hung up on the phone. She texted Diane about her situation… making sure to stick with the same story. Diane sent Lena the details of the meeting, saying that it went well. Diane will be taking care of things so Lena does not need to worry. Lena still told her to send the paperwork needed for her to review.

Lena went back and sit down on the chair. Again, she held Gary's hand. "You better wake up soon or I'll be too poor to take care of you."

Daily Update 1/1

Because I don’t write and stock up chapters like some authors do... I don’t have a scheduled release (aka at the same time each day). I write everyday and release as I go. For that reason, I will mark my chapters if it’s the daily update or extra since everyone has different time zones.

I won’t release extra chapters everyday but I will always try to if I can. After all... who doesn’t like more releases.
