Capítulo 128: Becoming a Father

The neurology resident was making rounds when he noticed a subtle, but obvious enough, movement of the patient's fingers on verbal command. It was his first time to encounter a locked in syndrome case who showed improvement. It might have taken years, but this is still a great achievement since most patients would suffer for the rest of their lives, comprehending, but unable to express themselves.

"Nice! Good response, Sir." he tried to cheer the patient on. It was good to reinforce the small achievements.

Victor Zhou just stared blankly at him after blinking once.

After his examination, the doctor bid goodbye and left him alone in his room.

Beyond the expressionless face was the great mind of Victor Zhou.

He was reminded of his son's words. "Dad, I'm going to be a dad soon."

If only he could, he would have rejoiced to the news and hugged his son. At that moment, he swore to himself that he cannot die without being able to hold his grandchild from his son.
