---- Chapter 218 James had actually believed her. Jenna was just making everything up on the spot. She thought he'd see through it for sure. But he didn't. She froze for a second, lifting her eyes to look at him, her gaze clouded with unreadable emotion. He had worried about Wendy so much that he'd lost his sense of judgment. He was even willing to believe in something like a folk remedy.

"Set it up quickly," James said, breaking Jenna's train of thought, He was clearly displeased with her silence. Snapping back to reality, Jenna lowered her hand and forced out a smile. "Right... we can go now." Without the slightest hesitation , James turned and headed toward the elevators. "Alright." As he walked away, Jenna clenched her fists. A mix of anger and bitterness spread through her chest. She was jealous.

Wendy didn't even have to do anything, and yet she received James's genuine concern. The ward quickly became busy after they left. Medical staff moved in and out, tending to equipment and monitoring vitals. On the bed, Wendy slowly opened her eyes. ---- "Dr. Sanders, you're awake!" Aziel exclaimed, his voice filled with excitement. Liam, who had been watching the monitors, suddenly looked up and met Wendy's gaze. They locked eyes for a moment.

He quickly set down what he was holding and hurried to her bedside. "Are you feeling any discomfort ? Don't worry. You're in the hospital now, safe, and we're all here with you." His voice trembled with emotion. Wendy blinked a few times but didn't respond with words. After a few seconds, she gently shook her head. Having been unconscious for over ten days, this kind of response upon. waking was already remarkable. Liam quickly added, "Okay, got it. Don't move for now. Let Dr.

Virelli do a full checkup first." Wendy was like a rebooted computer, her gaze following Liam without any real response. Half an hour later, Aziel had the nurses remove most of the machines connected to her body, leaving only the ventilator. " There are no other issues. Dr. Sanders ' wounds have healed significantly . The fractures have been carefully treated and are recovering well. "T have to say, Dr. Sanders has excellent physical resilience .

Even after more than ten days in a coma, supported only by nutritional fluids, her vital signs remain remarkably stable." ---- Liam listened intently to Aziel, his eyes never leaving Wendy. "That's all. Dr. Harrison , will you be staying here for now?" Aziel glanced around the room. Besides the three of them and a nurse, no one else was present. He couldn't help but wonder where James had gone. Liam nodded. "Thank you, Dr.

Virelli." Aziel had heard some details about Wendy from Yara and knew that Liam had a good relationship with her. Thus, he didn't say much and quietly left. The ward quickly fell silent. Liam sat beside the bed and gently asked, "Are you thirsty?" Wendy nodded slightly , so he dipped a cotton swab in water and touched it softly to her lips. Her eyes scanned the room, noticing that only Liam was here. Slowly, her still-sluggish brain felt a flicker of confusion.

Inher coma, she had faintly heard James and Ethan's voices- crying, singing, and having conversations. She also remembered Liam's gentle and warm voice , which had brought her rare moments of peace in her dreams.
