Chapter 125\u00a0<\/p>\n
The medical team Silas had flown in from overseas held a consultation that morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the moment, there is a chance that she will regain consciousness,\u201d the doctor explained. We will start with medication to stimulate nerve recovery, followed by physical therapy and hyperbaric oxygen treatment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe next three months are the golden window. If she doesn\u2019t wake up by then, the odds will drop significantly. We need the family to cooperate too. Talk to her often. Emotional stimulation can help wake her up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c1\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany nodded repeatedly. It was much better than being told Sarah was in a permanent\u00a0<\/p>\n
vegetative state. If there was a direction to work toward, she would give it everything she had.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you. I appreciate your hard work,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah was moved from the ICU to a special care unit. Visitors were only allowed for one hour a\u00a0<\/p>\n
day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas accompanied Bethany to the ward. Bethany looked at the elderly woman. Sarah, who used to be so full of life, now lay there motionlessly. It left a bitter taste in Bethany\u2019s mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma, I\u2019m here to see you.\u201d Bethany grabbed Sarah\u2019s hand as tears welled up in her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou said you\u2019d be with me for a long time. You can\u2019t bail on me now. I haven\u2019t even had my wedding yet. I still want you to be there for it. When you get better, you have to be there, okay?\u00a0<\/p>\n
But silence was her only answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas squeezed her shoulder softly. \u201cThere\u2019s no rush. We can postpone the wedding. She\u2019ll wake up within three months.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany froze. She had wanted to suggest that, but she hadn\u2019t known how to bring it up to him. She hadn\u2019t expected Silas to say it first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She asked, \u201cAre you really okay with postponing it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas smiled. \u201cIt\u2019s not like we\u2019re going to get divorced if I wasn\u2019t okay with it. Relax. I\u2019m willing to wait as long as it takes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t care about waiting a few months for the wedding ceremony.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When they left the room, Silas steered Bethany toward the outpatient surgical department.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d Bethany asked in confusion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas lifted her hand. \u201cDid you get this injury when you used the whip?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany tried to pull her hand away out of guilt, but he held it tighter. \u201cStop hiding. Doctor, please bandage this wound for her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s palm just had a friction burn. It wasn\u2019t serious. She thought Silas was making a mountain out of a molehill.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHer hands are soft,\u201d Silas said. \u201cWe don\u2019t want any scars.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany was speechless, as was the doctor. He was just trying to do his job, yet he had to deal with a couple showing off their affection right in front of him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s face burned. She hoped the doctor would finish bandaging her hand quickly. She wanted nothing more than to flee the scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once they left the outpatient building, she walked faster and faster.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas caught up and grabbed her. \u201cWhy are you running?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSilas, can you stop making a scene? The doctor was trying so hard not to laugh that he was practically twitching!\u201d Bethany said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas didn\u2019t care. \u201cTwitching? Was he jealous because he doesn\u2019t have a wife? Fine. I won\u2019t say things like that again. Happy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside the car, Silas clicked his tongue again. \u201cYou still haven\u2019t told me where you got the\u00a0<\/p>\n
whip.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany pressed her lips together. \u201cI bought it online for self\u2013defense a while ago. I just left it\u00a0<\/p>\n
in the car.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t know where she got the courage that day to grab a whip and storm into the Reid\u00a0<\/p>\n
residence alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas took her hand and rubbed her palm. \u201cNext time, don\u2019t hurt yourself just to get back at them. But I am happy about one thing. I was the first person you thought of when you ran into trouble.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany paused, silently disagreeing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had only called him because Julian reminded her to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know it\u2019s an arranged marriage, but telling your partner when something happens is completely reasonable and necessary,\u201d Silas continued. \u201cThe main reason I got mad before\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 125\u00a0<\/p>\n
was because you acted like I didn\u2019t exist whenever something happened.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He leaned in and pinched her nose affectionately. \u201cDo you get it now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
3\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany stayed silent. She instinctively leaned back to put some distance between them. \u201cI get it. But don\u2019t get so close.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad wants us to come home for dinner today,\u201d Silas said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay,\u201d replied Bethany.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as they arrived at the Brennan residence, Evan badgered Bethany to go play in the garden with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
