“It’s fine!” Christine White pulled her hand out, “Just a little dizzy.”
“Dizzy?” Ives Norton frowned, “Let me show you.”
With that, he was about to probe her forehead, but she took a step back and refused.
“No Ives,” she shook her head to show that she was fine, then locked her gaze on Dr. Chen and changed the subject back, “Dr. Chen, when you say it’s hard, do you mean that he won’t wake up?”
“That’s not true.” Dr. Chen sighed, “Instead of him not being able to wake up, it’s more like, he doesn’t want to wake up.”
“Not wanting to wake up?” Christine White wrinkled her nose, “What does that mean?”
“It means that Hugh Dong can wake up anytime he wants to, if he wants to, but he hasn’t even woken up yet, which means that it’s him who doesn’t want to.” Ives Norton explained simply.
Dr. Chen nodded cooperatively, “Good, that’s it.”
“How can …” Christine White opened her mouth incredulously, “Won’t wake up, why wouldn’t he?”
“That’s going to be divided into two situations.” Dr. Chen said.
Christine White got a little emotional, “Which two?”
“One is that the real world is painful and sad to him, so he doesn’t want to come to think about it, for the sake of not wanting to face such a world.” Dr. Chen looked at Christine White and stated the first scenario.
Christine White murmured, “Pain … Is it the pain he feels because of his birth?”
“Not necessarily, the fact that he chose to help you guys and betray Owen Dong means he’s pretty open about who he is, so I don’t think it’s one of those things.” Ives Norton vetoed.
Christine White pursed her lips, “Dr. Chan, what’s the second one then?”
“The second one is that in reality, there is something he really wants but can’t get something, but he got it in the space of consciousness, so he doesn’t want to wake up, because he knows clearly that when he wakes up, everything is gone.” Dr. Chen replied.
Christine White’s pupils dilated for a split second, “The thing you want, but can’t get … Could it be …”
“What’s the matter Christine, what’s on your mind?” Ives Norton asked her.
Christine White’s body trembled, panic written all over her little face, “No, this isn’t real, how is this possible …”
Ives Norton looked worried as he looked at her who was reacting very wrongly, “Christine what’s wrong with you?”
“Dr. Chen.” Christine White ignored Ives Norton’s concern and grabbed Dr. Chen’s sleeve in an emotionally disturbed manner, “Tell me, Dr. Chen, is it possible that the thing that one wants so badly, but can’t get, is a person?”
“Of course there is, in fact, it’s easier for a person to make an obsession than an object.” Dr. Chen said back.
Christine White let go of her hand and clutched her hair in a somewhat crumpled state, “It’s me … It’s me …”
“What’s wrong with you?” Ives Norton, seeing her mood swings getting worse and worrying that she’d move the baby in a moment, reached out to press her shoulder.
Christine White looked at him with reddened eyes, “If Hugh Dong really won’t wake up because of his obsession, then I’m guilty as charged.”
“What do you mean?” Ives Norton first froze, and then suddenly reacted, his eyes slightly widened, and he opened his mouth in surprise, “You mean that Hugh Dong is interested in you …”
Christine White nodded her head with tears in her eyes, “Well, Hugh Dong has always been interested in me and has confessed his love for me several times, and even said he would take me abroad, so if I’m not mistaken, his obsession is me.”
“…” Ives Norton suddenly didn’t know what to say at this point.
Although he knew that she was still on good terms with Hugh Dong, he didn’t realize that Hugh Dong actually had those kinds of feelings for her.
“Ives, what should I do?” Christine White covered her face, her voice filled with pain, “If Hugh Dong really didn’t want to wake up because of me, what am I going to tell Baird.”
“Don’t you panic yet.” Ives Norton hugged her gently, “Hugh Dong is which is why he doesn’t want to wake up, it’s not clear exactly anymore, maybe it’s not because of you?”
“But just now …”
“Okay.” Ives Norton interrupted her and patted her back, “Don’t think too much for now, in a while Dr. Chen is going to try to hypnotize himself to enter Hugh Dong’s space of consciousness, and then we’ll know exactly why Hugh Dong doesn’t want to wake up.”
“Entering the space of consciousness?” Christine White stopped sobbing for the moment, got up from his arms, and looked at the embarrassed Dr. Chen on the side.
Dr. Chen tugged on his throat and coughed lightly, “Yes, I’ll try to talk to the patient.”
“Good, then I’m counting on Dr. Chen.” Christine White bowed deeply to him.
Dr. Chen hurriedly helped her up, “Mrs. Lane is welcome, this is my duty.”
Christine White raised the back of her hand and wiped her eyes without speaking.
Ives Norton tapped her on the shoulder, “Christine, why don’t you go back to the ward while I talk to Dr. Chen about hypnosis in a few minutes.”
“Uh-huh.” Christine White nodded softly, then looked at Hugh Dong in ICU before lifting her heavy legs and walking away.
Back in the hospital room, Aunt Lucy lifted the covers and helped her to the hospital bed, “Ma’am, how is it? Can the second young master wake up?”
Christine White shook her head without speaking, looking very downcast.
Aunt Lucy’s heart sank as she watched her like this.
At that moment, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Aunt Lucy frowned and took her cell phone out, seeing that it was an unknown caller, not intending to answer it, she just hung up.
As a result, within seconds, the phone rang once more.
“Hey, it’s not over yet is it.” Aunt Lucy chimed in displeased.
This time, though, she didn’t hang up and chose to answer; she wondered which sales pitch it was.
“Hello, who is it?” Aunt Lucy asked loudly to the other end of the line.
I don’t know what was said on the other end of the phone, but Aunt Lucy’s attitude suddenly changed.
Christine White looked at her curiously, “What’s wrong Aunt Lucy?”
Aunt Lucy hung up the phone, “It’s the courier company, it says there’s a delivery, it’s for you ma’am, let me go pick it up.”
“My delivery?” Christine White pursed her lips in confusion, “But I didn’t buy anything.”
“Didn’t buy it? Then who sent it?” Aunt Lucy wondered.
Christine White shook her head, “I don’t know.”
“I’ll go check it out then.” Aunt Lucy put her cell phone down and turned to head out of the hospital room.
Christine White wanted to tell her not to go, just in case it was some kind of prank, but she left so quickly that she didn’t even get a chance to speak.
“Forget it …” Sighing, Christine White took back what she was going to say, picked up a remote control and turned on the TV on the opposite wall.
After watching for a while, footsteps came from the door.
Christine White thought it was Aunt Lucy returning and smiled as she looked towards the door, only for it to open and the person outside to enter, the smile on her face instantly freezing at the sight of her visitor.
“Why you?”
“Long time no see, sis.” Mick White closed the door to the hospital room and walked towards Christine White with a hangdog expression.
As he approached, Christine White saw the malice in his eyes and her body tensed, her guard rising, “It’s been quite a while, but what are you doing here? And how did you know I was here?”
“Didn’t I tell you yesterday that you were pregnant and came over to check on you, and as for how I found out, I asked around, of course.” Mick White stopped by the hospital bed.
Christine White moved to the other side of the hospital bed, “Inquiring? Who did you inquire with?”
“Sis, this is your fault, it’s not easy for us siblings to meet once, why are you interrogating me like a criminal?” Mick White changed the topic, unwilling to answer her question.
The vigilance in Christine White’s heart grew stronger, “Okay, you don’t talk about anything, answer me, what are you doing here, exactly?”
