Yuna hesitated momentarily before she continued, "That explosion would also have violently shaken up that metal container, not to mention the fact that it fell into the sea. Tobias might have straight up fainted from the shockwave." The more Peter listened to Yuna's analysis, the more frightened he became.
He did not dare to imagine whether Tobias would still be alive if he had been a second late.
The more he thought about it, the more grateful he felt towards Yuna.
If it weren't for her, he would have long since assumed that Tobias was already dead and wouldn't have sent anyone to investigate his whereabouts.
"Yuna, it's all thanks to you. If Tobias can wake up..." Peter trailed off halfway into his sentence.
After all, it was still a question as to whether Tobias would be able to regain consciousness or not, or ever again. Meanwhile, over at Natalie's apartment.
It was approaching the dead of night, and Yvonne had already fallen asleep.
However, sleep would not cto Natalie no matter how hard she tried.
All she could think of was Tobias.
Why was it taking so long for Tobias to cback? Natalie suddenly climbed out of bed.
She put on a coat and went downstairs.
She had a constant nagging feeling that Tobias would be downstairs waiting for her outside his car as he did in the past.
But when she cdownstairs, there was no one there.
She could not find any trace of Tobias.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie could not help but glance around amidst the darkness. There was still no one.
Disappointment was written all over her face.
Natalie returned to the apartment and flopped down on the bed.
Tobias was everywhere, like the air surrounding her.
Her yearning was honestly about to drive her over the edge.
It was to the point that the thought of Tobias possibly not being alive crossed Natalie's mind. S~Earch the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
However, Natalie forced herself not to think that way.
Tobias being alive was the only thing keeping her going, her only faith.
How could she let her faith disappear? He'd only gone somewhere far, far away. It might take him a long time, but he'd definitely cback.
Five days later, Selina made a phone call to Peter.
Peter's hesitant attitude over the phone greatly annoyed Selina.
She couldn't help raising her voice. "Grandpa, just tellwhat you're up to instead of hiding it fromlike this! You promisedyou'd tellin five days, and it's been five days. If you don't tell me, then you're going back on your word. Grandpa, since when did you becsomeone who broke promises?" Peter was speechless.
He could not do anything about his quick-witted granddaughter.
In the end, Peter asked Selina to cto the United States in person.
On the way there, Selina already had a brief idea of what to expect. However, when she actually saw Tobias in the ICU ward with a variety of tubes stuck to him, tears couldn't help streaming down her cheeks. "How... how could Tobias have beclike this?" He was her almighty brother, and he could do anything. How could he end up like this? He laid motionless on the bed, wearing an oxygen mask with terrifying tubes connected to all parts of his body. Peter glared at Selina. "It was you who wanted to see him!" Unlike Selina, Peter had already spent so many days here. He had pretty much accepted the fact that Tobias was in a vegetative state.
Selina's eyes were full of tears, and her tone was sharp. "He's my brother! Can't I see him?" Peter huffed. "Now you know what your brother's like, and it's all because of that woman! If it weren't for her, he wouldn't end up like this!" At the thought of this, the bitterness and grievance in Peter's heart surged.
If not for Natalie, how could Tobias, his perfectly fine grandson, turn out like this? Peter's greatest regret was not having thrown Natalie into the Pelham River at first sight, and let her becfish food. If he had, none of this would have happened. Selina's lips twitched.
She wanted to defend Natalie, but found that it was impossible.
This was because Peter was right, undeniably so.
If not for Natalie, Tobias would not have beclike this.
He would still be the man at the top of the pyramid, the man who attracted everybody's eyes.
Instead, he was lying here with a range of tubes stuck in his body.
"I want to call Mom," Selina suddenly said anxiously after a moment.
Over this period of time, Cecilia had lost 30 pounds.
She was already very slim to start with. Now that she had lost another 30 pounds, it was as if she were nothing but skin and bones.
If Cecilia were to find out that Tobias was still alive, she would definitely be able to regain her vitality. However, Peter did not agree with Selina doing this.
"Your brother hasn't woken up yet. You're just going to make her feel worse if you give her hope but he ends up staying like this forever!" That was also the reason why he had been keeping it a secret from her all this time.
He knew that it was extremely despairing for someone to see a glimmer of hope, then have that hope be extinguished.
However, Selina was very insistent.

"Grandpa, even if this hope turns into despair, it's still something. Mom looks like she's going to die anytspon, and I'm really afraid something will happen to her. She needs to have hope." Selina stubbornly made a call to Cecilia. Meanwhile, Peter could only let out a sigh.
That very night, Cecilia mobilized her private jet and arrived in the United States.
Just like Selina, when she saw Tobias in the ICU ward, her first reaction was to burst into tears.
She sobbed even harder than Selina had.
In the end, Peter called a doctor over. After the doctor repeatedly swore that Tobias' life was not in danger, Cecilia's tears gradually subsided.
She urgently asked the doctor when Tobias would wake up.
The doctor did not know how to answer.
Peter was still able to accept his words because he was strong.
As for Cecilia... the doctor didn't know whether Cecilia would pass out if he were to say that he didn't know when Tobias would wake up, or whether he'd even be able to wake up.
Just as the doctor was in a dilemma, Peter tried to ease the tension.
"Cecilia, there's no need to rush.
же fact tha Tobias is alive is good enough. He'll wake up one day." The Cecilia forced herself to take a deep breath. She rubbed her red eyes.
Indeed, it was as Peter had said. The fact that Tobias was still alive right then was already the best-case scenario.
After all, she had believed that Tobias had already died in that explosion, and not even his skeleton was left behind. However, the fact that Tobias could now show up in front of her with his vitals intact was the best thing possible. After a while, Cecilia called Selina out of the ward to speak to her privately. She looked at Selina, a trace of anxiety in her voice. "Selina, did you tell Natalie that Tobias is here?" Selina's heart skipped a beat.
Cecilia sounded a little odd, for sreason.
