Chapter 457 What Luck Does She Have
Elisa’s lips quivered as she hesitated to speak. But at that moment, she couldn’t speak up.
Rachel suppressed her worries and said grimly, “It’s… Carle was hit by a car when he was drunk.”
Sheena stood to one side with her head lowered. Her eyes were swollen and red.
She couldn’t speak a word.
Edward was deathly pale. “What did the doctor say?”
They could only tell him the truth.
He gasped and stumbled.
Vegetative state?
He had heard of it, but it hadn’t happened to anyone close to him. Now… my son is in a vegetative
state?
A look of despair filled his face but he managed to regain his composure with his experience dealing with

He took a deep breath. “We have one month. We’ll think of a way.”
The others kept silent as fear filled their hearts.
Edward spent the night at the hospital. Sheena went to him after she pulled herself together. “Mr. Semoa,
none of us can enter now. The company needs you. I can keep watch here since there’s nothing else for
me to attend to. I’ll call you if there’s any news.”
He moved his lips, but not a single word came out.
Elisa turned to him. “I’ll stay here too, Mr. Semoa. You should go.”
Rachel nodded and said solemnly, “We’ll all stay here. You can come when they allow us to enter
tomorrow. The rest of us will take turns staying here, watching over him.”
Carle’s friends all spoke up in agreement. They looked earnest and penitent.
A breath of air escaped from Edward’s mouth as he almost broke down.
He sank into a bench on the corridor, wordless.
An accident just had to happen when everything seemed to be fine. It was too much for one to bear.
He didn’t leave until the next morning when everyone persuaded him to leave the company.
Sheena forced the men to leave, thinking that there was no point for all those people to stay.
Only the three of them stayed back.
Sheena turned to Elisa. “Elisa, you should go back and rest. Tonight’s the first night. I hope you’ll stay
with him then. Can you?”
Sheena wanted to be the one to accompany Carle. However, she knew who he needed the most. She
couldn’t waste their time.
Elisa’s eyes clouded over, but she nodded after some thought. “I will.”
Rachel exhaled. “I’ll stay here with Sheen. You can come back tonight.”
Elisa nodded and left without a word.
She applied for leave at her company after explaining the situation to Kira.
Kira was understanding and gave her three days of leave.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was mainly due to her outstanding performance. She managed to secure so many unattainable
contracts in such a short period of time.
Elisa went home and rested.
Just as Sheena said, she needed rest to keep Carle company during the night.
During her time away from the company, she didn’t know that Benett Corporation was having another
conference because of her.
It was because Thomas was there!
Everyone had seen his arrival at the company.
His appearance shook all the employees.
Thomas conveyed Gareth’s thoughts to the higher-ups. They then passed the words on to the chairman.
Norman only replied that he needed time to think things through. Thomas left, considerate of the
situation.
Those left in the meeting room had a grim expression on their faces.
Jeanne broke the silence. “What luck does Ms. Elisa have that even Mr. Wickam wants her to take
charge?!”
