No one could guarantee that Sophia would wake up. No one could be sure when Sophia would wake up either. Everything was unknown, and it was not something that could be controlled by humans.
Xiao Zheng never left the ward. Ruth and Nika also took turns to accompany Xiao Zheng, guarding Sophia. In this world, these three people were the only family Sophia had left. Even though she had such a high position in Jefferson City. In the Fox Hunt, she had hundreds of followers. But in this world, there were only a handful of people who could be her confidantes and whom she could truly trust.
She was lonely and suspicious.
After her father passed away, she did not dare to trust anyone for a long time. She was always filled with a sense of crisis. Even though she now had the ability to be independent and was seen as a dangerous person by countless people, her heart was still lonely and empty.
Would she still wake up?
The world was so cold and cruel. Would she still be willing to wake up?
On the seventh day after she was hospitalized. She used her actions to tell everyone.
She would wake up.
Even though there were not many things that she was reluctant to leave, she could not bear to leave Xiao Zheng.
She finally woke up. Even though she could not make a sound when she woke up, she could only lie on the bed motionlessly. But the first person she saw when she opened her eyes was Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng, who had been guarding her for seven days.
She smiled at Xiao Zheng. Her thin red lips parted slightly. She could not make a sound. He could only tell what she was saying by the shape of her lips.
How could Xiao Zheng not understand?
When Sofia said it for the first time, he understood. At this moment, it was already the third time Sophia said it.
"I know," Xiao Zheng said softly, his voice trembling as he held Sophia's palm. "I know …"
Sophia had a pure smile on her face that Xiao Zheng had never seen before. It was as charming as a lily. She just held Xiao Zheng's palm, as if she was worried that she would lose him again. She would not let go no matter what.
Her waking up was also a minor miracle for the attending doctors. After a thorough and precise examination, the doctor sincerely told Xiao Zheng, "At least in my personal experience, Sophia is the most tenacious patient I've ever seen."
"When will she fully recover?" Xiao Zheng asked cautiously.
"I can't be sure," the doctor said awkwardly. "In fact, she may never fully recover."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Zheng asked with a frown. His heart tightened again.
"Mr Xiao, I don't know if you've heard of it. When a person's leg was broken, even according to the medical standards, the patient had completely recovered and could walk normally. However, from a psychological point of view, the patient was still not fully recovered. The patient is still unable to walk normally, "the doctor said solemnly. "This is a form of inertia. It was a psychological problem. The cause was very complicated, and there was no effective treatment at the moment. He could only rely on himself to overcome it. Some people could overcome their psychological problems. But most people would never be able to overcome it. To some extent, we also classify this type of question as a post-traumatic sequelae. "
Xiao Zheng stared at the doctor in disbelief. "You mean that Sophia will probably never be able to speak for the rest of her life?"
"Yes," the doctor said regretfully. "Although Miss Sophia's wound did not reach her throat. It damaged her trachea. Although it can be completely recovered. But the psychological impact on Miss Sophia is difficult to control. At least for now, it will be difficult for Miss Sophia to speak in the short term. "
Ruth and Nika also knew the details of Sophia's situation, but neither of them dared to tell Sophia. Every day, they could only force a smile to accompany Sophia. They talked to her about work. They talked to her about what happened in New York. As for Xiao Zheng, he tried to speak as little as possible when he was with Sophia. He just stayed with her in silence. He fed her some nutrition.
The days passed. Xiao Zheng had stayed in Tokyo for almost a month. Although Lin Huayin did not rush him. But at least from the complaints of Shen Han and Tang Ming on the phone, he could tell that as the supervisor of the overseas department and product department, he had not gone back to take charge of work for a month. He had already made his subordinates very busy.
He went back to the office to understand the promotion of Phantom. Xiao Zheng went straight back to the hospital to accompany Sophia, who was still bedridden but in an unusually low mood.
At first, Sophia simply thought that she was injured, and that the injury was very serious. That was why she could not speak and did not have the strength to speak. But as her strength recovered bit by bit. Even the scar on her throat was treated with special methods. Sophia could no longer accept the fact that she could not speak.
She was the biggest boss of Jefferson. She was the controller of two major alliances in Europe and North America. If Sophia could not even speak, wouldn't it be a fatal blow to her?
No matter what, no matter how powerful a person was, if she could not speak, it would affect her authority to a certain extent, right? What's more, she was a woman.
Xiao Zheng was well aware of the pressure Sophia faced. Thus, whenever he was with Sophia, he would try to converse with her as little as possible. Usually, he would use his actions or his eyes.
And Sophia did not seem to want to show her anxiety and uneasiness in front of Xiao Zheng. Every time Xiao Zheng appeared, she would have a beautiful smile on her face. There was even a hint of slyness in her smile. It was exactly the same as before.
Perhaps in Sophia's view, this was the only way for Xiao Zheng to look at her like before. He thought that she was a smart, capable, and strong woman.
Only in this way could she be qualified to compete with Lin Huayin. Otherwise, she was nothing.
Before Ruth came to take over Xiao Zheng's shift, Sophia suddenly picked up a notebook and a pen from under her pillow and scribbled a sentence. Then she passed it to Xiao Zheng.
"Go back to Mingzhu. I'm going back to New York in a few days. "
Xiao Zheng looked at what was written in the notebook and then glanced at Sophia, who was forcing a smile. He felt sad. Sofia, who had once been able to scare him with just her mouth, now had to rely on writing to communicate with him. She must be feeling very sad and wronged, right?
But she refused to show anything, and Xiao Zheng could not help her.
"I want to keep you company," Xiao Zheng said softly.
Hearing this, Sofia took the notebook and pen and quickly wrote a paragraph on the notebook.
"You don't have to feel sorry. I did it willingly. Moreover, it was also something that I should repay. If I want to blame someone, I can only blame myself for always wanting to use you. "
After Xiao Zheng finished reading this paragraph, he felt even more stifled in his heart.
Ruth and Nika had already told him the purpose of Sophia's visit to Tokyo. And in order not to let him feel guilty, Sophia would rather let him think that she came to Tokyo just to use him …
