Chapter 977 What A Big Surprise
Anya cried her eyes out and she had no idea how long she had been crying.
She kept talking to her mother after she chilled out and dried the tears.
“I hate him. I’ve finished the divorcing procedures with him today.”
“I’ll leave the country in a few days and I can’t visit you often then. It’s my bad but I’ve got no other choice. Please forgive me, mom. I just can’t stay in Riverside City or the country any more. I feel breathless here.”
Anya had done psychological counselling while she was in hospital these days. Jean had introduced a good psychologist to her, otherwise she would have been depressed.
She kept seeing the psychologist for a few days and she felt much better now. But she still couldn’t stay in this city any more. She came say goodbye to her mother today and she would leave soon
She knew Lorie couldn’t respond to her, but she still came anyway.
“Don’t worry, mom. I’ll study hard. I promise.”
Anya took her hand and gnashed the words one by one, “An eye for an eye! For those who have hurt us or betrayed us, I swear I’ll make them pay for whatever they’ve done.”
They must pay for it, especially her father and the home-wrecker’s family.
They were living a good life abroad now and it was built on her mother’s sorrow and pain. She swore she would seek revenge on them and make them pay!
Revenge was only thing that kept her living on.
Anya had finished talking to Lorie and was about to take her hand back. Right at the moment, she found Lorie’s hand move slightly. It seemed she tried hard to grab Anya’s hand but she was too weak to do it.
Anya was frozen and she couldn’t believe her eyes.
Lorie just moved her hand!
She came talk to her mother every week in the past few years, but she had never responded to her. Anya had given up all hope that Lorie would wake up again.
When she saw her slight finger movement now, Anya’s mind went blank. She was so shocked that she just forgot what to say or what to do.
At the time, Lorie moved her slender hand again.
“Doctor! Doctor!” Anya cried out.
She was so anxious and excited that she turned around to run out of the ward. She was nearly tripped down by the chair.
“Doctor, my mother’s finger has moved!”
While Anya was running and crying out, Lorie’s attending doctor and nursing worker ran over in haste.
Anya ran forward and grabbed the doctor by the arm, “Dr. Choffard, please have a look. My mother’s finger has moved just now.”
The middle aged attending doctor looked unbelievable too. But he just kept running to the Lorie’s ward as soon as possible and did a series of check-ups for her.
Anya was waiting anxiously while the doctor was doing the check-ups for Lorie.
“It’s a miracle!” Dr. Choffard finished the check-ups for Lorie and sighed with astonishment.
“It’s a modern medical miracle!” he exclaimed again, “Your mother has been unconscious for so many years but she has shown the sign of regaining consciousness. There’s only a twenty percent chance to wake up medically.”
“Congratulations! You’ve become one of the twenty percent ones.”
The doctor’s words had implied that Lorie could wake up miraculously. Anya was too excited to say a word. She just hugged the nurse besides her and cried badly.
The nursing worker, who had been taking care of Lorie, was very happy and wiped off her tears, “It’s wonderful!”
“I’ll arrange more detailed and thorough check-ups for her. We’ll have to valuate her situation again.” Dr. Choffard said it and came over to pat Anya on the shoulder, “You should take the credit of it. You keep visiting her to tell her your daily life and your feelings. You’ve helped wake her up to some extent.”
“You become the lucky one because you work together on it.”
Anya shook her head and the rims of her eyes started to turn red, “We owe it to you and your team. Thanks for not giving up on my mother. It’s the hard work of us all.”
“Thank you so much!”
Anya was so excited that she couldn’t say anything else but “Thank you”.
Dr. Choffard left with the nurse to re-evaluate Lorie’s health condition. Anya also told the nursing worker to leave first. Then she sat down and held Lorie’s hand without slacking a moment.
“It’s incredible, mom! It’s just incredible!”
“I’m so happy that you can hear me again now. It turns out that you’re always there for me and listen to me with patience like before.”
Lorie was a soft and tender woman. She was mild and patient.
Anya was a girl but she had always been a troublemaker because she was active and mischievous. But Lorie never got mad at her or talked to her harshly.
Lorie taught her to play the piano when she was little only to restrain her a bit.
Yes, she learned to play the piano from her mother. Lorie was an accomplished pianist and she was well-known in Riverside City. And, Lorie named her “Anya” because she wanted her to be kind, elegant and talented.
Anya was strongly attached to Lorie, as the latter had brought her up on her own. She thought she was positive, outgoing and kind before she met and started a relationship with Phil.
She owed it all to her mother. Lorie had endowed her with everything, including her expertise in piano as well as her beauty and the inherent temperament.
But she had made herself a spoiled and unruly girl after she met Phil.
When she was first with Phil, she did act up all the time, intentionally.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
She pretended to be spoiled, wild and unruly. She acted to be an unlovable person so that Phil would hate her.
But Phil just bore with all of it. Instead of hating her and divorcing her, he turned out to love and care about her even more.
She didn’t figure out what Phil really wanted for the time being, so she restrained herself bit by bit over time.
Anya could feel the slight movement of Lorie’s fingers when she talked with her.
She was amazed and tried to communicate with her.
“Mom, move your fingers again if you can really understand what I say. OK?” said Anya, softly.
As expected, Lorie moved her fingers slightly in response.
“Amazing! Since you’re getting better, I am not going to study abroad. I’ll stay and take good care of you until you fully recover.”
Anya made the decision happily.
She hadn’t imagined there was any chance that her mother would wake up some day and she was going to study abroad on her own. Surprisingly, Lorie made a breakthrough right before she left. Of course, she would stay for her.
She didn’t care whether she had to face up to Phil again in Riverside City as long as Lorie was getting better day by day.
