Outside the ward, the doctor was exining something to Ethan''s assistants.


    I quickly walked out, unable to contain my impatience. "Doctor, how is Ethan? When will he wake up?"


    The doctor shook his head, looking troubled. "Mr. Grayson''s injuries are severe he has internal bleeding in his brain and has been in aa for seven days. "While his life has been saved for now, when he will wake up depends on his willpower. If he doesn''t wake up in three days, the consequences could be dire."


    My heart sank again.


    Ethan must wake up!


    Without him, how could I go on?


    I slumped down onto a bench, tears streaming uncontrobly.


    This was all my fault. If I hadn''t forced him to let go, if I hadn''t run away to another country, how could he have been so worn out? How could he have lost the will to live?


    "Ms. Wiley, stop crying. Mr. Grayson''s situation isn''t your fault. He''s the one who didn''t cherish you, and that''s what led to this," one of his assistants said.


    Another chimed in, "But he truly loves you. We''ve all seen it."


    "You''re right," I choked out. "But it''s all toote..."


    "No, it''s not toote!" Julia suddenly grabbed my hand. "Evelyn, try heart-to-heartmunication!"


    "What?" I was confused.


    "It''s when you call his soul through your heart," she said earnestly. "The bond between you two is so strong, you can surely sense each other. As long as you call to him in your heart, he''ll hear you. He''ll wake up!" I froze.


    Heart-to-heartmunication? Was that even possible?


    It soundedpletely unscientific. But right now, I had no other choice.


    For Ethan, I would try anything, even if there was just a 1% chance it could work.


    "Okay, I''ll try. You all go back for now. Maybe it will be better that way."


    They nodded, looking at me as though if this superstition were real, I might be hisst hope.


    After they left, I returned to Ethan''s


    held


    a deep breath,


    hand, and closed my


    Toe Phot


    "Ethan," I silently called out in my mind.


    me?/me, Evelyn. Can you hear


    me? I''m back. I won''t leave you again. Please, wake up! Without you, how can I go on?"


    Over and over, I whispered his name in my heart, pouring out my regret and longing.


    Tears silently fell, wetting his pale face.


    I would die without Ethan if he didn''t wake up. In this life, I never wanted to be apart from him again.


    Just then, a miracle happened. Ethan''s fingers twitched slightly!


    "Evelyn, can you feel it? It''s me, Ethan!"


    His weak voice echoed in my mind, and I opened my eyes in surprise, my vision blurry with tears.


    But at that moment, urgent


    footsteps were heard outside


    ward. Richard and Rowan an el


    at the window, both wearing strange smiles on their faces.
