Countdown to My Divorce

Jim quickly stepped forward. “Doctor, how’s my daughter?”

The doctor let out a long sigh. “She’s out of danger for now, but she’s still unconscious. We can’t say when she’ll wake up. She hit her head hard, and it caused intracranial bleeding. If she hadn’t been brought in so quickly, she probably wouldn’t have made it.”

Jim’s legs buckled just hearing that. He stumbled back two steps, only to be caught by Tyler from behind.

“Jim.”

Jim waved his trembling hand. “I’m fine. As long as she’s still alive, that’s all that matters.”

Standing off to the side, Yvette clenched her fists tightly when she heard Rachel was still alive.

Why was Rachel so lucky? People said that getting hit in the head was fatal, but Rachel was still breathing. Why couldn’t she just die? That would’ve solved everything.

Compared to everyone else, Tyler remained far calmer.

“Doctor, is there any indication of when she might regain consciousness?” he asked. “Based on typical cases, that is.”

The doctor shook his head grimly. “It’s hard to say. In most cases, if they wake up, it’s within twenty–four hours. But if it goes beyond that, then it’s up to fate.”

Jim’s hands were shaking uncontrollably. “D–Doctor, are you saying that if my daughter doesn’t wake up, she could end up in a coma permanently?”

“Not necessarily. If she has a strong will to live, she may wake up.”

Jim nearly lost his footing again. Sasha rushed over to support him
