Josephine took the medicine and lay down. In al drowsy state, she finally fell asleep. Days passed one by one, and Ethan had been in a coma for half a month. His entire body became visibly thin, and even the doctors were planning new strategies, trying various methods to stimulate Ethan’s awakening.

Scenes of her son growing up played in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more sorrowful she became.
