In the hospital, Ophelia had wrapped up her discharge formalities. Before leaving, she went to see Scott Hastings.

There he lay motionless, with only his chest rising and falling and a heartbeat to indicate life, his eyes firmly shut. Once a lively young man, Scott was reduced to lying in a hospital bed.

The doctor had told her there was a chance he might wake up within three months; beyond that, the outlook wasn't good. And he could remain in this state for years on end.

Kenneth walked into the room. "I've reached out to some doctors overseas. They'll be coming in for a consultation soon. Once his wounds heal well enough, he can be sent overseas for treatment. The first three months are the best time for treatment, and the success rate is high. I'll take care of it, so you don't need to worry."

"Okay." Ophelia nodded, her attention drifting back to Scott on the bed.

Suddenly, a large hand grasped her head, turning her face away forcefully.

"No more staring." She was the one dealing with all of this, and what was the point of watching anymore? They weren't related by blood. Besides, she had already shed tears for him, which had upset him enough.

"Is he more handsome than me? Hmm?" Kenneth asked seriously.

Ophelia was speechless. She thought, 'Did he really want to argue about looks at a time like this?"

The man raised an eyebrow, looking very serious and persistent, as if he wouldn't give up until she answered.

"You two aren't the same type." Ophelia thought, Scott was still just a kid. How could he possibly compare?'

"What do you mean by that?" Kenneth looked confused and thought, 'Could I not even compare to someone in a coma?'

"So what type am I?"

Ophelia really didn't want to discuss this here. But her previously heavy heart felt a bit lighter because of Kenneth's ridiculous banter.

"Alright, you're handsome. Set a date for sending Scott abroad, and I'm tagging along."

She had to make sure he was safely taken to the hospital for treatment before she could be at ease.

"Alright, I'll arrange everything."
