Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

The call came from Zora, the caregiver looking after Thaddeus.

Zora mentioned that Thaddeus had moved his fingers twice in quick succession that day. Lizetta was over the moon, rushing to the hospital while calling Remington on her way. Arriving at the hospital, Lizetta was surprised to find Remington already there. Dressed in his usual bespoke suit, he was discussing with the doctor outside Thaddeus' room. Hearing footsteps, he turned, and seeing Lizetta approaching at a jog, his brow furrowed slightly as he strode toward her, saying in a deep voice, "Take it easy!" Lizetta found herself pulled into his embrace, catching her breath.

How could she not be in a rush? Thaddeus had been in a coma for nearly two years. If he didn't wake up soon, the chances would only get slimmer.

This was the first sign of awakening they had seen in all this time. She tugged at Remington's shirt, "Is it really a sign of waking up?"

Remington nodded, "It's not quite a sign of awakening yet, but he has indeed been more responsive to external stimuli these past few days."

Remington led Lizetta to the doctor to have the diagnosis explained again. The doctor also showed Lizetta the data recorded over the past few days, indicating a positive trend in all metrics.
