The following afternoon, Rachel finally regained consciousness from her coma. Upon waking up, she saw her mother and lan, who had been waiting by her bedside for her to wake up. Rachel was excited and touched. In the heat of the moment, she threw herself into her mother's arms. The mother and daughter were reunited after the ordeal, crying together in each other's embrace. The usually cold lan silently shed tears at the touching scene. He quickly wiped them away. After all, he must maintain the demeanor of an elder.

"Mom, no matter what you say, I won't change my mind." Rachel gently wiped her mother's tears, her gaze unusually resolute. "I've decided to testify in court. If I don't fight for my own destiny, even Ms. Thompson and Mr. Salvador won't be able to help me."

Mrs. Mead choked up. "Rachel... I'm so worried for you."

"Mom, if you're worried about me, then please don't stop me. I must speak up and seek justice for myself and the other girls hurt by Charles."

lan's eyes narrowed, and his heart was pounding. He felt that Rachel had matured even more overnight. Her unwavering and resolute gaze even reminded him a little of Bella.

"Rachel... I was wrong before. I was confused..." Mrs. Mead nodded vigorously, holding her daughter tightly. "I will respect your decision."

Just as lan was about to quietly leave, Rachel suddenly smiled gratefully and introduced him to her mother. "Mom, this is Mr. Harris. He's Mr. Salvador's secretary. Yesterday, he did everything he could to save me. He's my lifesaver."

"Thank you! Thank you so much, sir!" Mrs. Mead expressed her gratitude tearfully.

lan scratched his head, blushing sheepishly. "Uh... Please, just call me lan."

"Mom, could you do me a favor today and go home? Get the fabric I bought and my toolbox." Rachel raised her long eyelashes and glanced shyly at lan, biting her lip. "I'm bored staying in the hospital, and I want to finish the backpack I promised to make for Mr. Harris. I don't want him to wait too long."

lan's breathing became erratic, his heart pounding so intensely that it felt like it might burst from his chest. "No, no need, Ms. Mead! Your recovery is the priority. Don't trouble yourself over such a small matter for me!"

Besides, you lack nothing, and I have nothing to give you in return. This is just a small token of appreciation.
