Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 124

At that moment, the doctor finished examining Irene. "Congratulations, Mr. Cole," he announced. "Your sister has experienced a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. When someone tried to strangle her, it triggered her strong survival instinct. Initially, her consciousness had just begun to stir, and it was supposed to take a long time for her to fully awaken. However, the near-death experience prompted her brain to issue commands for her body to fight back, which led to her waking up earlier than expected."

"Fortunately, the rescue was timely. Otherwise, Miss Irene would have suffocated."

The doctor's straightforward explanation was clear to everyone present. In essence, Irene's instinct to resist during the strangulation brought her out of her comatose state ahead of time.

However, she had been in a vegetative state for five years, and her body had severely deteriorated. Although she woke up, she couldn't physically resist, leaving her vulnerable to being strangled to death.

Brian let out a sigh of relief and turned his gaze back to Claire, suppressing his anger. "Claire, what do you have to say for yourself?"

Claire simply smiled. "Mr. Cole, that's a question you should be asking Vanessa. And just so you know, I was the one who saved Irene because no one wants her alive more than I do."
