Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 256

Valentin got close to Zain. Judging by Zain’s expression, Valentin could

help but frown, “Grandpa.”

read his mind. He couldn’t

Zain raised his hand to wipe the tears from his eyes and nodded repeatedly. “You finally woke up.

Ashley has been taking care of you recently, and she even lost weight.”

Valentin knew Ashley well, and he had guessed it.

Ashley originally had difficulty in gaining weight. Valentin took her to Kingsley Manor and took good

care of her, providing her with the best living conditions so that she could gain some weight, but now

she has lost weight again.

Ashley didn’t take her efforts seriously, but Zain’s words made her shy.

Ralph and Maggie talked to Valentin and finally felt relieved when they found Valentin’s condition

returned to normal.

After the

amination, the dean and the doctors came over with the expedited report.

Ashley asked nervously, “Dean, how is he doing now?”

Zain, Joseph, Ralph, Maggie, and Tom all looked toward the dean.

The dean unfolded the inspection report in his hand and said carefully, “After inspection, Mr. Kingsley’s

wounds are no longer serious, and all physical indicators are normal. However, Mr. Kingsley suffered a

sever head injury and will remain in the hospital recovering. We need to observe if he develops any

symptoms.

After all, the brain was the most important organ in the human body, so doctors took seriously the

consequences of a severe head injury.

Ashley stood before the bed at this time. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but hold Valentin’s hand.

They intertwined their fingers. Valentin wrapped his palm around her hand. Ashley sensed his

encouragement and calmed her tension.

The dean added, “Moreover, Mr. Kingsley has been in a coma for nearly a week. He just woke up not

long ago. It is inevitable that he will be weak. But don’t worry about it. He will recover gradually.”

Then, the dean explained some other considerations.

Ashley wrote it all down.

In order not to disturb Valentin’s rest, the director led the doctors out of the ward after explaining the

precautions.

Joseph finally took the chance and rushed to the bed. He reached out and poked Valentin, then

squeezed his arm. Feeling Valentin’s warmth, tears suddenly filled his eyes.

“I’ve been worrying about you every day, Valentin. I fear you will be a vegetable.”

Hearing this, both Valentin and Ashley fell into silence.

Maggie glared at him. “How dare you? What are you talking about?”

Joseph pressed his lips, looked at Valentin longingly, and pointed at his eyes. “I’m indeed worried about

you, Valentin. Can you find the dark circles under my eyes?”

Valentin and Joseph had always had a close relationship, and he could understand Joseph’s concerns.

He reached out to pat Joseph on the shoulder.

The weak couldn’t stand other’s comfort.

Joseph’s mood had already calmed down.

Valentin patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, which made Joseph unable to hold his tears

back and cry directly.

“But the dark circles don’t affect my dashing face. Actually, Ashley is mo worried about you than I am.

She had been in the ward with you every day, hadn’t had meals on time, and even hadn’t left the ward.”

How sensible and considerate he was! He even tried to help Valentin and Ashley develop their

relationship.

Joseph found himself deserving of being Valentin’s supporter.

Hearing this, Valentin looked at Ashley, who stood aside. He stared at Ashley affectionately with mixed

emotions in his eyes.

Ashley sensed Valentin’s gaze and coughed lightly in shyness. “Joseph just made it up and

exaggerated.”

“I just told the truth.” Joseph winked at Valentin and added, “If you don’t believe me, ask Ashley about

it.”

Ashley choked on his words.

In the early morning, the sun rose slowly, and the warm sunlight poured. through the window into the

ward, driving away all the haze.

The atmosphere in the ward had finally relieved a lot and was no longer dull.

They chatted for a while, and Joseph wanted to leave Ashley and Valentin alone.

Zain thought so, either. He winked at the others, and they all left the ward.

After Tom left, he came back again and brought breakfast.

After putting down the packing box, Tom hurriedly left with joy. Valentin’s recovery had even lifted his

mood.

Ashley shook her head helplessly.

She laid out the dishes and took a look at it. She found the dishes Tom had prepared all digestible,

which was suitable for delicate Valentin.

“You have just woken up now. How weak you are! Have the dishes. digestible first.”

Ashley served Valentin a bowl of oatmeal and asked worriedly, “You jus woke up not long ago. You

have been checking and chatting for so lon Are you tired? Do you want to sleep?”

Valentin raised his eyebrows slightly and replied, “Nope.”

When he spoke, he stared at Ashley all the time, as if he hadn’t seen her for a long time and couldn’t

get enough of her.

“That’s fine.” Ashley glanced at his head, hoping that the injury would heal as soon as possible without

leaving any sequelae.

“By the way, we suppressed the news that you were in a coma and didn’t make it public.” Ashley told

him what had happened these days. “Joseph and Tom dealt with the business in the company, but

there is a lot of paperwork that needs to be handled by you personally.”

Valentin nodded.

“Fortunately, you woke up today. If you hadn’t woken up, we wouldn’t be able to hide your coma.”

Ashley’s eyelashes trembled slightly. If he didn’t wake up, Ashley wouldn’t be able to bear it, and the tip

of her nose

turned sore at the thought.

Valentin saw her tearful eyes and felt extremely distressed.

He didn’t want Ashley to suffer, so he held her hand tenderly and joked. in a casual tone, “I’m not dead

yet.”

Hearing this, Ashley immediately reached out and covered his mouth. “Don’t joke about it.”

She was too sensitive about death now to take any outrageous jokes.

Valentin lowered his head and chuckled, pulling down her hand and covering her mouth. His voice was

still hoarse but inexplicably pleasant. “You love me so much, Ashley.”

Ashley glanced at him and lowered her sights at the sumptuous breakfast on the table.

Then, she pressed her red lips slightly and looked up at Valentin with tearful eyes.

“You were in a coma for seven days, and we passed our first anniversary.

“I told before that I’ll tell you on our anniversary if I want to divorce you.’
