No one can guarantee that Sophia will wake up. No one is sure when Sophia will wake up. Everything is unknown, and nothing can be controlled by man.

Xiao Zheng stayed in the ward inch by inch. Ruth and Nika also alternately accompanied Xiao Zheng and guarded Sophia's side. In this world, these three people are already Sophia's only remaining relatives. Even if she was so powerful in Jefferson. In fox hunting is so echoed. But in this world, there are only a handful of people who can confide with her and really make her believe.

She is lonely and suspicious.

After her father's death, she couldn't trust anyone for a long time and was always full of a sense of crisis. Even though she now has the ability to take charge of herself and is regarded as a dangerous person by countless people, her heart has always been lonely and empty.

Will she still wake up?

The world is so cold and so cruel, is she still willing to wake up?

On the seventh day after hospitalization. She told everyone with practical actions.

She'll wake up.

Even if there are not many things that make her nostalgic, one Xiao Zheng makes her reluctant to leave.

She finally woke up. Although she couldn't make a sound when she woke up, she could only lie motionless on the bed. But the first person she saw when she opened her eyes was Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng, who has been guarding for seven days.

She smiled, at Xiao Zheng, slightly opened her thin red lips, and couldn't make a sound, and she could only judge what she said by the shape of her lips.

How can Xiao Zheng not understand?

The first time Sophia said it, he understood. At this moment, it is the third time that Sophia has said it.

"I know." Xiao Zheng's voice trembled slightly, holding Sophia's palm and said softly. "I know—"

Sophia had a pure smile on her face that Xiao Zheng had never seen before. As charming as a lily. She only clutched Xiao Zheng's palm, as if she was worried that she would lose it again. I won't let go.

Her awakening was also a miracle for the attending doctors. After a thorough and precise examination, the doctor said to Xiao Zheng very sincerely: "At least in my personal experience, Sophia is the most tenacious patient I have ever seen. ”

"When will she fully recover?" Xiao Zheng asked cautiously.

"Can't be sure." The doctor said with a look of embarrassment. "Even, she may never fully recover."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Zheng frowned and asked. My heart was pounding again.

"Mr. Xiao, I don't know if you've heard of it. When a person's leg is broken, even by the standards of the medical community, the patient has fully recovered and can walk normally. But from a psychological point of view, the patient is still not recovered. Because the patient is still unable to walk normally. The doctor said solemnly. It's a kind of inertia. A psychological problem. The cause is complex, and there is currently no effective treatment, so you can only overcome it on your own. Some people can overcome their own psychological problems. But most people can't overcome it in their lifetime. To some extent, we also classify these kinds of questions as traumatic sequelae. ”

Xiao Zheng stared at the doctor incredulously: "You mean, Sophia is likely to be unable to speak for the rest of her life?" ”

"Yes." The doctor said regretfully. "Although Miss Sophia's wound did not hurt her throat. but destroyed the trachea. Although this aspect can be fully recovered. But the psychological impact on Miss Sophia is difficult to control. For now, at least, Miss Sophia will have a hard time talking. ”

Ruth and Nika also knew about Sophia's specific situation, but neither of them dared to tell Sophia. Every day, she just accompanied Sophia with a forced smile. Talk to her about work. Tell her about what happened in New York. As for Xiao Zheng, when he accompanies Sophia, he will try to talk as little as possible, and just accompany him silently. Feed her some supplements.

The days passed day by day, calculating the time, Xiao Zheng had been in Tokyo for nearly a month. Although Lin Huayin did not urge him. But at least from Shen Han and Tang Ming's complaints on the phone, it can be seen that as the head of the overseas department and product department, he has not returned to preside over the work for a month, which has made the people below a little busy.

I went back to the office to learn about the implementation of the Phantom. Xiao Zheng went straight back to the hospital and accompanied Sophia, who was still sick in bed but was in an unusually low mood.

At first, Sophia simply thought she was injured, and it was very badly injured. That's why I can't speak, and I don't have the strength to speak. But with the recovery of physical strength little by little. Even the scar on her throat was disposed of by special means, and Sophia could no longer accept that she still couldn't speak.

As Jefferson's biggest boss. As the leader of the two major alliances in Europe and North America. If Sophia couldn't even speak, wouldn't it be a fatal blow to her?

In any case, no matter how powerful a person is, if she is a mute who can't speak, it will affect her authority to a certain extent, right? What's more, she's just a woman—

Xiao Zheng is aware of the pressure Sophia is facing, so whenever he accompanies Sophia, he will try to communicate with Sophia as little as possible. It's usually with movements, or with eyes.

And Sophia didn't seem to want to show her anxiety and uneasiness in front of Xiao Zheng, every time Xiao Zheng appeared, she had a beautiful smile on her face. There was even a hint of cunning in the smile. It's exactly the same as it was at the beginning.

Maybe in Sophia's opinion, only in this way can Xiao Zheng look at her like she did at the beginning. Think of her as a smart, capable, and strong enough woman.

Only in this way can she be qualified to compete with Lin Huayin. Otherwise, she's nothing.

Before Ruth came to pick up Xiao Zheng's class, Sophia suddenly picked up a notepad and a pen from under the pillow and wrote a sentence with a brush. Then hand it over to Xiao Zheng.

"You go back to Pearl. I'm going back to New York in a few days. ”

Xiao Zheng looked at what was written on the notepad, and then at Sophia, who was smiling strongly. Heartache. Sophia, who used to be able to fool herself with just one mouth, now has to rely on writing to communicate. In her heart, I'm afraid it is extremely uncomfortable and aggrieved, right?

But she refused to show anything, and Xiao Zheng couldn't help her.

"I want to be with you again." Xiao Zheng said softly.

When Sophia heard this, she took her notepad and pen and quickly wrote a paragraph on the notepad.

"You don't have to apologize. I volunteered. And, too, I should pay it back. If you want to blame me, blame me for my bad intentions, and I always want to take advantage of you. ”

After Xiao Zheng read this paragraph, his heart was even more panicked.

Ruth and Nika had already told him the purpose of Sophia's visit to Tokyo. And in order not to feel guilty, Sophia would rather let herself misunderstand that she came to Tokyo just to take advantage of herself...
