Chapter 46 I Told You Not to Touch Her
Two days later, Bethany didn't have a fever anymore, but she was still in a coma.
Raymond had never felt that time went by so slowly, nor had he ever been so worried.
He was afraid that Bethany would never be able to wake up and that she would wake up with amnesia
which would further affect her intelligence. His anxiety made him have trouble eating and sleeping.
Raymond perched himself on the edge of her bed. He gingerly dabbed her chapped lips with a cotton
swab and then wiped her hands with warm water.
Because of IV drips, the backs of her hands were blue. Raymond wiped them so gently and didn’t dare
to exert any force.
"Knock-knock."
Hearing the sound of knocking, Raymond looked towards the door. To his surprise, the comer was
Nolan.
"What brings you here?"
How did Nolan know that Bethany was hospitalized here after the car accident?
"I was so bored and wanted to have some drinks with you. I went to your company, but you weren't Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
there. Morgan told me that Bethany had an accident." Nolan looked towards Bethany, who was still in a
coma, and hurriedly asked, "How's she? Is it serious?"
Raymond did not speak but frowned, from which, Nolan could get the answer.
"I’m so sorry for that," Nolan uttered with emotion. He approached the bed and was about to lift her
quilt gingerly. However, noticing his moves, Raymond pressed his hand to stop him.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm a doctor, too. I just want to check whether she's seriously wounded."
"You're a psychiatrist!"
"It's true, but I've also studied surgery, so I can tell."
"I told you not to touch her!" Raymond was harsh as he warned Nolan.
In this regard, Nolan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he had to give up. He could not help
complaining, "You really have a dirty mind. Do you think I can still take advantage of her when she is
wounded?"
Raymond was subdued, and so was Nolan.
"Did you fall for her for real?" Seeing how nervous Raymond was just now, Nolan said knowingly, "Look
at the dark circles under your eyes. You haven't slept in the past two days, have you?"
"I'm not in the mood to joke with you right now. If you have nothing else to do, get out of here!"
Raymond was worried sick now, so he didn’t feel like talking nonsense with him.
"OK, fine. I’m not gonna pull your leg." Nolan said very seriously, "She seems to have been injured
seriously. You gotta take good care of her. In the face of such a sudden disaster, the victims will surely
get emotional and lose their temper for no reason. You have to be tolerant of her."
"You don't need to remind me of that." Raymond ordered instead, "Don’t let Damion know about
Bethany's car accident."
"I know." Nolan took another look at Bethany again and then said to Raymond, "Look after her carefully.
Call me if needed."
Raymond was silent.
After Nolan left, Raymond took a long sigh and continued to sit next to the bed. Eyes on her, he said
softly, "Bethany, can you hear me? If you can, try to wake up. Think of your two kids. They are still
waiting for you."
He didn’t sleep for the whole night again. He hadn’t slept for three nights, which kind of reached his
limit. In the end. he put his head on the edge of the bed and fell asleep at the crack of dawn.
Raymond did not know how long he had slept. Once he heard the subtle noise on the bed, he quickly
woke up.
Bethany’s body twitched as if in great pain, and she grimaced just like the last time she had done when
she had a fever.
Finally, her tightly closed eyes opened, but she looked miserable. Raymond immediately asked, "How
are you feeling?"
The next second, Bethany felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to vomit. She subconsciously tried to
prop herself up, but her movements almost tore her apart.
"You have wounds all over your body. Don't move." Seeing that she wanted to throw up, Raymond
spread his palms in front of her. However, Bethany had not eaten for so long that she could only retch,
and nothing came out of her throat.
Raymond hastily called the doctor over. The latter examined her as Bethany uttered with difficulty, "My
head is splitting..."
She could wake up all because of the severe headache.
She felt her head splitting and pain all over her body. It was like tens of thousands of worms gnawing at
her wounds.
She was overwhelmed with pain, so much so that she would rather die!
"Doctor, what's wrong with her head? Does it have anything to do with her brain injury?"
"Yes." The doctor said, "We’ll give her a pain-relieving injection now, but it takes some time to take
effect, so she has to put up with it before that."
After the injection, the doctor warned Raymond, "Be sure to control her body. Don't let her move, and
don't let her scratch her wounds in case of being infected again."
"OK," Raymond hurriedly answered.
From the moment of the car accident, Bethany's brain fell into a deep sleep, and she did not know
when she began to have the subconscious.
Many fragments of the past flashed through her mind like movie clips, but they were all painful
memories, which tormented her.
She felt pain not only physically but also mentally, but she could not open her eyes, nor was she able to
speak, let alone move.
A voice in her heart seemed to have been saying, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to meet you…"
Now she opened her eyes, but she still couldn't tell whether it was an illusion or a dream, and the pain
in her body made her unable to think straight.
"Bethany, don't move, just lump it… After the injection, the pain will soon go away."
Raymond controlled her hands, but he dared not exert strength as the backs of her hands were full of
needle marks. He leaned down and gently hugged her while kept talking to pacify her.
After a long time, Raymond felt that he was sweating bullets because of nervousness, and Bethany
stopped struggling. She was also sweating profusely and gasping for breath.
"How are you now? Feeling better?" Raymond asked worriedly.
Bethany did not have the strength to speak at the moment. She looked at Raymond blankly, which
made Raymond worried sick again.
Had she lost her memory? Was her intelligence affected?
"Bethany, don't scare me. Can you tell me who I am? What's my name?"
Bethany looked at Raymond in a daze. After a long time, she whispered, "Raymond Zavala…"
Hearing that, Raymond finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, she still remembered him.
"Bethany, you are hurt all over, and your body is fragile. Stop talking. Lie down for a rest. Tell me if
there is anything wrong with you."
Because of the injection, the pain in her body slowly weakened, and she began to gain consciousness
little by little.
She had a car accident on her way to Zavala Group, but she had no idea who sent her to the hospital
and what happened after that.
As for why Raymond was here, it was impossible for her to know…
