Two weeks passed, but Clara had not yet regained consciousness. The last CT scan showed no significant problems with her brain nerves. And the clotted blood clots also gradually shrink. It was a miracle they got it.
David still faithfully accompanies Clara every morning before work and at night after work. Every day, David told her everything he did and everything that happened. He didn't want Clara to miss important things, even if it was just one day. David realized the chances of Clara listening to him were minimal. But he kept telling her. At least that reduces his worry.
Robert also explained that Clara's condition was beginning to stabilize. And maybe Clara still needs a break right now, so she doesn't want to wake up from her coma yet. David is sure that Robert spoke like that only because he did not want to make David worry even more.
"Clara, don't you feel sorry for me? I don't have an opponent to argue with when I'm in the office. Come on up, open your eyes, Clara. Let's go back to our usual activities. All the projects are still hanging because I can't make up my mind."
David held back his sobs. He turned his face away for a moment and wiped away the tears that wanted to drip.
"Boss, let's get up. I miss your angry face so much. I also miss the harsh words you often say. And your jokes." David continued in a sad voice.
"I promise I'll tell you everything you want to hear after you wake up. I will answer all the questions you will ask me. Even if Robert gets mad at me, I don't care. I want to see you open your eyes, Clara."

A month has passed. Clara finally regained consciousness. When she came to her senses, everyone in front cried happily. God finally hears the prayers they say. Mary's tears could not be contained. She hugged Clara very tightly and thanked God many times.
David was no less happy when he saw his sister's eyes open. He doesn't know how it feels right now. Everything that happened during this month was very different. After a team of doctors checked Clara's condition, Clara was able to rest again.
"Mom, why am I here again?"
At this time, Clara was still confused, as if she remembered that she was at the inauguration night of the company's acquisition and was talking to Andrew.
"You're in a coma again, Clara. You've been here for a month."
"Oh, My God. I'm sorry if I made it difficult for you while I was unconscious."
"Pssst! You don't have to say that, Clara. I didn't feel any trouble at all. The most important thing for me now is your health."
Clara looked at David, waiting for her brother to speak. Clara knew, from his eyes, that there was a lot that David wanted to talk about. There was a sense of longing and also a sense of relief from that look in the eyes.
"Here."Call Clara while waving her hand at David.
"Why? You miss me?"Asked David curtly. David approached, and he immediately hugged Clara's frail body.
"Please, don't faint again. If you want to ask me something, ask me."
"Yes. I'm sorry. I made you worry and trouble when I was in a coma."
"Cih! It doesn't matter now!"
As they were talking, Robert went into the ICU room. He tells them Clara will soon be transferred to a regular ward. Robert has prepared the VVIP room.
"Clara, I hope this kind of thing will never happen again. Do you know how I felt at that time? I was baffled and also worried."
Robert hugged Clara tightly. Robert and Clara's relationship was more than just best friends. Robert loved Clara.
"I'm sorry, Rob. I always have and always caused you trouble."
"What's wrong with you today? Why do you always apologize? It's not like you normally are."Said Robert, smiling sweetly at Clara.
"You're right, Rob. The word that came out of Clara's mouth was, 'I'm sorry.' Perhaps, at this time, her brain could only remember two words." David immediately put his hand on Clara's shoulder. And embrace it tightly.
"Excuse me. I want to take Clara's mother to her room." The nurse came and asked for permission to take Clara to her room.
Clara was escorted to her treatment room. After everything was done, the nurse said goodbye to resign as well as Robert. Because he still has to do the operation in half an hour.
Mrs. Maria also said goodbye to going home because she could no longer bear to leave the orphanage children. She was pleased when Clara realized it. David also asked Clara to rest again, considering her condition has not fully recovered.

It's getting late. But this man's eyes could not be closed. There is a sense of sadness and anger that overwhelms him. Andrew got word from one of the detectives he paid to investigate Nathan's accident case.
Nathan is the only brother Andrew has. He was shocked to hear that Nathan had been intentionally harmed.
That night, Nathan visits Steve's house. He asks Steve to let Clara go. Because of what Nathan saw, Steve didn't fully love her. Nathan also knew that Steve was being betrothed by his mother. Steve's mother also dislikes Clara. She thinks Clara will be the only problem in their family.
Steve doesn't accept Nathan asking him to let Clara go. For Steve, what already belongs to him will still belong even if she marries someone else. But Steve didn't want to let Clara go. Nathan was angry with Steve's irresponsible attitude.
They argued for a long time, and finally, Steve relented. He brought Nathan a cup of hot tea. And what angered Andrew was that it was Stevelah who gave the sleeping pills to Nathan.
Andrew didn't think it through. He didn't expect that Steve would have the heart to do that to his cousin. He was always there for Steve. The man who always helped Steve when he was in trouble.
Doesn't Steve remember all the good Nathan's ever done? Andrew promises to avenge Nathan's death. He's going to ruin Steve.
