"Cough cough..."
"Laurel, you're awake."
Seeing this, Terry Cooke hurried over, and upon seeing his wife truly open her eyes, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Laurel Milton struggled to open her eyes, looking around blankly; her gaze landed on Terry Cooke, and a tender smile immediately appeared on her somewhat haggard face.
"Terry..."
"Laurel, you... you can talk now?"
Terry Cooke was completely stunned, his heart's joy overshadowed by the shock of the moment.
You have to understand that Laurel Milton had been sick for many years. In the beginning, it was just constant trouble with her legs, but then it slowly developed into full-body paralysis, and later she even lost the ability to speak.
When Terry Cooke communicated with her, it was entirely a mix of guessing and conjecturing.
In comparison, the doctor beside them was utterly lost for words.
