Charlotte was devastated. She knew Dr. Felch was just trying to make her feel better.

This was equivalent to asking her to wait forever.

Olivia was still young and she had a bright future ahead of her. Charlotte could not believe she would spend the rest of her life in the hospital.

There was nothing certain about the future. They did not even know if Olivia would ever wake up.

Charlotte’s own experience was scarring. Her mother was a vegetable for years. Although she did wake up in the end, she passed on just a year later.

Charlotte did not want the same thing to happen to Olivia, but there was nothing she could do.

 

Dr. Felch was the best doctor in the world. If he said waiting was the only thing they could do, that must be the case.

“Dr. Felch is right,” Peter responded calmly, “I will take care of her. I’m sure she will wake up one day.”

 

Peter was surprisingly optimistic. “Olivia’s a lucky girl to have you.”

Charlotte was grateful for him.
