Chapter 425
Raymond Croft brought Jack and Anna Fowler to a nearby teahouse and booked a private room.
Layne was curious as to why his father wanted him to come along.
It was evident that Raymond wanted to chat with Jack and Anna.
It was awkward for Layne to participate in such meetings as a young man, albeit being Raymond’s son.
Nonetheless, Layne tagged along at his father’s insistence.
Everyone in the room drank some tea to warm up after they sat down.
Anna asked with concern about the most important thing on her mind. “Raymond, how’s Diane’s treatment coming along in Meridonia? Why is there no news at all? I sent her a message and called her, but there was no response. Is her condition deteriorating?”
Raymond and Layne’s expressions changed when they heard Anna’s query. Both glanced at Jack subconsciously. Jack shook his head at them and gestured that he did not tell Anna about Diane.
Raymond cleared his throat. “Diane is now in a comatose state. There are no signs of her waking up, and she can only rely on instruments and nutrient solutions to survive. The doctor said her chances of waking up are about 50%. I don’t know when she will wake up.”
“What?”
Anna was stunned as if a lightning bolt had just struck her out of the blue. Her face turned pale instantly. Although she had long suspected that Diane’s situation was worsening, she was still surprised by the news.
That explained why Diane had not replied to her messages.
However, she did not expect it to be so drastic!
“Why? Why did this happen to Diane? Boohoo!”
Anna’s eyes instantly turned red. Tears rolled down her face as she covered her *********and cried.
