One Hundred and Fourty One

CHAPTER 141

Mr. Donovan, Maria, and Dr. Benneth were now standing around Wilson Blake's body that had just been laid on the bed. He had just finished a thorough examination of his condition after showing movement.

Wilson was in a coma due to an injury to his brain, which was the result of complications from the heart disease he had been suffering from for years. Wilson fought hard, but he had to end up in a hospital room after losing consciousness and being in a static state for almost over a year.

All the work had been handed over to Mr. Donovan. Donovan. He was the Wilson family's lawyer since Wilson was a teenager. He was an experienced lawyer who even received ten percent of Wilson Blake's estate which could amount to hundreds of millions of dollars in assets, stocks and cash in storage.

Mr. Donovan. Donovan who was taller than Dr. Benneth cleared his throat, he had been standing there since five minutes ago and watching Wilson Blake's sleeping body. "What is Mr. Blake's actual condition? Hasn't there been any movement?"

Dr. Benneth checked the small board in hand, it had just been handed over from Liliana. The man put on the glasses he kept inside the pocket of his medical coat, then began to explain, "Judging from the movement, Mr. Blake's condition is good. It looks like he'll wake up in the next few hours if nothing else changes. I've asked Liliana to stay here and keep an eye on Mr. Blake's condition."

Mr. Donovan nodded in agreement. Mr. Donovan nodded in agreement, he was quite grateful for the role of the doctors and nurses who were faithfully looking after Mr. Blake. The reason for this was because Mr. Mr. Donovan became the primary custodian of the entire estate and assets during Mr. Blake's illness. Mr. Blake asked Mr. Mr. Blake asked Mr. Donovan to manage Ace, and Ace was chosen as the interim CEO to lead some of Mr. Blake's companies.

"We have to prepare all the work reports when Mr. Blake is fully awake," Mr. Donovan muttered. Donovan. "We've received a lot of complaints since Ace went to jail and we wonder how Mr. Blake will react to hearing all this. Would it be good if we talked to him about business right away?"

Dr. Benneth sighed. "He's been in a coma for over a year. He will need time to recover his brain function. He will also need to undergo therapy to repair the functions of the organs in his body. Mr. Wilson might have trouble walking during the process. So I don't think... talking about business will help him in this situation."

Mr. Donovan looked at Maria, the secretary. Donovan looked at Maria, his personal secretary, then nodded in code. Maria returned the nod in kind. She could immediately understand what her boss meant since they had worked more than five years together. Mr. Donovan then turned to Dr. Benneth. "What should we do to help him recover quickly? We might explain to our colleagues that Mr. Blake is showing good movement, but it's only temporary. They will need a clear time when they will be able to resume business."

"In the end, it's all about politics and business, isn't it?" Dr. Beneth lowered his glasses, then handed the small board containing Mr. Blake's health report to Liliana who stood behind him faithfully and obediently.

As the room buzzed with discussion about Wilson Blake's condition, an unexpected ripple ran through the monitor. A slight tremor passed through Wilson's fingers, catching everyone's attention.

Dr. Benneth's eyes widened behind his glasses. "That's unusual. Quick, check the readings!"

Liliana rushed to the monitor, her brow furrowed in concentration. "There's a spike in brain activity! The neural patterns are fluctuating. This could mean-"

Before she could finish, Wilson's eyelids fluttered. A collective gasp filled the room as his eyes slowly opened, dazed and confused, trying to adjust to his surroundings.

"Mr. Blake?" Dr. Benneth approached, speaking softly. "Can you hear me?"

Wilson blinked a few times before focusing on the faces around him. His gaze fell on Mr. Donovan, his lawyer. Donovan, his lawyer, who stood there with a sense of anticipation and worry. "Wilson, it's me, Donovan. You're in the hospital," he said softly.

A flash of realization flashed through Wilson's eyes, clouded by confusion. "I... How long has it been?"

"You've been unconscious for over a year," Dr. Benneth explained, watching for danger signs.

Wilson's fingers twitched, a sign he was trying to move. "Ace... my company?"

Mr. Donovan exchanged glances with Maria, communicating silently. Donovan then stepped forward, his voice soft yet firm. "Wilson, at this time, your health is our priority. Your business can wait. We are here to help you heal."

Wilson nodded weakly, the effort visible on his face. "Therapy? "Dr. Benneth nodded. "Yes, Wilson. You will need therapy to regain your strength and mobility. It will be a gradual process."

Dr. Benneth confirmed to Liliana who was still standing between them warily, "His condition is not completely stable yet, he still needs to rest. Please tell the staff to prepare for her therapy session and make sure she is comfortable." he then whispered to Mr. Donovan, "When you speak, please tell the staff to prepare. Donovan, "Your talking time should be limited so that Mr. Blake can rest."

"Yes, Doctor," Mr. Donovan replied. Donovan replied.

Mr. Donovan stepped closer to Wilson's bedside, his voice sincere. "We'll take care of everything, Wilson. Focus on getting better. We'll go ahead, get everything you need ready."

"Okay."

Wilson managed a faint smile before exhaustion took him again, his eyelids drooping. The room fell silent, leaving the small group to contemplate the uncertain journey ahead.

Outside the hospital room, whispers began to circulate. News of Wilson Blake waking up from a year-long coma spread like wildfire, causing ripples in the business world, where speculation and anticipation were mixed. The fate of his empire hung in the balance, awaiting his recovery.

Little do they know, Wilson's return is only the beginning of a story that challenges not only his physical limitations, but also the web of alliances, secrets, and ambitions woven around his life and legacy.
