All Chapters of From Coma to Queen: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Once someone met a man like Troy, he became a bold stroke of ink etched deeply into the fabric of their life. Even a single encounter was impossible to forget.Arya hadn't just met Troy. They had been bitter rivals, matched in every way. Their professor would often joke they were two stars doomed never to shine in the same sky.Now, as that tall, commanding figure approached in a dark, perfectly tailored suit that sculpted the sharp lines of his face like a Roman statue, Arya felt a primal urge to flee.He was more dangerous than ever—colder, steadier, like a bottomless whirlpool. Silent, yet capable of pulling someone under in an instant.Could anything be more humiliating than running into her former nemesis at her lowest point? Especially when that man, looking sharp and successful, would undoubtedly laugh in his sleep if he recognized her like this.Just then, Troy's voice cut through her thoughts. He ordered, "Apologize to the… 'blind' lady."At those words, the tension in A

Neil had assumed that when Arya mentioned updating the garden, she meant pulling a few weeds at most. After all, those tulips filling the beds had been the ones she had planted for him when they got married.Seeing him standing there with a dark expression, Arya walked over and gently tugged the edge of his coat. Her voice turned soft, deliberately pitiful. "Neil, are you mad at me?"Even if he had been, Neil couldn't bring himself to snap at her like this."Of course not. How could I ever be mad at you?" he said, forcing a softer tone as he reached out and stroked her cheek. "Why the sudden switch to yellow roses? I thought you always liked tulips."Arya found the moment bitterly ironic.Back in university, she had once mentioned that she liked roses. Neil hadn't said anything at the time, but she later overheard him on the phone with a friend, calling roses tacky.Because he didn't like them, she never brought it up again.She had spent so many years loving him, compromising u

Arya was standing outside the door and had heard everything clearly. She shut her eyes tightly, pain stabbing through her chest and nearly making her lose her balance.After steadying herself, she forced her steps forward, tapping her cane deliberately."Chris, Lottie, can Mommy come in?" she asked.The door stood ajar and opened with a gentle push.The moment she stepped inside, Charlotte bolted to the bed and yanked the blanket over her head, clearly avoiding her.Disappointment washed over Arya.Christopher stared at her, flustered. His tiny fists clenched, and his wide eyes darted nervously around the room.Had she heard what he said just now?At five years old, his emotions were written all over his face. There was no need to guess.Of course, Arya noticed the guilt in Christopher's eyes. Her heart softened. She said deliberately, "Mommy's hearing isn't fully recovered yet. You have to speak louder if you want me to hear you."Christopher visibly relaxed, letting out a b

Neil stepped out of his private elevator on the other side of the building and strode toward his office. As he pushed the door open, he saw Asher already seated on the couch, clearly having waited for some time."You're late," Asher said, sipping his coffee.Neil sighed in frustration. "Ary insisted on coming with me. It took a while to settle her in.""Asya?" Asher repeated, frowning. "Isn't she still blind? And she's still clinging to you like that?"His voice dripped with sarcasm. "She's still obsessed with you, huh? Like a leech you just can't shake."Asher let out a cold chuckle, recalling all the things Arya had done over the years. "Without that shameless persistence and manipulative streak, how else could someone like her marry into the Hammonds?"Neil didn't deny it, but his expression grew more complex.It was true. Everyone knew Arya loved him with single-minded but unshaken devotion, so deeply it bordered on obsession.Why would she suddenly change? Maybe replacing

Rina recognized the woman as Arya Songhurst, the so-called "living dead" for the past five years.Once she confirmed Arya's identity, Rina scanned her from head to toe, barely concealing the disgust and hostility in her eyes.Arya remained unfazed. Rina was clearly one of Lindsay's allies. It was no surprise she disliked Arya.Rina strutted over, wearing a mocking smile. "Ms. Songhurst, you're even more interesting in person than your reputation suggests."Arya raised an eyebrow and returned the smile. "Ms. Songhurst? For the past seven years, everyone here has known me as the R&D manager or Mrs. Hammond. Are you refusing to acknowledge my title, or do you simply not recognize me as Mr. Hammond's wife?"Her voice stayed calm and polite, but her words cut like a knife wrapped in silk.Rina froze, her face stiffening with embarrassment. Then her eyes brightened as she spotted someone approaching from behind. She waved excitedly and called out, "Lindsay!"Arya turned slowly, her su
