All Chapters of From Coma to Queen: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Neil would either stay silent or brush it off with, "You'll understand when you're older."Lindsay was worse. She had whispered to Charlotte, "Lottie, since your real mom doesn't want you anymore, why don't we stop wanting her too?"The memory stabbed Arya like a knife every time.Neil and Lindsay had stolen her children's love.If only Neil had explained just once that she had loved them enough to die for them. Maybe Charlotte wouldn't be so attached to Lindsay now, calling her "Mommy Lindsay" with such sweetness.Arya clenched her cup of milk, swallowing her anger and sorrow. She forced a smile and said, "I understand, Neil. I'll be more careful in the future."Satisfied, Neil said, "I talked to my dad today. We agreed to let you stay on as head of R&D. HR will arrange everything. You can start back at the company next week."That surprised her.Neil's phone vibrated on the table. Since Arya couldn't see, he didn't hide the screen as he tapped it openly.It was an audio mess

"Don't… Please, don't take me away, Officer…" Charlotte mumbled in her sleep. Her small face twisted in fear as she shook her head.Seeing her like that shattered Arya's heart. Yet what Charlotte said next stabbed even deeper.She called out, "Mommy Lindsay, help me, Mommy Lindsay…"It felt as if all the strength drained from Arya's body.She crouched beside Charlotte's bed and gently took her hand, tears welling in her eyes.…That night, Neil didn't come home.Arya wasn't surprised. She didn't even care.When she woke, she headed downstairs.Patricia was already in the kitchen, preparing breakfast.Arya stood silently behind her, watching as Patricia pulled two premium Wagyu steaks from the fridge and slipped them into her own bag. Then she took two cheap cuts from another bag and placed them in the pan."Patricia," Arya called.Startled, Patricia turned, clearly flustered to see her."M-Mrs. Hammond, you're up early…" she stammered.Arya hummed and asked, "Making break

Arya said calmly, "Then go cook another steak. Give it to Chris and Lottie. What's the matter? Do I need your permission just to eat a piece of steak in my own house? Or should I call Neil and ask him?""That's not what I meant, Mrs. Hammond," Patricia replied awkwardly, forcing a smile.Arya remained expressionless. Her hand found the edge of the plate in front of her and gently pushed it forward. The meaning was clear. She wanted Patricia to take a piece from the kids' plates right now.Charlotte thought Arya was deliberately picking on Patricia and got upset. She angrily tossed down her fork and yelled, "I don't want to eat anymore. You can have it all. Come on, Chris, let's go! I want to have Gem Cottage's avo-toast. Let's have the driver take us!"She didn't really want avocado toast. Her real reason was that Lindsay loved the ones from Gem Cottage, and she wanted to bring some to her.Dragging her still-hesitating brother behind her, she ignored Arya's attempts to stop them.

Lindsay was on the phone when Neil walked in. She handed him the receiver and said, "It's Dr. Oxley calling.""Seth?" Neil asked, raising an eyebrow in surprise.Christopher, who had followed Neil inside, paused briefly before walking calmly to the small sofa and sitting down. Without changing his expression, he pulled out his tablet and began reading international news.Neil took the phone and asked, "Dr. Oxley, what's going on?"Christopher glanced at his father from the corner of his eye.Seth hesitated. Clearly, Christopher had not told Neil about Arya's fall at home. For a moment, Seth seemed unsure how to respond. After a pause, he decided not to put Christopher on the spot.He spoke carefully. "Mr. Hammond, I happened to be passing by the villa and thought I'd stop to say hello. I ran into Mrs. Hammond, and she had taken a fall. I helped treat her injury and wanted to inform you."Neil frowned. "Arya fell? Is it serious?""It's minor. Nothing too bad," Seth answered.Ne

Melody drove out of the city and eventually arrived at a cemetery in the suburbs.Arya had come to visit her biological mother's grave. She had barely stepped out of the car when Diane called."Arya, are you there yet?" Diane asked."Just arrived," Arya said."Good. Send my respects to your mom," Diane said.She had a major meeting that morning with a hard-to-book director and couldn't make the trip herself. She had prepared two bouquets of white chrysanthemums the night before and left them in the car.Now both bouquets were in Arya's arms. Hearing someone call for the director on Diane's end, she said quickly, "Go take care of your meeting. I'll talk to you later."It had been five years, but the cemetery's layout was still familiar. Arya used to visit often and tell her mother everything.She had never found cemeteries frightening. The people buried there were someone's family, deeply loved and missed.When she reached her mother's grave, she paused in surprise.The site w
