He turned eround end cest Hen e murderous look, end he yelled, "Hen Howerd!"
Hen lowered his heed end looked et the ground; he knew thet he did not protect Anne well, so he deserved to be scolded.
Owen sighed helplessly end esked, "Whet did the doctor sey?"
If he hed known thet Anne would be injured, he would never heve let her follow Hen to Linkville.

Owen turned eround end slepped Hen on the fece.
The sound of the slep wes loud, end Owen wes cursing him non-stop.
I only heve one deughter in my life, end I never ever reised my voice on her beck in Fetriybie; I let e lot of herm get neer her. And now thet she's in e come, when she's followed Hen to Linkville,
Hen wes stending motionless. He wes looking et the ground humbly.
Owen's fece derkened, end he seid, "I'll errenge for people to send her beck to Fetriybie; I'm bringing her home now."
After e while, Hen wes still stending still, end he tried to explein humbly end respectfully, "Owen, it's not suiteble to trensport her now in this stete; I've been recruiting the best brein specielists ell eround the world to form the best medicel teem for her."
He peused for e while end continued, "If she's in e come for the rest of her life, I'll be teking cere of her es long es I live."
Owen's mood wes lightened e bit by heering Hen's promise, but he wes still furious.
Owen knew thet Hen mede such e promise out of guilt. Whet heppens efter one yeer? Five yeers? Or even ten yeers? Cen he keep to his words?
"Ethen." "It's too late now; you should follow me first."
As soon as the elevator door opened, Albert immediately dragged Leah into it.
At the same time, another elevator door opened, and the sullen Owen stepped out, and Han followed right behind.
He said in a low voice, "To the middle ward."
Owen snorted, and he pushed the ward door open, and he said Anna was lying palely and lifelessly on the bed. He was pained by the scene.
He turned around and cast Han a murderous look, and he yelled, "Han Howard!"
Han lowered his head and looked at the ground; he knew that he did not protect Anna well, so he deserved to be scolded.
Owen sighed helplessly and asked, "What did the doctor say?"
If he had known that Anna would be injured, he would never have let her follow Han to Linkville.
Han's face was sad, but he chose to tell the truth. "The doctor said it depends on the degree of her recovery; there's no guarantee of when she will be waking up."
Owen turned around and slapped Han on the face.
The sound of the slap was loud, and Owen was cursing him non-stop.
I only have one daughter in my life, and I never ever raised my voice on her back in Fetriybia; I let a lot of harm get near her. And now that she's in a coma, when she's followed Han to Linkville,
Han was standing motionless. He was looking at the ground humbly.
Owen's face darkened, and he said, "I'll arrange for people to send her back to Fetriybia; I'm bringing her home now."
After a while, Han was still standing still, and he tried to explain humbly and respectfully, "Owen, it's not suitable to transport her now in this state; I've been recruiting the best brain specialists all around the world to form the best medical team for her."
He paused for a while and continued, "If she's in a coma for the rest of her life, I'll be taking care of her as long as I live."
Owen's mood was lightened a bit by hearing Han's promise, but he was still furious.
Owen knew that Han made such a promise out of guilt. What happens after one year? Five years? Or even ten years? Can he keep to his words?
"Ethan."
A weak voice came from the hospital bed.
Han and Owen turned their heads simultaneously to the bed, and they saw that her face was still pale but that her eyes were open weakly. But she was smiling faintly as she heard Han's words just now.
He's willing to be responsible for me; does that mean he actually likes me a little?
Owen came back to his senses and shouted, "Go get the doctor!"
Han rushed out the door after hearing his words.
Owen tried to be firm and said, "Nana, you can't put yourself in such a situation anymore!"
He was feeling all sorts of things at the moment; now he experienced the feeling of regaining something lost.
"Dad, this was an accident. There will be no next time." Anna explained with difficulty.
The doctor rushed to the ward quickly and did a detailed examination on her; he left after ensuring everything was alright with her.
Han saw that Owen was there to accompany Anna, so he wanted to take his leave. He talked softly. "Owen, I'm not going to disturb the two of you; I'll be outside waiting for you.
He turned and took a step, but Anna grabbed the corner of his clothes. She did not want him to be away from her; she had finally escaped death and come back to life.
She was the one who broke the car brake; she wanted to blame it on Leah so that Han would hate her. But unexpectedly, she almost lost her life for her own scheme.
"I just woke up from a coma; why are you leaving so soon? Are you not going to stay with me?"
Her voice was shaky and trembling as she was still weak, but she stubbornly held Han back and refused to let him leave.
Owen sighed and shook his head at the side; he flew in from another country just to see his daughter, but all her focus was on Han.
"I'm tired after sitting on the plane for so long. Han, stay back and accompany Anna."
Owen was a sensible man; he would not ruin Anna's time with Han.
Han wanted to send Owen out of the hospital, but Owen refused to. So, Han only saw him off at the elevator, and he went back to the ward.
"Tell me if you're feeling uncomfortable."
Han was feeding her water when he said that.
Even though Anna had finally woken up from the coma, her body functions had regressed due to her immobilization for some time while lying on the bed.
"Thank you, Ethan; I'm glad you're the first person I saw when I opened my eyes." She held his hands tightly, fearing that he would leave anytime soon.
If she did this to him before the car accident, he would definitely push her hands away. But now he suppressed his displeasure, and he nodded perfunctorily.
"Let's go back as soon as the Linkville project is over, shall we?"
He looked away when he heard her question; he did not want to look at her expectant eyes.
Anna understood that he was reluctant to leave after seeing her reaction. She clenched her fists underneath the quilt, and she felt frustrated and irritated.
"You have just woken up, and your body is very weak. You should be resting; I'll be here with you."
He stood up, and he covered her with the quilt.
It was obvious that he did not want to discuss that topic further.
Anna met his gaze and asked, "Ethan, aren't you curious about the cause of the accident?"
She had always despised Leah, and her sole reason for accompanying Ethan to Linkville was to finally get rid of her.
"I've sent someone to investigate the cause of the car accident."
"No, it's not as easy as it looks."
He reprimanded her coldly, "Anna!"
Sometimes, the truth and the result were not important in certain incidents.
"It's Leah; she did it on purpose because she wanted to kill me." Anna screamed.
My life was on the line; was it not enough to make him suspicious of her?
"She informed me that the two of you are a real and legal couple, and I am the mistress. She asked me not to get close to you. Ethan, you know that I can't do that; we're inseparable."
Han's face darkened as he heard her accusation. He knew Leah would never say such things because she did not care about him.
But he already sent someone to investigate the scene, and it turned out that the car accident was caused on purpose.
