Upon hearing what Wendy said, Mrs. Tanner turned around immediately and grabbed Wendy’s hand as she asked anxiously, "Wendy, so you have any other ideas? You have known Zen for so many years. You should know her better than anyone else. Who do you think is the most important person in her life?"

Usually, Mrs. Tanner would be so jealous if she found out Zen had someone more important than her parents in her heart.

However, at this moment, she could not wait for this person to show up in order to wake her daughter up.

"Indeed, I have thought of a person. But..." Wendy paused as she saw Mrs.

Tanner’s eyes welled up.

"Speak your mind then and wait no more," Mrs. Tanner urged.

Wendy turned around and looked at Mr. Tanner at one side.

Mr. Tanner figured out who Wendy was talking about as expected.

Upon hearing it, Mr. Tanner shook his head vigorously as he objected, "No! Don’t call him over!"

"Who! Who is that person?" Mrs. Tanner asked when both of them were being so secretive. She then asked again, "Who is that person? Couldn’t you look at the situation now? What is more important than Zen’s life?"

"The person she referred to is Christian Lucas!" Mr. Tanner said as he took a deep breath. Then, he continued to say reluctantly, "Zen must have loved this man very much. That’s why Wendy wanted to give it a try by asking him to wake Zen up."

"Well... ask him to come over then!" Mrs. Tanner said as she looked at her daughter on the sickbed. She could not bring herself to think of other things at all.

"Are you out of your mind?" Mr. Tanner scolded Mrs. Tanner mercilessly. "Do you know who Christian is?

He was the one who put Zen in such a miserable state! He could hound Zen to death even though she was pregnant with his child.

Do you think he will help us in waking Zen up?

Moreover, Zen would rather die than stay by his side. Do you think he could be of any help if he comes?"

"Well..." Mrs. Tanner burst into tears instantly. She was getting on in years that she took a few steps back as she could not take the blow.

Mr. Tanner approached her immediately to help her up.

He then helped her to the chair carefully.

The atmosphere in the ward turned dead silent again.

The doctor dared not say a single word at all.

However, he braced himself and said in caution, "If the reason why Miss Tanner refused to wake up is because of Christian Lucas. Of course, if that is the truth.

Christian would be the best person to wake her up. After all, the doer should undo what he has done."

Mrs. Tanner, who had already given up her hope, lit up her eyes instantly upon hearing what the doctor said.

She grabbed Mr. Tanner’s hand, and pleaded, "Dear, did you hear what the doctor said? Christian might be able to wake Zen up!"

"Could you live with some integrity? Don’t you know what kind of person Christian is?

Do you really want to plead with that demon to come and wake Zen up?" Mr. Tanner then said harshly. "Zen would not want us to plead with that demon too!"

"You are right! I may not live with integrity. But do you think I care about it now? Zen is my one and only daughter. How could I live without her? I could not bear to see her die before my eyes. I really can’t do it. I’d rather die before everything happens," Mrs. Tanner said as she grabbed Mr. Tanner’s sleeves with one hand and wiped off her tears with another hand.

Mr. Tanner felt so upset when he saw his wife in such a devastating state.

The atmosphere turned silent again.

The whole ward was filled with Mrs. Tanner’s cries.

Upon looking at such a tense situation, the doctor smiled as he said, "Well... I shall take my leave first as I still have something to attend to. Keep me updated on Zen’s situation."

...

Wendy knew what was on Mr. Tanner’s mind.

He did not want to plead with the enemy who caused his daughter to be in such a miserable state.

After all, he was a father, so he could not bear to see his precious daughter pass away just like that.

Therefore, he did not know what to do as well.

"Uncle, Auntie... I can contact Christian," Wendy said. "But I need your approval first. If you are okay with it, I will call him right away."

After all, Zen was their daughter. They had to make the final decision.

Mrs. Tanner nodded her head instantly, "I agree. You contact him for me."

Wendy then turned around to look at Mr. Tanner.

Mr. Tanner still remained silent. He just closed his eyes helplessly.

"All right, I will contact him now," Wendy knew what Mr. Tanner meant by that.

After leaving the ward, Wendy took out her phone and called Christian.

At that particular moment, Christian was in the midst of a meeting.

However, he picked up the call immediately when he saw that the caller was Wendy.

"Wendy..." Christian said instantly after he answered the call.

"I think it would be better for you to call me Wendy Stewart or Mrs. Lucas," Wendy said. She felt extremely uncomfortable when she heard Christian address her in such a manner.

"Did you call me personally to correct the way I address you?" Christian sneered at the other end of the call. "Well, let me guess. You have something to plead with me?"

Without hearing any response from Wendy, Christian continued, "Since you called to plead with me, shouldn’t you show me the correct attitude instead?"

"Christian, I have no time to utter nonsense to you," Wendy said in a cold tone. "I bet that you know about Zen’s condition now. If Zen doesn’t wake up today, she would most probably never wake up ever again.

No matter what, Zen has been with you for so many years. You could not watch her pass away just like that, could you?"

"I thought that she was dying to leave me?" Christian sneered. "Well, her dream comes true now. Isn’t it?"

"How can you be so heartless, Christian!" Wendy realized once again that this man was utterly hopeless.

"Mrs. Lucas, I think this is not the first time you know me, right?"

"You..." Wendy shut her eyes to suppress her emotion. She took a deep breath and said, "I am going to say one more time. If Zen doesn’t wake up today, she would most probably never wake up ever again. If you still have a conscience, then come over to the hospital."

Wendy hung up the phone instantly after finishing her words.

It was definitely Wendy’s last resort to make that call to Christian.

As to whether he would be coming to the hospital, Wendy could not force him at all.

Moreover, even if he came, he might not be of much help as well.

Wendy felt so agonized as she saw the haggard looks on Mr. and Mrs. Tanner back in the ward.

"How was it?" Mrs. Tanner asked immediately.

"I don’t know if he will be coming," Wendy said. She felt a little sorry for not being able to help much.

"It’s better for him not to come over. At least, it makes Zen look respectable this way," Mr. Tanner sighed.

Later, he looked at Zen, who was lying on the bed.

No doubt that Mr. Tanner really loved Zen very much.

If Zen could not hold on any longer, Wendy did not know what would happen to her parents after she passed on.

Who in this world would be able to bear the pain of losing their own child?

Moreover, both of them were already so old.

...

"I will go and beg him. Give me the phone, Wendy," Mrs. Tanner was still unwilling to give up. She pleaded, "Or can you tell me where he lived? I will go to his house to look for him right now."

"Dear, please stop!" Mr. Tanner embraced Mrs. Tanner tightly in his arms. He choked with sobs as he said, "Perhaps, this is our daughter’s fate. We could only hope that she would find someone she deserves in her next life."

Mrs. Tanner was so devastated. "She is my daughter, our flesh and blood... Do you want me to see her die before me? I can’t do it! I really can’t do it!"

Mrs. Tanner burst into tears as she punched her husband’s chest. She was so disappointed at that moment.

Wendy could not take it anymore, so she turned around to wipe off her tears secretly.

"Let’s accompany Zen on her final journey quietly," Mr. Tanner said as he closed his eyes while embracing Mrs. Tanner in his arms tightly.

Mrs. Tanner was about to say something. However, she choked with sobs and fainted all of a sudden.

Wendy pressed on the bell immediately upon seeing such a scene.

The whole ward was in chaos all of a sudden.

Fortunately, they were in a hospital. The doctor rushed into the ward immediately to give emergency treatment to Mrs. Tanner.

Soon, Mrs. Tanner regained her consciousness.

Initially, the doctor suggested that Mrs. Tanner could take a better rest in another ward.

In fact, both Zen’s parents did not sleep well at all during the past few days when they were busy taking care of her in the hospital.

However, Mrs. Tanner did not want to leave Zen at all.

Mr. Tanner was not able to persuade her, so he could only let her be.

The clock was ticking as the time flew.

Wendy looked at the time a few times while waiting.

It had already been an hour since she last called Christian.

Regardless of the home or the office, Christian should be here by now.

Wendy sighed as she gave it a thought. She bet that Christian would not be coming over to the hospital.

Just as they had already given up on their hopes, Christian appeared before their eyes.

He strode into the wards with a black suit.

Mr. and Mrs. Tanner gazed at Christian at the moment he stepped into the ward.

Although they had never seen Christian before, they could roughly guess who he was.

"Are you Christian Lucas?" Mr. Tanner asked word by word as he gritted his teeth.

Christian just replied with a hum without saying anything further.

"How dare you come over to see her!" Mr. Tanner stood up immediately and walked towards Christian. He raised his hand immediately and intended to beat him, "You are the one who caused our daughter to be in such a miserable state!"

After all, Mr. Tanner was already so old. Therefore, Christian allowed him to beat him up without dodging.

Christian snorted after Mr. Tanner stopped hitting him due to exhaustion, "Are you done?"

"You... I..." Mr. Tanner did not expect to see such an attitude from Christian.

He did not know what to say or how to react all of a sudden.

When Mrs. Tanner saw Christian’s gaze, she approached Mr. Tanner and stopped him immediately. She was so afraid that Christian would beat him up after being agitated.

"Christian Lucas!" Wendy yelled as she stepped forth to stop them. She was afraid that Christian would hurt them as well, "Since you are here, why don’t you try to wake Zen up?"

"Did I mention that I came to help you?" Christian sneered as he walked towards the chair. He then sat down with his legs crossed.

"Aren’t you?" Wendy was surprised by his answer. "Then why are you here?"

"I came to send her off on her final journey. No matter what, we are still friends," Christian said as he looked at Zen, who was lying on the bed.

"You guys are still friends?" Mr. Tanner could not take it any longer. He pushed Mrs.

Tanner away and threw the mug on the table towards Christian.

He was even looking for a knife everywhere in the ward.
