NovelOnlineChapter 201: Chapter 201: Amazing Recovery Ability
It took over an hour to helicopter from the island to Banyan City Hospital.
Although the police had arranged for doctors and nurses along the way, it was impossible to have the
instruments ready as they would be in a hospital. Only simple bandaging and treatment were done on the
helicopter, just barely keeping him alive.
The blade was plunged too deep, almost carving a bleeding channel in Edward Stephens’ body. The doctors
exerted tremendous effort to thoroughly stitch up his wound, but ultimately, he lost a great deal of blood.
By the the arrived at the hospital, Edward Stephens’ heartbeat was already very weak. He was directly taken
to the emergency room for defibrillation, which took a whole night to save his life.
However, although his life was temporarily preserved, his vital signs were too weak. He could only stay in the
ICU for constant observation. Whether he would regain consciousness remained a mystery.

It took Lady Stephens a full hour to rush to the hospital from the tshe received the news. She was in utter
shock. When Edward was wheeled out of the operating room and sent to the ICU, seeing her son unconscious
with an oxygen mask over his face, she finally woke as if from a dream, crying intermittently, calling out
"Edward" as she followed the nurse into the ward.
These days she lived in a daze, not knowing what day it was. Her tears had run dry, and her strength exhausted
from crying, yet she did not dare to return home, afraid of missing her son’s last moments.
She no longer had the strength to feel heartbreak.
Only a breath kept her going.
Ethan Pond looked at the man behind the transparent glass wall plugged into various sophisticated instruments.
On the ECG monitor, his heartbeat was very slow.
Once he gets better, I'll bring Daisy Ginger over to see him, he pondered, hearing Lady Stephens ask him, "How
is Zoe Hilker now?"
Ethan redirected his gaze toward Lady Stephens.
He noticed a hint of concern in Lady Stephens’ eyes, which touched him slightly.
This hint of concern was genuine, not a trace of resentment towards Daisy for Edward's near-death saving her,
even though she hadn't had the chance to visit Daisy as she guarded Edward’s door.
"She has woken up today," Ethan said softly, "Her leg bone is fractured, and she cannot move freely. Once she is
better, I'll bring her over to visit Edward."
"Alas," Lady Stephens whispered, "Zoe is a child of bitter fate..."
Ethan gently patted Lady Stephens’ frail shoulder, glanced at Edward for a while, then said, "Auntie, take care of
your health. Edward will be fine."

Ethan wasn’t wrong.
Edward Stephens recovered consciousness after a week in the ICU.
Soon after, he was transferred to a regular ward.
His recovery ability was astonishing. Within days of treatment, he could get out of bed and move freely.
Altogether, it was just half a month.
When he was no longer in danger, Lady Stephens, who had cared for him for half a month, immediately fell ill
with a high fever, and was sent back to the Stephens family for recuperation.
Ethan told Daisy Ginger about Edward's situation. Daisy knew but had no particularly strong reaction, nor did she
bring up wanting to visit Edward.
The company lost sbusiness, and she still couldn't be discharged. She managed the business from her
hospital room, staying occupied with work. Ethan and Zoe Hilker dared not mention other matters in front of her,
but whenever they exchanged glances, they could sense the traces of worry in each other's eyes.
