Chapter 475 He spoke softly, knowing she could hear him. She just couldn't respond.
Gently holding her hand, he picked up a nail clipper and began to trim her nails with meticulous care. Each movement carried his caution, tenderness, and unwavering love.

"This diamond isn't much, just something for now. When I win the 'Blaze' at the auction, I'll make you a unique ring. I've never properly proposed to you, and I want to do it with the 'Blaze'. Will you say yes?" Holding her delicate hand, he kissed it gently. "Elle, please don't turndown when the tcomes, okay?" He firmly believed she would wake up. No matter what it took, he was determined to bring her back.
After leaving the room, Casper headed downstairs. In the living room, Caleb was engrossed in an article on his phone about surgeries that could awaken someone in a vegetative state. "You're back?" Casper asked.
"Yeah," Caleb replied, setting his phone aside and standing up. "You said my sister-in-law had an accident. I finished my surgery and rushed back immediately." Casper motioned for him to sit and talk. "When it comes to brain surgery, I trust no one but you. This time, it's going to take extra effort." "Bro, that's a lot of pressure," Caleb admitted, despite his extensive experience with brain surgeries. "But I'll do my best, don't worry." "Don't stress about it, just... do what you can," Casper said, his voice tinged with sorrow. His hopeful anticipation was marred by uncertainty.
"Bro, I'll give it my all. From what I've seen in the scans, the bleeding in her brain isn't too severe. Surgery should improve her condition somewhat. It's the neurological damage that needs ongoing ew medication for a gradual recovery. Essentially, she's in a pseudo-vegetative state, which is easier to treat than a true vegetative state." Caleb's words were meant to comfort Casper. He had reviewed Eliza's medical records and brain scans. Her vegetative state was due to both brain bleeding and drug-induced neurological damage. Full recovery was a long and uncertain journey. With luck, she might wake up after the surgery. If not, it could take multiple surgeries to achieve a wakeful state. The worst-case scenawould be a prolonged vegetative state. It was unpredictable. "I believe in you," Casper said, patting Caleb's shoulder.
"Okay." After discussing Eliza's condition for a while, Caleb left. Casper sat alone in the living room, smoking through the night...

Tristan had been keeping his mistress After the attempted m Sassination and everything that followed and he'd been too preoccupied with Eliza's condition to deal with it, but he hadn't forgotten.
Tristan had been under house arrest here. His beloved son was locked in ΟΠ the basement, just meters away from him yet they couldn't see each other. By now, both father and son were likely losing their minds. As Casper approached, the guards
at the door unlocked the heavy door that had been sealed for a long time.
Tristan, Sitting at a table, looked up as Casper entered. His reaction was unusually calm, as he carefully savored the red wine in his glass.
