Chapter 116 Treatment
After Su Yi made his decision, he went to Natasha and obtained the Horse Talisman.
He tried the Horse Talisman, and as expected, it did not purify the energy within Jessica.
This way, after Jessica was healed, she could still retain her abilities.
Under Su Yi's guidance, the Horse Talisman unleashed its power.
A gentle energy enveloped Jessica, soothing her pain.
Jessica had been exposed to chemical agents, which had corroded her and generated chaotic energy.
This energy was eroding and altering Jessica's body.
It had caused Jessica to suffer continuously.
Even without consciousness, Jessica could feel the pain.
However, under the effect of the Horse Talisman, the pain gradually faded, and Jessica slowly regained her senses.
She only felt very comfortable, as if she were basking in a sunbath.
Jessica hadn't felt this sensation in a long time.
Amidst this warm feeling, Jessica regained consciousness from her daze.
Figures, moments, and fragments of memories flooded her mind.
Jessica watched it all like an audience member, quietly, as if watching a movie.
Her growth from childhood, family, school... until the moment the accident happened.
Jessica recalled that at the time, she was arguing with her younger brother.
This distraction caused her father to have a car accident.
Watching the accident unfold, Jessica desperately wanted to stop it.
But she found herself unable to speak, unable to move, only able to watch everything helplessly, powerless.
Jessica's emotions gradually intensified, and she showed more reactions.
Su Yi, who was treating Jessica, also noticed her significantly fluctuating mental state.
"Is she about to wake up?"
Su Yi wasn't very sure; he could only sense that Jessica's emotions seemed unstable.
However, this was definitely a good thing.
For a comatose patient, having emotional reactions meant there was a chance of waking up.
Jessica had not yet been fully healed, so Su Yi chose to continue, not worrying at all that Jessica might discover his identity.
After a while, Su Yi noticed that Jessica had calmed down somewhat, but she still hadn't woken up.
Jessica inevitably felt a bit down and dispirited.
But then she thought, if she might still be alive, would her parents and brother also be alive?
Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, Jessica decided to live on... Jessica regained consciousness, with nothing but memories.
It was as if she was on an island, with sunshine, but no wind, no waves, not a single sound.
Not only that, but she still couldn't speak or move.
This feeling of loneliness filled Jessica's heart.
She didn't know how much time had passed; it felt like a very long time.
Jessica was surprised to find that she seemed to be hallucinating sounds.
A faint sound seemed to appear by her ear, which made Jessica inexplicably happy.
Sound meant hope.
The sound, of course, was Su Yi talking to himself; although not loud, it reached Jessica's ears.
"The effect of the Horse Talisman is quite good."
"The energy in her body is basically stable."
"It's just that she still looks very thin; she'll just need to slowly recover after she wakes up."
Su Yi stood by, continuing to sigh.
"You're lucky; I happened to come across you."
"I've now healed your injuries; whether you can wake up depends on your own will."
"Although life is full of hardships, there will always be hope."
"Good luck, Jessica."
Su Yi planned to observe for a few more days; if Jessicastill didn't wake up by then, he would have to call for outside help.
Using teleportation, he returned the Horse Talisman to Natasha, and Su Yi went back to the ward.
As soon as Su Yi returned, he heard Kristin's footsteps outside the door.
Su Yi pretended nothing had happened and prepared to leave, just as Kristin pushed the door open.
Kristin was a bit surprised when she found Su Yi there.
"Su, you can't just barge in; this is a patient's room."
Su Yi had already thought of an excuse, "I was just going to the restroom, and as I passed by, I thought I heard something unusual."
"So, I came in to look, but I didn't find anything."
Kristin still chose to believe Su Yi; at least, Su Yi was standing at a distance and hadn't approached, nor did he look flustered, not like he was doing anything bad.
"Don't worry, I didn't touch any machines."
"This concerns a life; I wouldn't mess around."
Kristin began her work, first checking the data on the various instruments.
From the data, Jessica's condition had improved significantly.
Because of this, Kristin was a bit puzzled and took out the medical record book.
Comparing the data, Kristin felt even stranger.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Kristin was at a loss, "From the data, her physical condition is already very good, close to that of a normal person."
"But, the previous data in the medical record book..."
Kristin observed repeatedly and confirmed that the instruments were not malfunctioning.
However, the changes in the body data made Kristin difficult to fathom.
Not only the data, Kristin also observed at close range and checked Jessica's physical condition.
"Her physical condition seems to have improved a lot; this isn't normal."
Logically speaking, such a situation should not be possible.
Kristin couldn't explain it for now, nor did she suspect Su Yi.
"Su, after you came in, did you find anything?"
Su Yi pretended to think, then gave an answer, "I noticed that she seemed to have had an emotional reaction."
Kristin observed again, "This is a good thing; an emotional reaction indicates that her consciousness is gradually waking up, and there's a high probability she'll regain consciousness."
Su Yi took the opportunity to ask, "Is she also your patient?"
Kristin shook her head, "No, actually, she's Doctor Kathy's patient."
"It's just that, as you've seen, she's been in a coma for several months now."
"Doctor Kathy has something tonight, so I'm just helping her with a round of checks."
Su Yi sighed, "Several months, no wonder she looks so thin."
Kristin finally confirmed again that the instruments were normal and there was still IV fluid.
Only then did she record the data and other information in the medical record book.
"Checks are done; let's go."
The two left the ward and closed the door.
Kristin said with a slight apology, "Sorry, I still have 4 of Doctor Kathy's patients, so you might need to wait a bit longer."
"No problem, I have plenty of time anyway; they need you the most right now."
Su Yi's understanding made Kristin very happy.
"Thank you for your understanding."
"You're welcome."
Kristin went to check on the patients, while Su Yi took the opportunity to go to the restroom... Su Yi didn't know that Jessica had regained consciousness and had heard some of their conversation.
From first hearing noise, to later, slowly understanding the content clearly.
Jessica had some guesses based on the sounds she heard.
"It's that mysterious man named Su; he must be the one who healed me."
Chapter 117 Jessica's meeting
In the hospital, after Su Yi and Christine left, Jessicacouldn't hear much anymore.
After an unknown period, she lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.
It wasn't until morning, when the Doctor came to check on her, that Jessica was startled awake.
Jessica, having just woken up, was also bewildered, not expecting to actually be awake, the kind of clarity where she could control her body.
It was like a very long dream, and now, the dream was over, and it was time to wake up.
Jessica was emotionally agitated, and her first thought was of her family.
She opened her mouth to speak, but felt a little unaccustomed.
Doctor Casey was also surprised to see Jessica wake up.
After all, Jessica had been in a coma for several months, and according to theory and experience, the possibility of her waking up again was slim.
Doctors couldn't predict such things.
Seeing Jessica incredibly agitated, Doctor Casey quickly intervened.
"Jessica, God bless you."
"You actually woke up, it's a true miracle."
"You seem a bit agitated, please calm down first, and I'll examine you."
Jessica calmed down and then began to regain her ability to speak.
This was also because Su Yi had used the Horse Talismanfor treatment, shortening this process for Jessica.
Otherwise, the rehabilitation process would have also taken some time.
Jessica communicated with the Doctor with difficulty.
"My, parents, brother."
Doctor Casey understood what Jessica meant, but as Jessica had just woken up, Doctor Casey didn't dare to let her be too stimulated.
"You need to rest now; you'll know about these things after you recover."
Hearing Doctor Casey's answer, Jessica already guessed the unfortunate outcome.
She had survived, and was the only survivor in her family.
It was fortunate, and also unfortunate.
Because of her and her brother's argument, her father was distracted, leading to the car accident.
Jessica fell into deep self-blame, unable to accept the reality.
Doctor Casey could see the change in Jessica.
He could only try to persuade Jessica, "Jessica, your being able to wake up must be your parents' blessing."
"You should pull yourself together, get well, and live a good life."
Jessica no longer had her initial excitement; she was just disheartened.
She didn't understand why God let her live?
She also didn't understand why that person saved her?
Perhaps, a long sleep like this would also be a release.
After the examination, Doctor Casey was incredibly excited.
From the instrument data and initial examination, Jessica's body was relatively healthy.
In fact, she didn't seem like a "vegetable" who had been in a coma for several months at all.
"Your condition is very good. Next, we still need further examinations."
Doctor Casey prepared to arrange several examinations to further understand Jessica's physical condition.
While Jessica was undergoing tests, Doctor Casey met Christine.
He curiously inquired about Jessica's situation, "Christine, I just saw Jessica's medical record. How did her condition suddenly improve last night?"
Christine was also a bit surprised and started talking with Casey.
"I'm not sure either; I just noticed her condition was much better. Did something happen to Jessica?"
"She woke up this morning."
Christine was incredibly surprised, "Woke up? That's good news!"
Doctor Casey was also very happy, "You're right, it must be a miracle. However, Jessica's mental state isn't very good, as she's the only one left in her family."
"Let's treat her body first. If she really has psychological issues, we can help find a psychologist."
"Indeed."
Jessica finally woke up, and after a series of tests, DoctorCasey found that Jessica's physical condition was surprisingly good.
In fact, given her condition, she could be discharged after about a week of observation in the hospital.
Her physical condition was excellent, but her psychological issues were somewhat severe.
Jessica, after learning that her family had all died in the car accident, was somewhat downcast.
After a day of adaptation, Jessica was already able to communicate normally.
Not only that, Jessica found her body filled with strength and was already able to move freely.
Jessica even tried to lift her hospital bed.
With just one hand, Jessica lifted the bed.
With a little more force, she could have flipped the bed over directly, like flipping a table.
Jessica was only a little surprised by such a change, and showed no joy.
"My body has changed."
"Was it caused by that accident, or did the person who treated me give me this strength?"
Jessica wanted to know the answer, so she found her first target, Christine.
In the corridor, Jessica was on an IV drip, waiting for Christine.
Finally, Christine arrived, and Jessica stopped her.
"Doctor Christine."
"Jessica, why are you in the corridor by yourself? You just woke up today; you should rest more."
Jessica didn't take it to heart, "I heard that you checked my condition last night. I want to know if anything strange happened?"
Christine thought of Su Yi. Su Yi was indeed a bit strange, but it seemed he hadn't done anything.
"Probably not?"
Jessica persisted, "I heard Doctor Christine's voice last night, and besides that, there was a man's voice."
"You called him Su."
"Can I see him?"
Christine did not refuse, "You can."
"However, he probably has nothing to do with you waking up."
Jessica shook her head, "It's just that before I woke up, I had a very strange feeling."
"Later, when I regained consciousness, I heard your conversation with him."
"I'm not sure if it's related to him; I just want to understand."
Christine agreed, "I'll contact him right away."
Christine immediately contacted Su Yi and told him about Jessica.
Su Yi truly hadn't expected Jessica to wake up so quickly.
He had originally thought that if things really didn't work out, he would go ask Sorcerer Ancient One for help.
Although it would be overkill, it would definitely not go wrong.
"Jessica wants to see me? Alright, I'll be there right away."
Su Yi was free anyway, so if that was the case, he would go to the hospital again.
He would talk with Jessica, and incidentally, go on a date with Christine.
Su Yi drove to the hospital and found Christine.
Christine was still busy, as it wasn't time for her to get off work yet.
"I'm here."
Seeing Su Yi arrive, Jessica took a moment to chat with him.
"Jessica is waiting for you in the ward."
Su Yi curiously asked, "Why does she want to see me?"
"When she regained consciousness, we happened to be there, so perhaps she's just curious."
"The key is, I hope you can help counsel her."
Su Yi was a bit puzzled, "Counsel?"
Christine patiently explained, "She lost her family in a car accident; she's the only survivor."
"She just woke up and suffered such a huge blow, so she's very depressed."
"You've also had such experiences, so I want you to take this opportunity to persuade her."
Su Yi then realized that Christine had agreed with such an idea in mind.
"I'll do my best."
Chapter 118 Psychological Counseling
When Su Yi arrived at the ward, he gently pushed open the door.
He saw Jessica, who was standing by the window, gazing outside.
It was dusk, and some lingering rays of sunlight fell upon Jessica.
Beside her was only the IV drip stand.
Jessica seemed to be lost in thought and didn't notice Su Yi's arrival at all.
Knock, knock, knock!
Su Yi had no choice but to gently knock on the door, making a sound to alert Jessica.
Hearing the sound, Jessica snapped out of her daze.
She turned her head and saw Su Yi appearing at the doorway.
With a quick glance, Jessica made an initial judgment: a young, handsome Oriental man.
However, Jessica was utterly disheartened at this moment and had no interest in learning more.
"Hello, Jessica. I am Christine, the Doctor's friend, Su Yi. You can call me Mr. Su, or Su."
Jessica was also rather indifferent, greeting him out of politeness.
"Hello, Mr. Su."
"I heard you wanted to see me. Is there something you need?"
Jessica didn't intend to hide anything and directly stated her guess.
"Last night, you should have been here too. You cured me, didn't you?"
Jessica's directness didn't surprise Su Yi at all.
"You were already slowly recovering and regaining consciousness; full recovery was only a matter of time. I just helped you recover about a month earlier."
Jessica didn't thank Su Yi for what he did; instead, she continued to question him, "Why did you save me?"
"Also, my strength has become greater than that of ordinary people. Did you do that too?"
"Do you know? My family all died in that accident."
"Why did you make me wake up and face all of this?"
"I didn't give you permission to treat me."
"I could have been with my family."
Jessica's emotions gradually became agitated, eventually leading to a breakdown.
She wasn't trying to blame Su Yi; she just wanted to vent her emotions.
After a few sentences, Jessica was already crying.
It was understandable, after all, she was a girl not even 20 years old.
Having experienced such a major upheaval, it was difficult for her to accept it all at once.
Moreover, she also bore some responsibility for this accident, which made it very hard for Jessica to bear.
Just like Peter Parker, who had been wracked with guilt over Uncle Ben's death.
Jessica's situation was probably similar.
Su Yi wasn't angry; he just walked up to Jessica, pulled out a tissue, and handed it to her.
"If resenting me can alleviate your guilt and pain, I don't mind."
Jessica was stunned for a moment, not expecting Su Yi to answer like that.
Facing Su Yi's kindness, Jessica chose to refuse and did not take the tissue he offered.
Su Yi was not in a hurry; psychological problems are not that easy to solve.
If he was lucky, he might completely let go because of a single sentence.
If the situation was bad, he might be entangled by this problem for a lifetime, and neither injections nor medicine could cure it.
"Jessica, let's sit down and chat for a while. I'll tell you a story."
Jessica did not refuse, and of course, she did not agree either.
Su Yi ignored this, looked at the situation in the room, found a chair, and sat down.
Su Yi did not intend to move Jessica with his own story but thought of a movie, "Léon: The Professional."
Su Yi chose this story not to tell a love story between an "uncle and a cute girl" but to talk about life.
He wanted Jessica to understand the true meaning of life from the story and achieve self-redemption.
Su Yi's storytelling ability was decent; at least he managed to captivate Jessica.
Jessica hadn't been listening very carefully at first, but with only two people in the ward,
Su Yi was telling a story, so it was hard for her not to hear it.
Unless she interrupted Su Yi.
Jessica sat on the edge of the hospital bed, listening to the story, gradually becoming engrossed.
What attracted her was not the love between the two, but the female lead's life.
Especially that classic dialogue, which made Jessicaunderstand Su Yi's purpose in telling this story.
"Is life always this painful?"
"Always!"
At the end of the story, the male lead, Léon, saved the female lead, Mathilda, and the female lead, taking Léon's money, went to an orphanage and found a new life.
In the story, the male and female leads achieved redemption.
The female lead also managed to step out of her pain and continue to face life.
Jessica remained silent. Su Yi could tell that Jessica must have been somewhat moved.
Striking while the iron was hot, Su Yi decided to use "himself" as an example.
"Actually, I'm pretty similar to you; I've had a similar experience."
"I originally lived in the East, and there was also a car accident, and my parents passed away."
"Out of helplessness, I came here and lived with my not-so-familiar Grandpa."
"Not long after, my Grandpa also passed away."
"Even though I'm alone, life still has to go on, doesn't it?"
"I will miss my family, but I will also strive to live a better life."
"For myself, and for my family."
"I think my parents must hope that I can be happy and live a good life."
"If your family knew you were so miserable, they would also be sad."
"So, the best way to remember them is to live well."
This sentence broke through Jessica's defenses precisely.
She recalled her past life, with her parents by her side.
If she was ever in a bad mood, her mother would always comfort her.
Now, her mother was gone.
But if her mother knew, she would surely worry about her and want to comfort her.
Jessica became sad again, but this time, it was different.
Jessica had already begun to move past the stage of pure sadness, ready to embrace a new life.
When she looked at Su Yi, she was somewhat surprised to find him so positive and optimistic.
Because from his appearance alone, it was impossible to tell that Su Yi had experienced such pain.
In comparison, Jessica realized that she had been too immersed in her pain.
Su Yi saw Jessica silently listen to the story, only to start crying again.
He thought his story had messed things up.
So he continued to persuade her, saying, "You've lost your family, but you still have friends."
"You are still young, and you still have a future."
"Although the present is painful, and you may encounter much pain in the future, you will always encounter happiness."
"Just like Mathilda met Léon, that was happiness in a painful life."
"You will also find happiness."
Su Yi tried to offer a tissue again, and this time, Jessica did not refuse.
Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed his story had some effect after all.
"Could it be that I have the potential to be a psychologist?"
Jessica barely managed to stop crying, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"You should rest well and recuperate. After you recover, go commemorate your family, and go see your friends. That will be very helpful to you."
Jessica nodded silently, "Good advice."
Psychological counseling successful, mission accomplished!
Jessica suddenly remembered her powers and asked, "Are my powers something you did?"
"No, your powers originated from that accident. While I also have abilities, they do not include bestowing powers upon others."
Su Yi briefly demonstrated his energy, "For now, you should hide your powers, receive treatment, and learn about the outside world's information."
Chapter 119 Helping Jessica settle down
Su Yi and Jessica chatted for a while longer, helping Jessicaresolve her emotional knots.
It was only then that Su Yi learned that Jessica was also a student at Midtown High School before her accident.
Counting it, they were barely classmates.
Because Jessica used to be classmates with Peter Parker and others.
Su Yi did not confess that he was classmates with Peter, but in a few days, he could ask Peter to bring people to the hospital to visit Jessica.
Time flew by, and it was almost time to get off work.
Christine appeared outside the ward and saw the two of them talking.
It looked like Jessica seemed to be doing better; at least she was willing to talk to people, which was a good thing.
Christine was very satisfied with her decision.
Sure enough, having Su Yi persuade Jessica was a very good decision.
"It looks like you two are having a good chat, I seem to be interrupting you."
Because of Christine's appearance, their conversation ended.
Jessica knew that Su Yi and Christine had a close relationship.
Now that Christine had appeared, she probably intended to leave with Su Yi.
Jessica did not stop them; after chatting with Christine for a few words, she bid farewell to the two of them.
Su Yi and Christine continued their date, eating dinner and talking about Jessica.
"Christine, regarding Jessica, there's one more thing I want to tell you."
"What is it?"
Su Yi said seriously, "Jessica's family has all passed away, so even after she's discharged from the hospital, she'll likely be homeless."
"She might go to an orphanage or be adopted."
"I think you could take care of Jessica, treat her like a younger sister."
Christine was a little surprised by Su Yi's suggestion.
However, this was not an easy matter.
"I need to think about it."
Christine, out of a sense of responsibility, thought about it carefully.
Considering herself, and also Jessica.
After careful consideration, Christine gave her decision.
"If someone can adopt her, that would be the best situation."
"You also know that I get very busy with work."
"If I get busy, I'm not even sure if I can take good care of myself."
"I also want to help her, but asking me to take care of her is not a good idea."
Seeing Christine feeling a little guilty, Su Yi quickly comforted her.
"I was too rash. If it's not suitable for you, I can think about whether there are other suitable candidates."
"Actually, you can rest assured, the conditions at the orphanage are not bad."
Su Yi actually did have a candidate, and that was Vanessa.
Vanessa's heart was quite lonely, and Su Yi couldn't always be with her.
Although Vanessa had no complaints, actions don't lie.
If she had someone to accompany her, Vanessa's situation might improve a lot.
Moreover, Jessica was now alone as well.
Whether these two lonely people would get better or worse by being together, Su Yi wasn't entirely sure.
"I know. I have a friend. I'll discuss it with her and see if she's willing."
Su Yi didn't have any particular ulterior motive for doing this.
After all, Jessica didn't look pretty at all right now.
Perhaps she would be very pretty after recovery, but that would be a matter for later.
For now, Su Yi was simply acting out of pity for a beautiful woman, and also to gain some Destiny Points.
Incidentally, he could also boost his favorability with Christine.
Otherwise, Su Yi wouldn't spend so much time.
After the date ended, Su Yi sent Christine home.
He had originally planned to rest for a day, but Su Yi had a sudden idea and decided to have Vanessa take care of Jessica.
So, he had to go find Vanessa.
Su Yi contacted Vanessa in advance, and Vanessa seemed a little happy about Su Yi's visit.
When Su Yi appeared at the door, Vanessa opened it.
What met his eyes was her wearing a black silk nightgown.
It had some lace trim and looked a bit loose.
She had a lazy feeling about her, with an intellectual and sensual beauty that made Su Yi's eyes light up.
When she saw Su Yi, Vanessa said with a slight hint of complaint, "When you contacted me, I thought you would appear before me very quickly."
Su Yi entered the room, closed the door, and explained, "If I did that, tomorrow's news would feature another bizarre car accident."
Vanessa smiled and greeted him warmly.
Su Yi was content with a light touch, but Vanessa wanted more.
"Vanessa, I have something serious I want to talk to you about."
"Other matters can be discussed later; we'll have plenty of time then."
What else could Su Yi say? So he talked about the other serious matter first... After Su Yi finished talking about the serious matter with Vanessa, he brought up Jessica.
"Jessica is homeless, and I want you to take care of her."
Vanessa looked at Su Yi curiously, "Is she also one of your Hong Yan confidantes?"
Su Yi naturally denied it, "No, not at least for now, and I don't have any intentions."
"I just feel a bit sorry for her and want to help."
"You're usually alone too. If you could have one more person by your side, it might be a good thing."
Vanessa said softly, "You know, the person I want by my side always is you."
Su Yi immediately used a cheesy pick-up line, "I'm always by your side."
"If you want that, you can move in and live with me."
When this matter was brought up, Vanessa was a bit resistant.
She was lonely inside, but in reality, Vanessa wasn't too keen on being in overly lively environments.
There were too many people, and Vanessa wasn't used to it.
"I can try what you're suggesting. However, you also know that I'm not good at taking care of people."
"Perhaps she will take care of you."
Since Su Yi said so, Vanessa had no objections.
"Alright then, let's go meet this Jessica tomorrow."
Applying to take care of Jessica, this process was indeed a bit complicated.
In any case, Jessica's consent would definitely be required.
Tomorrow, Vanessa and Jessica would meet and get to know each other.
"Thank you, Vanessa."
Vanessa propped herself up, "I've just finished a new painting, would you like to see it?"
Seeing Vanessa's keen interest, Su Yi didn't want to spoil her mood.
"Of course, I'm interested in any of your paintings."
Vanessa left the bedroom, went to the studio, and brought back a painting.
Su Yi wasn't sure what kind of painting Vanessa would create, and he felt a bit of anticipation.
Not long after, Vanessa brought back a painting.
The painting was already framed, and with the frame, both its length and height exceeded 1 meter.
Su Yi quickly helped, taking the painting.
When the painting was displayed before Su Yi, he froze, his expression extremely peculiar.
Vanessa looked at Su Yi's expression, appearing very happy.
"How is this painting?"
Su Yi looked at himself in the painting and smiled.
This painting depicted him too perfectly.
"Absolutely perfect, exactly like me."
"It just lacks a beautiful woman, like you, Vanessa."
Vanessa was extremely pleased by Su Yi's flattery, "I think this is enough. Look here."
Su Yi looked at himself in the painting, where Vanessa had subtly designed her signature over his heart.
"A perfect painting, an exquisite design."
Chapter 120 I'll Give You a Surprise
Su Yi and Vanessa arrived at the hospital the next day to visit Jessica.
They also brought Jessica some gifts.
A mobile phone, a laptop, and some other items.
Jessica was now all alone, and she must have been very bored in the hospital.
The phone and computer Su Yi prepared could help her pass the time and also allow her to understand the changes in the outside World.
When the two arrived at the hospital, Jessica was talking with someone.
Su Yi and Vanessa could both tell that these people were not from the hospital.
It seemed they were personnel there to deal with Jessica's homelessness.
Before the accident, Jessica had not yet graduated.
Now that she had woken up, she had lost her family and her home, becoming completely homeless.
Therefore, the relevant personnel would certainly have to make arrangements for Jessica.
It would be nothing more than going to a welfare institution until Jessica became independent or was adopted by someone.
But Jessica was already quite old at this point, so it was estimated that not many people would adopt a child her age.
In the comics, Jessica was indeed adopted by the Jones couple and renamed Jessica Jones.
Jessica preferred to be alone, but she had no choice but to accept.
She currently had no financial means.
The appearance of Su Yi and Vanessa interrupted the conversation between the two parties.
Jessica was somewhat happy to see Su Yi arrive.
After waking up, the only people Jessica could see were the Doctor and other patients.
Su Yi was half a friend, and yesterday's events had greatly improved Jessica's mood.
Although she hadn't completely emerged from the shadow of losing her family, she had become a bit more positive.
Seeing Su Yi and Vanessa, the sharp Jessica sensed that something was amiss.
Vanessa was also very beautiful; in terms of looks, she was no less attractive than Doctor Christine.
Moreover, Vanessa and Su Yi seemed very close.
Jessica had no evidence, so she dismissed her wild suspicions.
"Excuse me, my friends have arrived."
"Regarding going to the welfare institution, let's wait until I've fully recovered."
"I will consider it carefully during this time."
The staff were also helpless; they couldn't do anything since the person involved was very resistant.
Su Yi understood their purpose. It just so happened that he had brought Vanessa to resolve this matter.
Seeing the two staff members preparing to leave, Su Yispoke up to stop them.
"Wait!"
Everyone's gaze turned to Su Yi, who continued, "Jessica is my friend, and I know she is homeless now."
"So, I've brought someone who can help Jessica."
Vanessa stepped forward and stated her intention.
"I heard about Jessica's story, so I plan to help her."
"I intend to take her in and sponsor her to continue her schooling."
It was naturally a good thing that someone could take care of Jessica.
"But you seem very young and do not meet the adoption requirements."
Vanessa explained, "I'm not adopting her; I'm just temporarily taking care of her."
"I am a painter, and I plan to take her as my apprentice and teach her how to paint."
"This is my business card."
"I think she is already an adult and can make her own decisions."
If that were the case, it would not be a normal adoption.
The conditions would certainly be more lenient and simpler.
"If that's the case, it is indeed acceptable."
"However, her situation is special."
"First, it requires her personal consent."
Jessica did not hesitate and chose to trust Su Yi.
This way, she wouldn't need to change her name and wouldn't suddenly have a new family.
"I agree."
The staff couldn't say anything else and were quite happy.
The task was completed smoothly, and they wouldn't have to make multiple trips.
"We need to record some of your personal information."
Vanessa didn't mind, "No problem."
Vanessa and the staff agreed on a time; she would bring her personal information and register then.
"Thank you very much for your support."
"You're welcome."
Vanessa easily dismissed the staff, leaving only three people in the ward.
Su Yi spoke first, "I'm very sorry I didn't discuss this with you beforehand."
"It's okay. Anyway, even without you, I would have had to go to an unfamiliar place."
"Considering you'll be in the hospital for a few more days and might be very bored, these are gifts Vanessa bought for you."
Jessica took the bag, opened it, and realized it contained a phone and a laptop, both appearing to be high-end products.
"These are too expensive; I can't accept them."
Vanessa said, "These are nothing to me."
"You've been in a coma for so long; you should get more in touch with the outside World."
Jessica was not one to be coy, "Thank you."
Vanessa looked at Jessica, feeling very moved.
Agreeing to Su Yi to take care of Jessica last night wasn't just because of Su Yi, but also because of Jessica.
Jessica was homeless, alone, and without any psychological support.
This reminded Vanessa of herself.
Vanessa was also a lonely person at heart.
The two were kindred spirits.
Vanessa was also unsure what the outcome would be if she took Jessica home.
Would they live separately, not disturbing each other?
Or would it bring some changes to her own life... Looking at Jessica, Vanessa proactively asked with concern, "How is your physical condition?"
"Not bad. Doctor Casey told me I could be discharged after a few more days of observation."
"I'll come pick you up then."
"Okay."
Vanessa found it a bit difficult to find topics to talk about when facing Jessica.
She could only reiterate her promises to Jessica.
"When you are discharged, we will live together for a short period."
"I will sponsor your studies and help you complete your education. If you want to go to university, I can continue to sponsor you."
"I promise not to interfere with your life or your future."
"Once you complete your studies, you can choose to leave and live independently, or you can continue to stay."
These conditions naturally suited Jessica's wishes perfectly.
"I have no objections."
Vanessa hadn't yet opened up to Jessica, and the two didn't have much to talk about.
So, Su Yi naturally took on this responsibility.
He talked with Jessica for a while and had her record their contact information.
That would make communication easier then.
Jessica had only been in a coma for a few months, so she still knew how to use these devices, and Su Yi didn't need to spend too much time on it.
As Su Yi was about to leave, Jessica originally wanted to stop him and ask about his relationship with the two women.
However, after some hesitation, Jessica still chose not to speak.
"In a few days, when you can be discharged, notify Vanessa and me, and we'll come to pick you up."
"I'll have a surprise for you then."
Jessica didn't know what surprise Su Yi was referring to, but she felt a bit more anticipation.
"I'm very much looking forward to it."
Jessica was already somewhat impatient to be discharged.
Not for a new life, but to go to the cemetery, visit her parents, and pour out her heart to them.
