Gary, on the other hand, had suffered multiple minor burns and looked a complete mess.

"Doctor, why hasn't Gary woken up yet? Could there be something we missed in his examination?" Cameron asked, his face drawn with worry.

Cameron had once been a doctor himself. Although he'd left the practice after his leg injury, his medical instincts were still sharp. From what he could tell, Gary's injuries were only superficial; the smoke he inhaled hadn't caused any major damage to his lungs. It didn't add up that he'd be unconscious for so long.

"This is indeed unusual. We've thoroughly checked Mr. Shield and everything appears normal," the doctor replied. "If he still doesn't wake up, it might be because he's subconsciously choosing not to. Sometimes, a person who's been through severe stress or trauma might use a state like this to escape from reality. Has he experienced any major emotional shocks recently?"

The doctor continued, "We may need to transfer him to neurology for further evaluation."

Cameron and Derrick's faces both paled. They realized they'd been so consumed with their work that they'd neglected Gary's emotional state. He was the youngest, once full of life and energy. But recently, he'd seemed different-withdrawn, though they hadn't given it much thought.

Seated by Gary's bed, Cameron looked defeated, his eyes filled with regret. "Derrick, get Melody here. If anyone can reach him, it's her. He's always held a special place in his heart for Melody-if she sees him, he might wake up." Cameron spoke quickly, his heart racing as he said this.

He had been relentlessly pressuring his sister Melody over a live Sylrien Orchid, and now, to turn around and ask her for help felt impossible. He couldn't bring himself to do it and was certain Melody wouldn't even listen to him, so he thought Derrick would be a better choice.

Hearing this, Derrick felt even more uneasy. He was willing to ask Melody, but he knew he no longer had the right to ask her for favors. Going to her now would just be a burden on her.

As the two of them hesitated and passed the responsibility back and forth, Suzanna-who came to the hospital every day to visit Cameron and Gary-appeared at the door. Seeing their reluctance, Suzanna seemed eager to ease their troubles, saying with a bright expression, "Cam, Derrick, I'm willing to go ask Mel for Gary."

"However..."

Her tone faltered as she glanced away, an unspoken hesitation flickering in her eyes.

Derrick's face hardened, a surge of frustration rising within him. "Suzanna, what are you planning now?" he snapped. "Gary's lying here unconscious, and if you provoke Melody again, he could end up like this forever!"

Derrick's words were harsh, but the doctor's warning weighed on him. If Gary chose not to wake up, it wouldn't be much different from being in a vegetative state. The idea of their lively, spirited youngest brother confined to this sterile, narrow hospital bed forever was unbearable.

Both Cameron and Christina's expressions turned cold. Christina didn't hesitate to rebuke Derrick. "Derrick, Suzie's only trying to help. How can you think the worst of her like that?"

"I'll go to the Moore residence myself," she continued. "I'm Melody's mother. She wouldn't dare ignore me, no matter how angry she is."

Cameron lowered his gaze, his voice soft but tinged with an unmistakable chill. "Derrick, Suzie is gentle and kind," he said, his tone sharpening. "She's not going to argue with you about this, but you, as her brother, crossed a line. Apologize to her immediately."
