My Wife is a Hacker by Summer

Chapter 2374
"Hurry up.Why are you so slow?"
"Oh."
Raine's annoyed response emanated from upstairs, causing James to snap out of his thoughts and follow her up.
Just like that, the night passed, and a new day arrived.
The hospital that had been silent all night, but by dawn, it had become chaotic all over again.
At that moment, the emergency room lights, which were lit the entire time, finally dimmed.
After Preston had been patiently waiting for the doctor to emerge from the ward, he immediately approached the latter.
"How was it?"
The doctor shook his head and sighed, "It's best for the family to be prepared for the worst.The patient's brain has suffered
immense trauma.Even though the surgery was a success, we're still unsure if she'll regain consciousness."
"So, she's...in a vegetative state?"
Preston stammered, finding it hard to utter those words.
"We've tried our best," the doctor remorsefully said, and walked away.
Preston's mind went blank at once, and he was left ina state of utter confusion.He did not know how to process this piece of
news at that moment.
After a while, the nurse wheeled Snow out of the room.
"Please proceed to the counter for the hospitalization procedures."
Preston looked at the nurse as if time had slowed, taking him a few seconds to respond, "Okay."
Once everything was done, a wave of dizziness struck him.
After struggling to maintain his balance, he managed to stand still.

"Why don't you take some rest?" a lady's voice asked.
Preston looked over and saw Lulu, and that was when he inquired, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here for Nicole.But I heard what happened last night, so I thought of checking up on Snow."
Lulu replied frankly, though her tone was a little harsh at the mention of Snow.
"It's likely that she won't wake up from this," Preston replied with a heavy heart.
He did not know how he was supposed to take the news at all.
After all, Snow was his sister, and this meant that her predicament would still leave him feeling very distraught for her.
On the other hand, Snow was still the one at fault, and was the one who had dug her grave which had ultimately led to this
outcome.
"You don't really seem well.Are you feeling fine? Should I get the doctor?" Lulu asked upon noticing how disheveled Preston
was.
"It's fine." Preston shook his head.
"Let's check on Nicole."
Mid-sentence, Preston began to make a beeline for Nicole's room.
Seeing this, Lulu became silent and followed after Preston.
When they arrived at Nicole's room, Nicole frowned upon noticing the way Preston looked.
"You stayed up the entire night?"
"The operation had just ended."
Preston looked at Nicole and spoke in a low voice.
"The doctor said that she has sustained critical brain trauma.There's a high possibility that she will remain in a vegetative state
all her life."

The room fell silent, and the air became eerily cold once those words had been uttered.
"I see," Nicole replied after a few seconds.
It had become a sorry state of affairs, and nothing anyone ever said would change the situation.
Still, one could say that Snow deserved that punishment for what she had done.
"Nicole, you should get some more rest and recover soon.I'll leave now."
Preston murmured after a moment of hesitation.He felt a little shameful facing Nicole after everything that had transpired.
Though he felt sad that Snow had done such a thing, he felt even more for Nicole.
If it was not for Snow who had gotten herself involved with men of questionable character while harboring such violent views,
Nicole would not have suffered the way she did.
