Need You Now

Gavin was still in deep sleep and showed no signs of waking up. The doctor told Hearst that there was good chance that Gavin
would sleep for a few months, a few years, or even longer. However, Hearst didn't give up. He kept on waiting, expecting the
moment of miracle.
In a blink of an eye, three days had passed since the accident to Gavin. In the following days, Heidy wanted to visit Gavin, but
she was stopped by Annie. Heidy still lived in Hearst's villa and didn't want to leave like that. She was afraid that her relationship
with Hearst would be over once she left here.
Today, on behalf of her company, Heidy went to handle a cooperation business. Since the last time Hearst revealed his real
identity, Jacob was teased for making trouble out of nothing. Some of the companies that cooperated with the JA Group changed
their target and wanted to cooperate with the J.Y Group. And as for this kind of cooperation company, J.Y Group treated them
quite nicely. Therefore, some companies immediately cooperated with the J.Y Group.
After the accident, the profit of the JA Group fell sharply. As the Hua Group was developing fast, the overall economic situation of
the JA Group lagged behind the Hua Group. The business they were talking about was a famous scientific research company in
T country. It had good fame and reputation in electric appliances and other fields. And now, the company was ready to enter the
domestic market.
When Heidy arrived at the hotel and came out of the elevator, she met Hearst who came out of another elevator. Heidy was
surprised to see him. Although they lived under the same roof, over the past few days, they seldom talked with each other.
When she was about to say something, she saw Hearst walking past her coldly. Seeing him leaving, Heidy lowered her eyes.
"Boss, it's time to go. We can't be slower than others," Assistant Chen reminded kindly.
Coming back to her senses, she nodded slightly. She raised her head and slowly walked forward.
In a room of the hotel, a foreigner was sitting on the sofa. He smiled at them and said in fluent Chinese, "I am honored to invite
the CEOs of two outstanding companies in A city. I am sure you know my purpose to invite you here. According to my
investigation, A city's economy achieve great progress. Both of your companies are the best in A city. So, our company plans to
choose one out of the two company as a long-term partner."
With a smile on her lips, Heidy said: "Our company is mainly in the real estate industry, and next year our company will focus on
the sales of household electric appliances. And your company is good at science and technology, and we are good at marketing.
It will be great if we can work together."

The foreigner nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, although the Hua Group mainly focused on real estate, according to my
investigation, it has indeed improved in the electric industry in the past two years. Then what's your opinion, Mr. Hearst?"
With his hands crossed over his chest, Hearst replied calmly, "Our company is growing increasingly fast, and we have two large
shopping malls. If your company cooperate with us, I can draw a good spot to show your products to enhance the brand effects
of your company. The value of a brand has great value on a company."
Heidy's eyes slightly narrowed. The foreigner put on a bigger smile and said, "It's a good idea."
Then, Hearst briefly told the advantages of the J.Y Group, and Heidy followed suit, but it seemed that Hearst was at the
advantage in the meeting. Half an hour later, the foreigner finally decided to cooperate with the J.Y Group. The foreigner stood
up, shook hands with them and said with a big smile on his face, "It's such a pleasure to meet you today. We are so lucky to
meet you here, Mr. Hearst and Miss Heidy."
Hearst shook hands with him and replied, "Me too."
Looking at them, the foreigner teased, "I heard that you and Mr. Hearst is Miss Heidy's husband. I thought you would give the
project to her today. The Hua Group is powerful, but it is not as good as the J.Y Group. I thought Mr. Hearst would help the Hua
Group."
Hearing his words, Heidy's heart missed a beat. If nothing hadn't happened to Gavin, Hearst would help her. But now... "We want
a fair competition," Heidy replied with a slight smile.
"Yes, we did," replied Hearst in a calm tone.
With his thumb up, the foreigner said admiringly, "I really admire you. It's better to separate work and life. Mr. Hearst, I look
forward to our cooperation. Ms. Heidy, I hope there is a chance to cooperate with you."
Heidy nodded her head and turned around and left. Then, Hearst walked behind her. He looked indifferent and didn't plan to talk
with her. Waiting in front of the elevator, both of them looked straight ahead without looking at each other. "Hearst, what should I
do to make you believe that I have nothing to do with this matter?" Heidy said in a weak voice.
Then, with one of his hands in his pocket, he replied calmly, "Show me the evidence."
With a bitter smile, Heidy said in a self-deprecating tone, "If I can show you the evidence, will we still be like this?"

On the other side, Hearst kept silent. The elevator door opened and he walked inside with a expressionless face. Instead of
entering, she just watched the elevator door slowly closing. She watched his figure disappearing in front of her eyes. She
lowered her head with a melancholy smile on her face.
When Hearst came to the ward, the nurse in the room stood up and respectfully said, "Sir."
"How is Gavin?" said Hearst in a low voice.
The nurse replied calmly, "He remains the same. He doesn't have any reaction. The doctor came to check today and said that he
had passed the lung inflammation and infected period. The extravasated blood in his brain has been cleared up. But we don't
know when he will wake up. "
Hearing that, Hearst stared at the little boy who was still asleep with a solemn face. When they were talking, Annie fetched some
water and came in the ward. Seeing him, she smiled and said, "You are here, Hearst."
Hearst nodded and said, "Annie, thank you for all these days. Go and have a rest."
"It doesn't matter. I love Gavin. I treat him like my own child. When I see him lying here, I feel sorry for him. I just want to help
him," Annie said gently.
Without making any response, Hearst fondled Gavin's face. When he turned around, he saw that Annie was going to help Gavin
take a bath. Then, he said to her in a calm voice, "I will do it."
Annie nodded and put the basin on the place where he was not so far from. Hearst grabbed a towel and started to clean the
Gavin's body carefully. "Gavin must be happy to see you bath for him if he wakes up. Gavin is an lovely boy who is easy to
please," Annie said softly.
Hearst rubbed Gavin's arm softly and looked at him. Then he reminded, "Remember, he was so tiny when he was born. In the
blink of an eye, he has grown up. At first, I just wanted to fulfill my mother's wish. After my mother passed away, Gavin and I only
have each other. He was very clever and sensible. Although he miss his mother so much, he never cry in front of me. Because
he was afraid that I would be unhappy..."
Hearst went on telling her what had happened over the past two years as he kept on cleaning Gavin's body. Although Hearst
rarely expressed his feelings, he was grateful that he had a son like Gavin. He was strong, brave and optimistic. Even if she was
sick, she wouldn't turn violent. When receiving treatment, he still smiled like he always did. To Hearst, Gavin was his soft spot.

In many cases, Hearst needed to work day and night. When he felt lonely, he would regain his courage to fight as long as he
thought that Gavin was there for him. Gavin was very important to him. In the first place, the reason why he started to have
feelings for Heidy also had something to do with Gavin. After all, she was the biological mother of Gavin.
Sighing softly, Annie said sadly, "Gavin is so wonderful. How cruel she is to hurt her own son? Women are mean, and I finally
believe in this saying. Hearst, why don't you just break up with her? Otherwise, Gavin will suffer a lot in the future."
Stopping what he was doing, he looked at Gavin's pale face and said slowly, "In fact, till now, I still can't believe that she would
do such a thing. In my eyes, she is as kind as Gavin. But I can't convince myself to believe her as I can't find any evidence to
prove her innocence."
Then, there was a short silence. As long as Hearst thought of the name, his heart ached a lot. Sometimes, he wanted to believe
in Heidy. However, he couldn't do it when he saw that Gavin was still in a coma. He didn't want her to suffer, either. But Gavin
was of great importance to him and he couldn't just let her off easily. As long as Gavin was still in a coma, there was a stalemate
between them.
Sometimes, he wished that it had never happened. In this way, Heidy was doing fine, and Gavin would grow up healthily. But
reality was cruel after all.
When Hearst got home, he often stood at the door of the bedroom, but he couldn't open the door. As long as he thought that
Gavin was still in a coma, he didn't know how to face Heidy. The woman he loved deeply hurt his son. It was a painful and cruel
process.
Hearing that, Annie said in a soft voice, "Hearst, Heidy must have taken advantage of your kindness. She must have thought that
you can't believe she did such cruel thing. That's why she doesn't fear at all."
Hearst didn't respond. He tightened his grip on Gavin. Silence reigned in the room for a long time. Finally, Hearst said in a
hoarse voice, "Now, I just want Gavin to be okay. I will do whatever to protect him."
The nursemaid took the water and walked out. Hearst touched the little boy's face softly. Slowly, he lowered his head and left a
kiss on Gavin's forehead. Then, he said in a soft voice, "Honey, have a good sleep. I hope you will wake up earlier, and I will be
waiting for you here all the time."
