Chapter 665
Julian Sterling Goes Down a Dead-End Path
Another three days passed, and Ruby Sterling finally couldn't help coming to see Claire Bennett again.
The moment she pushed the door open, she saw Julian Sterling with a deathly pale, awful expression on his face. He was unshaven, looking utterly haggard and worn down. In Ruby Sterling's memory, Julian Sterling had always been handsome and polished; she had never seen him like this before.
And now, for Claire Bennett's sake, he had actually let himself become like this.
"Bro..."
Ruby Sterling had just started to speak when she saw Julian Sterling's body sway and then topple to the side. Her face changed instantly, and she immediately told Cameron Quinn to help him up.
The two of them rushed Julian Sterling to the ER.
"Doctor, how is my brother?" Ruby Sterling asked the attending physician anxiously.
The doctor said helplessly, "The patient is extremely weak, and his nerves are stretched too tight. He probably hasn't rested for several days. If he still doesn't get proper rest and keeps ruining his body like this, then at this rate, I think he'll be able to lie in a hospital bed right alongside Miss Bennett."
Hearing that, Ruby Sterling sighed helplessly. She knew how tense Julian Sterling was over Claire Bennett. He had probably not slept again at all after learning about this.
That was why he had suddenly fainted today.
She was so anxious she was almost in tears, but Cameron Quinn was still relatively calm. He said to the doctor, "Please treat Julian Sterling as soon as possible. Give him a sedative so he can get some proper rest."
Cameron Quinn knew that if Julian Sterling woke up, he would definitely ignore his own body again and go back to keeping watch over Claire Bennett.
So he had to make sure he got proper rest.
When Ruby Sterling heard Cameron Quinn's words, she understood what he meant. She felt that Cameron Quinn had thought things through more carefully. Julian Sterling really did need to rest properly.
Back when she had brought Claire Bennett and Julian Sterling together, she had hoped her good friend would find happiness.
She had never expected their relationship to develop into this. It was clear her brother truly loved Claire Bennett deeply. By now, there was no longer any need to doubt Julian Sterling's feelings for Claire Bennett.
If Claire Bennett could wake up, that would be best. If she couldn't, Ruby Sterling had no idea what Julian Sterling would become.
Ruby Sterling felt both heartache and relief. Claire Bennett had found her love, but unfortunately she had now suffered such an accident. Ruby Sterling only hoped Claire Bennett would wake up as soon as possible.
...
Julian Sterling brought in many top doctors.
They held multiple consultations, but the outcome was never encouraging. Everyone said that if Claire Bennett could wake up within three months, then there would be no problem at all. But if she couldn't wake up within three months, then from then on she could only become a vegetative patient and wait for the possibility of waking up someday in the future.
They said she might wake up in the future, but Quentin Sterling and Claire Bennett's mother had both been like that for so many years and still had never woken up.
Miracles had never existed.
After hearing the specialists, Julian Sterling said nothing.
He only silently instructed Marcus Reed to keep looking for more doctors. He could not accept such an outcome for Claire Bennett.
As for Julian Sterling's company, it was now at a complete standstill. No one knew what it would become in the future. Right now, in Julian Sterling's eyes, the most important thing was Claire Bennett's physical condition.
The Bennett family was the last to receive the news. After Victor Bennett learned about Claire Bennett's condition, he hurried over to see her.
But Julian Sterling did not let him enter the hospital room. After all, the reason Claire Bennett had ended up like this had a great deal to do with Victor Bennett as well. Ava Bennett was his daughter. If he had kept his lower body under control and hadn't produced Ava Bennett, maybe none of this would have happened today.
In the end, Victor Bennett could only look at Claire Bennett lying in the hospital room through the glass window.
His face was full of worry and helplessness, and in the end he could only turn and leave.
During this period, Julian Sterling was like a madman, constantly searching for doctors. But every time, the result he got was the same. Each time, Julian Sterling listened with a blank expression, then turned around and continued bringing in new doctors.
Worried about Julian Sterling's condition, Ruby Sterling had been coming early every day these past few days to keep an eye on him.
Seeing Julian Sterling's state, she knew he had started going down a dead-end path. This couldn't go on. Sooner or later, something was going to happen to her brother!
