"Avoidance?"
"Yes. There must be something he dares not face, so he is desperately avoiding it. To wake him up, unless he realizes that the thing he is avoiding is no longer an issue, he will then wake up and face this world."
Ruan Tianling fell silent: "I understand."
...
Coming out of the doctor's office, Jian Yufei couldn't wait to ask him.
"What did the doctor say? Why is my dad still in a coma?"
Ruan Tianling repeated the doctor's words in a low voice.
Jian Yufei understood immediately —
"Is Dad avoiding me?"
"Does he think he killed me, so he doesn't dare to wake up? Or is he afraid that if he wakes up, he might continue to hurt me?"
Ruan Tianling pressed his lips: "I suppose that's the case."
"Then what should we do? Should I go tell him that I'm fine and he can't harm me, so he will wake up?"
"I don't know. The doctor said he might not be able to hear what we say."
"If he can't hear, how will he know?"
