First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Became a Vegetative Patient

As Serena Jennings expected, Lana Xavier indeed brought beer and snacks.

On the phone, Serena didn’t tell Lana that Ethan White had woken up and came looking for her.

She only said she would meet a long-lost old classmate at her house.

Serena intended to give Lana a surprise.

But when Lana knocked on the door, the person who opened it was Ethan White.

Seeing the living Ethan White, Lana let out an earth-shattering scream.

"Sis, the neighbors will complain."

Serena was exasperated.

If she’d known Lana would react like this, she should have explained clearly on the phone in advance, to give Lana some mental preparation.

This wasn’t a surprise; it was sheer shock.

Ethan was also somewhat puzzled by Lana’s reaction.

"Lana, I’ve woken up from a coma, not returned from the dead. You don’t need to be so freaked out, do you?"

Lana stared wide-eyed at Ethan, first pinching his face, then smacking his forehead.

She then asked, "Does it hurt?"

"Lana!"

Serena couldn’t help but yell at Lana.

After all, Ethan had just recovered from a serious illness, which was not far off from returning from the dead.

She was very worried Lana might accidentally cause some aftereffects for Ethan.

"With such force, don’t your hands hurt?"

Ethan asked, amused yet helpless.

Even now, Lana dared not believe her eyes.

The person standing in front of her was Ethan White.

A living Ethan White.

Although Ethan said he’d woken up from a coma rather than returning from the dead, in Lana’s eyes, there’s hardly any difference between the two.

The three of them sat down in the small living room, drinking and chatting.

Ethan White was a high school classmate of Serena and Lana.

Serena went to high school in City B, and during high school, she had changed from Chloe Linton to Serena Jennings.

Ethan White and Lana were her close friends, and the three were a small, somewhat famous group at High School B.

Because Ethan was the handsome boy at High School B, and Serena was the school beauty.

In the eyes of the entire school’s teachers and students, Serena and Ethan were a perfect couple.

However, in reality, they were not boyfriend and girlfriend.

Serena knew Ethan liked her.

Ethan never hid this fact.

He confessed to Serena, but Serena rejected him because she couldn’t let go of her first love in her heart.

Serena thought that after this, she and Ethan wouldn’t even be able to remain friends.

Yet Ethan accepted this reality calmly and told her he would always pursue her.

And Ethan did just that.

Serena had been learning piano since she was young, with a remarkable gift for music.

Originally, she wanted to apply for a music college.

In the summer vacation of her second year of high school, Ethan and Lana accompanied Serena to City A to participate in a piano competition.

It was that piano competition that changed not only Serena’s life but Ethan’s as well.

"I’m so sorry, Ethan..."

Feeling the effects of the alcohol, Serena’s eyes were red with tears.

"I’m really sorry... If I hadn’t asked you to return to the hotel to get the amulet, you wouldn’t have had the car accident, wouldn’t have..."

Become a coma patient.

She considered begging those two people who had long since cut off parental ties with her, but instinctively felt they wouldn’t pay a single cent for her.

Ethan’s parents, especially his mother, blamed Serena for Ethan’s accident and coma and kept demanding medical expenses from her.

Audrey Jennings didn’t have much money, so Serena had to rely on herself.

She worked several part-time jobs, no matter how much she earned, and sent money to Ethan’s mother every month.

Until her inadvertent design was discovered and favored by Peter, launching a piano series that made her the new darling in the fashion industry, her financial situation improved.

She sent Ethan’s mother the entire one-million-dollar dividend given to her by FY.

Maybe from that profit, Ethan’s mother then demanded a million dollars from her every year.

Serena agreed.

If money could treat Ethan, if it could lessen her guilt, why not!

"Alright, stop crying... I’m awake now, aren’t I?"

Ethan wiped Serena’s tears with tissues, but Serena cried incessantly like she was acting spoiled with Ethan.

"I accept your apology, and you’ve paid so much for the medical expenses. If you still feel indebted to me, then marry me."

Knowing Ethan was joking, Serena broke into a smile through her tears.

Though Ethan was awake now, which was a joyful occasion for everyone.

But what if he hadn’t awakened?

In fact, Serena, Lana, Ethan’s parents, and everyone at High School B who heard about it didn’t believe Ethan had any chance of waking up.

A coma patient!

Ethan himself felt it was unbelievable when he woke up.

"Actually, you saved me, Serena..."

Ethan smiled gently, his smile warm and graceful like jade.

Serena was stunned, lowered her eyes, and shook her head.

It seemed... Ethan must have already known about her paying millions in medical expenses.
