Time-Limited Love: A Contract Expired, Not Renewed novel Chapter 406

Life went on. After a period of recovery, Zinnia returned to her job at Veridian University Affiliated Hospital, and everything seemed to be falling back into a familiar rhythm.

Throughout this time, Landon showed no signs of waking. According to the doctors, the rock that had struck his frontal lobe had caused severe brain damage. A large blood clot had formed, one that the body couldn’t absorb on its own. Surgery was an option, but it came with a high risk of leaving him in a permanent vegetative state.
