Chapter 185Â
Dorothy took the medical records and reviewed them. The examination results showed that she had completely lost her self–awareness of the outside world and was unconscious. However, she still retained the functions of the thalamus and brainstem, allowing her to breathe, have a heartbeat, and maintain metabolism. She also had some cranial nerve reflexes and spinal reflexes.Â
She slowly put down the medical record, “Vegetative state?”Â
Dr. Poole nodded, “All of his injuries were in the brain. I have been performing surgeries for so many years, and I have never seen a case where such severe brain damage was caused during a beating. Most of them are from car accidents or falls from heights.”Â
“Dr. Acosta, let me interject and say that this was more than just a simple beating, it was life–threatening.”Â
Dorothy’s face darkened.Â
“Oh, by the way, he needs to continue staying in the hospital in this situation. The awakening time for vegetative patients can range from one month to several years, and the cost is likely to be high. Although you are an internal employee and can enjoy discounts, in the long run…”Â
“I know,” Dorothy lowered her gaze, “I will figure out the money issue.”Â
After seeing off Dr. Poole, Dorothy returned to the ward, but she didn’t dare to tell them the true situation of Rogelio.Â
As for the required expenses.Â
Dorothy seemed to have made up her mind. After leaving the hospital, she made an appointment to meet a lawyer responsible for handling divorceÂ
cases at a restaurant.Â
Dorothy had already prepared all the documents for divorce, but this time on the divorce agreement, she added a clause that stated the divorce settlement only required one million.Â
The lawyer was surprised to see this divorce property income, “Mrs. Lambert, are you sure you don’t want to fight for more for yourself?”Â
Her husband was Dwayne!Â
Given her situation, the property obtained from the divorce was worth more than a million!Â
Dorothy smiled bitterly, “No need, one million, one house, is enough.”Â
