706 Relief (1/2)

When Tony Twain fainted for the first time, several things occurred.

The doctors knew he had been in a coma for 24 hours before waking up abruptly. They also knew he had drunk a cup of paste-like food and chatted with Shania for a while. Then he went back to sleep. The news made the doctors relieved and indicated that treatment was successful, and Tony Twain's life should be out of danger now.

Dunn, who regularly helped out at the hospital, heard about this news immediately as well. He was relieved and went home to rest so he could prepare to start work again. He then entrusted everything in the hospital to Shania.

The reporters surrounding the hospital also received this news. The hospital called a press conference to report on the latest situation, informing the general public through this. Those who were worried about Tony Twain's safety could finally catch their breaths. The Nottingham Forest fan club website also immediately announced the news of Twain's stabilizing condition.

”After being unconscious for 24 hours, Tony Twain finally woke up for a short while. We are all happy to hear about this.” The BBC newscaster announced this with a wide smile.

After the Nottingham Forest players found out that Twain would survive, they were extremely relieved and could finally focus on their training and the competition.

There were also people who cared about more than just Twain's health condition. Tony Twain's sudden collapse brought back to attention an issue he had once denied and had now become a reality.

When the news of Twain's collapse first broke out, Judy Shania Jordana, who was initially supposed to promote Cruise's new film in Shanghai, China, suddenly disappeared from the name list. After 14 hours, she quietly appeared at London Heathrow Airport and, after another hour, she was sitting by Tony Twain's bed. The doctors and nurses from the Royal College of Physicians leaked this, and some fans even used their phones to take pictures.

If both of them were simply friends, why would Shania be so affected by this incident? Others would, at most, make a call to ask about it. Only she would fly from such a faraway land and go to great lengths to take care of him, and the worry on her face was undeniable—she did not even try to hide it. On the road, she had still been trying to keep a low profile to avoid the pestering paparazzi, but once she was beside Tony Twain, she did not hide anything. She allowed those busybodies to see their relationship.

So finally, the answer was out in the clear—Tony Twain and Shania were no ordinary friends. They were indeed a couple! It was unthinkable that Tony Twain's collapse could reveal such a shocking truth.

After finding out that Twain was not in life-threatening danger, for the time being, the media became active again. They immediately caused a clamor about the news regarding the loving relationship between Shania and Twain.

While the public was remorseful about the troubled fate Twain had these days, they were also commending his ability to win the heart of a pretty 18-year-old supermodel. The Chinese media claimed that this was the modern version of ”a blessing in disguise”.

Even BBC News, after confirming the truth behind Twain and Shania's relationship, jokingly said, ”Losing on the playing field, but gaining in the field of relationship. No matter what happens, Tony Twain never loses.”

Shania did not make an appearance to clear things up either. She could not be bothered with what outsiders thought about the relationship between Twain and her. In this period, there was only Uncle Tony in her heart and nothing else.

What about work? She had already thrown it far away. Other than the final promotional activities for her film with Tom Cruise, she turned down all the fashion shows during the Christmas season until January of the following year. Through her agent, Mr. Fascal, Shania had declared that she would not leave until Tony Twain got better. She did not care if she was throwing away her partnership with famous international brands. This was as good as publicly announcing her relationship with the 40-year-old man.

”Love makes people do crazy things, but love as crazy as Jordana's...this is my first time seeing something like this,” one fashion magazine commented on this matter.

When Twain woke up again, he had already slept for 12 hours. He turned his head and laughed when he saw Shania, who was sitting by his side, looking a little sallow. ”See? As I said, I didn't sleep for too long this time.”

Although his body was still weak, his mental state was a lot better compared to the last time. Twain shifted his eyes, discovering he had a bed beside him. It was for Shania to rest on. Hence, he asked. ”How much did you sleep in the past few days?”

”I don't remember.” Shania's hair was a little messy, and her bare face seemed extremely haggard and devastated. If she walked out like this, even the most loyal and hardcore of her fans would not recognize her.

”Get some sleep. I'm fine already.”

Shania stubbornly shook her head to decline Twain's suggestion. ”I'm not tired.”

Just as both of them were still talking, the door to the room was pushed open. Some doctors and young female nurses walked in. They all seemed surprised but happy upon seeing Twain lie sideways with his eyes opened.

”This is great! Thank God, Mr. Twain, you're awake!”

Twain smiled and thanked the doctors who saved his life. ”I haven't even thanked you all, my saviors.”

”Ha.” A middle-aged male doctor who seemed to be the leader gleamed. ”You can save those words of thanks; it's our job to save lives. As for the person by your side, however…” He looked at Shania. ”Ms. Shania stayed beside you this whole time. You should thank her properly.”

Twain looked over at Shania but did not say anything. Despite that, they both knew what the other was thinking about. Of course, he should thank her. He was prepared to spend the next half of his life to thank her.

Even fools would know what was going on witnessing such a loving scene. The doctors and nurses were not surprised at this, but the middle-aged man still coughed to interrupt the two who were still looking at each other. ”Sorry to disturb the both of you, but we have something for Ms. Shania. However, since you are awake, Mr. Twain, then it's better that we tell you directly.”

”Is this regarding my body?” Twain asked.

The man nodded, then stretched his hand towards Twain. ”Hi, Mr. Twain. I'm your head physician, Stanley Meley, but you can call me Stanley.”

Twain also held out his hand, and they exchanged a simple handshake.

”Have you had the flu recently?” Stanley Meley immediately went straight to the main topic after the self-introduction.

Twain nodded.

”Did you cough?”

”Initially, I didn't, then I did. I didn't get any better, but I didn't take any medicine either,” Twain recalled.

Stanley exchanged a look with his colleagues. Shania stood by the side, not interrupting, looking at them in silence.
