Chapter 212: Preparation for Auction Part 2: Progress of Pedros Recovery! (1/2)

Pedro pressed the log out button, consequently activating a system countdown in his player interface. And when the countdown finished, his vision slowly faded. Almost a minute later, he started to regain his vision and was welcomed by the constant beeps of the medical instrument.

Then, he breathes heavily through the mask on his face—that was connected to a ventilator, as he moves his head, glancing around slowly. He was inside a transparent version of the VR Box, allowing him to see the people waiting outside his glass-walled intensive care unit room.

”Maaaa… Laaaaa…” Pedro faintly cried as his eyes were locked upon his mother—who was seemingly watching some Kdrama on her tablet, and his grandma—who was sleeping on his mother's shoulder. At this moment, Pedro used all his strength to move his body. And fortunate enough, he was able to lift his finger, in fact, even his arm, and was able to tap a button inside the VR box and open it from inside.

”Tsssss…” Smokes came out of the transparent VR Box but it was still not loud enough to get the attention of Pedro's mom from the Kdrama she was watching.

'Mom…' Pedro shook his head and sighed deep inside. 'She can't be helped when she starts to get hooked to those good dramas. Well… I can't blame her! It's probably just a way for her to distract herself from her worries about my current state. But… Can't your instinct at least tell you that your son is already awake?'

'Well… She better notice that I am awake before grandma does… She would definitely be scolded by grandma because of that.' Pedro could not help but force out a smile deep inside. At the same time, he had his fingers crossed—hoping that his mother notices that he was already awake before his grandma does.

At this moment, the doctor monitoring that was tasked to monitor Pedro in the nurse station had noticed the changes in Pedro's vitals. The interval of Pedro's vitals had suddenly become more irregular compared to how it was when he was unconscious.

”What's happening…” The doctor murmured to himself as he scanned through the rest of the information about Pedro's vitals. Then, his eyes finally landed on the monitor that was displaying the live video inside Pedro's intensive care unit room.

”T-The VR Box… It's open!” He cried as he reactively shot up on his seat and ran towards Pedro's intensive care unit room. At the same time, this had caught the attention of Pedro's mom, making him glance towards Pedro's room.

However, before she could even react, Pedro's grandma had woken up and noticed that Pedro's VR Box was open. She pointed towards Pedro's VR Box and said, ”It's open?”

She glanced to Pedro's mom—whose attention was focused on the doctor running towards them. Thus, she can't help but to glance at the doctor and was also seemingly waiting for his remarks.

Unfortunately, contrary to their expectations, the doctor simply nodded in a rush towards them and said, ”Madams, Kindly stay here for the moment. Let me have a look at the patient first. I'll inform you if you can visit the patient.”

The doctor was in a rush to get inside Pedro's intensive care unit room, so, he was not even able to allow Pedro's mom and grandma to utter a word in response. Pedro's mom could only shout, ”Doctor, please do your best to save my son!”

The doctor simply nodded in response as he hurriedly wore the required protective equipment in compliance with the protocol that was needed to be followed upon entering the intensive care unit. At this moment, Pedro gazed towards the doctor with a smile. Then, he said in a weak voice, ”Doctor…”

With a ”Fwshhh!”, the door of the intensive care unit opened and the doctor immediately rushed to Pedro. He said, ”Mr. Pedro, G-Good afternoon! I am Dr. Ecar Mahgilom! One of the physicians under the VR Therapy Department that is in charge of your recovery.”

”Ahm!” Pedro said in a weak voice as he made a slight nod towards Dr. Ecar Mahgilom.

On the other hand, Dr. Ecar Mahgilom took out a pen-looking instrument and placed its rounded metal tip towards Pedro's chest before pressing a button in its opposite tip. In the next second, A weak wave traveled through his body, which seemed like it scanned the whole body of Pedro.

While the pen-looking instrument was scanning Pedro's body, Dr. Ecar Mahgilom gazed at him and said, ”Mr. Pedro… Based on the equipment data, I learned that you were the one who opened the VR Box, right? Can I know if you can move any parts of your body, or even speak?”
