After a series of tests, Eric was finally taken to his own room, and the people who were waiting for this moment, all gathered in an office to listen to the doctor analysis.
"The results of the MRI exam showed that Mr. Williams doesn't have a skull fracture, and he also doesn't have the symptoms of internal bleeding in his head, so there is no need to worry."
"Doctor Duncan, when will he wake up?"Drewwho stood in front of the crowd eagerly asked.

Hesitating again, Dr. Duncan nodded
"How could that be? You're a doctor. How can you not be sure? Aren't you the best doctor here?" Drew screamed back at him.
Trying to get things under control, Jeffrey said: "Drew, don't be rude."
Dr. Duncan calmlylooked at the hysterical girl, who was still wearing her blood-stained pajamas and explained: "MissBarrymore, according to my past experience, people who have the same degree of injury as Mr. Williams, all woke by this time. But unfortunately, Mr. Williams didn't wake up according to common sense. So, I can't give you an accurate answer, all we can do now is patiently wait."
"No, I want to transfer him, I'm going to the best hospital in Los Angeles, I ...... " the furiousDrewdemanded.
Jeffrey who was trying to keep her calm; held her by the shoulders and said: "Drew, stop it, this is the best hospital in Los Angeles."
The doctor who also tried to defuse the situation said: "Perhaps, you can try speaking to the patient, he may wake up."
When Drew heard the suggestion, she immediately turned around and ran to Eric's room. When her figure disappeared, Jeffrey asked, "Doctor, does this method really work?"
Dr. Duncan smiled wryly and said: "I just wanted to calm MissBarrymore, her emotions are unstable, she might collapse if she doesn't calm down."

"Doctor, is there a possibility that he is in a come?" After listening to Duncan's explanation, Barry Diller finally asked the question most people wanted to ask but didn't dare to.
