In the corridor, Smith approached, her face lighting up upon seeing Harper. "That's wonderful news! We have good news to start the year!"
Although here was a nursing home, it was more accurately described as a convalescent home, with top-notch facilities and conducive to recuperation.
Over the years, Smith had seen many vegetative patients, but very few woke up like Harper did. She only took a half year to regain consciousness, which was very rare.
After the New Year, the elderly residents gradually returned here. Today was another rare warm and sunny day. There were quite a few people in the garden, the elderly scattered about in pairs or groups of three, chatting, dancing, playing chess, and cards. There was even an old man who set up a stove to roast sweet potatoes and chestnuts.
