"Claire, what have you done to Irene? Why can't she speak?" he demanded.

Irene wept bitterly.
"Brother, you fool. Stop yelling at Claire. Stop hurting her. You'll regret this one day." She had so much to say, but every word caught in her throat.
The hospital room was a whirlwind of confusion.

After a brief examination, the doctor reassured them, "Having been in a coma for five years, the patient's physical functions, including her speech, have deteriorated. It's normal for her to be unable to speak immediately. With rehabilitation, she'll regain her speech." So that's the situation.
