I still don't understand why it's "convoluted," though. He went to a private boarding school in Switzerland, he was abducted by aliens, he suffered a head trauma and forgot everything he'd ever known, he was forcibly drafted into a secret mercenary army...all far more "soap opera" than being in an accident and suffering a coma. He has to be taken off the board while his daughters grow up so he can be surprised when they show up. Surely a coma is one of the least convoluted or overly dramatic ways to accomplish that. All he did was lie there with tubes in his body until he woke up, at which point he got on with his life. There isn't a single bit of drama in that story. There's just a time skip.To obtain the effect of finding out (at least 18) years later that one has daughters, among multiple possible scenarios, to say that right after the coitus, the guy was scared away by the father of the girl and was forced to a drunk drive to an almost deadly accident and then he miracolously woke up from a coma 10 years after to the utterly shock of his doctors.
