“Jamieson,” I said.
“I heard, Conner.” He hugged me. “I’m so sorry.”
“Thank you.”
He pushed the button to the intercom. “Do you need any help down there, Jackson?”
Jackson looked up. “Thanks, Jamieson, but I’ve got it. I’m almost finished.”
“Hi, Dr. Finn,” Ella said.
“Hey, sweetheart.”
“Were you here in the hospital?” Nathan asked him.
“Yeah. I was in a meeting when I heard.”
“I can’t stop thinking about my Uncle Ian and what happened to him,” I said.
“Conner, that was a totally different surgery and situation.” Jamieson placed his hand on my shoulder. “Charlotte is a young and healthy woman. She’ll pull through this.”
“With what deficits?” Tears filled my eyes as I looked at him.
His grip on my shoulder tightened as he let out a sigh.
The door opened, and Georgia walked in.
“My God, Conner.” She hugged me tight. “I came as soon as I could.”
“Thanks, Georgia.”
“How is she?” She turned and looked through the glass.
“I don’t know. Dr. Moretti is stopping the bleed in her abdomen, and Jackson is relieving the pressure on her brain and fixing a bleed.”
“Jesus Christ.” She wiped her eyes. “How the hell did this happen?”
“I don’t know. I haven’t found anything out because the only thing that matters now is that she survives this.”
“We’re finished.” Jackson looked up at us, and I walked out of the suite to go see him.
“Listen to me.” Jackson gripped my shoulders. “I relieved the pressure in her brain and repaired the bleed. There’s still significant swelling, and you know what that means.”
“You have to keep her in a medically induced coma.” I looked up at the ceiling to prevent more tears from falling.
“Yes. You know it’s for her own good and recovery.”
“How long?” I asked.
“The very least a week. I’ll be monitoring her progress every day.”
“And, when you bring her out of the coma? What are the chances she’ll wake up?”
“I don’t know, brother. Every patient is different.”
“And deficits?” I asked.
“You know I can’t answer that,” he spoke with sadness. “They’re prepping to take her to the ICU now.”
