You’re spreading negativity!”
Although Dorothea was advanced in age, she had weathered countless storms in her life, she tried her best to pull herself together and immediately arranged for the hospital transfer before calling Tony,
Zachary was soon transferred to the city’s most prestigious private hospital.
Tony was a leading expert in neurology and the hospital’s deputy director. He immediately set aside all his current work and joined several other doctors to take over Zachary’s emergency treatment.
What followed was another long and excruciating wait.
After hearing the news, Renee and Anne arrived at the hospital to show their concem.
Renee walked in and immediately threw her arms around Grace, whose eyes were swollen from crying. She poured out a stream of comforting words before turning to console Dorothea as well. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Kane. Zach will definitely pull through. He’s going to be okay! Tony has handled many cases like this before. His surgeries are always successful. Please look after yourself first.”
“I hope so.” Dorothea looked like she had aged ten years overnight. Her eyes were reddened.
Renee tried to case the somber mood and leaned close to Grace before asking quietly, “By the way, wasn’t Zach in Usna? Why did he come back all of a sudden? Why did he go racing? What exactly happened?”
Grace rubbed her eyes and said, “I don’t know either. He came home yesterday afternoon and asked where Don was. He was furious. He kept asking if Don had been spending time with Giselle. I was confused then and didn’t get a chance to ask further before he stormed out again.
“I thought it might just be a minor argument between him and Don. It was normal to throw a tantrum. I never expected we’d get a call saying he had been in an accident later that night.”
Grace sobbed so hard she could no longer speak at that point. She was too overwhelmed by grief to even question what had caused the crash. All she could do was cry and state helplessly at the surgery room doors, praying with every ounce of her being.
