Chapter 125: Ready
The doctor’s words hung in the air like a heavy fog, casting a pall over the room as he delivered the devastating news. "I’m sorry," he began, his voice gentle but tinged with sorrow. "Abby is in a coma."
Remo’s heart sank at the doctor’s words, a cold knot of dread settling in the pit of his stomach. Coma. The word echoed in his mind like a death knell, filling him with a sense of profound despair.
The doctor continued, his voice steady as he explained the severity of Abby’s condition. He spoke of traumatic injuries, of damage to her brain and body that had left her unconscious and unresponsive. Each word felt like a dagger to Remo’s heart, a painful reminder of the fragility of life and the cruel twists of fate.
As the doctor detailed Abby’s prognosis, Remo felt as if he were living in a nightmare from which he could not wake. He struggled to comprehend the enormity of what had happened, the magnitude of their loss.
Beside him, Tony and the lawyer listened in stunned silence, their faces pale with shock and grief. The reality of Abby’s condition seemed to hang in the air like a heavy weight, crushing them beneath its unbearable burden.
As the doctor concluded his explanation, a heavy silence descended upon the room. Remo’s mind raced with a million thoughts and emotions, each one more agonizing than the last.
Abby was in a coma. Their beloved Abby, the light of Remo’s life, lay unconscious and helpless, her future hanging in the balance. And as Remo grappled with the enormity of their loss, he knew that their lives would never be the same again.
Remo’s voice trembled as he struggled to find the words, his heart heavy with fear and uncertainty. "Will she be okay?" he managed to choke out, his voice barely above a whisper. "How long will she be in a coma?"
The doctor’s expression softened with sympathy as he met Remo’s gaze. "We’re doing everything we can for Abby," he reassured him, his tone gentle but grave. "But I’m afraid it’s too soon to say. Comas are complex and unpredictable. We’ll need to monitor her closely and provide the best possible care."
