"Mrs. Harrington, please try to calm down for now…"
While the doctor was still explaining to Victoria, Jonathan also arrived at the entrance of the ICU.
He stood in front of the ward, not fully listening to the doctor. Instead, he scanned left and right until his eyes finally landed on Sophie, who was standing at the far end of the corridor, tears streaming down her face.
Their gazes met. No words were exchanged. With each passing second, the atmosphere grew heavier and heavier.
Finally, Jonathan looked away and focused on listening to the doctor's continued explanation of his son's condition.
Sophie lowered her eyes and stubbornly remained in her small corner at the end of the hallway…
For the entire morning, Sophie stood like this at one end of the corridor, silently keeping vigil outside Ned's ward in her own quiet way.
Three days later, Ned still hadn't woken up.
The doctor transferred him to a regular ward, stressing that he still needed to be monitored.
