The thought left him struggling to compose himself, but he forced himself to turn away. There would be time to grieve later. For now, he needed to ensure that his parents were cared for and that Maya received the medical attention she needed.
Nearby, Victor was helping the medical crew transfer Maya onto a waiting stretcher. She had not regained consciousness during the journey, and he was unwilling to take her directly to the main residence without first ensuring that she was stable.
"Is she going to be all right?" Thomas asked, turning toward them.
The attending physician completed another examination before answering. "Her vital signs are stable. She appears to have lost consciousness following severe emotional distress. We will need to monitor her for a while, but there is no immediate indication of a life-threatening problem."
Thomas released a breath he had not realized he was holding.
"Thank you."
