Sean slowly walked toward the ICU, where John was moved after surgery.
His vitals were weak, and the doctors said that he would either live or never wake up.
It all depended on the patient—his fate was now beyond the realm of medical knowledge.
Sean quietly watched him, not quite able to describe how he felt.
Perhaps he found it a waste—he had come to admire John a long time ago, as he genuinely found the man to be a genius. He really would have liked to work with John and even entrust him the future of the Cranstons.
But now, he lay on the bed in the ICU ward, his fate unknown.
Sean sighed—whatever happened to John now, there were things he must do for the man, such as bringing Richard over to keep him company.
This might be the last time Richard got to see his father, after all.

Patrick stayed at the hospital for a week.
Aside from the broken ribs, he had no other issues—his heart was fine too, which the doctors described as a blessing in disguise.
Cordy stayed with him every day and was basically inseparable from him.
Sean visited often too, though he would be standing outside the ward and would never impose on Patrick or Cordy.
