A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1346

"The patient was fortunate that he was brought in when he was. A second slower and he might have ended up in a vegetative state," the doctor said. "He's stable now, but he would need to be kept in an ICU for further observation after a craniotomy. Visits are inadvisable for now."

Everyone quickly heaved a sigh of relief, with Ryan quickly turning toward Lindsay. "Don't worry, Mom. Dad's fine."

Lindsay burst into tears at those words—she had been keeping it in for a while and could no longer do so.

"It's alright, now. The doctor said that he is going to be alright," Quinn assured her.

Lindsay nodded repeatedly, but there was no stopping her tears.

Fortunately, Marvin was wheeled out just then, and everyone hurried to his side.

Marvin was still unconscious, and his head bandaged while he looked enfeebled.

Lindsay called out to him softly in fear of startling him, and they walked with him as he was brought to the ICU.

They could see from the window as Marvin was attached with various tubes and instruments, while Lindsay continued to sob hysterically.

"You should watch out for your own health too, Mom," Ryan assured her. "Dad made it against all odds. Don't hurt yourself from stress."

"I know, I know…" Lindsay nodded, but her heart still ached for Marvin who had to be in there alone.

"Get some rest for now," Ryan told her. "You must be tired—Dad's surgery took a while."
