Ethan

I don’t know when I started pacing, I just know I can’t stay stíll.

I can’t sit down, I can’t breathe normally

The hospital corridor feels too white, too clean too cold for what’s happening.

My hands won’t stop moving, I run them through my hair, over my face.

I clasp them together, I squeeze them, I let them go… Again, and again, and again.

Because if I stop… if I stop for even a second… I’ll think. And if I think… I’ll break.

The emergency room door is still closed, damn door, damn waiting.

“Come on…” I murmur. “Come on, please…”

I don’t know who I’m talking to, God, fate. Whoever is listening, but no one answers.

Time passes slowly, or quickly. I don’t know… I have no sense of anything.

I just know that at some point… The door will open. And everything inside me reacts.

I jerk my head up, my heart racing.

A doctor comes out, and I don’t think, I don’t measure my reaction. Ljust on toward him.

“Doctor!”

My voice comes out louder than I expected, more desperate.

“My wife…” I swallow hard. “How is my wife?”

The man looks at me, serious… Too serious. And I don’t like that.

I don’t like it at all.

“Sir…”

“Tell me what happened,” I interrupt. “Please.”

My hands are trembling; I can’t control them.

“The information is confidential at the moment,” he says with professional calm.

I look at him, confused.

“Confidential?”

I feel something inside me begin to collapse.

“She’s my wife!”

Chapter 324-My Soul in Pieces, Part 1 My voice breaks.

“You have to tell me something.”

The doctor maintains his composure.

“We’re waiting for some results.

Results.

That word sounds like anything but good.

“Is she alive?”

The question comes out on its own, raw and direct. And I hate having to ask it.

The doctor nods.

“Yes.”

And for a second… Just a second… I can breathe, but it’s not enough.

“Is she conscious?”

Silence.

Too much silence.

“Sir, we’re doing everything we can…”

“Doctor!”

I interrupt him again, this time more agitated.

“Please…”

My voice drops.

“Please, tell me something clear.”

But he just repeats the same thing: that they’re evaluating, that they need time, that I have to wait.

Wait, that word again.

I take a step back, run a hand over my face. I feel the cold sweat, the desperation.

“Shit…”

I turn around, take a few steps.

I don’t know where, I just move. Because staying still hurts more, because every second…

It’s torture. And then… The hours pass, or so I think. Because when I come to again…

I see her, Clara’s mother. She comes running down the hall. Her face… Distraught, lilled with fear.

Chapter 324 My Soul in Pears, Part 1

“Ethan!”

-She calls me, and when she reaches me… She clings to my arm.

“What happened?” she asks through tears. “What happened to my daughter?

I swallow.

My throat closes up; I don’t know how to say it. I don’t know how to explain something I don’t even understand myself.

“There was an accident…”

My voice sounds distant, unfamiliar.

“An accident?”

She shakes her head.

“No… no, no…”

Her hands tremble.

“How is she?”

That question again. And I… I have no answer.

“The doctors… are checking…”

“Ethan!”

Her voice breaks.

“Tell me the truth.”

I look at her and feel useless. Completely useless.

“I don’t know…”

I barely manage to say it.

“They’re not telling me anything clear.”

And that breaks her even more; she starts to cry. To cover her mouth, to deny it.

“My child…”

I hold her as best I can. But I don’t know how to comfort someone like this, I don’t know how to hold this together… When I’m falling apart myself.

And then… The door opens again, the same doctor. And this time… I lose control.

I walk straight toward him, faster, more aggressively.

“Doctor.”

Chapter 324-My Soul in Pieces, Part 1

My voice is no longer a request, it’s a demand.

need you to tell me what’s happening.”

The man tries to maintain his professional distance.

“Sir, like I told you…”

But no, not this time. I take his arm, not violently… but desperately.

“No.”

I look him straight in the eyes.

“Don’t beat around the bush.”,

My voice trembles.

“She’s my wife.”

I squeeze a little tighter.

“I want to know how she is.”

The doctor frowns, but he understands. He has to understand.

“Sir, let go of me.”

I don’t do it immediately, but finally… I let go.

My chest rises and falls sharply.

“Please…”

And this time… Something changes. The doctor sighs.

“We’ve managed to stabilize her.”

That word, stabilize.

“What does that mean?”

“It means she’s no longer in immediate danger.”

I close my eyes for a second. Thank you, thank you… But it’s not enough.

“And…?”

“She’s unconscious.”

And then… the world stops.

Unconscious.

“What…?”
