A doctor approached Waylon hastily and spoke to him in their native Osean language that neither Janie nor Luca understood. Benjamin, on the other hand, turned pale as he heard what the doctor had said and rushed out of the ward. Waylon quickly followed in his stride as well. Luca and Janie exchanged confused glances with each other.
“Did something happen to Emma?!” Janie suddenly realized.
Luca looked at Abel worriedly. Thankfully, Abel was fully unconscious right now, or he would have gone mad if he heard the news about Emma. On the other hand, Luca wondered how Ms. Emma was doing. He crouched down into a kneeling position and said a silent prayer to protect the couple from any further suffering.
…
Waylon and Benjamin rushed into Emma’s room and found her surrounded by several doctors with solemn expressions on their faces. Waylon immediately grabbed Emma’s wrist, but he could not feel any pulse. Did this mean… Was Emma…? He dared not finish his thoughts.
“Has Master Adelmar been notified?” he asked the doctors.
“Yes, he has,” one of the doctors responded. “Is there… any hope left?”
Waylon could not answer the doctor. His eyes fogged up with tears. Was there any hope left? He wondered the same too. He could only hope that his father could give Emma a chance. He took out a few silver needles and tried a last-ditch attempt at reviving Emma.
Janie began to sob out loud, crying into Benjamin’s chest. “Ben, Emma… She…”
Benjamin held onto Janie, but he was in shock himself. “Emma, don’t… don’t leave us…” he chanted those words like a prayer over and over again.
Not long after, Robert Adelmar arrived and chased everyone out of the room except for his son who would serve as his assistant.
“Father, is there... any hope left?” Waylon asked tentatively.
“Let me see…” That was all Robert said before getting to work. The father and son worked on saving Emma from morning until late afternoon.
Benjamin was slumped outside the room, repeating the same prayer over and over again.
