It was a long distance between General Hospital and the outskirts of A City. Coupled with the heavy traffic downtown, by the time Marcos arrived at the hospital, it was already past 10:30 p.m.
There was only half an hour left before visitors were prohibited from entering the ICU.
“Where's my mother?” Out of breath, Marcos trotted over without even greeting Luke and Luca. He just wanted to see his mother's condition and confirm whether they really found her.
Luca looked at the sweat dripping from Marcos' forehead and pointed to the entrance of the ICU. “Mr. Marcos, I’ve already informed the nurse, so you can go in once you put on the isolation gown. The name your mother registered here is Sarah Poplar. Let the doctor know when you go in, and he’ll take you to your mother’s bed.”
Without further ado, Marcos put the isolation gown on.
After disinfecting, the nurse let him in.
The professional doctors and nurses inside asked Marcos for the patient’s name and brought him to Sarah’s bed.
Marcos saw the woman lying on the hospital bed. Due to the craniotomy, her golden blonde hair was completely shaved off. Her head was wrapped in layers and layers of gauze, and her chapped lips were as pale as her face.
She was his biological mother…
Tears rolled down Marcos’ cheeks when he saw how frail Sarah was. From her sunken face and prominent high cheekbones, he could tell that she had suffered a lot in the past 20 years.
Marcos asked the doctor in English, “How is my mother doing?”
“The intracranial hemorrhage was caused by a cerebral aneurysm, but it’s better if you ask the doctor about the specifics.” The doctor glanced at Sarah’s medical records and then at Marcos.
“Can she hear my voice?” Marcos asked again.
“The anesthesia hasn’t worn off yet, so she can’t hear you. You should go first. We’ll notify you immediately if there’s anything wrong with the patient,” said the doctor. Visitors were not allowed to visit the ICU anymore, so he could not let Marcos stay any longer.
Marcos wanted to accompany Sarah, but the doctor did not let him, so he could only walk out with his head down.
After he took off the isolation gown, Luca noticed his bloodshot eyes.
Luca opened her mouth slightly, hesitant to speak. In the end, she could not utter any words of comfort.
She did not know how to comfort Marcos, so she looked up at Luke.
Luke said, “Johann said that we can only know if there are any aftereffects or complications after your mother wakes up.”
Marcos nodded. He was not hoping for Sarah to live a luxurious life, but he just wanted her to be healthy and safe.
“Can we have a talk?” Luke looked at Luca.
“Sure.” Luca knew what he was going to ask.
The three of them went to the coffee shop on the ground floor of the hospital. The coffee shop was open 24 hours a day, as if it was a place for sad people to sit in silence.
“What drink do both of you want?” Luke asked them.
“I don’t want anything.” Marcos was feeling down, so he was not in the mood for anything.
Luca shook her head at Luke, not knowing what to say.
Marcos and Luke were similar in many ways, but Marcos smiled at people more compared to Luke.
After what happened, his smile disappeared. Now, both of them gave off the same cold aura that pushed people away.
In the end, Luke bought two cups of coffee and a glass of juice.
