Ethan walked over to the car and carefully examined Zayn's condition.
After a moment, he straightened up and said, "Looks like he has a fractured arm and a head injury. I don't see anything else serious. Don't worry. If anything happens to him, it's because he wasn't paying attention while driving. It isn't your fault."
Even so, Josephine would feel guilty for the rest of her life if Zayn suffered any lasting consequences from this accident.
"How bad is his head injury? He won't end up in a vegetative state, will he?"
Ethan found her question amusing but he didn't laugh. Instead, he reassured her in a calm voice. "It's not that serious. You don't need to panic."
Just then, the ambulance arrived.
The crowd quickly stepped aside as the paramedics rushed over to move Zayn out of the car.
"Are any of his family members here? Do you want to accompany him in the ambulance?"
Without hesitation, Josephine raised her hand. "I am."
She quickly followed the medical team into the ambulance. To her surprise, Ethan climbed in as well.
She glanced at him gratefully. At a time like this, she needed someone by her side.
On the way to the hospital, the doctors conducted a preliminary examination before giving their assessment.
"The patient has a fractured right arm and a moderate concussion. There's also a possibility of rib fractures, which we'll need to confirm with further tests."
Josephine's mind was in a mess. She barely processed the medical terms.
"Is his life in danger?" she asked nervously.
The doctor firmly replied, "No."
She breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Will there be any long-term effects? His head injury looks serious. Could he end up in a vegetative state?"
