Arya was like a soulless puppet. She just quietly looked at the door of the emergency room. Her eyes were void of all expression.
She heard Jacob's words, but she couldn't answer.
She was afraid that Daisy could not bear Xavier's incident after Bridget's.
After a long silence, Arya said, "Just... Wait." She almost summoned up all her strength to say these words.
Waiting was the most painful thing, especially in this circumstance.
"Clean your wound." Jacob said.
The cut on her elbow was still bleeding.
But Arya didn't move or speak.
"I think boss didn't want to see you like this. I'll stay here. Just come back after treating."
Arya looked at herself in an unholy mess. Xavier would definitely be worried about her if he saw this.
Seeing that she understood his words, Jacob tipped the nurse a wink, signaling her to help Arya bind up the wound.
There were a few injuries on her body but slight. The one on her elbow was more serious.
After treatment, she returned to the operating room right away.
She was a little tired, leaning back against the wall.
After more than four hours of surgery, the door of the emergency room finally opened. Arya came over immediately, "How is he?"
The doctor compressed his lips and looked at Arya. "We've tried our best, but he was badly injured, so I'm afraid that he is not likely to wake up."
Arya staggered but didn't collapse.
Fortunately, when she saw how badly he was injured, she thought that she would lose him. Although he was in a coma, he was still alive.
Xavier was sent to the ICU, and Arya could only look at him on the other side of the glass.
She still remembered how determined he was when he held her in his arms and block all the dangers with his body.
She wouldn't forget how it felt when Xavier held her in his arms.
The feeling was thrilling and made people physically and mentally moved when someone risked his or her life protecting others.
In the past, she knew that she was touched by this man, but she didn't open her mind to him.
Now, seeing him injured, she realized how much she cared about him and how fearful she was of losing him.
Arya spent the night in the room Jacob arranged but didn't sleep much all night.
In the morning, Jacob bought her breakfast. Arya ate it not for herself, but the child in her belly. She couldn't taste it, only chewed it and swallowed it. After dinner, Arya asked Jacob to bring Daisy here. There was no way to hide the truth from her anymore.
"Let me tell her." Jacob worried that Daisy would vent her anger on Arya if she got furious.
Arya shook her head, as she thought she was Xavier's wife, and she should be the one who told her.
"Just bring her here. I'll tell her."
Jacob nodded. He wanted to say something to Arya but bit his tongue, only saying, "I'll go now."
After Jacob left, Arya got up and went to ICU to see Xavier. The doctor was also there. Xavier was out of the 12-hours danger and now he could be transferred to the ward.
