Chapter 44 Her Condition Is Critical

With every passing second, Alaric found himself in an excruciating limbo, staring at the words "In Surgery" on the door, his hands anxiously clutching his shirt. "Please, Galatea, please be okay," he prayed silently to himself.

The emergency surgery stretched on for nearly six hours, and it was already dawn by the time Galatea was wheeled out of the operating room.

"Doctor, how is she?" Alaric asked, his voice trembling.

"She's out of life-threatening danger, but she has multiple contusions and a traumatic brain injury. We'll have to wait until she wakes up to determine if there will be any cognitive or auditory impairments." 'Traumatic brain injury?' Those words sent a chill down Alaric's spine.

He had requested the best room available, and Galatea was wheeled into the room, still comatose.

"When do you think she'll wake up?"

"With a coma induced by a brain injury, it's hard to say. It could be a day or two, maybe three or four, or even longer," the doctor explained. "Take good care of her and inform us if anything changes." Once the doctor left, it was just the two of them. Alaric sat by her bed. Her complexion was ashen.

He gently lifted her clothing. Her severe wounds had been bandaged, but the sight of the smaller wounds, stained red with blood, was jarring.

After inspecting her injuries, he carefully covered her with the blanket. Looking at her pained him deeply.

"Galatea, please wake up soon."

He recalled his own long coma from years past, a three-year slumber that left him with lingering issues. He couldn't bear the thought of Galatea suffering the same fate.
