Maximus and Celeste sat in tense silence, waiting for someone to come out of the operating room. Every passing minute felt like torture–Celeste could feel her heart tightening painfully in her chest.

Maximus could sense her distress. He wrapped an arm around her and said softly,

“Peter is stubborn, trust me. He’s going to cling to life with everything he’s got. You and his children are the reason he’s going to fight from now on.”

“You really think so?”

“I don’t just think so I know it.”

Celeste took a deep breath, trying to believe Maximus’s words. They didn’t offer much comfort, but she needed something to hold on to.

“Dr. Wagner, how is Peter? How did it go?!

The look on the doctor’s face sent a cold shiver down Celeste’s spine. Something wasn’t right.

“How is he? Please, tell us! Don’t keep us in suspense,” Celeste begged.
