In the hospital room, Zev lay motionless, trapped in his bed. His injuries were far too severe for him to move. The catheter that had been inserted was a constant reminder of his helplessness. For a man used to being in control, it was a humiliation he couldn't bear. His temper flared as he demanded that the doctors remove it.

"Zev, you need to calm down!" Kelly's voice was firm as she entered the room. The two doctors were struggling to keep him still.

Kelly's eyes went wide, her heart aching as she fought back the sting of his words. She stood beside his bed, her voice trembling with emotion.

"Zev, don't you ever say something like that again."
