It was a long distance between General Hospital and the outskirts of A City. Coupled with the heavy traffic downtown, by the time Marcos arrived at the hospital, it was already past 10:30 p.m.

There was only half an hour left before visitors were prohibited from entering the ICU.

“Where's my mother?" Out of breath, Marcos trotted over without even greeting Luke and Luca. He just wanted to see his mother's condition and confirm whether they really found her.

Luca looked at the sweat dripping from Marcos' forehead and pointed to the entrance of the ICU. "Mr. Marcos, I've already informed the nurse, so you can go in once you put on the isolation gown. The name your mother registered here is Sarah Poplar. Let the doctor know when you go in, and he'll take you to your mother's bed."

Without further ado, Marcos put the isolation gown on.

After disinfecting, the nurse let him in.

The professional doctors and nurses inside asked Marcos for the patient's name and brought him to Sarah's bed.

Marcos saw the woman lying on the hospital bed. Due to the craniotomy, her golden blonde hair was completely shaved off. Her head was wrapped in layers and layers of gauze, and her chapped lips were as pale as her face.

She was his biological mother...

Tears rolled down Marcos' cheeks when he saw how frail Sarah was. From her sunken face and prominent high cheekbones, he could tell that she had suffered a lot in the past 20 years.

Marcos asked the doctor in English, "How is my mother doing?"

"The intracranial hemorrhage was caused by a cerebral aneurysm, but it's better if you ask the doctor about the specifics." The doctor glanced at Sarah's medical records and then at Marcos.

"Can she hear my voice?" Marcos asked again.

"The anesthesia hasn't worn off yet, so she can't hear you. You should go first. We'll notify you immediately if there's anything wrong with the patient," said the doctor. Visitors were not allowed to visit the ICU anymore, so he could not let Marcos stay any longer.

Marcos wanted to accompany Sarah, but the doctor did not let him, so he could only walk out with his head down.
