The doctor looked at me with a mix of empathy and concern in her eyes. "Mr. Thompson, Maria has suffered severe internal injuries from the accident. We are doing everything we can to stabilize her condition. She's currently in critical condition and undergoing emergency surgery."
"For a person who had undergone a Heart transplant years ago, the amount of shock that she experienced triggered a lot of medical issues in addition to the injuries across the chest region due to her fall."
My heart sank at the doctor's words. I felt a rush of guilt and regret washing over me. If only I had been honest with Maria from the beginning, maybe she wouldn't be in this situation. But there was no time for self-pity now. I needed to focus on Maria's well-being.
My hands trembled as he clenched my fists. "Will she make it? Please, tell me she will make it," I pleaded, with my voice filled with raw emotion.
