Chapter 3 - The Hospital Decision
Doctors rushed me into surgery.
Nurses cut away my ruined clothes.
Someone kept repeating numbers.
Another nurse asked.
"Where's the father?"
Nobody answered.
A doctor looked at my chart.
"Twenty-four weeks."
"We have minutes."
"We either save the mother first..."
"Or risk losing both."
My eyes filled with tears.
"Please..."
"Save my daughter."
The doctor held my hand.
"We'll do everything we can."
Outside the operating room...
My phone finally buzzed.
One message.
From Alex.
Not...
"Are you okay?"
Not...
"Where are you?"
Just four words.
Is Valerie conscious yet?
I stared at the screen.
May you like
Then switched my phone off.
