Chapter 534


    Chapter 534


    Dr. Wagner and Zachary were close, and so the former easily agreed to the surgery on short notice.But


    things appeared ominous at the moment.


    "Well, he’s safe and breathing...”


    Debbie panicked right then and dropped her phone, its screen shattering with a loud crack!


    Ember nced at her, but while she felt that Debbie was obviously acting suspicious, Zachary thought


    that Debbie was just thrilled. "Don’t worry.


    James is safe now."


    Debbie kept her head down to hide her reaction. "I''m just so happy...”


    Dr. Wagner suddenly said, "May I finish?"


    "What''s wrong? Didn''t you say he''s saved?" Zachary asked.


    "He''s breathing, but..." Dr. Wagner was looking Zachary in the eye, but soon sighed. ‘I''ve done my


    best."


    Zachary sensed something ominous. "What is it?"


    ’He''s in a vegetative state..."


    "What?" Zachary eximed in fear and disbelief.


    It was a terrible oue-the only difference between a person in a vegetative state and a dead person


    was their breathing!


    "We did what we could," Dr. Wagner added.


    Even if doctors were used to this, a loved one would have a hard time epting such an oue.


    Debbie certainly did not expect the sudden reversal-even if James was alive, how was he different from


    dead, being the vegetable he was?


    Someone up there must be watching out for her!


    Ember, who had been watching Debbie, saw the look on her face.


    Debbie also happened to look up and saw Ember''s gaze, and thetter did not flinch-as if telling her ''l


    saw that’.


    Debbie frowned-Ember had been messing with her for a while now, and it seemed that she must not


    allow her to stay atrge.


    "What''s with that look?" she eximed while looking forlorn. “I don''t have time to waste with you now


    after all that."


    With that, she walked up to Dr. Wagner. "When can he leave?"


    "We''re keeping him in the ICU for 48 hours. If there''s no issue after that, we will put him in a normal


    ward,” Dr. Wagner replied.


    "Thank you," Zachary said, mustering his spirit just then-he knew Dr.


    Wagner''s ability, and despite how things turned out, Dr. Wagner must have done all he could.


    "No. I''m sorry I can''t do anything else for him-”


    "I know you did your best," Zachary said-their friendship was enough to justify that understanding.


    As they watched James being wheeled to ICU, Zachary sat on a bench along the walkway in silence.


    "No one wanted this," Ember said, wrapping her arms around him. "It''s alright. Everyone did their best.”


    Zachary turned to look at her just then.


    He could not get a read on her at all, and every sign pointed to her being heinous.


    Even so, he felt warmth from thefort she offered at the moment.


    "Thank you, Ember."


    Ember actually pursed her lips right then.


    She could feel Zachary''s earnestness and was left so emotional she could burst into tears right then.


    "We''re married, Zachary," she rasped. "That means we should always look out for each other. I would


    even take a bullet for you if you''re willing to ept me."


    Zachary brushed his fingers through her hair. "I don’t need you to take a bullet for me, silly.”


    "I would either way," Ember said. "I''m with you ‘till the end of the line." One could only say something


    like that if they loved another person rotten.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
