As Nathan observed Lucinda showing no signs of waking up, a heavy weight settled on his heart, and the entire world seemed shrouded in a somber mist. Tears streamed uncontrollably from Nathans eyes, marking the first time he had cried so profoundly.
Lucinda, stay with me! Please dont leave! Otherwise, Ill carry this guilt with me forever
Nathans eyes were bloodshot and filled with terror. He had always been composed, but at this moment, he was as frantic as a child.
Ten minutes later, Lucinda was transported to Aldorias largest hospital and immediately admitted to the emergency room.
Nathan felt distressed and agitated as he waited outside. He couldnt help but notice the dried blood stains on his fingertips, causing his body to tremble.
The events on the road kept replaying in Nathans thoughts.
The gunshot.
The brutal impact of a stick on Lucindas head, a vulnerable spot laden with nerves.
It felt like a sharp iron spike piercing Nathans heart with excruciating agony, making the pain unbearable.
Nathans gaze darkened with fury, his body seething with a burning anger.

In a burst of anger, Nathan dialed Ellsworths number. It marked the first time he had raised his voice at Ellsworth. The wound on the back of Lucindas head is bleeding. I dont care what it takes, but I must uncover the person who attacked her today. I want them to regret being alive! Ill make them pay for what theyve put us through!
This marked the first instance when Ellsworth heard Nathan teetering on the brink of emotional turmoil. Without any delay, Ellsworth swiftly took action.

Outside the emergency room, every second that passed felt like an eternity to Nathan.
He refrained from eating or drinking. After three long hours, the red Light above the emergency room finally dimmed.
Nathan rose abruptly and spotted a nurse wheeling the unconscious Lucinda towards him. He clutched Lucindas hand firmly and accompanied her into the general ward.
The doctor reassured with a calm voice, No need to fret. Everything looks fine for now. The coma is from a concussion, and the bleeding is not deep. The X-ray shows no brain congestion.
Nathan let out a breath of relief.
However, just as Nathan was starting to feel relieved, the doctor added, Nevertheless, she remains in a coma, and we will closely watch her progress. If she doesnt wake up within 24 hours, we may have to consider more aggressive measures in the emergency room to bring her out of it.
Furthermore, theres a chance of irreversible amnesia once she awakens. It could be temporary, with a chance of recovery, or it might persist for the rest of her life. Please be mentally prepared for this possibility.
The gravity of this update plunged Nathan into a deep, cold despair, almost stealing his breath away.
Nathans voice shook as he asked, Are you saying Lucinda could lose her memories? She could potentially forget me or even everything?
The doctor confirmed with a grave nod, Its a possibility, yes.
As Nathan and the doctor conferred beside her bed, neither noticed Lucindas eyelids fluttering open.
Lucinda listened attentively to the conversation between the doctor and Nathan, even though her eyes remained shut.
