Sadie nodded, "That's good. Once she's better, I'll set her up in Newark with a house so you all can live peacefully."

Jonny stammered, "Th-that's not necessary..."

"Let's not get into that now," Sadie cut him off. "Just pray they both pull through. If anything happens, I won't forgive you!" "Yes," Jonny mumbled, looking down.

They waited quietly outside the emergency room.

Time dragged on, and dawn eventually broke. Sadie stood in the hallway, watching the sky clear up after the rain. The morning sun brought a sense of hope, but she felt uneasy. Suddenly, Arya shouted, "They're coming out!"

Sadie rushed over. Dr. Henry emerged, removing his mask. "Thank God, Mia's out of the woods."

"That's great," everyone sighed in relief.

The weight on Sadie's heart lifted. Maybe her bad feeling was just nerves.

Annika came up. "Ms. James, Serena's results will be out soon too."

Sadie hurried downstairs with Annika and the others.

Jonny was pacing outside the emergency room. When he saw Sadie, he rushed over. "Ms. James." "How is it?" Sadie asked.

"She hasn't come out yet, but the emergency light is off, so it should be soon," Jonny replied. "How's Mia?" "Mia's stable now. It's going to be okay," Sadie reassured him.

Jonny sighed in relief. "That's good, that's good."

Andrew exclaimed, "They're coming out."

Sadie saw the doctor and hurried over. "Doctor, how is she?"

The doctor looked grim. "I'm sorry, Ms. James. Serena's brain injury is severe. She's in a deep coma."

"What do you mean?" Sadie asked, panicked.

"She's brain dead, which means she won't wake up anytime soon," the doctor explained.

Jonny collapsed, and Andrew caught him. "We'll replace a way; there must be a way."

Sadie was stunned. "No, maybe there's something you're missing. There has to be another way."

The doctor suggested, "Dr. Henry is here. You can ask him to take a look."

"Yes, Dr. Henry," Sadie said to Annika. "Go get him."

"Dr. Henry just finished surgery; let him rest a bit," Annika replied. "I'll organize Serena's reports and take them to him."

The doctor handed over the reports. "I'll have someone bring them to you."

Annika nodded, "Thank you, doctor!"

Sadie, determined, took Serena's reports to Dr. Henry.

Dr. Henry reviewed the reports, frowned, and went to examine Serena without resting.

An hour later, Dr. Henry's conclusion was the same, but he offered a glimmer of hope. "Right now, there's no way to fix brain death, but medical technology is advancing fast. Maybe in a few years, there will be breakthroughs. As long as she's well cared for, there's still hope!"
